I think you got a point, I mean, if we have christian rock and religiously-themed cartoons, why not christian videogames? The thing is: how to make such a game without ending hilariously ridiculous? I mean, what would it be? A Moses crossing the desert side-scroller? David vs Goliah Ultimate Fight? Perhaps a Jesus Christ adventure game: Opens the inventory, gets bread. Use it with disciples. Opens inventory, takes wine. Use wine with holy grail. Use it with disciples.

The closest thing I've ever seen is "Populous" and "Black & White", in which you play as gods.

Stop it, Greencapt, you're bringing back low-tech high school memories. I think there were between eight and twelve TVs in my HS, all of which rode around on carts with a VCR tagging along. I think a couple of the VCRs might have been old-style-even-then top loaders. The teachers just looooved having to scrounge up a TV for a video lesson; the smart ones would make their reservation weeks ahead.


We had those too, only fewer, maybe 4. I enjoyed when teachers used those because I didn't have to write anything and I could sleep .

Later on, my highschool built this nice theater thing with around 50 seats and a video projector, and some soundspeakers on the side of the walls. Kinda neat, althought the projector was too high and deformed the image (the bottom was bigger than the top). I remember one day where the history teacher asked us to seat closer to the screen because the sound of the tape wasn't so good. I tried to argument with her that the sound didnt come from the projected wall but from the soundspeakers, but it was useless.

I remember the first computers we had back in highschool, pre-historic green-coloured monitors, we used to program in LOGO on those. Took us forever to calculate on paper and later program it to draw a star onscreen. (I belive that program was used to create the death star plans animation sequence for ANH) - When I gratuated they had changed to something like Pentium 133 though

Smirnoff. Had the GREAT idea of drinking all the vodka I had left at once in an empty stomach - and I don't usually drink at all. I was messing up with the internet connection in my computer and testing it with originaltrilogy.com while doing it, so by the time I wrote it I was still in one piece, although unbelivably drunk. One hour later I was laying on the floor, singing something I can't remember, fearing I would pass out and drown in my own vomit. I dont remember how I went to sleep. I feel absolutely miserable now, completly sick... I'll NEVER drink again.

I never fully watched that movie, I only watched this part where Bond was playing this weird videogame with the villain, and I turned it off since it looked ridiculous. I didn't know Rowan Atkinson (Black Adder/Bean) was at that movie!

BTW I must tell you guys: it took me half an hour to post this as I'm absolutely and completly drunk (decided to drink all the liquor left in the apartment), I'm not sure I'll remember this tomorrow, so I'll telling this as a note to myself. I'm impresed I'm able to write this in the condition I am...

There was also a fully rubber, batman forever style costume idea - it could have been worse guys, it could have been worse.


Yes I know it could be worse. Kevin Smith told us.

OK, OK, I got one from tonight. I had this weird dream in which I bought some pants, and they were way too long for me, they covered my feet, so I just rolled them up and said "No, no, it's fine, it's not too big..."

Then, for some reason, I was back in the place I used to go on vacations as a kid, in the countryside, and I was looking at a computer that I needed to go to my accounting firm to pick up some papers, so me and my brother got into the car. I got lost, so I stopped the car and I called my mother on the cell phone so she could tell me directions. While I was talking to her, some people approached my brother and were talking to him, so I got out of the phone and told them to back off, and they got offended, said they were thinking we had a problem with the car and were trying to help...

Something else happened but I cant remember, and I woke up, and two hours later, here I am.

If GL bought the rights to Hitchcock films, he would add some weeeird SGI stuff on it and release it.


North by Northwest: re-film the whole plane sequence with a CGI tie-fighter.
Psycho: Norman Bates IS a Sith Lord. We only find out in the end though...
Rope: Have Yoda stand over the infamous trunk, giving James Stewart some advice thru the movie.
Birds: Picture this... not birds, but CGI gargoyles!
Vertigo: "Please... die your hair blonde... and put on this dress... and speak bocce!"

All I know is I've check three different sources and they all spell License L-i-c-e-n-s-e. And you are right Bossk my spell checker doesn't know the word Azkaban.

what!!!?!!??!! Diamonds is clearly the worst of the Connery era(unless you count Never say Never again, which was not made the same company and is not offically a part of the Bond movie series). Connery was clearly getting too old for the part and the guy they had playing Blowfield was the worst the three that played him. He wasn't even bald! If you ask me Connery gives his best performance as Bond in Dr. NO. No one in any of the Bond has every delivered the line "Bond. James Bond." Better that Connery did in Dr. NO.


Warbler so you should call Pink Floyd and ask them to rename the song "Any Colour you Like" to "Any Color you Like". Aparently you are not aware that this is a correct spelling in another country, and that english was BORN in europe, and the american way is the "wrong" one...

About Diamonds: Well, I'm intitled (cant spell) of my opinion, and that's what I think. The movie is creepy and silly, but I like Sean Connery on that one. Can't explain. It's just the way I see it.
