I guess bad endings are fashionable these days
Kaftan Barlast replied to Kaftan Barlast's topic in Computer and Console
To whom it may concern: I already played the DooM3 demo so I know what Im up against. My plan is to buy it and force myself to love it as a symbolic act of resistance. My ID fanboyism is very deeply rooted. Not only because Ive played every one of their games since it came, and was one of the first to play on the internet. No its much more than that, like how they released a fully playable D3 for Linux(!) Back in my days as a naughty pirate, ID software was one of the few companies we had so much respect for that we never pirated their products. -
I for one, would welcome it. IMO, everything except the Dark Horse comics that takes place between AotC and RotS, is junk. And those comics are 100% in line with the films and probably the most canon part of the EU so he cant f*ck with them.

Well, Ill just say this- Im not buying another Valve product again. Ill trade this one in for DooM3, which I will love regardless, since Im a an ID Software fanboi and have been since 1993. ..hey wait a sec, I cant trade Hl2 because Valve wont let anyone else register with my key, correct? # -
But the above mentioned countries are perticulary useless since they not only have extremely severe punishments, but also the highest production of narcotics in the region.

What a game should look like: beginning-middle-end what most games look like, even those who claim to have "a story": -middle- see? -
"I find my new lack of reporductive organs disturbing." ..but seriously, Vader is friggin' Vader and he isnt supposed to be some girlie-man who longs for his girlfriend.

Useful info: drink lots of water before you pass out. Also, try to hit something soft when you do. :D

completely useless info: well, almost.

Mace-Palps showdown in the official novelization
Kaftan Barlast replied to Nur Ab Sal's topic in Way Off-Topic
Well, how about.. NO. -
I like fun contests that you dont have to take so seriously. I have absolutely no winner instinct, and its always annoying to see those "must win" types ruin the fun. The only "contest" I remember is a month ago when we got the old 1337 crew together for a match of Q3. When it was over I was so jacked up that it was like Id had a whole pot of coffee. It was great :D

This got me thinking. Shark are oe of the most evolved species of the planet, having existed for hundreds of millions of years(only to become fishsticks at the hands of man but thats another issue). What is was wondering: Do sharks get cancer? edit: Whiteteeth> I would certainly say that society has put evolution out of comission when it comes to us humans. Atleast in the respect that "damaged" genes are allowed to live on due to modern medicine. If people with hereditary diseases did not get the chance to live and procreate, the diesease would disapear. Obvious things. Then comes that whole ill-associated discussion if its right to let people with these diseases have children. IMO, no.

I dont see how spoilers could really be applied to an FPS game so I didnt use the blacktags.[/i So I finally finished it and what happens? Do I bring peace and happiness to the world? Do I get the girl? Do I get to rock n roll all night and party all day? No, just as the big fat ending explosion takes place, the G-man comes along and talks some brief gibberish, teleports you away and then its end credits. WTF?! I am left feeling completely indifferent. Had this been an RPG I would have raged and ranted a minor essay but now Ill just sigh quietly and hope that in the future, game designer will realise that the ending must top or equal the middle part, you cant just fade to black and leave the player disapoointedly staring at the end credits. -
Homo Sapiens Sapiens if you must now. And it has already happened, we are them. We are slaves to the constructs of our society and as such we are unable to control our individual fate, let alone the future of the entire species. Genetic engineering will come wether we are ready or not, and it will be whored to kingdom come by the rich & powerful. Hooray!

Your mum. " Fate, huh? You know what I call it? Cowardice. And as homoerotic as LotR may be, alteast it doesnt have whiny girlie-men as heroes.

I blame George for transforming Darth Saruman to a sissy between one film and the other, in order to replace him with a lame cyborg with bad posture and tubercolosis.
-
Of course, Saruman was the most powerful of the Istari. But Gandalf came back and pwnd Saruman with a vengeance. Yoda took it like a b*tch and ran away to hide in a swamp for ever.

Did you see when that sonar operator made funny noises trying to mimic all kinds of undersea sounds? I liked his battleship impression. useless fact: The Discovery channel is part of the basic cable and is thus available to the majority of Swedes.

The films and the expanded universe are sometimes considered to be part of the same canon and sometimes not. It doesnt really need to be debated, if the films say "its like this" then thats it, period. You really have to ask the Lucasfilm continuity editors about that, Lucius. But since they both contain elements that contradict the prequels its doubtful.

Obviously he built it himself with his trusty bat-dremel. "

Strangely enough, no vampire or demon ever tries any other technique than the regular "ambush her in mass" or "lure her into an elaborately set trap that she is guaranteed to escape". Who knows why? Maybe they lack the personality to make a proper attempt at wooing our heroine, or maybe they just arent that creative? Or maybe they're thinking that since she's barely wearing anything at all, trying to charm her pants off would be quite futile. note: Vampirella (the heroine that is) does not wear chastity latex, that is strictly for the wardrobe of the vaticans sisterhood of sacred vampire hunters.

Reading that Darwin Awards page and then going out to do some brush clearing with powertools was no clever idea. I kept expecting to die horribly at any moment. ..and the sick thing is that it almost happened. I wont bother with circumstances, but I was nearly squashed by the minitractor.

If LotR > Star Wars then Gandalf > Yoda
-
In this instance, its stuff that's officially part of the world and continuity of the Star Wars universe. Something that happens in a canon comic has officially happened in the SW universe(like how Anakin got that scar from his duel with Asajj Ventress that took place in a comicbook and the clone wars cartoon)

Dear god! What have they done to you, Shoaneb!!!?? -
It would be fun working as a continuity editor at LucasFilms for a day, then you could just move everything to the "scratched" list where all the 80's crap is 1. Nick Cohn says we live 4-5 lives simultaneously. I dont know where that puts Jung. 2. I wish I didnt either Its just that I have access to lots of comics to read when Im bored or waiting for something.
