remove it, even SUGGEST IT and ill PULL OFF YOUR LEGS.
im fairly certain the data input types all over the world use it in their POP/SOP modules too.
It's all about the universe. Copying the plot of a film is rather silly if you ask me; it is utterly restrictive for the player.
I think Enter the Matrix (while a fairly average game) at least tackled the movie license problem with the right toolbox. In fact it did rather a nice thing and cross linked the plots.
I agree, the game was otherwise instantly forgettable, but I respect the effort it made.
Bottom line- can the universe from the film exist properly without the plot? I think with LOTR and Matrix, you can see why the answer is 'no'. They are too intertwined, too neat, too discrete. By contrast, Star Trek and Star wars are a big, fertile mess.
I suppose I see the issue the other way around:
Universe licenses are a superset of movie licenses.
So stop producing doomed games guys:P
My laptop runs out of power, and there's enough energy stuck to my buttocks to launch a space shuttle.
Bottom line: (giggles...)
Eat less, save money, buy more batteries.
I think it's entirely logical and consistant with the delusion systems (sry, "belief systems") that Earth would be at the centre of the CREATION of the universe, don't you think?;)
I've found the best way to tackle spam is to always give out an email address that reflects the sender.
For ex. i don't really trust Singlepoint very much (UK telco dealer, very very baaaad & part of the evil Caldwell group). 'My' email address as far as they are concerned is singlepoint@mydomain.com
If they send me garbage, I just block mail to that address.
Downside is that any rare babies are chucked out with the ocean of bathwater. Remember though, the 80/20 rule is your friend:)
Erm.. this is obviously no good if your main mailbox is @hotmail, but then you probably shouldn't be allowed to use the tinopener nevermind the computer.
It becomes increasingly apparent to me that first contact will go something likes this:
"Welcome to Earth"
"Nice one. Thanks, really." [Whispers to adjacent green blob, "OK, stand down the megadeath lasers"].
"So, what can we people of America.. whoops, 'Earth' do for you?" [90% of the human race watching the historical event squirms with disgust]
"Well, it appears that you chaps have been exploiting the process known to you as 'respiration'. I'm afraid we patented this approximately 7 billion years ago. You owe us a rather inconveniently large stack of cash... in fact your mathematics aren't sufficiently advanced to describe it. Oh, and in fact we need a word with SCO too..."

this is true :)

Not so sure this is accurate, there's plenty of cars using veggie oil. The downside is that it smells like a chipshop after the first half mile.
