  1. Lack of Nazis? What kind of complaint is that? It's not like there have been dozens Indy movies filled to the brim with Nazis. The same goes for your other complaints. Until a couple of weeks ago there were three Indy movies of which, two had Nazis, familiar Judeo-Christian mythos, and globe trotting adventure. And the Last Crusade had those mostly because Raiders was more successful than Temple, and Spielberg decided to play it safe and connect it as much as possible to the original. Note that The Last Crusade wasn't any better received than Temple. Finally, "OT"? When the hell did Indian Jones become a trilogy? It implies that there was some sort of continuity or master plan when there was none. PS.: I enjoyed The Last Crusade a great deal. Edit: @TrueNeutral: I agree that Raiders was far and away the best of all the Indy movies. What I don't agree is putting The Last Crusade in a pedestal in relation to Temple of Doom.
  2. Explain yourself. You and Sand has been first persons ever to prefer Temple over Crusade as far as my experience shows. It is also the most critically slacked movie of three and no wonder Third one has Sean Connery as Indy's dad. That alone makes it better than stupid CGI-fest that was Temple of Doom It had a great balance between the high adventuring and the scariness, the three leads had great chemistry, the dinner scene balanced the tense conversations with the food comic relief really well, the bridge scene was awesomely tense, ditto for the room with the spikes, the humor was great, the beginning with Anything Goes and the poisoning was at least as good as Raiders' beginning. Finally, and I'm going out on a limb here, the reason why most people you know like The Last Crusade better than Temple of Doom is because it was the first Indy film most people your age saw in theaters. Feel free to lambast me if I'm completely wrong.
  3. That chipset means your motherboard has a 478 Pentium socket which is a bit outdated. What's you CPU's clockspeed? What power supply do you currently own? EDIT: This is the best 478 socket processor available on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819116027
  4. Temple of Doom is much better than The Last Crusade. @Sand: The failure in that logic is that while Bioware makes competent if uninspired games, Lucas has been part of some truly atrocious pieces of film making. Like Howard the Freaking Duck, or The Phantom Menace.
  5. This talking about a trailer, and then never ever showing it is really not nice at all. I want to see more character models.
  6. Yes, that may well be - but not everyone can afford to buy a new computer every 2
  7. The word on ME's forums is that EA's DD store is worse than eating babies. And by their descriptions, it sounds pretty bad.
  8. Gothic 2's English dubs were pretty bad...
  9. All I got was a bunch of torrents.
  10. Is there a version of Gothic 2 in german with english subtitles somewhere? Because that would be awesome.
  11. Huh? I've personally found that many game voice actors are extremely skilled. Sure you haven't just been playing awfull games? I'm buying it a few days after it hits. Like Xard said, I was actually talking about dubs, not original work.
  12. Every once in a while, there's news here of Portuguese immigrants being victims of criminal violence in South Africa. It seems like violence is one of the most common problems there. I had a couple of friends living there for a while, but they have left some time ago.
  13. Personally, I'm a fan of subtitles. In my experience, VO is generally awful, and only fit for kids who can't read.
  14. I can't afford it right now, having spent quite some money in games for the past few weeks. However, at some point I guess I'm going to give it a go. I'll probably find it competent in a bland way. Generally, I'd be more excited if I still cared about Bioware's RPGs, and from what I have read this sounds like a repeat of the things I didn't like in Bioware's previous games.
  15. As far as I can recall, Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade weren't particularly well received at the time of release, so I'm guessing all the complaints about Crystal skull will fade away and everyone will like it as much as the rest of the series. As for Rhys-Davies not appearing, he wasn't in Temple of Doom either, so I don't see what's sacrilegious about it.
  16. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it isn't particularly good. Very predictable, and the writing seems generally uninspired.
  17. 8600GT. I'd stick to this store, if I were you.
  18. That's not really true, it just depends on your budget. A 9600GT is about 30% cheaper than a 8800GT, and it certainly isn't 30% slower. Edit: Nevermind, get this 8800GT. Prices are higher in Finland, my ass.
  19. I'd like to add that 80
  20. Painkiller. Getting all the souls is a bitch. They take ages to show up, and when they do, sometimes they're really far away due to the freaky physics.
  21. Who's this Stephen Spielberg person?
  22. Who's this Stephen Spielburg person?
