You know, it actually would be nice to create your own central character for a few GTA games, instead of having standard ones.

A few character customization options and voice packs would go a long way. Nothing much at first, just man/woman, race, short/medium/tall height, thin/fat and about five voice packs per sex.

JesusDeSaad commented on Finally, A Video Game Movie For Smart People Silent Hill was a good movie.

Still, I hope Bioshock lives up to the videogame's quality.

The director is a good choice I think.

JesusDeSaad commented on Decypher DC's White Board Of Doom Superman: Red or Blue?
pretty much refers to the Blackest Night storyline.
Superman and Superman Prime each get a power ring. Superman gets the blue ring that is powered by hope, Superman Prime gets a red power ring that is powered by rage.

Who wins? Red or Blue?

JesusDeSaad commented on Is Iron Man the Best Superhero Movie Ever? Yes it was. I just got back from the theater.
I tell you, I never applaud at the movies, but at the final half minute before the end titles, at the final words of Tony Stark, I burst out.
YEAAAH!

And I was with Cap during Civil War. Imagine that...

P.S. Long end titles are looong, but stay and watch what happens next. It's a treat.

JesusDeSaad commented on Video: BumBot, the Homeless-Fighting Robocop so, according to the people who applaud this article, if the target bums are assholes, they deserve to get sprayed by a robot. During Winter.

I presume because then they (the wet bum assholes) will have to leave law abiding citizens alone by leaving to change into some warm dry clothes and find some heated place.

You're totally right, I can't judge you because your city has a lot of bums and I don't know what it's like.

No wait...

JesusDeSaad commented on Video: BumBot, the Homeless-Fighting Robocop @hypereric:
so because one bum was an asshole let's treat all homeless people like dirty animals.

No, scratch that, if you did it to animals there would be Animal Control cops giving you a fine for animal cruelty.

So worse than animals.
Yeah, i totally get your point, you're right because there's a lot of bums in Florida.

JesusDeSaad commented on Video: BumBot, the Homeless-Fighting Robocop It's sad to see how little people value other people's lives, just because they can't afford a place to live.

JesusDeSaad commented on April 24, 1184 B.C.: First Trojan Horse Attack @kirby822:
by mistake. Many Trojans and Achaeans were actually closely related, some leaders had siblings in the opposing side. In truth, the actual word Greek was used to refer to only one Hellenic tribe/state (the Grecos), and over time all Hellenes were called Greeks.

See it this way: North and South America go to war. It is an American war. Both sides are on the same continent, no side is less or more American than the other. And yet the USA is the nation everyone else is used to calling Americans.

JesusDeSaad commented on April 24, 1184 B.C.: First Trojan Horse Attack Please get your facts right.
It was Achaeans who went inside the wooden horse.

The Trojan War was between the Achaean alliance and the Trojan alliance. Both alliances consisted primarily of Greek tribes. It was in essence a civil war between Western Greek tribes and Eastern Greek tribes.

JesusDeSaad commented on Priest Takes Off Using Party Balloons, GPS to Find God (Literally) Sorry, this seems like a farce to me. I saw an episode of Myth-Busters where they had to inflate more than 2500 balloons just to get a nine-year old girl off the ground.

A thousand balloons are simply not enough to lift up a grown man.

I can see what's coming next: Priest makes miraculous return from certain death journey thanks to his faith or some similar rubbish.

I'm betting in reality he's just hiding in his basement for a couple of days.

JesusDeSaad commented on Hey Hey They're The (Marvel) Monkeys DC did it already years ago, it was a major crossover about how Gorilla Grodd turned every human on the planet into an ape. JLApe and so on and so on.

It wasn't funny then, and I'm betting it's not gonna be funny now.

JesusDeSaad commented on The Crazy Scene You Won't See In "Wanted" well it wouldn't be professional for assassins, but it WOULD be professional for SUPER-VILLAINS. You know, as in the comic? Where there is none of that "kill one to save a thousand" crap?

Seriously, the only thing they seem to have kept from the comic are the names. Everything else has been discarded. And it's sad, really, because if they didn't want to make WANTED they could go and make another movie with original names.

Now if you'll excuse me I'll go read Bicycle Repair Man.

the PSP can currently play PS1, Genesis, SNES, gameboy, GBAdvance, older consoles like spectrum. AND play movies. And PSP games. And soon it gets Skype, which will make it sort of a wi-fi iphone.

Just for the record, I own a DS which I've pimped up to play homebrew etc. I don't own a PSP. But fair's fair, the DS may have been winning so far, but Sony is coming back to the game with a vengeance.

JesusDeSaad commented on Superman, Batman Face Their Mortality And Morality In Final Crisis Mark My Words:
After Final Crisis, Bruce Wayne finally becomes "too old for this shit".

It's been hinted in Morrison's Batman since issue 1. He gets a son. Then we get glimpses of a possible future where the son is Batman. Then a new villain is introduced, the King Of Crime, the theoretical villain Batman can't beat (who, my theory is, is really just Batman in a subconscious state). Then new posters left and right with Robin holding a dead or near-death Batman.

Too many old wounds? Too much pressure? Too much time passed? All of the above?

It all adds up. Batman will turn in the cowl and go [Batman Beyond] old Bruce Wayne.

BATMAN. IS. QUITTING.

most probable scenario: Batman quits completely, someone else takes the mantle, then when it seems the new Batman is over his head in trouble, Bruce Wayne steps in as mentor/base instructor via sound-link in the Batcave. He effectively becomes a new more aggressive Oracle.

Plus, check out the proposed Orphan Rights bill proposition for a complete distortion of the opposite view.
Or how if this bill passes in the name of so-called better copyright availability, companies and effectively the fastest and highest bidder will acquire the rights off any piece of art, be it music, film, paintings etc, simply because the original creator is unavailable for contact when they look for him/her.

@BasicBlack:
So semantically speaking (you did it first), a company that lays off its employees for reasons that are not the employees faults is effectively stealing from them. Yeah, how about judging them before you do the same to some kids? Why not sue them as well? I mean the companies CAN afford to pay fines, unlike kids who barely have weekly allowances.

JesusDeSaad commented on German Schoolboy Corrects NASA's Math - We're All Doomed um, even if the moon is there to stop the asteroid, an impact on the moon could:

A) if the asteroid hits the moon dead center, it would increase the size/mass of the moon, altering its course towards the earth. Seriously, if we cant stop an asteroid what chance do we have against the MOON?

B) if the asteroid hits the moon off-center, the moon's trajectory and rotational cycles would be altered exponentially, causing the moon to:

Bi) tighten its rotation and crash to earth. Try to stop the friggin MOON.

Bii) loosen its rotation and leave our planet. It's been stopping countless meteors from crashing onto the earth, prepare for meteor shower rains increased exponentially. Imagine what it will do to the atmosphere layers. Plus, Space 1999.

JesusDeSaad commented on NCsoft Shuts Down Illegal Servers actually net-cafe places that had private servers in Greece didn't charge money. You could log in and pay for the time you're using the computer and that's that. If you had a copy of the game you could even access the private server from home. While not paying a cent.

I understand why NCsoft would be upset from the loss of monthly revenue, but lying to make a problem seem worse doesn't really help their case.

JesusDeSaad commented on Earthlings' Next Home: Phobos? @Balius: insulated bodysuits with heavy metal fabrics in-between insulators are a good solution for decreased gravity. Yeah, most heavy metals are radioactive, but that's what the insulation is there for.

Actually I got a better idea, why not crash Phobos onto Mars? The added mass would make Mars gravity closer to our own, and the impact would generate enough energy and heat to raise the planet temperature and melt the poles, thus providing the planet with steam and water for plant life.

All we need is to give Phobos a good nudge at the right direction at the right time and gravity will do the rest. An antimatter bomb or two?

Very true. The twist was mind-bending. The only thing that ruined it was Marvel itself, refusing to keep Magneto dead, and instead did the whole dumb "That wasn't Magneto" routine. Morrisson kept it real during his run.

Whedon on the other hand has been writing stupid unending. His whole story could be compressed into three issues in the Morrisson era.
