  1. Re:In the US no one wants to buy light cars on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: -1, Troll

    I carpool to work every day, in my tiny 93 accord, and in my experience the ONLY times I have been close to an accident have been with cyclists, not sports cars, not sedans, not minivans, not even SUV drivers.

    Mostly because they are just blissfully unaware of the fact that they disrupt the flow of traffic, and are impossible to pass on some roads. However, since cyclists are so damned convinced there going to be on the next tour de France, they have got to train on every major road and fuck everyone else who needs to get somewhere.

    Fuck cyclists, cyclists are moving roadblocks, plain and simple. If you have one, I think you deserve the death penalty. Mod me troll for that, but its the truth, you simply don't deserve to live.

    Because criticizing a perfect European car or the enlightened people who drive them is unacceptable.

    Not to mention its the only game I've ever played where a corp i was in 2 years ago still prevents other corps from letting me join.

    They really weren't kidding when they told me it was the last corp I'd ever join.

    Reserved for PVP? There are areas that are essentially reserved for dedicated solo players, and organized groups. No area is reserved for PVP.

    PVP goes where ever the hell players are willing to lose ships.

    Eve does provide "carebears" a place to go, and rewards pvp's and miners/indies for working together.

    I think that is why it has worked.

    ummm

    You pretty much just described eve. Except you don't loose all the skills that took you 2 years of constant training(Assuming your clone level is high enough and you remembered to install a new one last time you died).

    Who can forget shit like the guy who just bought himself a shiny new carrier decked it out in faction mods, undocked and before he could use the jump drive to get to a friendly system, a recon ship pops a cyno and 20 enemy caps jump in and he gets locked down to far from the station to redock. These guys then offer to ransom his ship, he pays them then they kill him anyways and pod him, steal everything he dropped then jump out all before the guys buddies can even arrive and save his ass.

    Or the time when a hot shit merc group decided to attack a small corp with big friends, there pitiful 30 man faction fitted sniper fleet gets a a few dictor bubbles dropped on it, suddenly they are trapped as a few carriers jump in along with a 50 many battleship fleet with 30 or 40 support ships tears their ships to pieces while they cry. They then scream about blobing and how the game is rigged against them.

    And stuff like the massive sov fights that last 4 or 5 hours, each side regrouping and fighting again in front of 10 different moons or planets all throughout a single system, or some of the big 400+ fights that resulted in capital ship graveyards.

    Or the time I sat on a gate for 4 hours waiting for a single kill that was worth risking my ship over. Or sitting in a one enemy home system for a week, getting to be such a part of the local scenery that after awhile no one paid any attention. Then killing 4 or 5 miners before they get organized, then starting the process over again.

    While I'll agree that there is a good chance most of the games on that list will be pure shit.

    The only issue with NG2 that I have seen is the camera. Its typically been give reviews in the 80 to 90 range. Besides being a bit of a retread of all the other 3d NG games, it a fun game.

    I'm also fairly certain you have no idea why Igitaki left that company.

  12. Good voice actors are great and all on Video Game Actors Say They Don't Get Their Due · · Score: 1

    But if I remember correctly this guy got paid something like $1000 for a single day of recording.

    Yes, good voice acting does help make a character better, yes it can be a hard job depending on what they need you to do, and yes I'm pretty sure there was a ton of dialog to record for the game.

    But he makes just as much money as some folks for 1/3 or even 1/4 of the amount of time actually spent in the "office". He can probably do work on multiple projects too.

    No, Anons stated goal is the exposure/downfall of Scientology as a business. More specifically the church itself and the Religious technology center.

    They don't really give a damn if you want to believe in the bullshit. They just don't like how people have to pay to get to see the bullshit.
