Quick question: How is it that Andre Braugher isn't a fucking movie star? He is, bar-none, one of the best actors I've ever seen, he can do menacing, vulnerable, quietly intellectual and businesslike. He has PRESENCE with that voice. The only thing I haven't seen him do is play dumb, or play comedy. After Homocide (my favorite dramatic TV show) I figured he'd be huge. Hollywood's always looking for great black actors, how on earth wasn't he wasn't at the top of the list? Blows my mind.

I just wanted to say, that having FFVI characters in the game has made my day.

El hijo del Santo v Negro Casas is what came to mind immediately. AJPW title matches almost always have incredible heat. Hogan/Rock

Liking Star Wars is 100x geekier than never kissing a girl?

CLEARLY Starscream is the coolest Decepticon. I mean, it shouldn't be up for debate.

I will establish my penis in your BUTT. OH I WENT THERE. This thread was made less gay by my post.

You must be an Uncle Tom. Only Uncle Tom's get DUIs. I know this because I know you. That's fucked up, though. But there for the grace of God go I.

Let me elucidate my point. I don't want another Lunar (which was a great story with fucking STODGY gameplay.) I just want RPGs to move faster, I guess. I read very quickly. A simple sprite image of Locke freaking out is now represented by a minute and a half cutscene of the hero looking pensive. Valkyrie Profile is one of my favorite games of all time. And it really eschews rpg convention. But what it has? Fucking gameplay in spades. Same with Suikoden II, which is only a 20 hour game if you zip through it. Suikoden II may be an abnormality, because the plot is so incredibly fucking good. However, it has gameplay in SPADES. Xenogears is the ultimate example of this. It had, for the most part, the most INCREDIBLE plot. The gameplay sort of sucked, but it was THERE. However, it was the beginning of the end. S L O W text basically was a harbinger of the long, voice-acted sequences of today. Basically, I want to zip through text. RPGs are not going to be Shakespeare, why try? The best sequences of the best RPGs (FFVI, Crono) could be read quickly. Can you imagine the isle of Chaos scene in FFVI today? It would last for-fucking-ever. I think modern RPGs are still searching for that moment in FFVII where Aeris died. It kicked ass, it was a great moment, but FFVII was framed with LOADS of gameplay. And its story sequences, while long, packed a lot of the game into a tight package. Text is good. I'm enjoying KHII, but in all honesty, Suikoden II, with it's great story and simple, but deep gameplay, has kicked the SHIT out of every RPG since, except Valkyrie Profile. Yeah, yeah I know. I should go play Zork.

If La Parka riding some kind of Domo-kun beast while proudly flipping the bird doesn't count as Pulitzer material, we're all doomed.

i sorta like KHII, but how long till we get a great old school RPG? How hard is it to do Suikoden II, which is my #2 RPG of all time, again? I don't want to watch kids say a line, *three reaction shots* let's go! anymore. It's a good thing I can play FFVI at work. Valkyrie Profile is probably the last (chronologically) great RPG. They're making VP2, it looks like it's going to have a lot of CUTSCENES!

The above is a sentence fragment.

Who's playing on hard mode? The reviews bitched about it being way too easy, but people seem to be having a decent challenge here, do reccomend normal or hard?

If this is an April Fools' joke about Abu Ghirab, that's pretty sick.

whore Pronunciation Key (hôr, hr) n. 1) A prostitute. Thanks for playing MX, try again. By the way, by your definition: Your mother's a whore. Unless she got knocked up with you while with a john. If that's the case, I apologize.

It would be terrifying to get fucked up on LSD when you weren't expecting it.

Or candy!

We have a meat smoker that uses Mesquite chips. Not technically a BBQ, but really nice to have. Smells good while you use it, too. I prefer charcoal's taste, but we have a gas BBQ at the parents house. I'm not allowed to BBQ at my apartment complex, which really sucks.

Remember when Bruce Lee ripped out Chuck Norris's chest hairs and blew them in his face? Yeah, that was the shit.

Oh, Hecubus. You're pure evil.

God, where'd that originally come from?

Man, Oz was a great show.

Not THIS kind of radicalism.

So who would win in a fight? Chuck Norris, or the robotic child in underpants who can fire a machine gun out of his anus?
