But if LucasArts bring back adventure games, they'll go bankrupt.

Adventure games don't have a large share of the market anymore.

Maybe they will in the future. I doubt it, but who knows?

First of all, EA isn't a genre. Adventure games and FPS are. And the market isn't driven by EA games because other developers can't go "Hey, I'm going to corner the market by releasing an EA game". It's driven by genres. And currently, it's being driven by FPS.

It's like me saying, "The road is saturated with cars" and then you saying, "No, the road is saturated with Fords". You're basically comparing apples to apple farms.

Secondly, try and stay on focus here, jet -- My point is it's unfair to blame the decline of adventure games on George Lucas.

Screw it, look up the completely illegal and unsupervised and bad hacks and crack! I mean, would you prefer people thought you were a wussy loser or an ultra-cool rebel?

He has to redeem himself in three ways:

1. Bring back the adventure games (who here really cares about the games?)
2. Release the OT on DVD. No Special Edition bullshit. No editing to the films like we know you are going to do. (He's an asshole, you know he's gonna)
3. Make Episode III the darkest of them all. I wanna see blood in the streets! Show me the crimes that made Darth Vader, Darth Vader! Kill all the Jedi whoopie!!!


Adding to the stuff that Ultimo said, it's also worthy to note that LucasArts were making adventure games during production of the TPM.

Grim Fandango was made during TPM's production, and the game was critically well-recieved but sold miserably. Then there was EMI, which was also critically well-reieved, but fans hated it.

And on that note, you can't really fault George Lucas for the lack of adventure games being produced. Even if he did release new adventures, I doubt they'd sell well, based on my two examples above.

It's just that the market has changed -- more gamers prefer FPS. That's why the market is saturated with FPS.

Here's another thought.

Maybe she's joking about the whole Church thing with you.

As in "I'd love to see YOU in Church (heheheh)"

The best thing you can do is walk up to her and say that you would like to spend some time with her, but not at Church, because you would feel uncomfortable there. Arrange a place where you both would enjoy and have fun.

I'm not saying this because I'm anti-Church (Sure, I am, but it makes no difference in my opinion on relationships). If you were a Church going fellow there wouldn't be a problem. But since you have this dilemma, then there has no be some kind of acquiescence between the two of you. I mean, you wouldn't expect her to go to a Trent Reznor concert, would you? I'm sure the lass wouldn't feel very comfortable, just the same as you wouldn't feel comfortable going to Church.

I think for the first few meetings, you should find something that's familiar to both of you. Then, discuss where you guys want to go. Do you just want to hang out and have fun, or turn it into something serious? If you want to take it to the next step, and as you get to know each other more, then you both can step out your comfort zones. Maybe one day you can go to Church and one day she can come to one of your sacrificial goat meetings.

Good relationships are not built where one person expects another to change before you even start going out. If she says, "I won't date you unless you come to Church," then that shows no respect for how you feel. It'd be the same if you said to her, "I won't date you unless you come to a Marilyn Manson concert." If she expects you to go to Church before she dates you, it's not worth it. She's looking for something in you that isn't there. She must be willing to meet somewhere in the middle. That's how good relationships start.

Then learn about each other. Talk to each other, like people usually do. Find out more about her and tell her more about yourself. That way you might gain some more insight into her and she'll gain some more insight into you. And along the way, you might find some common interests.

Then you can take it to the next step.

But if she's expecting you do go to Church before anything else, turn and run. I'm not saying that because it's Church and I'm anti-Church. I'm saying that because she's not willing to respect your needs and expects you to conform to hers.

So, like I said, meet with her. Tell her you would like to spend some time with her. Tell her your dilemma. Tell her you'd feel better spending time with her in a place you'll both feel comfortable. If she understands, then she'll agree. Then you two crazy kids can organise a date you'll both enjoy.

Sincerely,
Dr Macphee

Or digitally remaster the film to remove the gaffer tape from Carrie Fisher's tits.

And I'm a journalism student who works at a self-storage facility.

As for what I want to be, maybe a writer of some kind.

I also think it's people who watch American Idol are morons and love to watch people make fools of themselves as much as they love to see people win. So much is the case, that they're like ravenous vultures that feed on the soft, chicken-like taste of human flesh that is Willy Hung.

P.S. Har har har. Willy Hung. Or is it BIG Willy Hung. Har har har.  ::)
