    The tube room never failed me make me feel sick after about 5 minutes.

  2. Re:Price Point on Blockbuster Sued Over Late Fees Claim · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's a lot of raging censorship discussion going around on the innerweb about a movie that was made in 1995(?) having 2 minutes of scenes cut out of the vhs release at blockbuster almost 10 years ago, besides this one. Google away though.

    The Family Video near me includes the extras cds. But they also break seasons down into individual dvds rather than a couple or the entire thing. To this day I haven't seen the first two episodes of Band of Brothers thanks to some prick in Muskegon MI who wouldn't return the disk.

    That's not true. Just proclaiming that don't doesn't make it so. After seeing Blacksheep in a theatre, we rented it, only to have several small sections with dirtier jokes cut. There was no warning on the box. They might not do it now, but they certainly have a history of doing it in the past.

    You have to love the Return to Castle Wolfenstein players that used a slow pc as an excuse to turn their details down so low they could see through fog and trees.

    I'm willing to bet that the average game player, who reads the ocassional magazine, and plays his console a few times a week, thinks this is a good idea.

    It's refreshing to see the fighters be able to rotate while continuing to move forward in space. The dog fights are done well imo.

    I'm sure if supermodel Cylon woman didn't refer to god five times and episode, people would still be watching it, and this would still be here. Call it a hunch...

    I believe they were/are trying to artsy by doing that constantly. I think it's cool in space, but not on the ships.

    They can be good if they are done correctly. Having robots make intentionally vague psuedo-religious statements ala Matrix Reloaded is not the correct way imho.

    Being in the U.S. I agree with you 100%. My jaw dropped.

  14. Re:OS X makes Windows look bad on Windows Longhorn Beta for June Release · · Score: 1
    I would certainly think so, because OS X shows people what can be done with computers -- it shows them that viruses, trojans, and other malware aren't acts of God, but a preventable result of bad technology; that computers don't have to crash; that drag'n drop can do so much more; that Plug and Play can be more than an empty marketing slogan; and finally that computers can actually look cool
    It's really worth a virus writer's time to try to infect 2% of computers. This is a tired argument. Of course windows gets hit with more of them. It's like aiming for an apple with arrow, or aiming for house, which is easier to hit?

    I'm not saying it should be nothing but special effects, but it would be cool to see more stuff happen in space than the 3 seconds of it they show in the credits as clips from the episode.

    That's a difficult trick jump that I've never made without using a grenade on myself as I jumped. It's from the exit to the tunnels along the side of the level. I've made it twice with the grenade. Check here for videos of it.

    Name one Brad Pitt movie where he fires a bazooka or goes after "Muslim Terrorists" please.

    I hope they don't take too hard of a look. Entire episodes revolving around the most minute details as an excuse to avoid using any special effects at all kill me. It's a LOT less exciting than the miniseries was imo.

    Then comes the entire the religious robots thing. I wanted to like it so much...

    The tricky part is getting onto the roof behind an unknowing axis before that door closes. An alternative is to plant all 10 of your teams mine's by the far side of the depo, then waiting for your bar to charge and planting at the defenses. If you get lucky the mines will protect your plant long enough for you to get into the dump.

  25. Re:"Enemy Territory" best game ever! on Enemy Territory Fortress Mod Arrives · · Score: 1

    It's entirely possible to enter the fuel dump without trickjumps or covert oper or even grenades. Who needs them when you can just stand outside of the door and wait for a nice axis to open the door so you can run in? No shots required.
