I want the nextgen consoles to have a standby or hibernate mode like a Windows box. I would no longer have to issue fatwas against game designers who put save points three hours apart.
Ah, so then Duke Nuke'em should have been a black, homosexual, vegetarian, married female eskimo.
I'm as white as they come, and I would totally buy that.
Hell, *my* inclination is to play characters that are as unlike me as I can get, or *make* them if it's a game with character customization. My XBox Live avatar doesn't look anything like me, and I change it periodically. I had a little mini-Obama wearing a derby for a while simply because it amused me to do so.
Here's my characters from the last eight games I played:
- An Asian female warrior with a big sword - A talking dog with an insane rabbit sidekick - A humanoid lizard - Half time tarantula/half time scorpion - A little burlap sack creature - A Mexican wrestler - A fuzzy, yellow cat-like alien with a robot sidekick - A gust of wind
Play along at home by guessing the eight games.:-)
Organised crime which led to murder on the streets of Westminster." (The murder was after one gang started taking the money from meters in another gang's "territory").
But that's one gang member killing another gang member. That's not so much a "crime" as a "service to the mankind."
Can they make the fraking camera more intelligent? The camera in Ninja Gaiden II killed that game for me. Whee! I get to fight while looking at my character through a fence/railing/screen!
They also have fresh "All-Sorts" licorice and regular licorice in about 2000 flavors. The first time I went there, I bumped into something, looked down, and beheld a wooden barrel filled with mini peanut butter cups. Then I saw the row of bins with 500 types of trail mix and snack mixes. About then I passed out from the emotional overload.
In those things you can finish every sidequest, beat every optional boss, find every item and anything else you can think of gameplay-wise, and still only have 150/1000 points. I remember Blue Dragon had achievements for getting each character to level 99, something I think I'd still be doing 18 months later if I attempted it.
No matter how silly the movie is, they'll at least get my money for sheer nostalgia.
MOVIE EXEC 1: (snorting coke from breast of hooker) See, Larry? Your whole idea about making good movies is pointless. Add some zombies to Tron Legacy and we're golden.
MOVIE EXEC 2: (snorting coke from other breast) Yeah, you're right, Bob. I'll get those other nostalgia movie projects greenlit.
MOVIE EXEC 1: Have them add more sparkles to the Twilight sequel. I totaled my Enzo last week and need another.
Someone being an agnostic does not mean they are also unsure about the separation of church and state. The founding fathers, who wrote the concept into the nation's documentation, were deists, not atheists. I know Christians who *hate* the mixing of religion and politics.
You cannot absolutely derive an individual's stance on church/state separation from their stance on theology.
The Zeus gambit: People can be agnostic of basic theological concepts, but be atheistic about Zeus sitting on Olympus. It's general agnosticism versus specific agnosticism. Most self describe agnostics are actually of the latter kind. When you venture into the absolutist realm of "If a person thinks X they must think Y" you need to review your position.
Personally, I'm an apatheist. It means I don't care if there is any sort of higher order, and I personally expand that in include not giving a gnat's fart what you or anyone else thinks about that. However, I stand firmly on the side of separation of church and state, and have been active on that front for many years.

In the 1970s we called that Model 455 AC.

Make a game where the heroes are black or some other minority and see how well that will do.
You mean like the gazillion selling GTA:San Andreas?
And, c'mon... how many times in the past ten years or more has the villain- in games, movies or TV- been the "Evil White Businessman" archetype?

A lot of gangsters reading Slashdot today?
Human beings are the alien probe!
Only in Soviet Russia.
And man, we had better start compiling that report that's due when Quetzalcoatl/Jesus/Osiris/Thoth/Viracocha
I think Xenu was the project manager on that one.

For those that don't know, that's the Islamic version of the anime Inuyasha about a young Muslim boy who dreams of becoming a full fledged djinn.

How about couples who are actually dating?
What has the world come to when we can't rely on our works of fiction for our facts! Oh, Discordia!

We're getting a Tron sequel, but still no Season 1 & 2 of Reboot on DVD. It's a crying shame, I tell you. :-(

Stupid fag. They always do that when talking specific version of a language. Now go back you jerking off over your pathetic Java code.
HOW DARE YOU!!!1!!
I've *never* programmed a single line of Java code!
Hmph!
No, we did it because we didn't want someone else to do it first.
All of manned spaceflight since then has been, "Umm... now what?"

Yes, well, that just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
