  1. I liked 3, although admittedly it was the weakest of the three.

    If 4's just a stand-alone tail, I see no reason it can't be good.

    Pillock? Britain is so weird.
    Some say that he is a tame racing driver, and he once lost a canoe on a beach in the northeast. All we know is, he's called the Stig.

    Looks that way.

    It's disappointing when this sort of thing happens.
  4. Hmmm... I haven't noticed this myself.

    Most of the Vigilante mission I've seen have been about destroying the problem at the root, rather than dealing with the problem itself.

    "Gang attacks building" the Vigilante response seems to be to kill the guy who ordered the attack, rather than stopping the attack itself.

    But maybe I just haven't seen the ones you're referring too.

    Ha, that's great.
  6. Seems interesting.

    I'm not bothered about changing the way the show airs, they already changed it from the traditional when they brought it back.
  7. My opinion: I haven't hated this whole Red Hulk business. I've just been a bit... meh... on it. I just wish the Hulk had actually been in it y'know.

    Having said that, his return was pretty cool though.

    So... yeah.
  8. Interesting...

    I find the no pupils thing creepy though... and slightly confusing since the zombie had some...

    There's also the fact that he's been established as an actual force of nature, a being that NEEDS to exist as per the "laws" of the universe along with such other being as Death and Eternity.
    Basically, he's just doing what he was created to do. He's no more evil or villainous than any other force of nature.

    Surely the Reaper doesn't kill, he just reaps the souls of the already dead.
  11. Where does his 'stash go when he's Red Hulk?

    And why does it return when he reverts?
  12. I Superdickery safe these days? At one point I was getting a virus warning from it (probably from an ad). That was over a year ago though.
  13. In fact, I think the best outcome would be for the Wardens and Responsible Loyalists to form an alliance.
  14. Oh I dunno, I think if people put as much effort into making up hidden meanings in Portal as they do for books and film, they could come with all sorts of alternate interpretations.
  15. Whoa... I agree with Solos.

    I still think Portal is worth exploring though, simply because of the fantastic writing and atmosphere. But you're right, other games have delved into the concepts much deeper.

    So... books, music and film aren't thought provoking because they have linear narratives?

    Sorry, the world doesn't work that way. You don't blame the police for the dictatorship.

    If they allow the dictatorship to continue, it's only because they are saving the lives of people the Resistance are trying to kill.

  19. He really likes that half asian-man half Spider-Man face thing. (yes, that's a reference to something... fappo!)

    After they've killed thousands, destroyed Praetoria's infrastructure, police force and the like, what'll be left is a hull of a city. Barely enough food or water, no power (power stations are a target for blowing up after all) no police force, no hospitals (all blown up) no nothing really.
    There'll be riots, gangs will rule the streets. I expect that the Resistance will soon fall apart in a power struggle between it's two factions. Of course, the Syndicate will also be trying to gain more power during this time too.

    I expect Praetoria will be more like the Rogue Isles if the Resistance ever win, except even worse.

    Among toher things, Tyrant's govenrment does the following:

    Drugs the citizens to be docile and unquestioning

    Enslaves all young psychic girls and destroys them in the Seer network

    Imprisons anyone who speaks out against the dictatorship

    Carries out mass murder on a daily basis

    Has thought police on almost every street corner

    Opens fire on protesters

    Has torture chambers under the police buildings

    Controls the media and education system

    Makes critics or anyone who tries to tell the truth about the government "disappear"

    Plans to invade Primal Earth with the intntion of wiping outn every single superpowered person there and enslaving the rest.

    All loyalists enable this utterly evil system to continue to exist, and are guilty of supporting the worst examples of evil so far seen in the game.
    Supporting the Resistance replaces those problems with other problems just as bad with the added problem that no one will get to live in peace.

    Cole is actually the lesser of two evils because he actually gives something back for all that he takes. The Resistance, not so much.
