It's certainly not better than a random anime.

Ohh there was also a knife specialist assassin working for the other side in gunslinger girl.

How about listing a top 10 of 70s action films you like, I might check some out if I don't know em already. I dunno if French connection is an action film, it has a car chase sure, but not much in the way of bang bang.

That would be undemocratic obviously, the first step in the creation of an officially stamped elite caste, and who would decide what citizens were more worthy than others.

What does one have to do with the other, a meritocracy means the best people are promoted by virtue of their accomplishments. Are you suggesting we should dole out voting power the same way. At least part of the American meritocracy is an illusion, apply yourself, work hard, and if you try hard enough you get a slice of the American dream. It's ideology, the facts are that wealth or poverty, influence or indifference more often runs through generations. If you have a cushion of wealth to pass on to your children to buy them expensive educations they are going to do better regardless of talent.

I've always preferred some degree of realism or at least believability in action scenes. John Woo type stuff tends to piss me off as much as it entertains me. When the violence gets too cartoonish, it loses me. I utterly loathed Shoot 'Em Up There are a couple of exceptions to that rule, Hard Boiled, The killer, even Face Off, the latter has really cartoony action but somehow it's good anyway. He's done plenty of stinkers, but few directors know how to get an action scene to flow as well has him. My pet peeve is kung fu movies that aren't grounded in reality. Flying around like superman, running on water or parting a whole forest with one sword chop, that pisses me off no end. If you don't believe it the danger and suspense vanishes. 70s and 80s hollywood action films are almost universally bad.

Last time around I ignored silver styles and built up aard and igeni instead. Also planned on building up the rest of the signs with the points I had in spare, but they turned out to be as useless as I had feared, so I stopped. Lots of points in endurance meant I could win fights without using my sword except between aard or igeni being charged up. Igeni is perhaps too good though, winning fights using only that sign got to be boring.

Stallone is not a good director though. and the actors aren't good enough to make up for it.

Cause it was kinda boring.

Parrots are generally very jealous of potential suitors.

You think he ever gets pestered at parties to do a "Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!"

Piracy never threatened the bottom line before the proliferation of broad band connections. Now the means of sharing anything are so prevalent it's no wonder copyright holders are going ape****.

Ron Pearlman has been in loads of poor movies. Later on in the movie there is a shot for shot rip off of, I think it's one of the half life 1 adons, can't remember, where the protagonist is turned into a mutant.

The starter lazer cutter is the best gun in the game unless you need to take out something with a ludicrous amount of hitpoints. I recommend upgrading that, and your suit, then take a heavy gun as you begin to have spare upgrade canisters for it. Money is better spent on ammo than wading around with 8 guns you can only use poorly.

My brother used to go around talking to himself in morse code while preparing for some kind of seaman qualification, back in the days morse code was still required. 'Di daa di daa daa daa di'. Drove the rest of us crazy.

People hire lawyers who say they are going to lose up front all the time..

By the way,can you turn a printer port into a USB connection with an adaptor jack. My mew mobo doesn't have a printer port, and I was just given a lazer printer wich only has one printer port.

I had a weird bug where the DRM scheme would keep kicking me back to the desktop and not letting me run it, I cracked it and that solved the problem. Well if the game is cracked troubleshooting is kinda pointless, as you can't tell a protection trigger from a general error. I think we have to assume it's not. Anyway it's only a CD check, that just spawns a 'please insert the correct CD and restart the application'.

No, on second thought that's not it, the error message would have mentioned with bink.dll.

Could be bink.dll. If you have a version mismatch the came can't play the opening cinematic, but then it could be a million other things as well.

Morse code is binary. Long and short is all there is.

It does work, it just takes a looooong to install during which it looks like the program starts to hang, it doesn't though, even if the task manager says it's doing nothing, it is.

What, you need a translator to read binary? Weak. And you of course have all the ASCII codes memorised. How does binary translate to numeral.

Is there no way to get something with extensive copyright protection written into the code to run on Linux. Isn't there a windows environment emulator. I have no experience with Linux, but I need to be able to handle cross platform and open office and whatnot for work so I'm going to fool around a bit with it.

I thought it was morse code or something
