ooh--yeah, it was raiden. how could you omit it from the list? not that anyone is reading this thread anymore, but...THE INJUSTICE is killing me...
btw, i hated zaxxon, approximately as much as i hate hitting my head on a low doorframe.
very inspiring! if only i had time to waste (pixels) i'd go out and buy some of the newer games that are high on the list.
i used to play an arcade game--i think it was called zaxxon--that i was surprised not to see. it might have been called something else. but it featured a bird's eye view of your ship and ground scrolling beneath. you were presented with oncoming meanies, and when you shot them, you got weapon upgrades (or downgrades, if you didn't know what to pick)...then at the end of each level there was a baddie.
on second thought it wasn't called zaxxon. i think zaxxon was some kind of skewed-perspective game that i hated.
That's right mfpb, but the conservatives ARE stupid enough to believe that the Bible would be "banned".
If you recall, conservatives are the ones responsible for book burnings. Unlike conservatives, "liberals" are actually known to Advocate public discourse on the nature of existence. This discourse, when it hits the topic of the Bible, naturally devolves into "the problem" of the faithful interrupting "the solution" of the discourse.
Were that religious conservatives ever allowed for such a process of public discourse (instead of their lone preacher throwing around moral judgments and accepting money for it), there would need not be any "banning" per se. The Bible would perish out of a collective shrugging-off of so much useless old skin.
humans are puppy terrorists--the innocent should not be persecuted and tortured, nor made to perform services under duress, such as "sit!" , or "lick this peanut butter off!"
if anyone is uncertain as to WHY this wedding is NOT appalling or sad, it is because those stormtrooper suits are HOT.
sorry mom, but they beat the pants off tuxxes.
humans created hamlet. therefore it is not a valid test of chance operations.
this guy obviously does not understand the first thing about the tendency of carbon bonds to produce complex molecules....
nor the idea that complexity is not the same thing as intelligence...
but we are used to the fundies and their wee obsessions, and we must allow for their little tantrums so that they don't go and murder us all.
i didn't bother looking for the ad. the thing lacked substance, but i liked the crappy compositing and thought the actors / models were good. sometimes it takes the pressure or incentive of exposure to get good screen presence. the whole didn't live up to the pretentious title, but it had enough well-made eye candy, and the fake art vibe was better than so many people's "real" art vibe.
so what does this teach us? commercial art sucks, but so does "real" art.
well, since NO ONE took this link AT ALL seriously, i will now (in the archive) state in no uncertain terms: LAME, LAME, LAME.
you are NOT funny. you are tired and tedious. get over yourself. blah.
