Not quite. He's already directed Reality Bites, The Cable Guy, Zoolander, and Tropic Thunder. Been around the block, this chap has.

To clarify; you disapprove of the use of/portrayal of witches as female in all media then? If so, I have no quarrel with you. Don't get me wrong, I disagree with your conclusion, but I appreciate your line of reasoning.

The key difference being that vampires aren't inextricably linked with Judaism, werewolves aren't inextricably linked with black people and/or slavery, and daemons aren't inextricably linked with a medieval concept of Sodomites. And that really is the crux of the argument here. No matter how...

I'd written out a whole response here before realising what the inherent problem with this argument is: we're confusing our definitions of "average". You're essentially arguing past each other because you're operating under different assumptions of what "average" means/should mean. Anyway...

There's plenty of supplementary material by Tolkien himself, not to mention widely recognised artwork by artists such as John Howe and Alan Lee (both of whom were subsequently concept artists on the film trilogy). There's plenty for these guys to work with, even without directly referencing the...

I assume the answer you're looking for here is not "because the games are by the same developer"? Hear hear. At first I thought Dectilon's post was sarcastic, and maybe it was, but we won't find out now unless they post again. However, at least Trogz explained their line of argument...

Hear hear. Is it any wonder that history noobs aggravate history nerds?

Part 2 comes out July 2011. So unless they re-release Part 1 to coincide with Part 2 (which, admittedly, isn't far-fetched), it won't still be in cinemas.

Have you seen the film? If not I suggest doing so; that comment will then make far more sense to you.

You clearly know a fair bit about music, but I'm bemused by your bashing of "emo". Surely with your knowledge of hardcore, punk and hardcore punk you know about "real emo". I don't mean to get into a debate, since it's even further off-topic, and I hope I don't sound ridiculously...

For professional quality.

Exactly. In their four characters they're representing different angles on socio-sexual views and experience in young adults. It doesn't appear to be pro-marriage any more than anti-marriage. And this definitely isn't the place to get into a deep debate on the virtues and vices of abstinence.

So any game that is primarily designed as a multiplayer experience should instead be an MMO? Borderlands works well with 2-4 people, and rightly so. That's not even to mention how difficult it would be (if even possible) to turn a co-operative FPS into an MMO. It wasn't supposed to draw a...

So you would say the same of MMOs? Borderlands was designed as a co-operative experience, that fact is by no means secret. Expecting its single player to stand alone is like expecting the Blitzball in FFX to carry the whole game; it wasn't intended by the developers and isn't expected by...
