Further JO'age, a wonderful moment in doom_detention (thanks to Wavebird's Stormtrooper Script at http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/jedi_outcast_stormtrooper.txt):

Trooper A: "So you want to become a TIE Fighter pilot?"
Trooper B: "Yeah, this is just a pit stop on the way."
Trooper A: "Well, you better know your stuff. Who designs and builds them?"
Trooper B: "Siennar Fleet Systems, that's easy."
Trooper A: "How much cargo can they carry?"
Trooper B: "Not much."
Trooper A: "Well give me a number!"
Trooper B: "I don't know."
Trooper A: "You better! You put in your full attack gear and you're getting
shot down."
Trooper B: "That pack can't weigh more than 100 kilograms."
Trooper A: "Try 70. You don't want to put more than 65 in your TIE."
Trooper B: "Really?"
Trooper A: "Yeah, hotshot."
Trooper B: "You ever fired those dual-fire-linked laser cannons?"
Trooper A: "I've never flown one."
Trooper B: "Then what the Sithspit are you talking about?"
Trooper A: "You got to know these things if you're going to pilot it!"
Trooper B: "Well how do you know?"
Trooper A: "I remember everything."
Trooper B: "Ha, sure you do. What's my call number?"
Trooper A: "......."

Look ma'! i got a new Custom Title!
WOOO!
Although doesn;t the colour go against the sig rule? I thought that applied to titles too.
Oh well atleast it aint the old one i hated that thing.

Empire Earth
The fact that rather then just staying still and shooting at eachother [Starcraft and Galactic Battlegrounds are GRAND examples of this]they actually participate in dogfights.

First: Titles can have colour if JG (Because he's so much better than MB) wants them too


Second: Welcome to every RTS from the past 9 years.
"Jayne, this is something the Captain has to do for himself"

"N-No it's not!"

"Oh."

Hahaha, it's changed like twice now.

You should make it say "LOOK I HAVE DOWNS," in red and have a downs frown.

What the hell does MB got to do with them??

:ninja:
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

Well can you atleast not make it BRIGHT RED? Its a bit distracting.
Oh well its still a zillion times better then the last one.
2006-10-31, 12:30 PM #48
Fixed


EDIT: I'm fine with it being distracting. Distraction from your posts = good

What? Whats fixed?

He probably called you a useless pile of tirds or something.


Or made fun of you for having downs. Or mentioned how you should have been aborted.
2006-10-31, 12:43 PM #51
No I was talking about my post before JG.


But now that I'm here: "Har har you have downs :saddowns:"
"Jayne, this is something the Captain has to do for himself"

"N-No it's not!"

"Oh."

Yeah, there were a couple of good conversations to listen in on in JO. It always made me feel evil, though... listening to my victims talk before I murdered them. On a related note, remember the one stormie who said something on the order of: "Oh yeah, jedi? I ran into a couple of them on ____. Took out about three of them myself. They're not that tough." Followed, of course, by more saber decapitation... It never ends.

So, little things. How about Full Throttle? Say, the whole game. Such meticulous attention to detail- very few games have had me that involved since. In my opinion, The Neverhood could win this same award. (And if you've never played it, find yourself a copy and do so, for chrissakes!)

Oblivion- I'd have to say that the open-endedness and overall unguided feeling of this game is the best part. A game where I can ignore the main quest for as long as I choose in order to pursue a life of crime while still somehow keeping myself on everyone's good side? Sign me up! (Seriously, I bust a gut every time a guard smiles and greets me pleasantly despite the fact that I've robbed innumerable houses and castles.)

Halo- The fresh concept of being that guy who's the toughest there is, but still being just as vulnerable as the best of the enemy's soldiers. That and the abililty to use the game's combat system to fit my style.

Oni- The eclectic combat system where guns took a back seat to martial arts, but were still useful if applied effectively. There need to be more games like that.


Edit:

Aargh, I forgot about EVE Online. It didn't have enough of the right kind of content to merit my shelling out 15 USD a month for it, but the whole thing still astounds me. The representation of space in particular- no other game has portrayed it in such a way: a true forlorn wasteland populated by various objects of little interest seperated by mind-boggling distances. And I don't think I ever quite got tired of warping through a system at 6 Au/sec and watching its star zip past.

Well as im playing through SoF [The demo] and i heard some say "stop screaming!" to a hostage, Me being my evil ol self threw a knife into the back of the hostages head. Then i shotgunned the gangsta and half his freaking head came off. Twas quite a sight.

The dialogue amongst minions and henchmen when you've got them spooked, or sometimes just random banter (many games).
