    Hydarnes: Leonidas, wait! Xerxes says that if you and your men lay down your arms, he will allow you to leave peaceably.

    Leonidas: [in Greek] Come and take them!

    Sony annoys me, like their "Universal Media" that only works on one thing...different ideas of "universal" I suppose

     

    No joke, man. The only thing worse than proprietary formats, like those stupid GBA headphones, is...

     

    :blink:

     

    uh...

     

    burning to death? That sounds bad.

    Not impressed. It looks like a glorified arcade exploder, like Heatseeker. Some would ask, "isn't that essentially what Strike Fighters is?". Well, no. SF is vastly more like a sim, even if it's a light sim. Still, arcade fighter games are fun. Example: Galaga. I guess this game will have to prove itself in the way it plays, and most importantly, how fun it is.

     

    Still, it's not released yet, so let's not review a game by its screenshots.

    I LOVE EmlD's Hanriot HD 1. F-16 Blk 60 is pretty awesome, great fun to fly. Brain32's WOV photoreal tileset is one of the best addons I've ever seen. Baltika's Operation Mountain Twilight is super fantastic, love the idea. There have been an enormous amount of addys to FE, I love them like my childrens. Zur's F/A-37 Talon is tons of fun, even though it explodes if you go too fast. The MF Weapons Pack is also great, I love the squeal when you get a heat lock. Max188's First Eagles Buildings are a joy, as is his wonderful winter terrain. There are tons and tons more that are super great that I haven't the energy to mention, all made by skilled and talented modders who have selflessly devoted many hours for the sake of us having fun. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

     

    Was not a fan of the whole stink with Diego.

    I think that's their only hope.

     

    No... there is another.

     

    And that is giving away promotional toys to win loyalty, like Hot Wheels Mach 5s or something.

    I would like snowfall. That would be nice. But you know what would be cool? The ability to bail out at low speed and altitude. You just may survive.

    Christina Ricci is playing Trixie. I'll put up with everything else to see her and the Mach 5. I think the guy that voiced Speed has a part in the film too.

     

    I will admit the Mach 5 is pretty cool. But Christina Ricci?! She has a face like a mutilated cantaloupe!

     

    Besides, a movie based on a children's cartoon has no need for sex appeal. Couldn't they just attract audiences by remaining faithful to the original work, thus creating another paradigm for Speed Racer that still reflects the creators' wishes?

     

    ...BAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! We all know THAT 'll never happen!

    Glad to hear your son is doing well, I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

     

    If I have my way, the a--hole who did this to your son should be bitch to a large, scary inmate known as "Big Bruce" and his prison buddies for most of his life.

    Duuuude! Man, I forgot all about the tinfoil! Yup, that and coat hangers for cryin out loud, LOL! I think in Albuqurque, we got all 13 channels and some UHF which I dont recall ever watching unless it had a cartoon.

     

    Ok, heres a story for you...I remember us watching Star Trek when it first came out on a black and white. There was the Ed Sullivan show, Sunday afternoon science fiction theater with all the best 50's B sci-fi, sesame street when it first came out for my little sister, and of course Johnny Quest and the bugs bunny-roadrunner hour for us big kids. We were happy little campers until that fateful Sunday afternoon when my dad takes us all over to one of his friends from work home. There, in all its technological wonder was a genuine High Fidelity color TV! We had heard of such things but never thought much of it until that day. For the first time ever, we saw Star Trek in all its colorful glory. I think I recall Spock actually bled green in one episode, lol. When we got home, our trusty old black and white just didnt seem to cut it anymore; we had been seduced by technology for the first of many more times to come. Two weeks later, Dad rolled in a hifi set just like his friends'! Saturday mornings took on a whole different flavor as we rolled out the hide-a-bed in the front room to eat our breakfast on as we watched cartoons. Evenings, we were allowed to watch Batman after supper before we had to tackle the dishes. Never forget Robin in his green tights...what a goober...just wasnt natural. And then of course Gilligans Island...Ginger and Maryann in all their colorful finery, on a desert island! Never did figure how they packed it all in a suitcase for a 3 hour trip. :blink: Aaaaah, the good ole days... :ok:

     

    The TV we used to use, and it's now the TV I'm using in my room, was my grandfather's when he was in still alive, albeit in a nursing home. He used to watch Wile E. Coyote cartoons with me when I was really little, so it's kind of a special TV set. When he died his possessions passed along to us, as he used his savings to pay off his bills and the rest went to several charities. Once we had that TV set (the old one was broken a month previous in a horror involving my brother practicing his chip shot) , I, being the youngest, was in charge of swiveling the rabbit ears around until we got a signal. We got 5 channels: 3, CBS; 8, NBC; 17, FOX; 41, ABC; and 52, PBS. On good days we could get channels 43, 50, and 64, too.

     

    A Circuit City salesman tried not to long ago to convince us that the unit will be worthless after the switch, and that we should buy a new one! The sale-fishing greaseball deserved a good boxing on the ears, even if he never got it.
