  1. Well make a new Pixar movie, or another film with animals and that funny face. Cars just feels like they wanted to do a spy movie, but not confident enough so rode it off into Cars. Ooorrrr because, as I remembered while writing last sentence, Cars is still one of their more commercially successful films in merchandising n branding so just want to keep it's name up. Kung Fu Panda I really liked, so maybe it's just a fan thing of not wanting the sequel to (inevitably) tarnish the first.
  2. I guess it does make me less annoyed at the Steam Forums not using your Steam ID account.
  3. I'll just note down the ones I agree on then add my own. Eurgh. People who throw all the guts away are ARGH. We put our PSone games in a CD holder thing, still kept the boxes in the cupboard. I kinda disagree on things being too easy stuff. If the "normal" plays like easy mode then they have a right to complain. Normal should challenge you time to time. Unless they'e someone who wants a challenge and should be playing all their games on Hard then yeah, hate on em. I think assumptions are healthy. Assumption without anything to back it up other than say "it's game type X, it'll suck" Can't say it pisses me off, I play on PC or PS3. Most folks on PS3 are quite, and most folks on PC are guys I know, or in general all "gg" The JRPG stuff is another thread of it's own. You're dislikes can generally be attributed to many other genres too. ARGH. Yeah I dislike folks who don't put stuff in the right cases. My housemate does it all the time. It's why I own KOTOR twice. heh, shogunistic I'm with Ethan, I don't see why we should be fine with sexism in games. I don't mind the term casual, it's a perfectly valid and quick to use description. It's the folks who misuse it and use it the same way others would use "leper" Pachter, now he's a guy who knows how the games press works. I don't think it's the gamers fault if the store uses crappy sticker glue. The celeb status of certain developers is just a reaction to the fact most devs are kept in the shadows and so anyone who comes out n chats n talks will get pushed up more by the media. It's mostly an issue with devs/pubs/media. They need to work on it a bit. Now for my list: Console gamers Lawyers EA employees People that don't play JRPGs facebook gamers nah only kidding People who only stick to one genre or gametype. Get out of your comfort zone a bit more. At least give the demo a shot from time to time. Might find something you like. And if you don't step out time to time, then STFU. People who take what the games press or PR tells them at face value. People who make gaming a kind of class war. Sneering on mobile phone gamers or facebook gamers and the like. So they don't play the same games as you? They're still gaming. People who will automatically dismiss any report or research paper that so much as suggests that gaming isn't good for you. It's a sedentary activity that can also expose you to a lot of violent action. It's not perfect. Oh and there's no known long term affects yet. People who carry on paying for XBL. People who carry on paying for XBL after it's price increase. People who from a particularly strong opinion and "knowledge" on a game without playing it due to one of their favourite writers having that opinion. Oh and refusing to ever play said game to actually back up their opinion. Because it was a bit off I thought I'd mention the Fallout 3 RPG thing here: I think it's because they're primarily a shooter fan, so it's the first "shooter" they've played with those elements. They'll probably only play New Vegas, Stalker and Borderlands. Oblivion, despite to us being pretty similar, probably wouldn't be their cup of tea.
  4. This movie is not needed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ftH73f3xg This too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htwiwtbnlqg Maybe
  5. Welcome back (of sorts). Should fit in fine. Playing many games isn't much of a pre-requisite. Plenty news passes through here these days. Cooking is always good.
  6. "it's just an issue inherent with PC as a platform." That pretty much implies that it's an issue and they can't help it. Thing is as Faiblesse pointed out, many devs seem to get along just fine. Anyway now for what I'm here for: http://kotaku.com/#!...risis/gallery/1 Stay classy kotaku. (Forum mushes up the URL, but think of the timing, you can guess the contents) (I'd wager it won't be the first one today)
  7. I can. My sister can, niomi can, by mum can, my dad I've never asked. My brother can't. We'd joked for years he was adopted, we don't so much now. My mum's too old to know what a "dominant allele" is and my brothers too retarded to understand. We're just kinda hoping it's a case of him not putting any effort into it.
  8. Just watched Episode 20 of series 10 of SG-1. Now for 2.5 series of SG-A and the now restarted 2nd half of SG:U (and the TV movies)
  9. Could be the hotlinked images themselves.
  10. Yeah if someone sticks a video in spoiler tags or quotes it goes funky. Not sure why since it's the same video.
  11. I'm pretty certain that's on Youtubes end. They've been fucking about with the embedded player quite a bit the last few months.
  12. Read this thread. http://www.reddit.co...s_left_to_live/ Srs, read it, at least a decent chunk before moving on. Now read this Oh wait kotaku related let's see who was in on this Actually also something else: http://kotaku.com/#!about/^masthead Joel Johnson, the guy who wrote that "fuck you commenters" rant on Gizmodo a while back is now "Editorial Director" at kotaku. I'd guess from the layout of the names he's Crecentes new boss.
  13. I recognise the name. Howdy.
  14. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/buyers-guide/2011/03/10/pc-hardware-buyer-s-guide-march-2011/1 Might as well share if any folks are wanting to look at current parts.
  15. 2GB's of DDR2 RAM and a 1TB HDD.
  16. Either? Where else is it not coming? America
  17. I'm playing Pokemon Pearl atm. I restarted since I was like 4 gyms in and totally lost. I'm upto my 2nd and a half gym.
  18. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/43422/NGP-to-hit-Europe-this-year Supposedly NGP is coming to Europe 11.11.11 That could be a very very expensive day
  19. I'm 99.9% sure your statistic is made up. In what aspect? I'm pretty certain of my belief, and you didn't state on the contrary that you're not 99.9% sure on the existence of a god. That's something I've never seen proven. Well they do surveys on it. If you're lying about being christian then you're either not very sure of it or you're not a very good christian to be lying. (Oh and I'm being very naughty and throwing in agnostics with that there. I should of put both in) Anywho iirc it's about 10% are Christian, then another 10% or so with other religions and the rest are atheist or agnostic. Well this is an entirely different topic but I'm up for discussing at a later date. Maybe at the Maldives. Sensible guy.
  20. Yeah it's the soap opera element that appeals to me. These guys were gods and revelled in it. Whereas christian god was like all benevolent n shit until he's flooding the world or turning your wife into salt. But it's for your own good. Zeus n co were asses and made no qualms about it. He'd go down as a white bull and make off with your missus. His daughter started life cleaving an axe through her fathers head, then went on to turn one womans hair into snakes. His wife is probably the origin of "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". And his brother reared a three headed dog. They're the definitive dysfunctional family.
  21. My French is rusty too, and my Spanish non existent. Though as WTF said, cities are feminine. Most things are iirc. Either way, Noir is the style, Noire/Noir is the colour. And I don't think they were wanting Black L.A
  22. Pipe up if you want a better or more appropriate thread title.
  23. I've not got II, but I've got all but Winter Assault in the first DoW. It's a good game. I've not played in the longest time though.
