Strictly speaking, its probably not legal, especially not with regard to the DMCA since it probably involved what could be alleged as reverse engineering. It also probably violates Nintendo's EULA.

But as with most rights holders, barring the MPAA and RIAA, Nintendo does know their fanbase are very devoted to them and…

They jumped the shark way before that. It was Square EA wot done it.

I say this considering full well that they'd gotten away with releasing a brilliant but unfinished mecha game (Xenogears. I love it, and always will, but the entire second disc is 10 to 20 hours of walls of text with no way to speed them up really,…

You could add ZeniMax online, except it would be a crowd of baboons flinging shit and rocks at you. Using unqualified "testers" anywhere near a real beta, one that has y'know, bugs, is just asking for more gamebryo style non-existant text or looping dialog. And with no console to fix it.

Love Soul Eater, hate the ending. I'll try not to spoil anything but how the fuck does Maka have more courage than Blackstar? I mean his whole reason to exist is to surpass God, in his own words. Thats pretty damned courageous in and of itsself.

That last episode is like a not very well thought out Disney sequel's…

Hell yes, Ive never stopped using the slang. Its kinda funny how from what I've read in the SR4 sourcebooks certain characters posting on Shadowland or whatever they call it now still occasionally use it too, almost as a middle finger to the editors for what I consider a dumb editorial decision. The slang gave the…

Oh yeah they are, Aztec style step pyramids IIRC. One of the sourcebooks from SR 3 had a good depiction of the one in Tenochitlan but yeah they do use them quite often.

I can't remember for the life of me if SCIRE had a flat top, but it would make sense because I believe Renraku had a heliport/VTOL base on the top…

Black Mesa is an amazing game. And since I lost my Half-Life discs during one of my many moves across the country while I was in the Service its the only way I get to relive that point of my life again. I'm with you, I'll buy it the second it comes out.

Yeah I'd be willing to bet you're right on that score there chummer.

I never got into running Europe much, my old team did it a couple of times, mostly some stuff against Humanis as well as some Universal Brotherhood/Insect Spirit cleanup but I've always kept one eye firmly on Saeder-Krupp because, frag, who knows…

Yeah, the only things on the West Side of I-4 that are remotely safe were the Black Box Art Collective on Central and the Health Department on Westmoreland and Central. But yeah, going any further west gets you over into Orange Center, which is a No-Go Zone in every sense of the word.

I saw this on some Discovery Science program about how Japanese technology has evolved through the centuries and these dolls were featured along with some other interesting things like blade metallurgy and earthquake resistant building design. I don't remember the name, but its well worth viewing if someone else here…

Interesting choice of background, given that the expansion isn't in the Seattle metroplex. AFAIK only the SCIRE (or Renraku Arcology) was shaped like a pyramid and Saeder-Krupp doesn't generally imitate competitors.

^this. The lack of Multiplayer is the only downside to the game that I can see.

Great. We get to go do runs against Lofwyr. The most dangerous of his race after possibly Ghostwalker, which is saying something given how powerful Hestaby is. Even though Saeder-Krupp's Headquarters is located in Essen and not Berlin.

There are alot of possibilities with an expansion in Europe though, like fucking up…

Yeah why anyone would do something involving nearly 500 bucks in Parramore or by the Police and Fire Station 101 is beyond me. Transplants do stupid things, but they generally know better than to do something like that.

Sounds to me like they were both going to rob each other, and in front of OPD, which is dumb in and…

Don't let the haters dissuade you. Its not that bad.

Things get crazy at times but its generally transplants from other places in America who fled whatever shithole they came from because they were rejects there. They come here, and cause trouble here because they think we'll just let them do it. We don't. And I hate…

Don't worry, we hate you right back.

His name is Guy Ritchie, the former Mr. Madonna.
And yes, he did "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" first.

There's an in-browser emulated version that archive.org has here.

Yeah, agreed.

Plus, If you can't wait and absolutely have to fight in "Spaaaace!", there's always Star Trek Online, though its geared toward capital ships and not fighters really.

For a second I thought it was a weird civilian version of an M104 Wolverine or M60 ALVB mobile bridge, coming out of my past to fuck with me (my last unit in the Reserve and for that matter the Army in general was a Combat Engineering/Route Clearance Battalion, and the Horizontal Construction company had a couple of…
