Heh. It'd be so against the forum guidelines.

Oh, are you now? Well then, prove it. And I'm no fanboy. FanMAN if anything. :ph34r:

So, um, any particular reason why you use a format that's so hard to read? If you think it will dissuade me from charging ahead... you are right.

Yeah, well. I'd totally flame both of you to hell, but I have no intention of going back to probation... yet. "

You can have one of those too, Mus.

Damn, I can't rent that one! Oh, wait. It's HL2 we're talking about. Nevermind. "

Any chances they'll include the story they forgot to add into the game? "

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! We know you're lying, anyway.

Okay, if it's Porn with a capital P we're talking about, it must be serious stuff.

You just start up a thread about Dubya and you're good to go.

Well, that might work, if getting rid of him is what you're after. We have so many idiots with their heads up their asses on TV over here that one more would not draw any attention, you know.

That's simplifying a tad too much. But at any rate, good luck with "destroying" one of the most successful companies in the video game industry. He's going to need it.

Looks like Baley's suffering one of his SPAMoplasmosis fits... again. :ph34r:

Oh, come on Alan, admit it. You're just playing along with the girls.

A good scary game relies very heavily in the use of atmosphere. Sound, lighting (total absence of light is not lighting, it's "darkening"), and level design play a huge role in that. Music too, if used very sparingly and at key points. The enemies themselves don't need to be numerous nor aesthetically repulsive. But they need to be able to keep you on edge. AvP and AvP2 are probably the only games that have been able to keep me on edge every single second on the first playthrough. Doom 3 does none of that. It just has ugly monsties and overuse (the understatement of the year) of dark areas. It had pretty graphics too, I guess.

You ain't seen nothing yet, baby.

Yes, yes. That's what I meant. Absolutely.

Hey, you can't zing yourself! That's cheating!

Yeah, but when you do, then who is going to protect us? :ph34r:

Always the party crasher, are we?

Hold on a second. That was supposed to be a flame, wasn't it?

Oh, wow. But at least we can rent PC games over here, buddy. Take THAT!

You're killing me man. I'd gladly go have some coffee with you, but I really don't have anything to wear. No, I don't have anything to wear to Starbucks. :ph34r:
