EA Cranks Up Villainy For GoldenEye 'Sequel'
Thanks to Yahoo for reprinting an Electronic Arts press release officially announcing the first-person shooter GoldenEye: Rogue Agent for PS2/Xbox/GameCube, a title "being developed by EA's Los Angeles studio" (and clearly hoping to trade off the immense popularity or Rare's original GoldenEye FPS for Nintendo 64), with the new game featuring a plot that allegedly "breaks all the rules by transporting players to the dark side of the Bond universe to experience life as a high-rolling, cold-hearted villain." With screenshots not yet forthcoming, Eurogamer drills a little deeper into the previously rumored game's name, explaining: "The idea apparently is that Goldfinger is locked in a war with Dr. No for control of a massive criminal organisation... so then, you might be wondering, why is it called GoldenEye? Because, it says here, your nameless henchman lost an eye in an encounter with Dr. No, and Goldfinger's technicians replaced it with... a... golden... eye... Nice one, EA." Update: 05/05 23:38 GMT by S : GameSpot has a few more details on the title, which they note "revolves around run-and-gun action."
And who can forget that Tom Baker (that's Doctor Who to you and me) was one of the game's voices in Perfect Dark.
Actually the H2 is just a hummer made street legal
Absolutely incorrect. The AM General "H1" (a.k.a the original Hummer) already came in a street legal version. GM bought the rights to the "Hummer" name and then proceeded to take a Chevy Tahoe and put square body panels and fake plastic lift hooks on it and call that an "H2". The "Hummer H2" has absolutely nothing to do with the military HWWMV (Hummer) or the street legal version thereof. It is just GM selling an overproced SUV and cashing in on the name.
"Hemi" engines are called such as they have hemispherical combustion chamber...
I'm well aware. But look at Dodge's marketing - the ads with the truck towing the old Hemi 'Cuda and the guy asking "does that thing have a Hemi?". The way they are marketing the engine has nothing to do with cylinder profiles and everything to do with cashing in on brand recognition from a '60s muscle car.
Do you even know anything about perl? -- AC Replying to Tom Christiansen post.
This isn't where I found out about it, but Tom Baker's official website mentions it.

It seems like I found out at gallifreyone but I could be mistaken. Oh, and I never said the voice was decently acted.
