You're just trying to get me ignored by JT34...

He's in my bashement.

Here is a 10ish minute preview of "gameplay" of BioShock Infinite.  I can't say it resembles "gameplay" 4realz but maybe it's all done in engine. 

1. I can't believe they're pushing this game so hard already with a 2012 sometime release date.

2. I'm still worried the game will be Anti-American in its presentation.

And C3PX, which Game Informer cover did you get?  The one with the little boy or with the young girl on it?

1. Definitely say, "But you can just get another one!"  It sounds like a real winner.

sarcasm?

Seriously though... I don't mean to single you out 005, but the "my pets are my kids" sentiment really rubs me the wrong way.  It's usually opined by people that don't have kids... and I guess they must really misunderstand what having kids is like actually having (human) kids.  

the above rubs me the wrong way.  It's usually opined by people that don't have pets... and I guess they must misunderstand what having pets is like.

I have had (and do have) both kids and pets.  Can you say the same, Warbler?  And are you saying that you equate animal and human life?

One thing that really sucked - the credits.  Worst credits ever, barely legible.

The first time I ever saw the ocean, I was real disappointed. "That's the ocean?!" I said. No, said Mom and Dad, that's just the parking lot. When we pulled into the lot, I was real disappointed in it. It was hard to find a spot, and the spaces seemed way too narrow, in my book. The ocean was okay, I guess, but I still can't get over how disappointing that parking lot was.

I'll ask him.  Hey!  bkev is ignoring me now!  Does that get me into some exclusive club?  Thanks a lot, bkev!  I'm feeling tons better about myself!

Oh!  Please do!

C3PX,

I will attempt to summarize:

1. Definitely say, "But you can just get another one!"  It sounds like a real winner.  Though I'm not sure what you can say when she shouts, "But I DON'T want another one!  I just want ***** back!  Boo hoo hoo!"  That seems pretty iron clad.  I guess just hope she doesn't say that.

Actually that's probably all of the advice you'll need.  Most of the time I've found honestly saying "Wow, I have no idea what you're going through because I have nothing to compare it to." to be of more service than trying to stretch anything like, "I remember when my first NES stopped working.  I cried for days." or something like that.

Seriously though... I don't mean to single you out 005, but the "my pets are my kids" sentiment really rubs me the wrong way.  It's usually opined by people that don't have kids... and I guess they must really misunderstand what having kids is like.  I can understand being very attached to an animal... but nothing like actually having (human) kids.  Though having a (dog) puppy is probably very similar to having a (goat) kid.  Maybe that's what is meant.

Well put, Bingo.

Raiders of the Lost Ark in 3 Acts (feat. prologue):

The Problem: The Nazi's Will Get the ARK of the Covenant.

It's been a little bit since I've seen this last... but here it goes.

Act 0:  The prologue to Raiders introduces us to Indiana Jones, and the world he lives in, but it has nothing to do with the "problem" of the film.  So I'm safely discarding it as Act 0.

Act 1: The Ark is explained and Indy takes the job to go find it.  He finds Marion and she becomes his g** d*** partner.

Act 2: Everything leading up to Indy getting the Ark, but the Nazi's steal it from him.

Act 3: Indy chasing down the Ark, and the Nazi's destroying themselves with it.

Wow, that was pretty basic.  I must be forgetting something.  A visual timeline would help me make sure I'm on the right track.  Can someone tell me I'm wrong here?

I'm not a Family Guy fan.  I was told, "It doesn't matter if you're a FG fan, if you're a Star Wars fan, you'll love it!  It's hillllllarious!" (Something I might say about the Robot Chicken Star Wars spoofs).

I found it neither hilarious nor something deserving of my love.  The first one I would summarize as: "Star Wars, but re-enacted with Family Guy characters and maybe 5% more jokes, none of which I found to be very funny."  I haven't seen the 2nd one, but I heard that it was less of a re-enactment, and more of a spoof.  That's probably better, but since I don't like FG sense of humor, I can't imagine I would enjoy it.  So I've skipped it.

Wow, and I thought the chances of getting what I wanted were slim.  ;)

What?  I was being serious...  :(

I'm in with in (ignored) crowd.

Thanks.  Post some details on which you liked, when you get a chance.

What have I done to deserve this unequal treatment!?!?!?!  It's so unfair!

I think Luke should cut Vader's hand off, exposing the wire.  Then, after he throws his lightsabre away, he starts winding the wire around Vader.  THEN, in between shocks of lightning, Luke pulls really hard on the wire and Vader jolts upright, spinning like a top.  THEN! Vader ignites his lightsabre and starts whirling toward the Emperor, with the dangerous red blade slicing around and around.  As he gets close to Luke, Luke has to jump over it like a jump rope.  The Emperor jumps in, hiking his skirt to mid calf as he jumps in time with Luke.  The Emperor starts in on some rhyme about Sally and penny candy.  Then Luke does a hand stand!  HE's JUMPing over the LIGHTSABRE ROPE while STANDING! ON! HIS HEAD!  The Emperor is ticked, so he pushes Vaders helmet (he's still spinning) and he starts to wobble away (but he doesn't fall over).  Then Luke and the Emperor shoot a game of horse eopie (<- PT link).  The Emperor is about to lose, and he's lifting is fingers about to shock Luke some more... And Luke sees out of the corner of his eye that Vader is wobbling very hard like he's about to topple to the ground.  Which he does, right between the Emperor and the short guard rail to the pit of forever doom.  Thinking fast, Luke tells him his shoes are untied and the Emperor falls for it.  Bill and Ted give him a wedgie, and then Luke pushes him over Vader's fallen body so that he goes careening down into the pit.  But Bill and Ted go with him and they play a game of 20 questions on the way down.  Then the Emperor decides to join their band "Wylld Rankors!" and they save San Dimas Highschool.

You'd probably have to do it with action figures or something.

Ah... carp.

To my knowledge, I've never been ignored by anybody, not even as a joke.  Well, now that cat's out of the bag I'm sure my spotless record is about to go down in flames...

Or maybe it's a glitch in the matrix and I can't be ignored?

And by matrix, I mean OT.com forum software.

And by OT.com forum software, I mean IE 7 or 8.

Heaven help me... I would see it.  Even if I didn't want to.

I liked 1 a lot, and figured I never needed to see 2 or 3 again.

Heh, and there were plenty more who did buy/watch and still didn't notice :-(

(and by all means keep quoting me - Hi JediTray! ;-))

Anyway, I'd be fine with no Fett in ROTJ but he never really bothered me in ROTJ either.

Wait... why am I quoting you?

Man, I WISH!

Nope.  Despite my Teh Suckz thread.
