Some people believe he was a cyborg ninja re-esembled by the government.  Others dispute that he was in fact just another Cleks clone operating as a diversion.  We may never know the truth.

Did anybody make it to my vigil?  

I remember when I posted as 'someguyinfrance'  i had hopes that everyone would start reporting Cleks clones attacking  different parts of the world.  It was going to be awesome.   but Mr. T won in the end.

WOOOO RAZOR ERECTION!

I always felt that it made perfect sense that the people who made the viruses were the people who sold the anti-virus protection.

afterall, those companies would go belly-up should hackers suddenly get bored and stop.

I estimate that I am:

6' 1"        235 lbs

185 cm  106 kg


Proportionwise, I'm not as fit as I could be but I also have a wide body frame, rendering me a 'golden rectangle'!

of course i have dude, just look at my avatar

I'm 21 going on redundant


This year I'm really scared I might turn 20.

I second eric's nomination for the newsbot thread.

To remind and/or familiarize you of its greatness, please review the following:

That was a great, rocking awesome thread.  But without any evidence of its existence, I have only the memories.

hello jazz.


there's a sketch on Mr Show where Bob Odenkirk is a news anchor segwaying into a story.  "And now we go to Jazz with the story. Jazzzz."

The way he says "jazz" is just really cool and is how I will mentally say your name everytime I address you, Jazz.

got mine today. listening to it right now in fact.

Good stuff. I'm pretty sure I heard a KITH soundbite in there.  My favorites are still consumer whore, falling to do, telekinesis.

Communities also like to gripe at eachother and use circle explanations.

*nudge nudge*

This is not a jab, but are you saying that you can only take in pieces of writing line by line rather than as a whole?  Because if so, I'll drop this whole thing right now.  Afterall, I am leaving the computer lab!

Ah, but I love ya.



p.s. Peter: you cannot honestly think saying so will make it happen.  People are holding convictions and all that junk. They will surely speak.  Besides, who are you?  

I'm surprised most people are amused.  If anything, I'm disgusted at my own amusement.  Mainly because it looks like the girl has a birth defect, or atleast horrible parents.  But c'est la vie or something, fat people are darned funny.  And our laughing at them may cause more children to be raised healthy, slim adults.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

DG, regardless of this particular situation, admit that nit-picking exact phrases, AGSers, and examples is a method you commonly use in your replies of debate.

You do this often and with much passion.   But who is your intended audience?

To me, it seems like the particular person to whom you are replying is your sole audience.  You quote them line by line, so naturally that person will read through your long post and reply.

However, you just said that your reason for posting "is to show that some people haven't thought about their points of view very carefully."

That works if your intended audience is Mandarb in this instance, because he will read your posts directed to him.  (Although I don't know what good it will do, because no one will ever agree that they are not smart or informed on the issue.) But the rest of us have very little interest in following you quote by quote, out of context of the original debate.   I hope you think about what I am stating because I don't think you understand my point of view.  

Sometimes huge bodies of text directed at one other person contribute very little to a debate.  Rather, they can be distracting and self-serving.  That's why most of us choose to ignore eachother rather than try to debunk individuals we think are speaking out of their asses.  

I wish for you to realize these posts are distractions only so you will consider making future posts that everyone will be interested in reading and replying to, which will make debates flow so much better.

Please reply as a whole and not to each segment or fragment, completely out of context. Thank you.

You could use the following:
"P.B. and no J"

Puddin' - I've tried arguing that in the past and ultimatley it's just a worthless argument.  

Vice was the fourth GTA release, and something tells me they won't number GTAs from now on.  They'll simply name the game after the city.   The only reason why gta3 should be named anything other than  'Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City' is that they built a new engine, etc.


but there won't be a gta4 anytime soon to confuse with vice, agreed?

San Andreas [as with Vice City] was in the original GTA.

It's a simulacra of San Francisco rather than LA, which is good, because San Francisco is prettier, and imagine driving around endless freeways in LA. yuck.

Oh hey.  I'm fairly certain it will be a combination of San Francisco, LA, and other interesting burbs in california.   I'm sure there will be one or two yucky highways but nothing too bad.  We'll get the hills and the bridges of San Fran, and the sunset boulevard/ hollywood / slums part of Los Angeles.  

Remember- we need slums becuase we need crime... becuase we need to justify shooting people.  Slums which don't quite exist in SF.   As far as gangs, Rockstar will probably offend just about everybody this time. Hispanics, blacks, asians, white trash, Hollywood heroine addicts, agents, homosexuals.  It'll be great.  


Some developer should make a game in a "simulacra" of  Las Vegas.  I guess GTA might get around to it despite the lack of water... but hell, they could make the story involve an artificial lake formed by a rupture in the Hoover Dam.  If you're crazy about boats. "Holiday RoOOOOooooad! Hey look kids, Big Ben!"

Driver was revolutionary, in my mind. That last level with the president was  tough as hell.  The mode with just the police smashing you was great fun.

Felony 11-79 was alright but pretty much a linear track with a few shortcuts.

I once emailed Luxoflux after they released Vigilante 8.  I had drawn and planned ideas for a sequel that combined driving and onfoot adventure.  I still have the packet, the game was called Roadside Vengeance.  But some guy from Luxoflux told me not to bother, they wouldn't even open it.  Besides, "gamers don't like hybrid games" and he named off an example I had never heard of.

Now look at Luxoflux- only AFTER gta3 and vice, they develop True Crime.  Good call dude.

Imagine working for Rockstar Games right now.  The work seems highly lucrative - the GTA series has sold over 30 million copies, with another game due in October.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

There's no synopsis or screenshots, but who wants to bet that's Los Angeles?  For all I know most of you have been chatting in various forums about this for quite some time - but I am really excited.  I went back to playing GTA3 last night and only then realized how much Rockstar innovates between each game.  It's not just a new city each time.  The level of interaction in San Andreas should really be amazing.

Not to mention- Rockstar also has the whole Max Payne series (which I'm not quite as crazy about) and ALSO the upcomingRed Dead Revolver, the trailer of which is a cinematic masterpiece.  Someone really studied their western films to get that look perfected.  


Anyway, aside from gossip fanboy stuff- post here to discuss the future of gaming ala nonlinear environments and interaction.  Eversince Omikron dissapointed me with its supposed "lifesize city of limitless interaction", I've been skeptical.  But now it's looking like entire cities ARE being made, and one can just wander around in them.  How long before gamers can actually knock on any door they want - and find a unique family sitting around a table eating dinner?  Or interact with people not simply using violence?  Shaking hands, conversing, eating, kissing, intercourse, etc.

Although most of these popular games are violent in nature, their popularity might bring opportunity for a new brand of adventure game one day.  Imagine Vice City was a detective game where you solved crimes and there were no guns.  With a certain amount of interaction, the entertainment would stilll be there.

trailers are often made before the final cut.  trust the editor, the movie is probably better without them.
