Do you mean Ermey as the actor or Ermey playing Hartman from Full Metal Jacket?

WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION?! DID YOUR PARENTS NOT LOVE YOU ENOUGH WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?!

...what does it say about me that I consider the first half of FMJ to be a comedy?

Hey, same here. "BULLSH*T! I'LL BET YOU CAN SUCK A GOLF BALL THROUGH A GARDEN HOSE!" I call it the best war movie ever because it tramples the line between seriousness and comedy with such ease. No other war movie has done that (except maybe Apoc Now, I haven't seen it).

I don't know if Apocalypse Now so much tramples the line as proves that there is no line, just a gigantic gray area which it spends the entire movie in. I always feel like I should go out and pick flowers and sing happy songs with birds and squirrels afterwards just to restore the balance in my personal universe. (kind of like how I feel about the Fallout games, come to think of it.)

So basically it succeeded in doing what Catch 22 and Thin Red Line tried to do but failed?

Catch-22 the book or movie? Because the book succeeded handily in accomplishing the task. I've never seen Thin Red Line so can't comment.

Movie. I really want to read the book, though. Was it good?

What game is he developing?

And I've never heard of this guy, but if he's giving away free games, then yay for us gamers.

I don't know what he's developing now, but he headed the development of the God of War franchise for I & II, as well as wrote the script for III.

I would keep an eye peeled, the dude knows how to make top notch software.

This seems like a high-profile version of those long, long "I AM QUITTING MYSPACE/FACEBOOK/LIVEJOURNAL/DEVIANTART/GAIAONLINE FOREVER!!!!11ONE" posts that the children throw up every time they come across a wee bit of internet drama.

 

[Pendragon9]

Seems surprisingly awesome. Unlike the internet drama I often see around the internet, this guy's putting his money where his mouth is.

I like those odds. He's nowhere near as bad as Kaz Hirai though.

In all fairness nobody can ever be as bad as Kaz Hirai.

Cammie Dunaway?

I would.

Hit her with a barbed wire bat.

The book is excellent. The movie is...a movie based on a book.

How did this go anyway? I stopped caring and didn't find out if he made it.
