Re: Fusion Power Baby!

Damn, this is going to cut into Australian uranium sales - what a drag. Word on the grapevine is that China's done a deal with General Electric for future parts and sales or whatnot, though I can't confirm it since it was supposedly mentioned on a chinese site (and I can't read chinese). I hate to ...

Re: That "last reply shit"? A LIE!

Opinion does not equate fact, it's just an excuse for stupid people to validate their shitty taste in stuff. Being of the opinion that Alien Vs. Predator is the best movie ever doesn't make it rightfully so. Being of the opinion that Miura is a better storyteller than Alan Moore doesn't make it so....

I've read Watchman/The Killing Joke/V for Vendetta and other Alan Moore works, but I don't like them as much as Berserk and for different reasons. Alan Moore is better at crafting stories than Miura is. Period. I'm only going to go in loops with this, but again, that's an opinion. You can't craft t...

I consider him to be an insanely talented storyteller and artist. He may even qualify as a genius, yes. Yes. As for the insanely craptastic debate going on here of "random artist versus random artist", talent can be argued differently on many factors. I've read Watchman/The Killing Joke/V...

action movies are supposed to have plot? Both Terminator movies have an amazing storyline. The chicken and the egg thing in the first one still leaves me scratching my head sometimes. Coincidentally, I bought Aliens the other day. Haven't seen it in a few years, but it can't be better than T2. EDIT...

One of the main reasons the Hellsing manga is taking so long is that (well, in comparsion to Berserk and last I checked) Hirano is practically begging for staff aid, being by his lonesome.

I personally think if they do decide to partner up, what they decide to release it on will ultimately decide the fate of the game. Going for consoles to appeal to the mainstream will result in a 3d fighter no doubt, but if they're trying to recreate what happened with the Marvel VS Capcom series (wh...

About a year ago my views on the coming console war were completely different.

But that's not happening now as I'v...
