Hurrah, yes you are right. I'm a big fan of good environment design. Everyone that said there wasn't enough story in HL2 missed something: the backstory is in the environment.

Oh, by the way, they did use the word frak in the original BSG. True dat.

Heheh. Yes, very Dark Place. FOx wouldn't buy it though would they? It's central premise is irony.

I found it mildly amusing. I hasn't bothered me overly so far, although I'm quite far behind on season 2. I think most of the really serious moments don't use it too much. It's more the light hearted "man I'm pissed" types of angry moments.

He just said - it's the consistency. Up to now they have avoided it, now they change their mind. It's not really about the swearing. It could have been if they suddenly changed the way they pronounced the name of the world, or the colour of orc skin.

I've heard that it's getting good reviews (or something). SO maybe it's a whole lot better than th trailers make it look.

Strange confluences with Bicentennial Man

Yes. Yes they would.

You can tell when a blog has made it big when parodies of it start springing up, or blogs about the blog (sub-blogs?)

Anthropomorphing (!) something includes projecting human thought processes and emotions onto to something non human. Like fish, or Rusalka (runs and hides).

Hello there Defanual. Your purposes may have been better served if you came to the website through more official channels - we could have given a news post over to your product. As it is I'm going to leave this thread here, since you're being so open, but if we get too many complaints I may have to lock it. Best of luck with your project though.

HMm, what if pixar did a proper animated animal movie, something in the spirit of The Incredible Journey or March of the Penguins. That could be pretty damn good. (anyone see that old Garfield animated movie, Garfields 9 Lives? The animal lab life was kind of moving, maybe because it was so unexpected).

I feel proud to hold such company. Your poor boyfriend is only fourth eh?

Oh yeah, the reaquisition of Pixar. That was a bummer. I was looking foward to seeing what they could do once they were independant. Now that dream is shattered (unless the staff of pixar get sick of disney and leave to set up a new studio... ). The cars with eyes thing does look inherently childish (Thomas the tank engine and so forth). Also I can't shake off the premonition that Cars will have roughly the same plot as Days of Thunder. I just can't imagine it being any other way, and I can't imagine it being good.

You do know Sutherland's past... problems... with wives? I'm sure he's better now though. Also when he was a teenager, he almost became a vampire.

Does this make it fair?

Oh, Erik beat me to pointing out that it's not a knighthood. You need a monarchy and stuff for that kind of thing. Yes indeedy, if you want to be Sir or Dame then best move to UK (although you'll probably just get an MBE, all the actual Knighthoods seem to be reserved for old rock stars and occasional hollywood actors. People who have haven't achieved much except for their own fame. woops poliitcs, sorry).

Wat happened to that [WIKI]Grange Hill[/WIKI] game they were making?

It's their use of language that amuses me most. The tone of voice as it were. "hey guys, did you see see this ting? huh? I'm just gonna link it here, just in case, you know? I don't think it's that cool, but it's pretty cool? Huh?"

It.. kind of inspires you to understand the guitar a bit more. A slight insight into what it must take perhaps. People that play the guitar definately do better at the game.

From the Snake on a Blog poetry contest or something: There are others just as hilarious.

This is the fist time I've heard of Snakes on a Plane. For a few minutes I thought it migt mean "Snakes on a surface" which would have been nicely abstract. Now I realise the hilarity. Please tell me more

HMm, looks like Final Destination meets Ring. But about a game. Actually I remember seeing a Japanese Horror film like this. I think it might have been St John's Wort. Or maybe it was a different one. It was enjoyably ridiculous whatever.

Heh, also he'd probably try to sue us. He'd fail, but the process would be incredibly tiresome.
