As an Irishman, I don't know how anyone can drink Guinness. I see tourists ordering it with their breakfast sometimes here (granted that will be a breakfast at 12 that looks more like a bucket of greese with a few sausages thrown in) and I feel like getting sick when I see it! Give me a Bulmers any day of the week and no one has formed a better way to store that than in a pint bottle.
Good to see that University of Limerick students are hard at work though!
A friend of mine linked me to this article the other day. Really interesting and true from my experience as well although I will say this though. Its written by the makers of okcupid and is written to suggest you should sign up there
If you had read the next sentence its probably not versus, its more likely a comment the duality of man, capable of both extraordinary acts of kindness and evil. The unusual thing with Mass Effect compared with every film which has explored the same theme, is that you make the choice, you can then see the effects of your actions and if that way inclined you can see what would have happened had you done something different.
Both Mass Effect games are available for PC. Most people who are interested in games or at least are open to the concept of games will either have a PC or one console which will play 90% of games out there. Those who are unwilling to invest 30+ hours which a game requires usually don't make the same excuse to not watch a TV series which by the end of 2 seasons has usually clocked up more hours than it takes to complete a game.
Your third point I accept, there maybe those who simply can't play computer games, but by the same token there are films which have story lines which are too complex for some people but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be made. However I would be very surprised if you couldn't adapt to even the easiest setting on the game.
Come on, the wii is casual gaming. Casual gaming is not the same as what would be considered "hardcore". No one is talking about making a film out of Wii Sports or Farmville or any of the other games which are well and truly casual gaming. We're talking about Mass Effect, we're talking about Resident Evil, we're talking about House of Dead we're talking about the other million and one games which a majority of people in the world simply will not play.
Because right or wrong, there are a large amount of people who wont play a computer game because its too "nerd like". This is when marketing execs see golden opportunity. Not only will you get most of the fans of the game to see it at least once, you'll probably get the people who wouldn't have touched a game with a barge poll.
In my mind respect is only one part of the equation worth exploring. Understanding of the game becomes another. Mass Effect may have been about shooting Geth, driving the Mako and using biotics but there was an underlying theme of good versus evil within the character. Perhaps not even versus, both Paragon and Renegade are a part of Shepard, problem is you can't introduce choice into a film and therefore can't communicate it as well as you can in a game. Another issue is whether you have Shepard as a man or a woman. Jennifer Hale was by far the better voice actor and I would find a real female lead a far more interesting story than another bland bloke. The fact that she was a woman wasn't exploited for sexual purposes in ME, it just so happened she was a woman. But you know that wouldn't be how hollywood would do it.
The article says that judging by the IMDB page, its set during the first contact war, so they wouldn't be having to ruin everyones Shepard on them if they did make the film.
Incidently the website linked to was down for me so here is a link to a google cache of it
Except the fact that the poster who you replied to is not anonymous and you simply chose to troll this person randomly.
You constantly create different accounts using the same name and then troll for all your worth.
In relation to Dottie, she would be a good candidate but she isn't "respected by third graders nationwide". I'm afraid that you wont find anyone who fits your requirements if you limit yourself to that particular demographic
I'm afraid quoting George Carlin isn't relevant to me. This attitude of "I didn't vote, so I'm not responsible for who gets elected" is complete BS. You are just as responsible for the people who voted for them because you are a part of the silent majority qho sits around on the hole all the time and is annoyed by who actually gets elected. Get up off your hole and vote who you think is the best candidate, if you don't like your options get involved and perhaps even run yourself. But this attitude of "I'm above all that" is pie the sky at best and dangerous at worst
Its a little easy to bypass is it not. Simply change it to an IP address and you should be able to access it. Even if one person figures it out, everyone in the company will know how to bypass it within a month tops
Are you denying rising need for additional security in our ever expanding interconnected world? In the era when more than ever before, a persons personal data is stored on dozens of different, independent sources each one of them has to be secure and if its not you may as well have no security any where. Then you need to actively monitor it for ensured protection against the latest threats. This is no snake oil that is being sold, this is as much requirement for business as accountants, HR and physical security.
I grant you that some companies out there are selling products that are being labeled as all in one software packages which provide "security out of the box", which we all know are farce, but I find these to be no more prevalent than any other sector.

Whatever you give me, give it to me in a pint bottle!
I'm not a fan of beer in general. Hence Bulmers when I order
Not the stuff in Ireland, brewed at James Gate in Dublin. Still tastes like piss water to me, but yeah
I find you being offended by me offensive.
Boom boom!!! :P
