  1. City of Heroes and my brief comments... on A Review of "The Incredibles" · · Score: 1

    Did anyone feel like playing City of Heroes from this movie?

    I posted my brief review and comments on my AQFL Web Site.

    And guys, see it on DLP format if you can!

  2. DOH!! I wasn't supposed to post that! on Humor in Games? · · Score: 1

    That is incomplete. :P See post for the correct one.

    Remind me to sleep. ;)

  3. Agreed. Some quotes as examples... on Humor in Games? · · Score: 3, Informative
    Both No One Lives Forever and its sequel (not Contract Jack) made me laugh a lot. The dialogs, cutscenes, etc.

    WARNING: SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAMES!!

    Examples:
    1. "Are you insulting my monkey?!" --a moroccan civilians line"
    2. "Do not be apprehensive about this apprehension!" --the HARM guards in Morroco
    3. Cate: "Spare yourself the suffering and you might walk out of here with clean underpants."
      Harm Guard: "Too late for that!"
    4. Cate: Who is your favorite historical character?
      Baron Dumas: Hmm...I would have to say....er....Beowulf.
      Cate: Ah... I was thinking of historical rather than fictional individuals.
      Baron Dumas: Beowulf is a historal character.
      Cate: You mean the Beowulf who slew Grendel and is mother?
      Baron Dumas: Ah, yes: thats the one.
      Cate: He's a FICTIONAL character.
      Baron Dumas: YES, I know that, but there was also an HISTORICAL one.
      Cate: The Beowulf who fought the dragon?
      Baron Dumas: Indeed.
      Cate: But there AREN'T any dragons. Unless you count the dinosaurs of course, but there weren't any of those wondering around during the time that Beowulf WOULD have lived, had he been a REAL person instead of a fictional one.
      Baron Dumas: Are you quite sure?
      Cate: Yes.
      Baron Dumas: I see...
    5. Funny scenes with the HARM's director keeps getting nagged by his mother thru the entire NOLF2 game.
    6. "Bend over and kiss yer potatahs goodbye!" --combat taunts
    7. Two words: Human cubes
    8. Many more funny scenes in this thread.

      Thanks to NOLF Girl for a lot of these. ;)

    If it is the same one in the playable demo, then yeah it was cool!

  7. Re:Introduction Cutscene! on WoW Street Date Announced · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Yep! Funny. :)

  8. Introduction Cutscene! on WoW Street Date Announced · · Score: 4, Informative

    WOW!

    Blue's News has links for the awesome introduction cutscene (DivX from World of Warcraft game. Also, FileShack (registration required; free or subscription required) has it. It is about 46.5 MB; AVI; 2 minutes and 49 seconds long).

    Apple has this introduction cutscene in QuickTime format (non-saveable) as well.

    The introduction was almost like watching The Lords of the Rings movies. Amazing! I can't wait for the free open beta! :)

  9. Re:Open Beta is going to be awefully short then! on WoW Street Date Announced · · Score: 1

    Heh, Blizzard did that for Diablo 2 beta, test, or something. I think it ended before the day of the release.

  10. Native resolution and price... on Are LCD Displays Ready For Gaming? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't like how I cannot use other resolutions than its native resolution. The image looks weird especially with pixels. I also don't want those black sides. I use resolutions from 800x600 to 1280x1024 depending on games.

    Price is another issue especially for a high quality LCD monitor. I am still sticking with CRTs for now.

    Democracy is founded on one simple rule
    Get out there and vote or I'm a mutha f****** kill you (yeah)

    I like it when you vote bitch
    shake them t**** when you vote bitch
    I'll shove a jimmy through your mouth root
    Now get your big ass in the valet booth

    I said vote bitch,
    or I'ma gonna mutha f****** kill you

    Vote or Die, mutha f***, mutha f***, Vote Or Die

    Can't run from a .38, go ahead and try
    let your opinion be heard,
    you gotta make a choice
    Cuz after I slit your throat,
    you won't have a f****** voice

    Vote Or Die, Vote Or Die!

    Puff Daddy: Haven't you heard of my campaign 'Vote or Die'?
    Stan: What does that mean, anyway?

    Puff Daddy: What you think it means!

    Stan: So my vote didn't matter after all?
