But where did you get the carrot?

Man I coulda sworn I saw the game drop to 15 fps in some areas, not good! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You obviously need better hardware, then, Bok.

It's apples and oranges, though, even by Nintendo's own marketing: they aren't interested in the "Next Gen" market; they are aiming to get new converts into the gaming world: opening a new market (which, presumably, gives them a bunch of loyal advocates).

This reminds me of why immortality would be a difficult prospect ... it won't be many years until some of the more extreme wishes expressed in this thread would be an albatross around their necks ...

It's good that developers have the most meagre of computer technology, as it helps keep the games use less resources.

Extra-terrestrial object crash lands in/near North Korea; PC is an operative sent there to investigate (cue lots of politically-correct violence against the eeeeevil North Koreans, who have got to the crashsite first); then the object triggers some environmental event whereby the world starts to freeze, from the crashsite out (cue lots of politically-correct violence against aliens). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sounds like War of the Worlds meets Ice Age. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't remember the North Koreans in Ice Age and War of the Worlds ...

Yes it wouldbe lovely if psychopathic meglomaniacs kept their word of honour, ... like, say, Hitler and the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with Stalin. "

You were talking about "illegal wars" which is like talking about the immorality of a preying mantis killing a spider.

So there are nighttime bombardments, then? Cool.

Ok, now this has potential. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I'm not even interested in the graphics (though it's a nice bonus).

You got pwnd!

Well, the tv series was on when I was younger, and The Incredible Hulk was my favourite comic (along with Iron Man: I still remember the look on the customs official's face when I took my entire collection through the checkpoint at Moscow :D ); so it only makes sense that I took an active interest in such details. Extra-terrestrial object crash lands in/near North Korea; PC is an operative sent there to investigate (cue lots of politically-correct violence against the eeeeevil North Koreans, who have got to the crashsite first); then the object triggers some environmental event whereby the world starts to freeze, from the crashsite out (cue lots of politically-correct violence against aliens).

Let's not let the casual public reader to Obsidian's commercial website think that anyone here would condone anything even remotely shady: I'm sure you were talking about buying music via the traditional methods, CD, DVD, etc.

Twins! So we have time, place and a confession ... :D

T3 was just a cynical G-rated expansion of the original R plot, via the M-rated Cameron kerching of T2.

Garbage. Kofi Annan couldn't even make the Sudanese government stop their Janjaweed genocidal attacks in the Darfur. Let alone tell China to get out of Tibet. The UN has no authority, besides that which is given to it by the countries of the world. And that is nothing. I say again, there is no such thing as an "illegal war". Talk all you want about ethics and morals, but the legal "arena" is a combative one.

I don't like it.

You could ride dragons in community mods in NwN.

It's not gay: it's an archetype.

It's not one for one. If the US didn't retaliate against al-Quaeda, it would be a starter's pistol telling every nutjob to attack the US without fear of retaliation.

Sheesh, I'm going to have to stop typing on my lap, if all these typos are going to keep causing such a disruption in the fora. :D

Surprising, to me: I saw the first one in the cinema (when I was in high-school) and it literally launched Arnie's career (he'd made a couple of films before, but nothing that left a mark). The plot alone is almost perfect; add to that some excellent characters and great performances ... it was just a B-movie, and (after Cameron was finished with the sequel) they actually had to remaster the sound of the original from Monaural!

I knew that. :">

You think there was a Terminator film that was worse?

Those are good points: the industry is nowhere near as claustrophobic as it was back in Betamax days ... but unit costs are always going to sway manufacturers.
