Already smashed international sales records, and though it didn't come close to beating Deathly Hallows Part 2's midnight release sales, it's going to destroy its opening weekend sales record, projected to make close to $200 million, on top of the nearly $400 million it has already made from international sales.

Eh, yeah, my computer had the Shareware for like the first quarter of it. My relative lack of enjoyment from shooting people tempered my resolve against most FPS games as time wore on.

I was actually allowed to play Doom before Wolfenstein because you didn't shoot people in Doom.

(shut up they were zombies)

Dune 2 is known for being the first game that can be classified as an RTS

That's what I thought, I'm just not as well versed in the genre.

Feel like playing some again(or some I might have missed, having to decide which ones.

And I might do a ranking topic on them later.

Does it come with the WiiMotion+ thing?

I can never tell if you're ignorant or deliberately obtuse, especially when you respond to me by linking the game I cited.

I know what you linked, I was providing hard evidence.

I fail to see how it's ignorant or obtuse when I just completely proved my claim - unless you can provide an RTS released earlier than Dune II(It may exist but I've never heard of one).

that's because I was playing rts games when I was younger, not fps games

Except the RTS Genre didn't exist when Wolf 3D came out.

are you telling me that I never played this at a friend's house



and are you telling me that the dozens of games that came before dune 2 didn't exist

There was one Dune game that led up to it, and several that had elements, but this was the first true RTS game:

And that came out in December 92 - Wolf 3D was May 92.

Triangle was a head/viewpoint for looking around.

Square was a piece of paper designed to be used for menus.

Circle and X were designed to represent "yes" and "no".

Easily the best scene.

I was never a huge Beastie Boys fans, but I always had much respect for them. This is sad :(

what about Die Hard?

balls to the wall pure action/suspense movie like Taken.

Up!

That actually was not the intent of the topic, but once it got there I couldn't NOT praise Taken.

The only excuse is if you are attempting a balls to the wall pure action/suspense movie like Taken. Seriously, it was so goddamn good.

LOL. I've actually been to this board before and it seemed like you all have a close-knit community here. And yes, Mass Effect 3 is awesome. Actually beat it, and I am not playing a far inferior game by the name of Alan Wake.

Alan Wake inferior?

Get out.

Also, if they pull the whole "runs out of webbing" plot device I'm going to punch something.

I can't picture them NOT doing it.

Well, I mean if they pull it in a significant manner or something.

Stupidest plot device ever >.>;

Looks decent, at least.

Still won't be satisfied until we get Kraven in one of the movies, though.
You won't be satisfied for a while then. Kraven's awesome but unless we go back to the three villains a movie deal, it's going to be a while. Someone will insist that we get crap like Scorpion, Vulture, and Rhino out of the way first.

Vulture was already almost done(and it sounded amazing from what we've heard), and Scorpion would be amazing if done right.

Garfield looks a LOT better in this trailer - this is the first time I've really liked him.

But I don't know about the plot. The small part given that it could be pulled off just fine is that I don't like the whole "suspenseful conspiracy" slant to it. I really don't like that Connors seems to be being turned into some evil genius or something. But that interpretation could be entirely wrong.

However, they seem to be packing a hell of a lot into this movie, and I get the feeling it's going to be rushed as hell. Origin story, personal tragedy, villain creation and fight, random thug fights, big reveal to the girlfriend, etc etc.

I don't think the movie is going to be good, but I could be wrong and I feel that if I am it's going to be incredible.

You've never been friendzoned, and if you're friendzoning people you have some massive issues to work around.


1 - Life accomplishments while pushing 30 include "community college undergrad" and "cashier".
2 - Not smart enough to hide personal info from the people he trolls -- which speaks to that whole community college thing, and this guy being in any education program helps show why American children are so dumb.
3 - Claims the friendzone doesn't exist.
4 - Claims others have issues when this topic makes the truth rather clear.
5 - Pretty obvious from that picture why he gets rejected by women.

This is the prototypical beta male, my friends. Take notes so you don't end up 30 with nothing relevant in your life outside trolling some half-dead gaming forum.
Man, good thing Ulti deleted me on facebook. Wouldn't want him to do this to me.

Haha that's the thing, he got deleted ages ago for creeping out one of my friends, and he's been saving that image ever since.

Ulti counts dudes in his 200 = confirmed!

Also I don't get why being 30 is an argument towards this. Didn't you also say you were married for 7 years? That puts you back at 23, legal drinking age is 21, and no one below legal drinking age really cares that much about money (or has any) when sizing up a potential penis.

Unless you're a cheater, in which case you deserve no respect at all.

Man it is SO easy to lie on the internet!

I....

Uhhhh.....

God dammit, we were so happy with the stupidest things in the topic as it was. Why did you have to go and show them up -_-

Grocery stores, gay bars, the gym and concerts are the best places.

I can actually see any of those except concerts, but that must be because I typically go to smaller venues where conversations are damn near impossible.

Roomie got them, I don't have the money right now so probably won't be going :(

Speaking of Dalmatians though, I like never see them. The last time I saw one was like 10-11 years ago. I see plenty of Pitbulls, Boxers, and Huskies though. Then of course a bunch of lab breeds, occasional Bulldogs and Chow Chow's, pugs, and other small dogs like Chihuahuas.

Buncha people have Great Danes too where I live, German Shepards as well. Are Dalmations even a popular breed?

I don't see a huge amount anymore, but I know a few. There are a lot of issues with them outside of the aggression - inbreeding gave them several severe health issues sadly :/

Sorozone posted...
No breed is naturally dangerous, people are just stupid and neglect them and problems can arise.

Dalmatians are dangerous if you neglect them, they are big, agile and strong dogs, with a powerful jaw, they need exercise. If you neglect this aspect, it can get agitated and irritated and may retaliate in a response you may find undesirable, this can be said about any dog that is of the same build.

They are also very loyal dog, and like other loyal dogs, they need to be taught who is friend, and who isn't a friend. Some dogs can get very aggressive with that(Dalmatians are not all that naturally aggressive), and may get very upset if they see someone or something they do not recognize.

I would go on to say that it's usually 90% of the owners fault if their dog attacks someone. Yes that is a statistic I just made up.

I also speak from experience, my Akita, Ridgeback mix is the chillest dog like ever, but if he doesn't get his exercise he gets pissed off.

Like I said, most of the natural "aggression" in Dalmations is due to the high prevalance of deafness - not really the dog or owner's fault, and if they know about it the dog can certainly still be very sweet, and will never bite if trained properly. I've got nothing against the breed personally, despite those few genetic traits they have sweet personalities.

Horrible little devils. If 101 Dalmations were 101 Pitbulls nobody would have thought Cruella was a villain.

It's funny because Dalmations are actually one of if not the most dangerous breeds.

data ?

I don't have a website handy, but it's all common knowledge you can look up easily.

The first issue is that they're extremely high energy dogs, and when not properly exercised that excess energy tends to turn into aggression.

The second, and much bigger, issue is that they have a HUGE rate of deafness. Due to the piebald gene that gives them their spots, roughly 1/3 of them are born at least partially deaf, which can make them a lot more skiddish and a lot more prone to unpredictable aggression if they aren't trained properly.

Though really, you can meet girls anywhere. Doesn't just have to be bars, it really depends on uhhh what you do outside of studies and school. I just said Grocery store, because I imagine you go to one every once in a while, but I've meet plenty of girls just from walking my dogs, going on runs, going to lift weights, among other things.

I mean, they are everywhere, just go to talk to one.

Pretty much.

Although tbqh your best bet on where to meet girls is somewhere that you're likely to have similar interests. Parties with friends, bookstores, game shops on the rare occasion, etc etc. Just go and talk to them, it's not hard.

I disagree with pretty much any B8 post ... saying "don't put women on a pedestal" etc etc,

This is true though. You shouldn't put anyone on a pedestal. Not only is it stressful towards the person, but you really ought to have respect for yourself as well. Now I'm all for being respectful towards anyone as long as they return the same respect towards me. Even if they don't I prefer being the better man and not stooping to their level, but you don't need to worship a woman to get with her.


If you want to praise anyone go ahead, but remember they're just as human as you are.

Pretty much this. There's a difference between being sweet to someone and worshipping. Women like nice guys - it's the guys that put themselves at their beck and call that they don't, even moreso the ones that practically grovel at their feet.

/hug

But yeah, gotta laugh at all the generalizations on women from people who really have no idea what you're talking about. That's pretty much all these discussions come down to tbqh.

I personally do not stick my **** in anything below a 7.

I will though, and I'll like it to. I mean 6 is above average, ain't nuthin' wrong with that. Actually ain't much wrong with a 5 either. Well actually 4 is kinda... but sure 10's are nice too. Honestly if she has big boobs then what do the numbers even mean, I'm set.

I disagree with pretty much any B8 post containing the word "beta", and of course any post saying "don't put women on a pedestal" etc etc, plenty of chicks like nice guys who are genuinly nice, you don't have to be some kind of alpha badboy whatever cliche is being thrown around on here from time to time.

It's basically their way of excusing the fact that they're really just awful people tbqh.

We really need to start a page on the wiki on which we list every single topic that devolved into a beta/alpha argument.

The list would reach astounding lengths pretty damn fast.

And would involve the same bad users over and over I'm sure.

Why the hell are any of you responding to MWC?

There might not be a real "system" in place, but there's always civil court.

Apparently the victims don't even have court cases to save them most of the time. There are laws protecting everyone involved with the case(You cannot sue a cop, lawyer, judge, etc etc if he was doing his job) and most of the cases that do come up involve years of legal struggle with someone who is already burned on the system, assuming they can even find a lawyer who will represent them, and are rarely successful.

For people who want actual dating advice: http://heartiste.wordpress.com/


I'm... not sure if that's right for me. While I do want to avoid being used, manipulated, etc... it doesn't sit well with me the whole mistreating women thing pick up artists seem to do.


Though in my case what I need is more to the tune of "helpful notes for the future" since I've decided I'm not dating until I get some of my **** together. Still, I'd rather not go in blind.

Sounds like you're right where you need to be mindset wise. Or at the very least leagues more reliable for dating advice than Ulti will ever be.
