Reveilled

I'd definitely like to play as Han Solo. :cool: Sorry, I couldn't resist. :D

Nintendo for certain, and maybe a 360, depending on how the Backwards compatibility finally ends up working. I need my Zelda fix.

Paxman is a legend in his own time; he brooks no fillibustering form politicians who are schooled in the art of answering the question you wanted the interviewer to ask, rather than the one they asked (a political philosophy that surfaced in the 80s). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You mean that pre-1980s, politicians gave straight answers? I don't believe it.

I know this will hurt an old fanboi's heart, but.. Doom 3 isn't like the original Doom's at all! The first 15 minutes of the game are superb. Great storytelling, lots of interesting characters you want to meet again and get to know, even interesting backgrounds (and a playable arcade!) and then all hell breaks loose and it seems the game just got even better. BUT (that's a big but) from there on it's (almost) all downhill. You'll get a few scares, but since all the scares in the game are almost exactly the same you'll figure them out after a few minutes (unless you are a goldfish). After that they become tedious and predictable. Then prepare for exactly the same darkness, exactly the same spawn patterns (you'll see what I mean when you play the game), exactly the same corridors, exactly the same enemies and exactly the same weapons until you reach the end levels (where the game picked up some speed again). When I reviewed it, I gave it 79/100, but in retrospect I feel that rating might have been a tad too high. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That sounds exactly how I remember Doom 1 being, except that Doom 1 didn't have any interesting characters or any scares...

What about these 17,000 scientists?

Hmm, that

"Thank you for saving me, Mario!" *Princess kisses Mario* *Fade to black* *Credits Roll* Fading to black and rolling the credits works fine if you do it right. "

Last Train, by Travis It really blows all other angry songs out of the water. Compared to a guy singing about shooting everyone and then coming for the person in particular he hates in a low whisper over an accoustic guitar, most of this nu metal emo stuff sounds pretty cheery by comparison. Cuz when you sing about killing people, doing it in a really calm voice makes it sound a whole lot more like you're really farking pissed off than electric guitars and screaming ever could. :cool:

Well, it won't make them happy. I don't know if any technological advance has ever really altered the relationship between rich and poor. And I'm optimistic that in societies where social cohesion is still considered important, even though it may be under threat, many of the benefits of genetic engineering will be widely available to most people. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> EasyGene! :D No frills Genetic Engineering for all!

How dare you sir! How dare you! I challenge you to a duel! Of the fisticuffs! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Verrah good, sir! I assume you are familiar with the Marques of Queensberry ru--OH MY, WHAT IS THAT OVER YON HILL? *runs away* You have underestimated my physical cowardice, sir, and that shall be your downfall! I shall defeat you, Wheel-Man, but it shall have to wait until next issue!

Not against Cosmic Spider-man you inept ape of a human being. P.S. I believe the best Bond also potrays Indiana's dad, so I must say, is this a father against son tournament? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cosmic Spider-Man is...what's the word I'm looking for...oh yeah, teh suxx0rs. Batman pwns j00, f00. :ph34r:

Bah. Bane just got lucky. I mean, Batman must've kicked the crap out of Superman about a hundred times by now, so Batman could whup anyone. At least, anyone who wasn't Bane.

The answer is obvious. Batman swoops in and kicks both their asses. That's always the answer, because Batman always wins. Duh. :ph34r:

Why? God doesn't have to have come from nothing. In fact, if you look at the older polytheistic reliigons, you find that most of the gods have parents. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where did the parents come from? If everything is related that means god made the world the parents made god. The parents had to start from somewhere or their parents or their parent parents etc... Can you see where this is going. If things had to start from nowhere then why can't we be where it started. Maybe god just being playing sims on his PC. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is not inconcieveable. After all, what is the Universe but a really good version of The Sims? They even reviewed Real Life as an MMORPG on Gamespot once (it got a 9.6). In fact, for all we know, whatever Deities may or may not have created us may have gods of their own which they worship. Who knows?

I thought you could also get a darwin award if you survived but lost the ability to use your reproductive organs...maybe if they got badly burned downstairs?

I think you are taking the traits of some religions and applying it to all religions. This strikes me as rather like taking Stalinism and applying it to all political beliefs. True, many of the major organised religions are like this, but it is not fair to take the actions of, say, some Christians and apply that to all other religions, or even to all Christians. Is this the fault of Religion, that some people use it as an excuse? If we were living at the turn of the last century, our security concerns would be over Anarchist terrorists, rather than Islamic ones. Would it have been fair then to blame Atheism for the Anarchist Militants? Can we blame Stalin on Atheism? To blame such killings on the ideology the killer claims to profess is, in my opinion, tantamount to accepting his excuse. To say "Person X killed a thousand people for his religion" is to ignore the all too much more likely statement that "Person X killed a thousand people because he was an evil person." Do you believe that minus religion, people wouldn't have found some other reason to mass murder other people? Hitler wasn't Religion's fault, it was Hitler's fault. Similarly, Stalin wasn't Atheism's fault, it was Stalin's fault.

I'm not sure I do.

Why would a more powerful being have to have created the creator? I don't think my mother is more powerful than I am. Why would the Deity's creator be more powerful than it is?

The idea that a deity created us does not conflict with Evolution. The Theory of Evolution only explains how life developed once it existed. What it doesn't explain is how life first popped into existence. There's nothing to say that the process which caused life to come about in the first place was not performed by some superbeing, nor is it inconcieveable that said superbeing guided Evolution to produce mankind.

Well, obviously, the fight would be a draw, until Batman (who having trained as a Ninja has REAL ULTIMATE POWER) swooped in, flip out, and cut off both of their heads. Why? Just because he can!

Yes, but Ben Stiller had to convince the producers that it was a real name (otherwise they were afraid of legal action due to the obvious similarity with the other word and the blatant attempt to circumvent good taste and the censors). They were able to find a butcher with last name Focker (I think he may have resided in Canadia), so the film went ahead. As for Gaylord, that is a strange one, although there was a Galen at my school, poor guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Was his last name Bayle? :D

Oh, well, in that case, It was constructive criticism.

I was really laughing hard at the ALLCAPSCREATIONIST! That was hilarious; invoking the second law of thermodynamics and -- of all things -- the Coriolis effect to "prove" that the universe reqiures a god to explain it ...! (That can't be a serious argument, surely?) ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was particularly disappointed that the thread was closed before I got to ask for the chapter and verse of the part of the Bible where it predicted Israel would be set up again. I'd be really impressed if there's a part where it says "And the Lord did look upon his people, and say verily unto them. I tellest thou, people of Israel, that after much crappy stuff doth happen to ye, and are killed in thy millions by the people calledeth the Nazi, ye shall make thy state anew on the fourteenth of the month of May, in the year of 1948, as a result of yon mandate from the being known as the league of all nations. Rejoiceth! And lo, the people did rejoiceth."

It does. It is also the british equivalent of calling someone a jerk, which I'd guess is also derived from the phrase "jerking off", making the comparison all the more appropriate.
