I don't dance at all. That's how bad I dance. For some reason my girlfriend seems adamant about teaching me to dance. Oh well, it's her feet that will suffer...

That too!

Thanks for the tip, alanschu.

You're not alone. Most people who did so were impressionable little sheep who would cry a river at the thought of a paper cut. Yes, I am speaking of experience. I talked to gobs of fans of the game. Teary-eyed dolts, all of them. Nevermind telling them how many characters in the series died before Aeris, in equally heroic manners. Aeris is their holy gospel or something. Then again it depends on what kind of people we're talking. Me, I would have cried at the slaughter shown at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan because just imagining the horror of humanity at its worst makes me cave in, but I was accompanied at the time so it wasn't in my best interest to do it.

I just read "Shocking a kitten?" as the thread's title. I think I'm gaining a tendency to misread thread titles which, albeit funny sometimes, can be worrying.

Like a giant shrimp you could go out with, ride it, then go home at night and eat it? And unlike women you wouldn't need to take them out to dinner to get all that. Yeah, science needs to make some of those.

A game like no other.

Tim Cain said on occasion that Troika were to blame for ToEE's problems. Even in interviews. Troika were a mixed bag, irresponsible in some situations but also found themselves in some awkward cases with publishers... Leon Boyarsky for instance examplified that they had to rush for Arcanum's deadline because of Sierra's pressure... Only to have the release halted because the non-English versions weren't translated yet. That was a pretty iffy excuse. The problem wasn't so much with the complexity of the ideas but rather the amount of people working on them or fine tuning the game. Arcanum was developed with a very small amount of people... I'm not sure of the exact number so any guesses would be just that; however it was a pretty small number of people and resources for a game with an included toolset and multiplayer capabilities.

I swear I saw "What is your favourite racist game?" as the thread's title. Needs some rest, this one does. In any case I haven't kept much up to date with racing games. The last games I played and owned were Virtua Racing (for the short-lived Sega 32X), Destruction Derby (for PSX) and Rally Championship (for PC). Though for what it's worth I tried out some Gran Turismo game recently and it was pretty fun.

What I wrote wasn't meant to depict how it went exactly, it was just poking at the thing. The main problem I have with the romance is that they both feel like extremes, ie, Rinoa always eager to please and just overall prancing around and chirping, and Squall who tells everyone to go talk to a wall and keeps mumbling to himself about why he should care about anything or anyone (he did this so many times I was actually surprised he started liking Rinoa).

Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!" Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!" Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!" Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!" Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!" Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!" Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!" Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!" Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: :: enters a coma :: Squall: "ZOMG I LOVE U!!" Rinoa: :: giggles and dances and kisses Squall :: Squall: "I don't care about you." Rinoa: "But you must!"

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura, and Temple of Elemental Evil: A Classic Greyhawk Adventure also spring to mind as overly long titles. Still, doesn't affect me.

I remember playing a session with this guy once. I beat him two out of eight games. Found it fun at the time but it was too much of an expensive hobby to keep it up. Still have some cards lying around though.

But some aspects of the internet can be more or less regulated, though. Restricting access or encrypting information comes to mind.

Petroleum is my high.

The smell of napalm in the morning... Scratch that. The smell of napalm dumped on unsuspecting vietnamese villages filled with sick children and elderly in the morning. Also, coffee, Lacoste and Kenzo perfumes, and a good aged Brie.

Not my favorite, but Morning Glory comics strangely has me coming back for more. It's way beyond being politically incorrect, it's sometimes shameful to just laugh at what they do.

It means 'line" (as in, "line up") in Italian and Portuguese.

There wouldn't be such an issue if technology was used moderately instead of trying to use all its blitz and glitz in every game coming out. You can still do what was done during the Fallout - Torment - Baldur's Gate era; developers just won't.

So the Earth likes grunge?

Dress as a fopish nobleman and randomly point and laugh at someone.

I'd like to see him prove that one. What exactly is there to rehearse or train in the game? It's not possible to have depictions of sexual intercourse between adults and children in The Sims 2. These people are as much of a bane to videogames as Frederic Wertham was to comics, and just like him they are idiots if they think codes or legislations will ever work.
