  1. I don't think this will change much, for better or for worse. The second he was dug out of that hole, this was never going to end any other way. Perhaps his trial should have gone up to the Hague instead, for a proper, stable trial in a more established court. In any case, I don't see him becoming a great driving force for the Sunni insurgents, with the violence already escalated to fever pitch. I think it would be best to just get it over and done with now.
  2. What makes you say that?
  3. All of them. All at once or one after the other, I'm not bothered.
  4. The whole thing just looks gorgeous. That fish animation looks stunning. A nice peaceful simulation of the best and most beautiful nature has to offer. In my opinion if they get this right it would represent games at their zenith.
  5. Undercover Brother - No other film has ever dealt with the complexities of inter-racial community relationships in the USA with more intelligence. I'm not kidding. The fact it's also riotously funny is simply an added bonus. Featuring the wonderful David Chappelle. 8/10 "The black man never gets any credit. Jesus Christ- black man. Babe Ruth- black man. Madonna- sleeps with black men. Think about it!"
  6. Now for my two cents- I like the new Fox/Command DS design. It's a nice, clean evolution on the horror that was his 90s taxidermy style in Starwing. Boots possibly a little big, but I'll live. Stop whining! (currently downloading)
  7. Goldeneye - Tina Turner Great bond film, great Bond theme tune. Puts the new one to shame. 8/10
  8. Ah, I remember the time I got into a harumph trying to finish F-Zero story mode. Those poor school children...
  9. Renaissance - Imagine Perfect Dark meets Sin City. Great but slightly misfiring cast that includes Daniel Craig, Jonathan Price, Ian Holmes and that guy with the really sexy gravely voice. Visuals are spectacular and there are some great action scenes. The plot is a tad cluttered and muddled with a few unnecessary plot points and characters, but it's all explained by the end of the film at least. Bawdy dialogue. All in all, worth a look. 6/10 "I may not know much about saints, but I've got a good nose for smelling out a son of a bitch!"
  10. Yes, damn Tim Burton and his insatiable desire to work for MONEY!
  11. The love making skeletons were a tad freaky, but in a good way. Gotta love Tim Burton. The 'tache ain't too bad either, in my opinion
  12. It'll be Sonic. Failing Sonic, some other third party character. Alucard or Megaman possibly. Who am I kidding? It's going to be Sonic. Also hoping for - Cel-Link, Cloud (with FF7 blouse costume), Pikmin and Pheonix Wright. Tails would be cool too.
  13. Right up until the exact moment in time the cooling system breaks down for some bizarre reason, instantaneously incinerating you and everyone else within a 25-mile radius of your television.
  14. Resi 1-3, Eternal Darkness and FEAR are all brilliantly pant-wetting stuff.
  15. I'd be dressing up if I had something to dress up in.
  16. Indeed my sleeping patterns are buggerd too, though only until Tuesday, where upon college starts again and I am forced to rejoin the daylight world of the living. Aayhoo, back to my work...
  17. Don't worry, I was talking fairly hypothetically. Interesting though isn't it? There are loads of situations out there where people (of ALL faiths) could personally benefit by attacking someone else and probably get away with it. But they don't. I really do think it's built into our genes, and you can't escape it. You say you could probably ignore it, but you can't. Violence is bad and our bodies tell us by feeling bad. Even soldiers brainwashed to kill after a long campaign are left with horrific mental scars that will last them their whole lives. The whole reason the SS used gas chambers was because their troops were too traumatised actually having to shoot or blow up Jewish prisoners. It's kinda weird in it's own way.
  18. So why haven't you? There are plenty of everyday situations where I could have injured or even murdered someone for a variety of minor and significant gains, and probably have gotten away scot free. I didn't do it though, as I'd just feel guilty about the effects my actions would have. What's stopping you?
  19. Are you not basically saying then that it's not wrong if you get away with it?
  20. I really don't think not murdering someone goes far beyond empathy as a basic group survival instinct. It works both ways too. Only psychotics murder purely for the sake of killing others. It's often to defend or expand their territory, their wealth their way of life, protect themselves and their loved ones and so on. All of the most vicious gang cartels often exist in very tight nit groups or communities (Mafia, Yakuza ect.), which offers a means of survival and often subsequently something or someone to kill for, to defend against rival gangs or maybe even to take revenge for. If we didn't have empathy we wouldn't have any concept of avenging someone's death. Because we empathise with a person, if they are hurt we can feel hurt too, and may even want to hurt someone else because we want to make them feel how we feel. Some aren't always able to empathise with everybody, some even choose not to sometimes. Luckily for most of us our ability to empathise is strong enough to stop us from doing crazy stuff. You would never jab your best friend in the eye just because you felt like it, even if you could get away with it.
  21. Basically, I choose not to murder someone for the same reason I have no wish to be murdered. It's just not nice. Empathy, basically. It's a pretty important and extraordinarily basic survival and social instinct for the human race (and probably most of the animal kingdom). Imagine a world where killing someone just didn't matter, at all. It just wouldn't work.
  22. I think the 7600GT would be a good choice, with a decent price and performance. The GS is mainly for the the low budget market, and as such is pretty pants.
  23. Pokemon blue I think, but Links Awakening DX (the funky colour version) sits in a pretty close second. Both were simply incredible.
  24. I think that would make a scarily prophetic section in his will.
  25. Am I the only person who has a problem with people actually wanting seeing someone die?
