  1. I generally hate the idea that Family Guy is a Simpson's ripoff, on the basis the if you say that, then every animated TV show about a family with a not-so-bright father is a ripoff of the other, the exception being The Flintstones, which in itself was an animated ripoff of The Honeymooner's set in prehistoric times. I prefer Family Guy over The Simpsons. Yes, it's getting old, but goddamn, the jokes that Family Guy come up with are hysterical, I don't care how many times it's beating a dead horse. The Simpson's on the other hand, at least in my view, looks like they're trying to convey some kind of moral message, followed up with a side story of somebody's zany adventure. And also, to the people saying that the Griffins are a ripoff of The Simpsons, let's examine the family members: Homer vs Peter: Both are idiots. Both are drunks. Peter embraces his male neighbors, Homer hates his. Peter is a prodigy when it comes to 80's pop trivia, while Homer just fucks it up somehow. Marge vs Lois: Lois is incredibly adventurous, promiscious, and open minded, while Marge just sees something she doesn't like and does that "mmmmhhhhhhhhh". Bart vs Chris: One's 10, the other's 14/15. Chris stays out of trouble, Bart worships it. Lisa vs Meg. Lisa is a genius, Meg is obbsessed with her social life (or lack thereof). Lisa eventually has sex as implied by future episodes (...Milhouse....Ralph ), while Meg becomes a transgendered. Maggie vs Stewie. Ok, both are infants. One just sucks a pacifer, the other is psychotic and brilliant. Yes, ripoff indeed. Santa's Little Helper vs Brian. .....nothing should be said. So then, must The Simpson's have the absolute monopoly on being an animated TV show where the starring roles is a family? No, it shouldn't. Despite ER still running, I have yet to hear how House rips off of it. If you like one and not the other, fuck it. They don't rip off of eachother, just let it be. And you're going to cry ripoff, let's remind ourselves that how many themes in literature are constantly recycled off another one? Exactly.
  2. Hit 31 earlier tonight....... Waiting to hit 35 so I can get Artisan Engineering... Then it's on to the mount! Also have to respec my mage >_
  3. Well, in my experience, it's mainly the kids that are the pricks. In fact, earlier tonight, I'm in Thunder Bluff about to head to Camp T... "Hey, I need your help" **Invites to group** **Declines** Me: With? Goob: a quest Me: What Quest? Goob: I need support Me: WHAT QUEST Goob: Neeru Fireblade Me: Just talk to him. Goob: My friend said I'd be killed. Me: You will, if you go into Ragefire. ......... Yeah, I hate level 9 guys asking me to go into instances. Aside the fact that they're too weak, they just want a quick fix. Anyways, yeah, I'm proud of my mage so far. Level 23, 141 in Enginering, and all the talents are in Frost...
  4. You also have to consider the fact that with particularly big movies, like Spiderman and Pirates, the company behind the film does not want the story leaked out, so they purposely hold back details to the plot. Movies and video games just really don't make a good combination; either turning one into a video game or vice-versa. Exceptions are things like T2: The Arcade Game and uh....yeah. You want an awful video game based on a movie, I suggest Days of Thunder on the NES..... :thumbsdown:
  5. I've been playing this for the lsat 10 days, hence limited posting on here. In that time, I've used 3 characters; Orc Hunter, Orc Warrior, and a Troll Mage. The mage has been my favorite thus far. I just....absolutely hate the alliance characters. Too many kids playing it. I'm playing on Bladefist if anybody wants to look me up; typically, I'm on under "Khalima" (my mage). Level 16 and moving up.
  6. Cyberdemon at the end of episode 2 in Doom... Just this "ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Hey, what's that" **5 rockets fly** ..."Son of a bitch!" Kefka's tier at the end of Final Fantasy VI. And my all time favorite, Jaden Korr vs Kyle Katarn, the dark side battle at the end of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
  7. That's not a guilty pleasure! The Wizard was awesome. "AHHHHHHHHHH, HE TOUCHED MY BREASTS!" Classic. As far as guilty plesures.... Kickboxer Bloodsport Death Warrant Street Fighter Time Cop Lionheart Sudden Death Yeah, I have a soft spot for Van Damme movies.
  8. They survive because the script says so.
  9. Well, see, the interesting thing is, we have no way of knowing that Nathan died. It could be possible, that given the height he had to take to avoid real disatrous results for New York (and most of the US, due to EMP), he dropped Peter, and zoomed away. The explosion wasn't that big, in terms of a nuclear explosion, so he could've gotten away, depending on how fast he flew.
  10. I thought that he was actually the cockroach because you know, incase the bomb went off, cockroaches survive nuclear disaster theories? No, I don't think he has that power....yet
  11. Well....read if you want to know the truth...
  12. Awesome Ryan gets the job = Gold. It was kind of freaky to see him smile though
  13. It could still be very possible that DL is dead, regardless if he is in hiding or not (regarding the future); bear in mind that Sylar shifted into Nathan, he could possibly become other people and infiltrate what's Primatech and kill him. It woldn't be too hard.
  14. Ted didn't die when he went nuclear. I assume Sylar won't either.
  15. Thus, the finale is set to begin. So far, everything ties right ot the future. No more Linderman, though = :thumbsdown: Next week should be great, after all these weeks of build up.
  16. Life Force MegaMan 2 That is all.
  17. Great, another Terminator film that completely ignores the set universe created by James Cameron. I absolutley hated T3, it is an insult to anybody that saw Terminator and T2, and anybody that says they liked it are in reality in deep denial. This includes Ah-nold. There might be SOME hope due to the idiots that made T3 not being involved. However, it is my personal feelings that the series should stop at 3, regardless of how horrid it was. I mean, c'mon, we have Judgment Day for fuck's sake, what else is there to know? The resistance wins, that's stated in the first movie, so there's really no point in stretching it out another three movies. Although.... One small thing, and this is part of a possible paradox. Reese simply states in the first film that he was born after the war, which at the time was post August 29, 1997. So, if Judgment Day happens in 2004 (in which T3 was set, even though it was released in 2003), it is plausible that given the new surroundings, that Reese may have been killed during Judgment Day. So, if Reese is possibly dead....then who knocks up Sarah? Of course, the damn writers will probably just throw Reese in anyways
  18. Let's be fair guys. We're all in this together now. Access to this board = From a Computer First platform to have GTA = PC ....DUM DUM DUM! On the other hand, if Jack Thompson use's a PC, he's promoting murder simulations. If Jack Thompson rides in a car, he's promoting murder simulations because GTA is obviously focused on cars
  19. Tonight's episode was pretty bland, IMO. Really, NOTHING happened at all, and the confrontation between Hiro and Sylar was worthless. At least it's nice to see George Takei coming back for at least one more episode. Also, one thing interesting; Peter talks to Eric Roberts, and Matt, Ted and Bennet all show up in New York the day after? Methinks Mr. Bennet might be doing a possible double cross or something.
  20. Contary to your opinion, donation does not stop the law from being enforced. I know....:(

  21. And that could only lead to a time paradox wherein Sylar goes back in time, eats the brains of a powered person back then and inadvertantly brings about the death of civilisation. But my God that Sylar would be broken and awesome. Well, going by strict Back to the Future logic, that whole episode led to a parodox the minute Ando found out he died in New York. Now he faces the problem of A) Saving his own ass and staying away from New York on that day, or B) Going to New York, knowing that he's dead. Come to think of it, here's the big flaw I see in Future Hiro trying to save the world. Hiro has figured out that one of the things to avert is saving Claire. Okay. But wouldn't this be a tad easier? Hiro goes BACK to New York before Sylar finds out how special he is, kills Sylar, and there you go. Future averted, no Sylar, lots of other people are still alive. You can still have the exploding man thing.... Then again, it wouldn't be much of a series
  22. Actually, Alice's Resturant really springs to mind... It's something ungodly, like 15 minutes long, and most of it is Arlo Guthrie speaking.
