"Who knew demons were capable of such stealth and chicanery?" I did. I don't think the author has much experience with real demons. Wouldn't one expect a little stealth and chicanery from an extra-dimensional being? I mean, the fangs and claws are just the parts of it that happen to land in the easily-perceptible parts of the EM spectrum. Demons fuck with you. It's what they are. Extradimensional beings that fuck with us.
I wonder what could cause a person to suddenly flip out for no reason and kill a bunch of people they have loved their entire life.
That terrible framerate was, IMO, the only strike against an otherwise perfect game. Single-player was really superb. Multi-player was ok, but not as smooth as Goldeneye.
Take this how you will. This is a log of a chat I had with a buddy of mine. "Jimmy" is our buddy who worked on BF2.
carbonite says, "i also got confirmation from a non-Jimmy ea employee"
carbonite says, "that the only reason you ahve to enter all that data to get a gamespy id is because of the ranking system"
carbonite says, "because in the full version, you gain rank in offical EA servers. Non-EA sanctioned servers (say, ours), the ranking would be meaningless."
That's nothing! I was reading the newspaper today... The local honor roll list. Some loving parents named their daughter Shiteria Nachelle Pissdale. Shiteria!?! WTF do you call her for short? Gee forever! I could hardly believe it. Man, I think I might just kill my parents in their sleep over something like that. Someone at the hospital shoulda intervened. I'm in eastern NC, FWIW.
Well, really, I feel about the same as you do, but at the time I posted that, no one else had posted anything about EPIC. I just recently stumbled on to it, so maybe I'm late to the party, but I thought perhaps some others out there hadn't seen it yet either.
I agree that EPIC pretty much exists today, but just because you and I realize it, doesn't mean the rest of the crowd has. Things like the EPIC animation, while they seem overly dreary & dystopic, do serve a purpose in that by exaggerating current trends, it calls attention to the way things really are/might be.
Most of us are just sleepwalking throught the day anyway. I don't mind an EPIC-like doom&gloom to give me pause from time to time.
Jules: We should have shotguns for this kind of deal.
Vincent: How many up there?
Jules: Three or four.
Vincent: That's countin' our ap?
Jules: Not sure.
Vincent: So that means there could be up to five aps up there?
Jules: It's possible.
Vincent: We should have fuckin' shotguns.

I would think so... Choose you faction, (Slashbot, Elitist IT Douchebag, Mod on Crack, Troll, Lurker, Normal Human, etc) and set out on a quest for Excellent Karma. Along the way you make friends and foes that can help or hinder you as you strive to the goal. Then, once you reach lvl 50, the endgame really sucks... It's just like the 49 other levels, only you have no goal and can't advance any further. At this point you must choose to stay as a benevolent lvl 50 user and get into managing your resources (journal entries, subscriptions), or succumb to the call of darkness and start using your levels to terrorize your foes, both real and imagined.

I'd watch what I said about these really nice people, if I were you. :)
Thank you, sir, very much.
Can someone tell me what the two-headed, club wielding icon for this story is? I've wondered for years. TY

You misspelled "womyn."

Then shut your pie-hole! P.S. Howdy neigbor!

Looks like you have to register with IGN and GameSpy to play online. Forget it. Yall have fun. I'll be playing DC with $50 still in my pocket.
And I guess beyond that is Half Life?
As long as they drop the MHz on the Intel chips, this could be a definite contender in the over-priced/underpower market.

Think about it, dude. I'd say the translation's spot-on.

Yeah, you get no special powers, but you just don't give a shit. :D
