LMAO!! Nice April Fool's gag

LOL!!! Thanks Tac, I needed that.

I went to see this last night. I had NO clue that it was this violent. I guess I should've known, since Robert Rodriguez was involved. I remember how violent and unwatchable (to others like me) the second Blade movie was, compared to the watchable first and third installments. Anyway, I made it through to the part where Marv completely dismembers Kevin. Thats when I left, went to the bathroom to throw water on my face and leave. I didn't make it. I collapsed in the bathroom and was apparently out for six minutes. When I came to, mens room patrons, an usher and a manager were standing over me asking if I was alright, should they call an ambulance etc. After drinking some water, regaining my composure etc, I got a ride home. I later had someone return to the theatre to retrieve my X3. In all my years of having PTSD, I have never - ever - passed out. This is a first. I guess I got old. Anyway, for what I saw of the movie, I'd give it a 10/10. If you like ultra violence, film noir and one of the best comic-to-movie adaptations ever commited to film, go see this. If your stomach can't take the violence - trust me - you do NOT want to see the movie. And whatever you do, don't take the missus or the kids. I mention this because there were kids screaming in the theatre and most families up and left. LOTR was a violent movie in most aspects; but like most movies where the directors have a wider audience in mind, the ultra violence is left to your imagination and not graphically depicted. wtf is the matter with Robert Rodriguez? I mean, seriously. Sure the graphic novels were violent, but that is to be expected and is lot less visual than film. Oh yeah, everything Scriv wrote in his review, is pure rubbish. The movie was well done, hence the reason I even stayed past the first ultra violent part which took place less than twenty minutes into the movie. I mean, once Marv equiped himself with a hatchet, it was all over. Watching Mickey Rourke play Marv, brought back memories of how Pulp Fiction brought John Travolta back from the brink. Mickey pulls a stellar performance in depicting pure brute. I simply cannot imagine anyone else in this role; not even Ron Pearlman. I hope that this is his comeback movie. I always liked him and look forward to seeing him in the upcoming Domino.

LOL!! Best April Fool's joke evar!!

Ebola, I can agree with that. Read about it here.

Scriv, yeah, we're all totally and utterly shocked that you didn't like it.

LMAO!! I took one look at the thread and realized that Tac ressurected it. Then I braced myself for the worst April Fool's day prank/joke of my life. Well, it was April Fools because my birthday is not until 04-04. heh Seriously though, thanks for remembering. You guys are simply the best. Yeah, we've come a long, long way since the days of BC3K. Sheesh, six games later, me being 42 and feeling like I'm still 30.

Yeah. Also, I was reading on TV Guide that one cast member will die in the two part miniseries; now we know who bites the bullet.

OK great, I'll change the subject of your post and make it a sticky.

Sorry about the accident, you know things wouldnt be the same without your acid tongue. Sorry about the ride too, but....DUDE YOU"RE KILLING ME! That Car? You are KILLING ME! As you know from previous posts, I am quite jealous of you. My wife thinks youre hot and THAT CAR!...NOT FAIR! Since I have bought several of your games I feel I am entitled to part of that car. My estimations indicate I paid for the knob on the sound system, so pony up and send it to Pittsburgh post haste! All kidding aside I hope you are feelng better and know that your crew around the world have you in our prayers (those of us who do pray) ROTFLMAO!!! Yeah, that SLK350 is really quick. As Josh Holloway from LOST (according to the recent issue of TV Guide, he recently leased one. Same Iridium Silver color as mine), the car is like a bullet. I mean, 0-60 in 5.4 secs! Anyway, the accident has hampered my progress on UCAWA because I can no longer sit for long periods of time without having pains. I'm going to therapy five times a week now. To the extent that this morning Dreamcatcher and I decided to defer a few (three actually) features to a subsequent patch. This way, we can go Gold on 04-15 as planned and ship the game on schedule. I will elaborate on which (inconsequential) features didn't make the cut in my upcoming development blog which I intend to write this weekend for publishing on Monday.

Read the manual. What the AP does is well documented. When in doubt, why not just try it?

ALL keyboards have a minus key. This has nothing to do with languages. If you press the minus key on any kind of keyboard, it sends the same scan code. If this was the case, other foreign players (including Germans), would be having the same problem as you. Anyway, let us know how it goes.

Voodoo 3? Are you kidding me?

And the plot thickens

Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, last man standing is one of my fun scripts. btw, those escorts are firing because you are firing and standing in the line of fire. Its called friendly fire.

quote: Originally posted by DeepFreeze: Well, let me just say this. I have a couple friends (of both genders) who have tried meeting people online. And EVERY SINGLE ONE has been a complete whacko. I can't think of 1 person I know who had gotten something good out of it. It's just a bad idea. Actually I know of quite a few people who met online and who are either happy or married. In fact, I have no less than three industry buddies who met their partners online. My younger brother who works for an aircraft manufacturer as a programmer, met his current girlfriend online. They were down here this past weekend visiting us and they're quite happy. He is 30; she is 24. They met on match.com If I wasn't a public figure and happily tied to the ol' ball and chain, I'd probably search for someone online as well; since I don't go to clubs or places where you'd even think of looking for a partner. No, church doesn't count. Not to mention the fact that my social skills are as good as expired milk. Nothing wrong with online dating; you just have to excercise due diligence as you would in normal life.

My stance on this is that I'm not siding with Michael. Its just ludicrous that he won't just turn the woman over to her parents. I simply do not understand this. I mean, its not like he has anything at stake. I heard somewhere that he was offered $10m to turn her over and he refused. I mean, $10m?!?! Is he insane or am I just missing something here? Its not like he stands to gain anything by her death. Or does he?

A solar system or 2 and a handfull of ships/vehicles, some missions and free roam and multiplayer for up to 4 people duking it out on the couch. I'm just wondering if you woke up from your dream yet. Yeah, thats what I want to know.

Democrats need not look. Its pretty cool I thought.

Did anyone actually buy Tribes Vengeance? Anyway, you can read the article over here.

OK, so who didn't see this coming? I love my TiVo, but I'm not so sure that I'm going to keep loving it if I find that my living room has been invaded by the same crap I have to evade on my desktop. How long before ReplayTV follows suit?

Now that wasn't a nice thing to say, was it? Kindly show more respect for dead - and respected - people.
