Call of Cthulhu also has one of the easiest game skill mechanics to get behind. Your skill is rated from 1 to 100. You have to roll under that number on 1D100 to succeed in a skill test. Easy as pie, and it's easier to introduce a roleplay |\|00b to that mechanic than it is the various open-ending target number material in other game systems.
Remember those sea platforms that drill for oil? We are going to use them, but not to drill for oil Set up wind turbines, solar cells, and tidal power generators. You've got three ways to generate electricity, all from clean ol' mother earth, that don't pollute.
If the need is increased, build more platforms.
We also need to build more engines that can be powered by cooking oil, as the earlier slashdot article showed us.
The student's argument only has merit if the University is selling the degree for the money. However, this is not the case.
Sadly, many schools are now giving grades out and it has become standard for graduate schools to request appraisals of the student's performance based on percentiles and other vague terms.
This grade inflation is yet another part of the American educational system in need of strong reform.
You couldn't turn on a TV, couldn't listen to the radio, couldn't go to any other movie without seeing a huge line of people waiting to get in and seeing it again.
There was even a terrible, terrible attempt to cash in on Star Wars around Christmas time called The Star Wars Holiday Special. Get a copy of it at a sci-fi con and you'll see that Yes Virginia, there is a Great Cthulhu. And he loathes you.
Lose the whiny Anakin from episode II and replace him with someone who can act.
No Jar Jar. At all.
Less GGI and more models. They look better anyway.
Let the guy who made the Clone Wars animated series direct the movie. He can probably do a decent job with live action. If he put in more of the samurai-movie action material he had in Samurai Jack, the movie might actually be entertaining.
A big problem also has to do with the huge emphasis on graphics.
Yeah, they're nice. They certainly add a lot to the Silent Hill series.
They aren't the end all and be all, though. Good gameplay (in the form of an interactive story with multiple endings and plot twists or lots of levels with fun action) is also important as well. La Pucelle and Disgaea look like they came out for the PS1 or Saturn, but they are wonderful games that I can't recommend highly enough.

Do you remember what happened to that kid playing Phantoma (Lain reference)?
It's not just guts, it's the incredible amount of poisons in the environment. That, combined with lousy parenting, a lack of discipline, a terrible economy with jobs moving offshore, and climactic shift, mean that the future is not going to be that great.
Video games play a much lesser role in the degeneration of society than the media would have us think.
Bring back some classic 2D platform games, like castlevania, megaman, sonic, and ninja gaiden. Those kinds of games were free from camera angle problems and were a blast to play.

I just wish they'd make a printer that would last longer than 5 months before refusing to work entirely.
Regardless, this is pretty intrusive on the FBI's part. Even though it isn't a blatant intrusion into our private lines located within our home, it may as well be, since our direct line to the internet for 99.9% of the population runs through commercial ISP's. I hope someone cries foul on this proposal in support for the protection of privacy. However, with the state of most American's line of thinking, such a hope is far-fetched.
I agree, and I'm sorry for the "me too" post. Sometimes it seems like people are unable to view potential consequences for their actions or the consequences of not acting.
Really, after the climactic shift occurs in less than 20 years, the nukes will be flying and worrying about who is popular or not will not make a lick of difference.

I haven't seen anything that makes me want to buy his updated releases. I think I'll buy the original movies on DVD at a science fiction convention.

The Xbox is one of the most innovative consoles to ever hit the market. First and foremost, it's the first console to ever include a hard drive.
What about the Sega Saturn?
Also, memory cards allow you to bring your game and continue at someone else's house. You don't have to take the entire console with you.

It'll force people to cheer up and also get a lot of money in the meantime.

Try this.

As much as I love Silent Hill, I think it'd be even better when the monsters come out of the screen.

Why not just make the movies directly from the game using the cut scenes and footage of expert player gameplay.
They had something like that in the House of the Dead movie.
Now we can finally make Blair Witch Project 3: the Quickening.

I agree with you; I despise FPS. I enjoy 3rd person and 2D side-scrollers so much more.
Another big problem with many games is the plot, or lack thereof.

Every invention of the 20th century has been in some way related to sex.
Cars. Drive off somewhere to get sex, or have sex in a private portable room.
Phones. Call people, arrange to meet them. Have sex.
TVs. Watch people having sex. Boobs, too.
VCRs. See TVs.
Internet. Watch people having sex. Contact people around the world in order to meet and have sex with them. Also, look at porn.
DVDs. See VCRs, only with multiple camera angles for Matrix-style camerawork during porn scenes.
