I will not go there. I lie.

Haha, a 12yearold could have made that website.

I think everyone has lost perspective on what a bussiness was originally meant for: The primary function of a manufacturer of RPGs is to make and supply the public with the best possible RPGs they can make. As like how grocery stores are there to supply the people with food, the transportation company to make sure you can get where you need to go, the phone company so you can call or send data where you need to. *shakes fist*

Since I dont have a TV right now Im watching films and stuff on the computer and I dont think Ive seen longer than 15min without pausing to fiddle with something.

As you probably already know, new Xbox games retail for about 25% more than the exact same for PC for no reason at all except that MS wants more money. Now looking at prices for upcomming 360 games I see that they retail for 25% more than the Xbox counterparts and 50% more than PC Examples (in swede money) Oblivion (PC) 400 SEK Oblivion (360) 600 SEK!! Gun (PC) 430 Gun (Xbox) 570 Gun (360) 650!!! M$ are practicly encouraging people to chip their 360s and pirate games by charging such enormous overprices.

Generally speaking, Film producers approach sequels "Dang! This film made some serious $$$, lets squeeze another one out quick and ride the hype!" While game developers go "lets take everything we learned while making the first game and make the sequel an even better one!"

Huh huh huhu... you said bear

He does on that record. Kyuss - Gardenia

I think the "classics" thing is just a case of the old rose-coloured glasses again. K2 is perhaps the best CRPG Ive ever played, it was without a doubt the most immersive playing experience and no other game rival the depth of its story and characters. Of course, seeing a characters face whilst hearing a real actor say the lines makes it seem a lot deeper than if youre staring at a sprite and reading text

Well, what can you say... Gabby is hardcore

Since you apparenthly couldnt be bothered to supply the actual quotes that I asked for, Ill find them myself. Gah... 2:216 Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not. 9:29 Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low 8:38 Tell those who disbelieve that if they cease (from persecution of believers) that which is past will be forgiven them; but if they return (thereto) then the example of the men of old hath already gone (before them, for a warning). 8:39 And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they cease, then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do. Fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. 8:40 And if they turn away, then know that Allah is your Befriender - a Transcendent Patron, a Transcendent Helper 9:5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. 5:38 As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise 8:65 O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you twenty steadfast they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a hundred (steadfast) they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence.

Of course we want verses, you cant say something like that and not back it up.

The thing is, for every part that speaks of love and nice things in the Bible and Koran or Tora or whatever.. there is atleast one passage about damnation, punishment and all sorts of nasty things that can be used to justify anything from beating your children to ethnic cleansing. and it doesnt take a lot to give it a fundamentalist bend. In fact, there are plenty of passages that does in fact directly encourage violence.

RPG are not dying out bu the single player CRPG has been largely replaced by the MMORPGs which is 1. A bad thing because it means less developers make CRPGs 2. A good thing because it forces the remaining developers to go beyond simple hack and slash games and implement more of the elements that a MMO can never truly have: story and characters. Game industry pundits claim the MMOs have reached their peak and will decline over the next few years.

If it was, you wouldnt have been here to write that "

Like any good Game Design student I spend ALL my free time playing games of some kind... that hurt my score pretty bad. Not like in artschool where wine and women flowed "

1. I didn't know it was lost. (Badump-tish!) 2. Did he find it, or is this why Odin hasn't been heard of since Christianity "converted" the Nordic heathens ...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. It was.. by your mum! (Ka-dish!) 2. He did find wisdom after his quests. I dont remeber if he learned from all of them or if it specificly was when he drank of the water in the spring of widom by the roots of Yggdrasil(which he had to sacrifice his eye to do)

This is only alightly riot-related but Ive always wondered why people always stick like flies to accidents/crimescenes in the third world. Whenever you see a bombed car or helicopter wreck, the crowds are always friggin standing and jumping on it. There was a carbomb in X the other day and I swear there were atleast 10people jumping on the wreck as it lay upside down.

If it has magic and swords, its Fantasy If it has spaceships, its Sci-Fi

But the vikings were ahead of Christianity as this theory clearly indicates that the earth is a spherical.. although only half a sphere

I demand all schools must immediately teach their students the creation myth of the Asatro. The world is formed by the top of the giant Ymers(who was Slain by Oden, Vile and Ve) cranium, the land his flesh and the seas his blood. I mean, its perfectly reasonable, innit? "

Dont mess with the Jesus, pendejo...

Well Jesus did say that its easier for a camel to jump through a needles eye than for a rich man to get to heaven

If the system shares a larger "pool" of memory instead of having seperate mem for the GPU, wont that mean a substantial loss of bandwidth?
