You know, now that I've slept a night over it, I'm more positive about the Starwars teaser. Especially the first half just IS very good trailermaterial, and I've shifted my mindset from expecting a good starwars movie, to just expecting a really nice campy special effects movie. And I still think the horde of wookies is cute.

I'm scared. I have to say though that it could very well be that he's a very friendly and nice man in reality. Think of all the outrage the German movie Der Untergang created, where people were angry that the movie supposedly made Hitler look "too human". Really? I mean; you're serious about this? Let me fill you in on a li'l secret: he WAS a human you bunch of Nerfherders! Come on, we're all reasonable people, right? And unlike Bush, we understand that not everything is either black or white. Hitler might have been great with children, and Bush will also have his good sides. I'm not comparing the two, for those of you who are eager to misread my words.

Sparking controversy, today's rant on Captain August is sure to make 90% of its readers fulminate. And I'm not even dissing the freaking game! It's ludicrous I tell you! It just goes to show how mad these people are, MAD I say!

I think it'd be wise to just make formulaic review with a twist. If you go all avantgarde on their asses they may think you're not fit for their magazine. In that case it shouldn't be too difficult: just look well at other reviews to notice a general make-up of positives, negatives, little details and a conclusion, and you're off. Think well what you want to say, what aspects of the game you want to stress and what the dominant theme of the game is. Mention who will enjoy playing this, and maybe what other games resemble it. I don't know, just some tips.

The cars trailer was awful and the Starwars teaser looked more like the Flash Gordon Returns-teaser. It started kind of well but then they lost themselves in generic footage. I'm not the one to scoff at campy movies but I'm cringing because I want this movie to be good and dark and evil. The horde of Wookie fighters was kinda cute though.

Frustration! I just went to Blizzard's and ploughed my way all through the registration process of the World of Warcraft open beta, only to find that the final link to the download was BROKEN! Real anger! :frusty:

I'm sorry! I just... just... I don't even WANT The Singles! For instance, it doesn't feature hardhitting lyrics from Godsmack! I mean there you have it, what more reason would you want? :'

Giveaways rock.

Done. But why would Tim be upset that I'm helping turn Grim into a pop culture legend?

They shall be known as The Schafer Six.

I'd like to share the most remarkable dream I had this weekend. I was sitting in a car on a holiday trip to England (disregarding the fact that there's a span of water between the Netherlands and the UK), and accompanying me on the back seat were two girls, both of whom were very cute. Then I suddenly recognised them as being the Bush daughters. I began to flirt with one of them and that sure was a fun thing. Then it appeared that daddy Bush himself was in the car too, and he was just the most pleasant, homely fellow ever. He really seemed to me like a good father and a swell guy in my dream, in that car there. Stupid thing being that when I woke up, I couldn't shake the feeling anymore that Bush is actually a pretty nice guy. In fact, even now my feelings are tainted by that dream.

The correct answer is of course; mathematics sucks and it'd be wiser to waste your precious time uncovering the truths of life instead of trying to capture it in absolute figures (and, coincidentally, absolute nonsense).

Lies! You're prejudiced!

Today: PROOF that I belong in ! Look at all those game-related things I'm putting in my strip! http://www.captainaugust.com/ Guess which all-time favourite anti-hero protagonist makes his appearance?

I agree with you completely that the world feels so very flat, regardless of the mountains and hills. If you play Fable, you'll see a game that's completely un-flat. Morrowind HAS been hand-designed though... ah well, we'll just see what Oblivion can do for us. Hopefully they'll make the landscape more of a 'character' than it is now. You know, with more strange places and unique landmarks.

Thanks for making my lameass joke better sounding, Yufster. But it just works better in its original language, told by the actual cabaretier who made it, with the proper musical companionship, and when it's rhyming. But hey, a desperate man can try.

Siesta's are supposed to be napping times when the sun is so hot that it's impossible to get some work done, right? Well, just let yourself be absorbed by the heat and you'll soon whither. And if you can't go to sleep, well, you don't HAVE to have a siesta you know. Us hardworking Netherlandic folk carry on all day long without a nap

A friend of mine went through several flipflopping stadia when he played Fable. He had high hopes for it, and even though I warned him that there was much division over it, his enthusiasm never waned. When he got the game, he was enthralled with it for a short time, a week or so. After that, he seemed to be bored and disappointed by it. It was at that time that I saw him picking it up again, and he began to get into it some more again. But then he finished the game, and he was severely disappointed with the ending, and in retrospect the whole game. He seems to really dislike it now. Now I can't vouch for these opinions, but it's just what he told me. In his own saying he just 'had nothing to do anymore' once the game ended, which in itself appeared to be crappy and ill-done. But, hey, those graphics, ey?

I dunno, I'll trust anyone with a name like Prick Cunningham.

I have always hated those gay cookies. I'm joining you.

I can quote a pretty good Herman Finkers: In een café klinkt een mop; het bedenkelijke werk: ,,een Jood een neger en een turk zitten samen in de kerk..." ,,Die grap is niet fijn," zegt de kastelijn, ,,hij is kwetsend, en bepaald niet sterk... altijd weer die grappen over de kerk!" Translated: a guy in a bar tells an iffy joke: ,,a Jew, a negro and a turk are sitting in church..." ,,That joke isn't funny," says the barman, ,,It is hurtful, and not particularly inspired... always those comments on the church!" Man that falls flat on its face in English and without musical score O_O Can I get a demo anyway?

Yeah. That's because we're so densely populated. Damn, it's such a shame. We should be taking a exemplary role in this!

Incidentally, the initial reason for me to despise Bush was, when way before 9/11, he said: ,,Fuck the Kyoto treaty." and turned his back on the environment. That's it right there. That's what made me turn MY back on him. Coincidentally, I think Bush would be a huge hypocrite if he'd accuse Iran now for neglected the nucleair treaties or somesuch. After all, he didn't make a big deal out of fucking over international agreements, why should he be bothered if everyone else did it? Fine example he set there

If you'd have even so much as momentarily glanced my way when walking passed me, you could have whiffed that I am everything but a racist. But alas, this forum lacks smell-o-vision. Do not bother me with your tunnelmind.

EA will LOVE that award!!
