  1. I'll await the Idle Thumbs review on Pirates! before thinking about it. It should be out in two years, methinks. :mrt: Err but seriously, you can't seem to go wrong with pirates. At least, I don't think so. Exactly how freeroaming is it? Can you really wind down all these differents paths of becoming a guv'ner, or the new Redbeard, or Bluebeard? Or can you just indulge in a Hollywood happy romantic marriage with the tavern wench? Is this all possible, or is it more constricted?


  2. The baby was obviously just a pun. It's acceptable because it's in no way credible and it works on the basis that they're not going to do anything else with the movie (hence also supervillain The Underminer, who is the enemy of PEACE and HAPPINESS). The only REAL flaw of the movie is that Violet, dear sweet cute innocent Violet chooses the POPULAR BOY at the end as her romantic interest -instead of realising that good looks mean NOTHING and choosing for the non-existent teased nerdboy who is actually the COOLEST of all schoolkids.

    I have a crush on a polygon character and I'm not even ashamed of it.


  3. Dito. I already see a horrible 2D animated series being pumped out by some Disney satellite in Korea where The Incredibles is turned into a villain-of-the-week show. I'll just ignore the crap and recognize only the original movie as being part of The Incredibles-canon.

    But enough with the politics, lets just indulge ourselves in blissful fanboyish buttering-up. The movie deserves it.


  4. That said we have a LOT of best-selling games this year. It is just baffling how much quality and quantity there is in just these few months. If only there were less sequelitis. And if only the games were spread out more accross the year, so I could play more than 2% of them.

    The bright side being that as soon as you get around to playing the other 98%, they'll be ultra-cheap.


  5. I SAW THE INCREDIBLES!

    *exuberant outrageous screams of utter exuberance*

    It was fantastic! I even saw it in the first digital theatre in the Netherlands, making for a unique experience in crispiness. But wow, the movie itself rocked my socks! It's one, if not THE, of my favourite animated movies EVER~! Like Han Solo would say: ,,YEEE-HAW!"

    But that's just Solo. I bet HE'S pretty pissed now that he doesn't live in OUR universe, eh? Who's jealous NOW, Solo?!

    Anyway, The Incredibles was fantastic. After my mild disappointment with Finding Nemo (very charming, but it didn't really hold a gripping appeal to me), The Incredibles did everything right for me. It just switched every button inside of me, making for one of the most tittilating movie-experiences ever :clap:


  6. Yeah, that would be me.

    Sorry about the war-terms in the topic's title, folks.

    But I don't think Firefly and Farscape, apart from the mediocre alliteration, have much in common. I mean; yeah, they're both characterdriven science fiction shows, but Farscape is a lot more soapy, while Firefly resembles more of those polished American shows of late, like The Sopranos or Six Feet Under. you know, the classy shows.

    But, yeah, I'm crazy about both of them.


  7. Well hopefully that silly behaviour isn't present on the roleplaying servers (a ridiculous notion of course since it's a roleplaying game to begin with, but apparantly it's necessary to keep a community in check that doesn't seem to have any integrity :shifty:).

    I won't be getting World of Warcraft though. I haven't got internet at home anymore and I like it that way. So no online gaming for me!
