I think we need to remember development time and resources vs content and variety. Having small dedicated fans playing a small MMO is nice, but it takes an enormous amount of time and energy on the development side to keep the content fresh and interesting.


Therefor I see a danger in that having many micro games means having more "worlds" but less content in each world. Less content means less long standing interest in play. Once you've done the ten or so hours of play, you will move on to something else.

So if this is the case, why even develop it as an MMO, and just make a RPG with Multiple player internet access and perhaps an open source mod tool that the players can then create content, one notable RPG franchise did this and it was pretty popular.

As MMO's stand now, I have this experience anyway, with being in a Massive world, but my play experience is with a small dedicated group of players that I play with. The other players don't even need to be there for all the interaction we have with them, but without them, the game would fail because of economics.

Or Best Action Scene Ever?

Going to go see Inception for a second time. Because that's where I want to put my money, and also, because its the first movie in a LOOOONGGGG time that's made me want to see a movie twice.

Expendables and SP I can wait for Net FLIX

Also doesn't it seam strange that Obiwan and Yoda were training Luke to basically be an assassin? They constantly say, "You can't be a jedi unless you face Darth Vader!" Sure, they never say, "You must kill him!" But its heavily implied. And whenever Luke brings up some alternate way of dealing with him, like saving him, they get all... "OZ NOZ he will fail and all is lost!" or "Then the Empire has already PWND us!"

True he wasn't ready to face Darth Vader in Empire, but still I felt the pawn assassin routine constantly being pushed upon him. How light is that?

All these arguments about the balance of the force and how it plays out in the movies I disagree with because one of the major themes of Star Wars is you can't trust visions of the future.

Every time the Jedi, or the Sith attempt to "Foresee" something, they always get it wrong. Its a basic theme of miss trust in the skills of prediction, so of course there will be no "True" balance. And if there ever would be balance, it wouldn't happen in any way shape for form that they could predict let alone prophesize over.

Its a mcguffin. Its just a plot point used to hang the events of the movie on. If it were anything more than that, then Lucas FAILED MISERABLY at both describing it and then letting it play out to a logical conclusion. As we all know, the light side wins at the end as all the sith are dead and Luke is left alone to fend for himself.

If this isn't the answer he was looking for, if he had some deeper meaning, like mentioned that the sith were a cancer and by destroying them then the force is in balance, then he sure as heck didn't clue anyone EVER into it. In fact he made point after point after point that the Dark Side was equal to, if not greater than the power of the light. Over and over he pounded this fact into us. Never once is there mention that they are just a sickness to the force or anything similar.

Or if the two are equally powerful and the meaning of the films were about balance then, the films would end with Luke, Darth and the Emperor died leaving Leia untrained and ending the age of the force users. Or Luke would have to have both dark and light in his use as he goes off to live happy ever after.

However, from where I'm sitting, according to the movies, the light side wins, there is no balance, and the prophecy is just a mcguffin created solely for EP12&3 and has no place in Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, or Return of the Jedi.

In the DVD for Lord of the Rings "Return of the King" Peter Jackson mentions that one of the first effects they created was the skeleton ghosts for the Dead Army. Then a few months later Pirates of the Caribbean came out and there was talk about changing the effect because of the similarity to the skeleton pirates. But they didn't change it.

Can't believe no one has posted this yet.


"No," he said, "look, it's very, very simple ... all I want ... is a cup of tea. You are going to make one for me. Keep quiet and listen." And he sat.

He told the Nutri-Matic about India, he told it about China, he told it about Ceylon. He told it about broad leaves drying in the sun. He told it about silver teapots. He told it about summer afternoons on the lawn. He told it about putting in the milk before the tea so it wouldn't get scalded. He even told it (briefly) about the history of the East India Company.

"So that's it, is it?" said the Nutri-Matic when he had finished.

"Yes," said Arthur, "that is what I want."

"You want the taste of dried leaves in boiled water?"

"Er, yes. With milk."

"Squirted out of a cow?"

"Well, in a manner of speaking I suppose ..."

Needs more hero. Just, more hero. There are no Jaw dropping "OMG THEY DID THAT?" shots in this trailer.

Like with the Iron Man trailer, when it had the one glory shot of Iron Man flying with the sonic boom, I was like OMG COOLNESS! Sure it was just Iron Man flying by, but still, it was IRON MAN!

In this, I'm still just getting a guy running around a desert in hospital scrubs and a few uncomfortable shots of men in plastic.

I really need a "THEY DID IT!" shot. I really do. Something along the lines of this!




This is my fear
So far I'm seeing a combination of Ghost Rider movie, Daredevil movie and this..

Not as bad as that, but not as good as Iron Man.

I really need more to convince me.

After watching Superman Returns, (yeah bad movie just wanted a Superman fix) I got to thinking, does Superman keep a bit of Kryptonite for Medicinal purposes? I got this thought after the scene when the doctor tried to give him a shot and the needle broke. Heaven forbid someone should wound Superman to such a degree that he needs medical attention, but if he did need an opporation to stop internal bleeding, or some such, how does he have one?

Just a random thought.

Has there ever been a time where Superman recieved medical attention, and how did he get it?

I predict, Bullwinkle



Only without the star power.

Dan Aykroyd creeps me out

Nice Eye-line match in the animation, NOT!

Some of Yogi's facial expressions were on the mark, like when his rump was bouncing on the fence posts.

All in all I'll give it a creepy Meh,


P.s. I think Dan Aykroyd has webbed feet. Really I do. He creeps.

Is it me, or was that trailer 90% of just some blond guy running around a desert in hospital scrubs?

I'll have to watch it again for the cool.
