  1. All muslims are secretly anime fans. You mean hentai.
  2. So it is turn based and they were only poking fun at people who say turn-based is a thing of the past?
  3. Filched this off Morgoth's links: "So that moment, the dark contortions of the plot at large, is the third and final triumph that makes BioShock an instant classic. But it also precedes the third and final problem. This is a short sequence and not a very difficult one, but its mediocrity is hard to stomach because of when it occurs. It's the end. After a game so singularly smart and beautiful that it makes others seem laughable, we get a final level that could have been pulled straight from the tripe BioShock puts to shame elsewhere. Imagine Citizen Kane ending, after you find out what 'Rosebud' means, with zombie Orson Welles fighting a giant Agent Smith made of smaller Agent Smiths. It doesn't negate how wonderful the preceding experience has been, but it does rather spoil the mood. Regardless, Bioshock is a dark and astonishing masterpiece. It might not be as flawless as Half-Life 2, but it bites off so much more and accomplishes it all magnificently. Even if you've soaked up every preview and trailer with relish, you haven't scratched the surface of how deep this unsettling meditation on hubris and insanity actually goes. If it were just a thrilling ride through a twisted and remarkable plot, BioShock would eventually get old. But there's a physicality and openness to its richly systematic combat that suggests it'll stay fresh for a very long time. This is the really bewildering thing about it: it succeeds so stunningly on three different fronts. Not esoteric ones, either, these are the big challenges developers have been struggling to master for decades: narrative, emergence, a sense of place. If another game did just one of these as well as BioShock, it would immediately qualify as a classic. When a game comes along that does all three, we can only be baffled and thankful. I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. BioShock has five. - Tom Francis" I believe the word is awesome. Edit: I pre-ordered a game for the first time in my life.
  4. I thought he was going to live forever... :'(
  5. Apparently, the limited edition will not be available in Portugal... Which means that, if I want to get it, I'll have to order it from Spain with extra shipping fees. Bastards.
  6. The spinning bottom in Kor's sig knocks everyone out, without a saving throw. :excl10:
  7. I found the part where you said "Oh, how I'll love you" as a comment on my profile. I thought you were threatening me. To stay on topic, I am (appropriately) listening to: Pixies -- La La Love You That wasn't part of the scavenger hunt. I'm guessing "Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart" is. Either that or you want to boink me... Carl Orff - Musica Poetica

  9. Or you could play a new game instead of the same stuff over and over.
  10. I like turtlenecks... they're cuddly around the neck. :'(
  11. enters the room and says "WTF?" He pulls out an SMG and starts to shoot randomly.
  12. That image totally needs something written on it.
  13. No, that's pretty much what everyone did. Indeed.
  14. The Man Who Knew Too Much (second version) - Great The Lady Vanishes - Good Saboteur - Ok

  16. Woohoo!!!!
  17. The Wrong Man. Quite great.
  18. Awesome.
  19. Some evidence is better than no evidence at all. Besides, the debate isn't between belief in evolution and belief in God. It's between belief because of evidence and belief regardless of evidence. I believe in evolution because evidence appears to support it. If some evidence appears that disproves evolution, I will stop believing in it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmaker_an...chmaker_Analogy
  20. Human neocortex is just larger and more complex than the neocortex of other species. So, functionally at least, that's just like asking why a dog's nose is better than a person's nose.
  21. Uninstall Firefox and install it again?
