Overall I found the only reason I couldn't get myself to continue playing VG was simply the lack of a playerbase for an otherwise amazing game. I wasn't even bothered so much by the bugs in the game at launch to tell you the truth. They were expected, as every MMO has them.

With that said, I recently found copies of VG on Amazon for under $10, and have ordered 4 copies for me and 3 friends to play the game together.

As stated, pretty much any ska band.

As an alternative, Sonic Boom Six, a band from somewheres in the UK is an awesome Reggae/Punk/Ska/Hip-Hop combo with some pretty sweet horn action in a lot of their songs.

Wait a second... Has there ever been an MMO that DIDN'T have good random item drops?

I doubt they'll do any of this. Otherwise there would've been an oldschool SWG server up long ago.

Generally as long as I have at least SOME fun with it, I'd consider it worth the purchase. There have been few MMOs that kept me for over that first months subscription... I played The Realm for 3 years, AO for about a year, and WoW off and on for 2 years.

The only time I'll consider a game not worth the purchase is when I install it and find a huge steaming pile of shit installed on my PC.

Could any of you Ron Paul cultist nutters please provide one link... I'm just asking for ONE... That gives a description from Ron Paul on HOW he's going to execute all these wonderful plans he's got. I could run for president and promise everyone free everything forever, but without a plan to execute that, the only people that would vote for me are the people that are voting for Ron Paul in this year's election.

And to those of you jumping on the "But he's such a good man" or "I trust everything he says!" bandwagon, that most likely (we've seen it plenty before) that he's just a good politician. Not "Good" as in he does right by everybody, I mean he's just good at what he does. Its just like sales... I can rip you off and make you leave my store thinking I gave you a fantastic deal, and you'll refer me business later etc. etc. if I'm good at sales. Politics is the same thing.

 

 

I've only seen totally retarded arguments against Ron Paul, you've not even looked into his claims yet you make claim after claim based on lies you conjure up about him, that's idiotic.

Even you use the word "claims" when referring to Ron Paul. This doesn't really say much against my point. And please point out one "lie" I made about Ron Paul. All I did was make a generic statement about politicians. Spin it however you want, Paul definitely has a great PR crew working for him, but at the end of the day he's still a politician... Doctor or not.

The way you guys go on it seems you don't even know how your country is actually run just listen to whatever mainstream media tells you. 

I don't watch TV news stations nor do I read the newspaper, nor do I "listen to whatever the mainstream media tells" me, but make all the baseless claims that you want.

Some vids.

Each vid is an hour or so.

May check into this later, but if all I see is more of what I've seen of Ron Paul (I've had this guy shoved down my throat for the last several months) and its all "what I'm gonna do" instead of "this is what I'm gonna do, and how I'm gonna do it",  you'll just have furthered my point again.

Has anyone seen any of the online websites or videos about the world ending in 2012?    Sounds like some interesting information, but some of it can be just plain supposition and conjecture. I have a co-worker who is talking about this all the time and want to know what all of your comments are.

Check out the below links for a few of his sources:

Kinda surprised you didn't end your post with "Vote Ron Paul 2008!"

It amazes me that someone would make a thread just to ask this question. Simply go to one of hundreds of gaming websites, or google for that matter, type in Mass Effect, and voila! You have the answer!

Games that don't have trials are either: A) Too new. B) Too crappy.

I'm sure VG is making money with people buying the game due to the fact that there is no trial. A lot of people will just say screw it, it's 19.99 and they pick it up. I did this, and as soon as I entered I realized why there was no trial. The game is crap, tbh. Most games that have trials DO NOT have a "Trial Island". This is being created to hook people in. If the game was good, there would be no need. They would just have them make their char's like everyone else and start with everyone else. This is not the case, as the VG team is going to try to hide the utter crappiness of their title with their "island". But yea, have fun. Once you buy it you will be kicking yourself.

 

*EDIT* I have a buddy key if you wanna see what the games like, MSG me and ill send it to you.

A: Bad launch

B: Nobody to play with

I tried VG just a bit after launch and thought the game was really good looking and fun to play, despite a few bugs that are to be expected in a new MMO (nothing gamebreaking I might add). The only thing that made me stop playing was just the absolute lack of anyone to play with. The world being so massive actually worked against them in this aspect, as there are somewhere in the realm of 20 starting areas, which can definitely make a game that had a bad launch seem pretty desolate.

I'm very confident in saying that once VG gets their trial system in place so people can try out the game without paying at first, the game will make somewhat of a comeback and be viable to play again by then, because there will finally be people to group with.

While I certainly think Tolkien was one of the most creative writers of all time, I wasn't a big fan of his writing style, always seemed kinda dull. There are other fantasy novels I enjoyed much, much more than LoTR. I did enjoy the movies though.

I still want Jackson to direct more horror movies. Dead Alive 2 would kick some serious ass

Well for one he's never said a word about HOW he's going to do any of this. No plans laid out that I've seen. All it is is empty promises unless he can give something concrete, or even a theory for that matter.

When I go back to visit my hometown me and a buddy are going to go skydiving in memory of a buddy of ours that died in a plane crash a couple months ago going to go skydiving. Was his favorite thing to do. I've never been.

And post of the thread thus far goes to you. Maniac cop just because anything with Bruce Campbell is a win, flight of the living dead was fantastic (seriously, zombies on a fucking plane!). Actually out of this list these are the only 2 I've seen but I like your taste so I'll be looking into the rest!

 

To everyone else

Meh I've seen most of these. I'm more thinking along the lines of recent cheesy horror flicks. Dagon is a great movie, saw that fairly recently actually. Brotherhood of the Wolves was also good, wouldn't really call it a horror movie so much though. I'm not so much into the Japanese style horror, they're either too slow/boring or just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay the fuck out there (anyone whose seen Tetsuo the Iron Man knows what I'm talking about).

Keep this thread going though. I know theres some love for the horror genre in these forums. Also since we're on the subject of horror here anyways, if anyone's got some good horror novel suggestions I'm open to that as well. I don't read too many novels and I read thrillers/sci-fi as well as fantasy, and to be honest with a few exceptions the only horror books I've read were all from Stephen King.

Also I'm a fan of just about all horror except for lame teen slasher flicks (Scream, IKWYDLS, etc.), but zombies always are a win in my book.

If you really are a Stephen King fan.... then you must immediatly go see "Mist" !!! 

(.. before it leaves theaters..)

I've made it a personal rule for myself to not see movies based on books. The book is always too much better and makes the movie seem like complete shit

Yeah Killer Klownz is classic too. Gonna have to find that DVD sometime.

I've been sick and doing nothing but watch movies for the last 2 days. Haven't spent this much time on the couch in ages. Mostly just horror movies

So far its been...

Boy Eats Girl -Typical teen zombie movie really, but still decent

Altered - Surprisingly good alien flick

Freddy Vs. Jason - Well I think everyone but me had seen this one already

Halloween 2007 - So much better than what I'd expected from hearsay. I love the way Rob Zombie actually gave character to Michael Myers, the first hour of the movie with him as a kid was actually the better half of the movie

Sleepaway Camp - From all the people suggesting this one to me I was really unimpressed. Shock ending maybe, but still a terrible movie, and I still thought the ending sucked

Survive Style 5+ - Not a horror movie, but an amazingly awesome Japanese movie all the same

Silent Night Deadly Night - Alright oldschool slasher starring a kid in a santa suit!

The Bone Snatcher - Slow paced but decent movie about a monster in the desert.

Anyone know any good zombie books? It seems so few horror novels are on zombies and its my favorite horror subgenre. The only one I've read in recent memory was Stephen King's Cell.

Bad Taste

Braindead

 

 

Yes! Braindead is pretty much the best zombie movie ever, and Bad Taste was fucking great considering it was pretty much made in Jackson's back yard.

Well since EA owns Bioware now, Id just go ahead and expect a mediocre game (although heavily advertised) with TONS of in game advertising. Yup I'm real excited for whatever comes from this.
