I think the most accurate line I've heard concerning our status is a world power is "America may not be perfect, but it's better than any other country is existence."
I love guys like you. Completely removed from the world and bitching about the evil ways of your country. I would love for you to see how some people live and them come back and we'll see if you still have problems with the way we run things.
Before you decide to save the earth from your country, try cleaning out the half-truths and misconceptions that swim around wildly in your head.
I vividly remember that one about Cthulu. I was highly impressed with the way the camera angles and walk sequences were set up..wonder if I could still find it..
I love getting into completely hypothetical discussions like the one you had. Honestly, I feel they are great mind-expanders. Arguing religion with someone is an incredibly fun thing to do, because both sides have such strong cases.
As for this issue, I agree with you. People need to recognize this isn't about taking away your civil liberties, it's about making sure you don't get flown into a building. Some people take stands on every little thing(and so loud...)and they just need to choose thier battles a little more wisely. It's fairly plain to see that anyone who argues against these new laws would change their tune pretty quickly if a loved one died do to violence because the law became relaxed in the future.
I remember the glove. I remember how much it sucked. The funniest thing was the fact that it had a controller on it, and since you need two hands to play, one wouldn't be in the glove, making it nothing more than a really cool version of a regular controller. I also remember that EVERYONE bought it for Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Now it sits next to my NES Track and Field pad and that weird gyro robot guy.
Man I miss the NES days. Zelda, ExciteBike, throwing your controller through a window because you just fucked up the Top Gun carrier landing for the 750th time.
One thing that always gets me is that it seems more and more people are more willing to tolerate bad acting and plot than they are bad special effects. People will often whine more about an awful looking space attack sequence, for example, than they do countless bad performances in the same movie.
Do you think that your section of movie-making has become more of a backbone than it should be, and furthermore, do you feel that you should be held to the same standards and levels of criticism that acting and story are held to? If you choose to recognize your craft as art, I would say you're in for a much harder ride than if you choose to look at it as a science.
I think I'll just wait until next week. That document makes it sound like any other week of the year root passwords are given to the first 100 people through the door.
Well I didn't mean the type of piracy where you warez your friends copy of Neverwinter Nights, I meant piracy like swashbuckling and pludering dabloons.......matey.
This entire thing smacks of children playing pirates on the open seas, it's kind of funny.
As for the logistics of it, where does their pipe come ashore? Somewhere in the world that line has to meet another line goverened by a country with stricter laws, which seems to me would end everything right there.
I agree, but the review is correct about his poor translation skills. You wrote this book about this one space battle about these Zig guys that's just awful.
I know the guy that mooned Bill Gates during his keynote a few years back at Comdex. They've got a great shot of it somewhere, I should try to find it.
Their might be some logic in this

RIAA to Sue You Now

· Score: 2, Interesting
Not wanting to get into a moral debate on this issue, I can say I do understand where the RIAA is coming from with this way of thinking. I recently read somewhere that it's believed that 90% of all files that flow through a p2p program come from the same 50 or so individuals. I wish I could remember the link but apparently they found some guy using kazaa that had roughly 600 gigs of divx quality bootleg movies on his computer.

Somewhere a Delorean reached 88 miles an hour to get this story to us.

They mixed and matched parts of lesser dorks to make you, didn't they? You're some type of Frankenstein-like, uber-dork.
Dork(robotic voice): I am a StormTrooper.
Triumph the Wonder Dog(robotic voice): You are a huge nerd.

Arrgh, so it's begone. The dolphins have come to take back the ocean, and only an old sea dog like myself can..ARRGGH!...
Dolphin: Look at me, I'm the Captain, Argh-Matey!
Dolphin's 2 and 3: Heh-heh.

Man, that Mac sure has come in handy in fighting off Totalitarianism over the past 18 years.

Ah man, it's all down the front of my shirt. Next time I'll read the manual first.

I..I um, I um..I believe you have my credit card.
Let's not get crazy, now.
Look out, they're ruffled!
Maybe you should learn to spell innocent, government, getting, and buying before you decide to hop into a political discussion.
Now we'll never know if ants can be trained to assort tiny screws in space.
That's a feature.

I found your comment raised an interesting point. Sucks you're getting a flamebait rating.
