Because Cute. Well, not.

No, that's not accurate. Read: very very very VERY loosely based That's closer ... well... more like a Very true, Darque. Unfortunately. At least it doesn't appear to be as bad as Catwoman *shivers*

not until you tell me why there are 60 different ways to spell "own" and no one ever uses "own". Some people still use own. And deviations of the word own, as far as i can tell, are deviations that appeared because people mistyped the words on online channels. The deviations just got widespread use and famous. Now you can answer my question.

Can anyone explain to me this tendency of writing 'fanboi' instead of 'fanboy'?

No. The Constantine movie is based (read: very loosely based) on the character John Constantine from the Hellblazer series from DC Comics.

That's an awesome suggestion, but seeing as how the CRPGers apparently have no hand eye coordination, and they complained about the extremely simple Ebon Hawk turret minigame, I think we'd get complaints of 'twitch' elements. Funny that, i always thought it was their dislike of 'twitch gaming' in a CRPG itself, and not a lack of hand eye coordination. But what do i know, eh?

No doubt, but hinting that they should get the Fallout license is somewhat naive, because most of the reasons for the support they get in the matter aren't based on their achievements as a company, or in the quality of their products. Before the hype they surrounded themselves with, who would actually point at them as a company who could pull it? How many gamers did you hear saying Silver Style could handle the Fallout franchise before they generated said hype by saying they were negotiating the acquisition of the license, and hiring two former devs from the cancelled game? How many gamers looked at Gorasul and Soldiers of Fortune, and immediately thought, "These guys could handle Fallout 3?". Not many, i can tell you that.

I'm amazed people still clamor for Silver Style.

I have avatars and signatures disabled. /me doesn't tremble.

When i stated they could get the name, i didn't meant in an ilegal way.

Except message boards are not exactly the best representation of what the consumer base might want. Message boards are mostly for fans of a company to trade opinions on said company's products. While you get good suggestions once in a while, there's a reason why many of them are not taken to heart by developers, and ultimately, do not make any appearance in a game. Bluntly put, they're either flat out bad (the most common reason), or do not fit the team's vision or needs for their product. Obsidian are aware of people's opinions and views. They're not ignoring us, but they certainly aren't being held hostage to our demands, either. Incidentally, attributing an insulting label to a company if they won't do what you think they should do isn't exactly smart. For this, we'd have to assume that the input people on message boards boards give out actually makes it to the game. We'd also have to assume that suggestions and gamer input are what make the game a success, when in fact, its likely to be the work put into the game by the team that will make it a success. Also, we'd have to assume that it was a good idea to award gamers with free copies of a game because they gave a suggestion that made it to the game. How many hundred would flood the boards trying to get the same result? Finally, we'd have to assume that knowing who gave the idea that makes it into the game was an easy task. How many people have given similar suggestions? Would all those that gave the same idea received free copies? And what if someone just decides to post an idea which isn't even theirs? How does one ascertain who is the creator of the idea itself? Nothing prevents developers from getting the real names from message board users, and including it in credits.

Holland won, and as such, they'll be Portugal's adversary. Sweden kicks the bucket. Next up: Denmark vs. Czech Republic.

And France just lost again Greece. Booyah!!

Someone give me those old time cassete tapes. Why did you had to abandon the ZX Spectrum format? Bastards.

What do you mean? Should've he stepped aside? Basically, Terry was blocking the goalkeeper on purpose while some other english player was aiming for the goal. Suffice to say, that's foul play. Regardless thats in the past. Portugal has been trough equally wrenching, game-crippling situations, and we got over it. It doesn't even matter who won; i found myself loving the game even when Portugal was losing, because of the effort both teams were putting into it.

And we friggin' WON!!! WHAAAAAAAAAA! Excellent game. Both teams did a good game, though Portugal was much superior. It's a shame someone has to stay behind, but it's life. Portugal >>>>>>> England :D

Today, Portugal vs. England. Comments?

Perhaps you should read closely, and in the process, try to differentiate between real and credible. Just a hint.

Are you generally this thick or you just like to play games ?!? Both, but that doesn't matter, because i was responding to your comment on how one set of special effects were more "fake and unbeleivable" than other, when in fact they're both fake and unbelievable.

They looked fake and unbeleivable. I'm sorry, i must've missed the credibility in the part where a liquid metal blob assumes a human apperance. Seriously, if the gripe you have with them is the credibility, sure, it's your opinion. But in terms of quality, i still maintain mine that the Matrix is superior to T2.

I think the Matrix special effects were anything but inferior to those seen in T2. The difference in years and the technical advancement should be an indication of that. Moving on, the Matrix sequels didn't warranted any special reaction from me in terms of the fighting sequences. Reloaded made something which i thought was impossible - which was to make the fights look dull. The first Matrix, in terms of combat sequences, manages to be quite convincing and interesting. One of the main reasons for this is that the combats are all done between people. The coreographed effort of two actors is much more convincing than nigh endless CGI Smiths re-enacting Dragon Ball Zesque fights (i swear i was half-expecting a couple of Smiths to energize, grow blonde hair and pull flurries of blows and Kamehamahas (sp)). Granted, there are combats against human opponents in the sequels as well, but to a lesser degree, and not as interesting. Bullet Time was overexacerbated. And in the first movie, there was always the doubt of wheter Neo was in fact the One or not (i know, having Keanu as the main star of the movie and not having him be the One would be a copout; i'm talking storywise). Each fight - specially against agents - carried the underlying idea that a fight could be the last. Not as much in the sequels. If anything, the Matrix sequels only made me enjoy the original more. Regardless, in the end, the Matrix sequels suck. Reloaded has Keanu's scrawny ass on-screen. Folks, that's a big NO right there.

I did the test and got a Homer Simpson picture. WTH?

If you don't care, why bring it up? Or maybe you should instead try to be mature enough to not refer to quibbles you may have had with me in the past, since they're not relevant (or rememberd correctly, as your statement would indicate). When did being politically correct became a issue? It's interesting that you imply i over-analyze people's posts... My post above was pretty nonchalant. I didn't made any statement against you, nor against your previous remark. I didn't asked you to rephrase it. Yet, you simply looked at it, and flipped out, changing in on the grounds of political correctedness... which no one else here seems to have brought up. Perhaps over-analyzing what others say is a trait which isn't exclusively mine, eh? Though over-reacting might be something worse.

Fallout didn't have serious writing? Whoa.
