Dance Dance Revolution (or whatever it's called in its various guises around the world) is EVUL. It is a TOOL OF THE DEVUL.

He's under a lot of pressure to get my mods finished.

Time for an intervension, I think. :ph34r:

He used his feet. (He had three of them.)

one I haven't been to for a while that is pretty good, but I would be reticent to call it the best ever

I saw a recent reconstruction, where the producer / creative-guy had a marine sharpshooter test the possibility under near-identical conditions. And he did it with his eyes closed and one hand tied behind his back. Go and look elsewhere for holes in the official explanation, there is definitely nothing to see here.

That's a mighty strong statement, even for the OE Way Off-Topic forum! What are you saying, that Shakespeare wasn't original? I don't think so. I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate!

:angry: *metadigital casts RESURECTION level 7* I just wanted to add an observation that I made whilst watching Episode III. (Look away now if you want to avoid spoilers.) In the film, a certain character has a prophetic vision. Now there has been much discussion on the Force, the visions it may deliver, and whether the Force is granting the ability to change the future (by granting prescience of the events and allowing for appropriate action to prevent them) or just the Cassandra-type curse of clairvoyance without power. Well, this vision, along with all the others over the entire sextilogy, including those of Luke in the original trilogy, Which is more evidence of its malevolent nature: it's waving its open hand at the Force-Sensitive whilst touching its nose with the thumb, and blowing a raspberry. Nasty Force. Kreia is the One True Prophet, and the First Great Matryr in the fight for Free Will!

It wasn't trash, I was making a valid point. This could be a certain someone's big chance to make a name for himself; I just wanted one of his friends to broach the idea in such a way that he would think it was his, and so not be embarassed ... oh, yeah, I see the problem ...

I thought that vision-world was psychotropic, not prescient.

And yet you sound so sure of yourself, youngling. And where's the fun in that?

Do not undererestimate the power of a good pitchshifter <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought it was a very sexist comment. What about castrati? Or even those pre-pubescent contralto or even alto voices ... ?

I thought the Neo-Smith scene was the best of the trilogy due to the major build-up -- Whereas the other fights didn't really have much at stake this one had A LOT-- the end of Zion, the end of the world, the end of the Matrix as we know it, revenge over the death of Trinity..etc. Ever since the end of the original movie, it represented the first time Smith was powerful enough to be able to stand toe-to-toe with Neo in battle. ... I think throwing buildings at each other and tearing cities to shreds would have been completely over-the-top. Where would NEO have gotten these powers all of a sudden? The Chosen One is powerful, yes, but I never got the slightest hint in any of the prequels that he would be able to throw skyscrapers around and destroy cities with but the slighest gesture. It would have made sense with Smith since the movie does explain that he was getting more and more powerful (he can clone himself endlessly!) but it would have required some extra justification for NEO. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I quoted before:

... Our ideal candidate has been the lead producer for an entire production cycle for at least one AAA game and is familiar with all aspects of the game creation. ... Requirements: Five or more years experience, including at least one shipped, internally developed, AAA title, as the "Senior" Producer on the title. Thorough experience in managing (20-60) person development teams from concept and pitch to post-release support. ... They could have saved themselves the bother of advertising this role on their website, methinks, and just direct mailed all the possible candidates.

Or, you could turn the volume up really, really loud and play some Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd or even some Industro-Punk-Trance-Metal-Grunge. That should blow the cobwebs out.

Is that like Hentai?

Nope, the new expansion Aftermath is Gordon (and Alyx, too) getting the fcuk out of Dodge: Half-Life 2: Aftermath is the expansion pack for HL2, last year's popular and acclaimed shooter. The expansion takes place right after the events in HL2, and you and Alyx will flee from City 17, fighting against creatures who were previous blocked from enetering the city. The Citadel you assaulted in HL2 is tumbling into chaos, and this event will have catastrophic effects on the surrounding area, prompting your escape. Secondary characters Alyx and Dog will have a much more significant role in this follow-up. Half Life 2: Aftermath, the first expansion pack for HL2 takes place after the happenings in Half Life 2. The game starts where HL2 left off, you got to escape from the city before it blows up. Get ready for another dose of Half Life 2 this summer, no tan for you. Oh, and the creatures aren't dead. GamePro gossip: ... Pushing the physics envelope a bit further, Aftermath also promises to add new abilities to the Gravity gun and a wider variety of puzzles. Details surrounding the game remain sketchy: Valve remains tight-lipped as to what new weapons or vehicles to expect from the game, if any. Abstract revelations aside, expect the game to nevertheless be a hit when its released. ... Look for it after the split with Vivendi is official: August 31, 2005. Three preview screenshots Incidentally, whilst perusing the Valve site, I found a bit of concept art: She's called a Female Assassin. She was probably was meant to be the Half-Life 2 equivalent to the flipping-out ninja-esque black ops of Counter-Strike, or does that mean Counter-Strke 2 is on it's way ...?

Oi! Careful, Or I'll sick Baley on you! Did you not witness Colin Baker's outfit and hairstyle? How much more 80s can you get? And the series degerated into a shallow reflection of its artistic roots ... zeitgeist.

A pair of shades that have a 480x320 3d (two images can be co-ordinated like those awful glasses) rendered image to super-impose on (or replace) the RL view, wireless earphones and some sort of input device (verbal, somatic, telepathic, etc, ... whatever). It's coming, you know it is ...
