Maybe they'll get around to adjusting their policy of selling me the last "new" copy of a game that has been opened, and passed around the employees, even has finger prints and smudges on the disc, and they still charge me full price for a new copy.
Looking back now, and not considering it being overshadowed by it's sequel, I thought the original Dune game on the Amiga was pretty cool for it's time. It was really two games in one. The adventure-type part where you would travel to the sietches in ornithopters, talk to so-and-so, and then the pseudo-strategic part where you would communicate telepathically with the Fremen, manage their spice production, fight the Harkonnen, etc... unless I'm confusing it with something else. I would even boot it up just to watch the intro and listen to the music, long after I'd finished playing the game... but then again I'm weird like that.
Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks. This shark, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin', down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.
In the tutorial of Ultima IX, , if you turned on the television in the Avatar's house, you would be treated to a looping sound clip of the EA Sports slogan, much to your delight. "E - A - Sports, it's in the game!". Also, if you booted the Avatar's PC, you would see a "coming soon" screen for Ultima Online 2 (which, of course never saw the light of day). Although, after seeing what a fine, fine product Ultima IX turned out to be, the plugs didn't really matter.
I play female characters in EQ. People are more apt to pay adequately for things, they're generally nicer to you, easier to get into groups.. so what if I'm not really female? I'm also not really a giant lizard that walks on it's hind legs and does kung fu.
Wow. You must have fond childhood memories of watching Nova and The MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour...because watching oversexualized minors bounce along on MTV has absolutely nothing to do with rampant consumerism..
>One, when dealing with companies, (similar to Microsoft) people unite to call them evil, as opposed to countries where there is usually a significant amount of people who disagree. That means that people can get away with saying it without much flaimbaiting, whereas with a country much flaimbait is likely to ensue.
Ah.. so it's only ok to disagree when everyone else also disagrees. Ok, posting something that goes against the opinions of the majority of the readers of the board would appear to be flamebait, but that doesn't mean someone doesn't have a right to voice an opinion on the matter, despite whatever controversy ensues. Suppress the dissention? I hope you never run for public office.
>Two, Disney affects everyone here, countries usually do not.
This seems like an ignorant statement to make. Situations in other countries don't affect everyone here? Did you already forget Sept. 11? I guess you're the person they make all those bumper stickers for.
P.S. I'm not sure which aspects of your life you let Disney control, but I usually make an effort to not support or patronize Disney in any way.
..because at least they could use the weapons to keep the reapers at bay. Better than wandering down into those sewers with nothing at all. Although, I wish they would have slathered Scud up with those pheromones and dropped him down a storm drain.

I'm starvin' ... Earl, we got any clotted cream back there?
I second that. Also, how about a dual/touch screen port of Ultima VII:TBG? Poor Iolo and Shamino must be looking for work..
Indeed he is, Mr. Torrance. A very willful troll. A rather naughty troll, if I may be so bold, sir.

Why is this modded funny? It's true!
Also one of my favorites. Just last week, I finally picked up the dvd version at Best Buy for $5.99. Well worth it.
I assume there will still be an extra fee for subscribing to the "premium" Opie and Anthony channel starting in October.. hmph
