Why were the descendents looked down on for it? It's not like they chose to be created that way. Wonderful hate and intolerance being heaped on to people over something they had no control over. Great thing that.
As for the "do as I say not as I do" card there are plenty of examples from people claiming to be Christian (I doubt they are) and the problem is people who really are or call themselves because they offer lip service will follow these people into the gates of hell because they think this evil personis in touch with god and they feel good about them.
"I can see why it is a bigger problem for Christians than non-Christians. Non-Christians are simply absorbed into the sex-focused culture of our day, and don't see anything wrong with it. And frankly, that is their problem. I am not going to preach to a non-Christian about proper sexual viewpoints -- if they reject God anyway, what is the point? They might as well live like they want."
Sorry but this is total utter bullshit. Plenty of non christians are just as monogmous and against the "sex culture" as you. But if it make you feel all superior go on telling yourself you are special.
Not being up on international pr0n I must ask a question. I am vaguely familiar with the wide variety of what comes out of Japan but don't like most of it. I'm familiar with a variety of European output. What exactly is the reason you cite Brazil?
I think the pr0n the poster is having trouble with is stuff like what comes (sic) out of Ban Bros Productions and whoever make Collage Fuck Fest. The former often times behaves quite evilly, and treats women badly. The latter while most of the time filming public events sometimes engages in what I would classify as rape (unless they can prove they set it all up before hand).
Outside of all of this another problem that exists IMO is that everyone has different kinks and turn ons/offs. This makes finding pr0n that hits your buttons but does not contain any "ick factor" stuff quite difficult as you get farther from what is "mainstream" pr0n.
If you read up on it, it would appear Gore only wanted labeling. The group she hooked up with (PMRC or something) however wanted complete censorship. After they failed to agree on this issue they parted company and went in different directions.
Strange. I was using the same monitor as you, on a 1.5 GHZ (Athalon XP2000) machine using a Radeon 9600 Pro. I was sitting only about a foot away and had no issues.
Well what is the point? Check out todays WSJ and read the bit about the FDA and tuna. What chance do we have when there is clear as day proof and the FDA due to industry says it's unpossible.
"Maybe the game developers can make thier games a little less, oh I don't know, in-your-face about the violence and stuff? I mean, GTA was okay with that, but Manhunt? Manhunt, rockstar? Do we really need a game who's basis is to sneak up behind people and kill them in hideously ghastly ways?"
Did you even play the game?
Manhunt was a game where instead of a knight in shining armor, you are a anti-hero. For a film example of an anti-hero see the film Payback or even I suppose Kill Bill.
In Manhunt you are a convicted killer (It's been a while so I do not remember the details of the murder your character was involved in).
The game starts with your execution via lethal injection. You then wake up on a bed and are informed your execution was a sham set up my an insanely rich man who has a custom set of "playgrounds" he sets people like you in and then unleashes several groups of psycho killers (as well as his private security force) on you.
The rest of the game is set up as a kill or be killed play the man in charge, and he sometimes "livens" things up by giving you someone you have to keep alive while getting them through the level, or some other goal.
In one level your relatives has been kidnapped and turned over to the gang you are facing. Throughout the level you free them and tell them to run. In a later level, the man running the thing shows you a video of your relatives after you freed them being executed.
Part way through a reporter who thinks there is something fishy going on, manages to find you and you exchange information. During this level you and her are being hunted by a group of Police officers who are paid to take you out.
Finally you make it to the man's mansion and confront him. At the end you, a monster, kill a monster.
Games like this have been done before, and frankly manhunt isn't that big of a shocker, like any stealth game it has all the same elements. The main thing that makes if different from say splinter cell is the attacks are more violent (tho splinter cell has it's moments).
Ahh, I see what you are getting at. Considering the way the next generation is moving, it's a same there was not a kit for the Gamecube, then the skills one could develop would be more directly applicable.
Maybe the revolution (rumors about ease of development and Nintendo being more friendly) will have something like that for the hobby coder to use for learning. I know I wouldn't complain if a few coders put together some good small games. I'm thinking of Wartris for the PSX as an example.
I did not know they re-released it. What market? Outside of a few hobby coders, it does not help or add any feature the general market would use. IMO this puts it in behind the Xbox due to how much you can do with one once it's moded. I suppose a moded PS2 can use stuff made with the PS2 linux kit but I have not seen any huge homebrew movement yet. I guess people like you will put some stuff out but are still learning so I will give it more time. As a side note, I do not own an Xbox and do own a PS2.
I'm about to hit 32 (2 weeks) and I haev immense fun with my Gamecube and PS2. I think all you twenty somethings need to grow the hell up. It's not grade/high school anymore (even if the workplace/political environment seems like it).
Will all of us have HDTV (and by that I an not talking EDTV 640P) sets? Will game makers put out titles that actually use anything over ED 640P? Will any of the games put out at 1080I and 720P actually look much better then 640P? The reality of game releases rarely ever matches the maximum specs quoted about the technologies they run on.
"They do have an army of zealous brand-loyal fans the likes of which is only seen in Apple and Amiga communities. Sony and Microsoft don't exactly inspire warmth even from people who prefer their products."
Microsoft and Sony seem to have a just as large if not larger "army of zealous brand loyal fans the likes of which is only seen in Apple and Amiga Communities". Do you even read anything here or at other gaming sites? I'm not saying Nintendo does not have zealots, but for fucks sake take a look around at the insane Nintendo bashing fest that is/.
"Whether you like sports games, driving games, beat 'em ups, survival horrors, shooters"
The Gamecube has all of these kind of games. I will say not in the quantity the PS2 has, but the ones I bought for my Gamecube are quite fun.
I am not a big sports game player for example, I don't own any sports titles except some like Hot Shots Golf (PS1), Mario Golf, and Sega Soccer Slam for the Gamecube. I find myself preferring the not so serious sporting games on the Gamecube to the EA Sports type.
The software division may have made that kind of money, but the Xbox devision did not. If anything changes in the markets Microsoft is making money in, then the divisions who never make any money will be the first to suffer. You cant bank on always having billions of dollars to throw away year after year and expect shareholders to back up a money losing platform for ever.

It's not our fault you are a deviant who frequents alt.binaries.multimedia.erotica.animalsex.
It is entirely possible to seek and consume "normal" consenting sex via the internet.
The thing is most of us have kinks and fetishes that skew what we enjoy beyond "normal" sex.
Why were the descendents looked down on for it?

But thay had to consider the important topic of suggestive cheerleading (lol in Texas).
Anymore the whole state is all hat and no cattle.

Are you sure? Is there no action he could take that you fear? I mean like doing somthing that ruins a project.
Strange. I was using the same monitor as you, on a 1.5 GHZ (Athalon XP2000) machine using a Radeon 9600 Pro. I was sitting only about a foot away and had no issues.
I guess it depends onthe person playing.
Honestly, does shouting "Cisco IOS has a potential serious vulnerability" in a crowded conference room have the same effect on peoples safety?
Too much cynicism breeds non-action.
Well what is the point?
Check out todays WSJ and read the bit about the FDA and tuna. What chance do we have when there is clear as day proof and the FDA due to industry says it's unpossible.
Sorry, any hope I had for america died today via the Wall Stree Journal in it's coverage of Murcury, Tuna, FDA, and the fish lobby.
There is no such thing as and there will never be such a thing as "a digital Pearl Harbor".
But the game does have that information printed on the box. Maybe you need to go look at it.
"Maybe the game developers can make thier games a little less, oh I don't know, in-your-face about the violence and stuff? I mean, GTA was okay with that, but Manhunt? Manhunt, rockstar? Do we really need a game who's basis is to sneak up behind people and kill them in hideously ghastly ways?"

I even previewed that one.

What market?
Outside of a few hobby coders, it does not help or add any feature the general market would use. IMO this puts it in behind the Xbox due to how much you can do with one once it's moded. I suppose a moded PS2 can use stuff made with the PS2 linux kit but I have not seen any huge homebrew movement yet.

As a side note, I do not own an Xbox and do own a PS2.
No, Ultra PeePee is "just.... too.... cute!"
/. but superior Irken technology will triumph.

The only way she falls into the Genetically Engineered category is maybe the Metroid Fusion storyline.
