Economic value to whom? Certainly not the rest of the world who don't play these games. Keep this crap out of the courts unless the game itself was hacked, but then you would be charged with being a hacker and not making Eulric The Uber lose his "Warhammer +20 x30 to goats"
I've certianly been spoiled by this game... after dismal launches such as SWG, Shadowbane. Playing a game that has already been tested and stablized in other market I don't think I could go back to a game just starting fresh. Not having to worry about the tons of missed bugs, people whining about class balance, server outages and what not.
OOhh i got flamed by an anon coward. Not a prude either its just a trend in there games as of late. Tifa, Yuffie, Riku, Yuna(x-2) and now this heroine with ass huggers. I don;t know about you but if I was battling evil it wouldn't be in spandex ass pants.
From what I recall you don;t respawn in America's Army.. you die.. your dead until that round is over. So you don't want to die because its boring as hell.
You should play the game first before making a witty reply.
I spend 8 hours a day doing repeatative tasks and answering questions just so I can get that next paycheck fix. I am missing out on my life and friends and hobbies because of this addictions. But I know I can beat this addiction.... and once it is gone I can live my life and spend more of my free time playing video games.
after reading the Romero script I am glad they didn't use it. They already have the story of Chris and Jill in the mansion.. it was the video game.. there was no need to redo that story.
While the actual resident evil movie could have been much better.. at least it didn't retell the first story.
"I like Anime, but you can't seriously say that their characters are more complex than those of all American films. There are a whole slew of US films (think of Denzel Washington films) that have fully fleshed out characters. There are an awful lot of one-dimensional characters in Anime... the best of each genre have fully developed characters. I will agree that one of the Japanese stock characters is the Honerable bad guy, but that does not make them deep characters"
So true, both genres have good and bad.. unfortunately for anime they have alot of bad cliches that keep reappearing.. (see the bishi evil villian.)
I think thats more of the way japanese story telling is compared to american writers..
the Japanese are more willing to let the reader or watcher fill in the blanks themselves instead of plunking down everything little thing like american writers.
If you want more of the GITS i suggest checking out this anime series. It takes place in a different timeline where Mokoto Kusangi never encountered the Puppet Master.
It has been fansubbed by a few groups and I believe it is licensed for US release as well.
They did institute a new rule that the Simpsons, or any other non-news show on Fox, could not use an onscreen information scroll lest the audience become confused and think it was actual news.
The hosts and the reviewers (if you can even call them that) are trying too hard to be hip and actually excited about these games that they are reviewing.. so excited in fact it comes off as being really forced and annoying.. for another example of "annoying" check out any N-gage paper ad.
This is not the first foray into the 3d world for the francise.. The castlevania on the n64 was the first to break that wall.... will unfortunately poor results (imo)
I hardly call KOF 2000 and Metal Slug "CRAZY JAPANESE games" in fact the only one out of the list he provided would be Goemon.. which has been released twice on the SNES and N64 (Legend of the Mystical Ninja)
For some games having your friends playing multiplayer at the house is great. Sports games fit this the best.. but lets same you want to play a FPS with your friends.. and you have the 4 person split screen.... hmmmmm or an RTS with a split screen(well here comes the zerg rush!)
alot of the allure of online gaming is lost.. You don't know what the other person is doing.
Now both the comic and movie came out in 1990 obviously the movie was longer in development as well Dark Horse had scored those franchises in the late 1980's perhaps there was a colleration between Darkhorse and the film studio to mix the two together. Do we know which was released first.. was the comic or the movie first to hit the shelves?
Back when I was playing EQ we had a married couple in our guild.. great pair to play with.. Kajira was the wives name. They where both bikers and gamers.. they eventually showed us there website with photos of themselves.. including black and white nude photos of Kajira in leather fetish gear.
Needless to say her woodelf avatar had nothing on the real person.

Mini Skirts for teh win!!!!111
I can picture final fantasy 30 right now... XXX
They have multiple people giving there two bits about the games. Each reviewer has various game genres that they like and dislike..
The guy who loves FPSs is going to review a RPG alot different than the guy who loves RPGs.
The personal angle shouldn't be removed from reviewing but it definately should take the backseat to the actual game play aspects.
wow did he get a trophy?
I think the poster forgot the "Stuff that matters" part.

As for Audition.. Miike is just weird.
considering you can get the entire series in fandub I would say the C&D weren't entirely successful.
Christ.. why did I think project.. must be the crank I am smoking..
anyways great series..

So wouldn't that apply to Fox News as well?

If this actually gets made i'll expect to see it in the bargin bin next to a copy of Celebrity Deathmatch.

actually there was a 4 part comic book series Of Alien vs Predator put out by darkhorse comic which came before any of the games.
on whether or not a goddamn movie will ever come out.
You gotta respect Romero for getting into the boys club and proving that even a woman can be successful in the video game developers world.
