    What? Why?
  2. "I think kids have seen those."

    It was a bit low cut, but it's hardly obscene. Kids go to the beach all the time and there's far more flesh on display there.
  3. I'd say good bye but I'll still see you on Unleashed

    This.

    Well, if they didn't want political commentary they shouldn't have made a game with overtones of political commentary
  6. If you kill everyone, Tyrant is still in charge. It might be a charged wasteland, but I don't think it'll bother him for too long.

    And you don't see anything wrong with making that decision for others?

    Better than being full-way dead. I can recover from one, but not the other.

    So, you're okay with making that choice for everyone else? I know I'd rather be alive that dead, just because some others would rather I be dead than alive so they can spit in the face of some guy.
  9. I consider the original arcs to be "sort of canon". Like the Stargate movie. It's "sort of" canon to the TV series, in that something similar clearly happened, but not exactly.
  10. So... is this meant to be in Marvel movie continuity? Because that certainly seemed like movie Iron Man, especially since the voice actor was doing his best Robert Downey Jr. impression

    I never get when people say this about Goku... he's had is fair share of losses and stalemates.

    Looking at Z only, he got killed fighting Raditz, defeated Vegeta with a ton of help, trashed the Ginyu squad and only managed to defeat Frieza by going Super Saiyan. He then got ill and didn't really fight again until Cell, whom he admitted was stronger than him and ended up dying while Gohan won the battle. Up against Buu he was outclassed and he knew it, and only defeated him by using a move that draws a small bit of energy from every living thing, not through his actual strength.

    Sorry, went off on a bit of a tangent there.

    I dunno, Hyde was actually nasty, Hulk's just misunderstood (in most iterations). Not to say that there isn't parallel of course.

    I think it's closer to Frankenstein in that a Doctor creates their "beast" through their own hubris, and even though the monster isn't evil, everyone still wants to kill it, including it's creator.
  13. There's also the other thing, it appeals to power fantasies. Who, really hasn't as some pointed wanted to go "Forget this!" Hulk out and beat the tar out of someone that really deserves it?

There aren't Primal Earth Rikti or Praetorian Earth Rikti, just Rikti. If they wanna stick to that canon then there shouldnt be a Primal Infernal and a Praetorian Infernal, since he isn't a native to either dimension.
    No, they could be Rikti from an alternate dimension to the Rikti we know. Alternate dimensions allow for more than one dimension filled with Rikti, just like there is more than one dimension filled with humans.

    Yeah, but when your product costs next to nothing, you don't need much of an audience.

    I bet there'll be plenty of people who will buy this, just so they can watch the cutscenes whenever they want.

    Well, we'll just disagree then

    I think Granny Weatherwax is great, so full of, for lack of a better term, righteous indignation.

    Ignore this. While Equal Rites is one of the early books, and thus Pratchett was still finding his feet in the stories, I've just finished reading Wyrd Sisters and enjoyed it quite a bit.

    But if these are game cut scenes, surely the game itself will pay for that as they currently are? Bundling them all together won't cost all that much.

    Bleeding Ulcer?

    Get well soon man. Keep us apprised of your situation.
  20. Price point is too high, but for people like me who can't get to grips with RTS games, it's kinda interesting.

    Get that down to $10-$15 and we're talking.

    Poser?

    I thought we were going to be talking about a 3D modelling tool...

    And no, no one will care if it's not alienware inside...

    Look at the movie poster. The composition. Then the tag line.

    Nuff said.
    I'm literally crying with laughter here... it's like... NOBODY checks these things...

    Noms for nerds!

    The 7 of 9 one cracked me up.

    Also, you butchered your image tag
  24. 52 was great. And this is from someone who doesn't really read DC comics.
