Devicer recently picked up a few USB gamepads in a bundle, and I think I'll play with the one he gave me to see if it can be used as a controller for some vehicle functions in BF2... could be nifty.

Speaking of freaky movies, has anybody else seen the trailer for The Exorcism of Emily Rose?
Based on a true story. That's the scary part.

This question is complete idiocy, but its fine because it has nothing to do with muslims.

Did I offend you? Sorry, let me get some ointment for your vagina.

I think they just did not do the battling demons from hell things because not too long ago there was a movie about that…and it did really bad. It was called Gigili. In it our lone hero played by Ben Affleck battles a evil child of satan that come straight out of hell, Jennifer Lopez.

Yeah, I remember that one. I still have to sleep with the light on bcause of it.

I meant that they tried to "Christian" it up to try and get the more religous people to see it. I don't think you can attract them if you have a hell and demon fest.

Call me crazy…but the people who take Christianity so serious as to let that stop them still will have no trouble finding reasons not to watch it. It is based off a video games that makes our kids killers!!! What more would they need?

It did really bad, so it only makes sense to try and change it.

don't know I tend to think the whole Genetic mutation zombie thing is overplayed.

Yes, I totally agree. It was sarcasm….and not even good sarcasm or obvious sarcasm either….I suck…I know

Enahs, did you ever try that thing with your car stereo?

Not yet. School started back this week so been a little busy, so will do it this weekend.

Can someone clear something up for me? Is there a Hell in this game or did they try and "Christian" it up and take that out for something less anti-christan?

Maybe I stated it wrong. I meant that they tried to "Christian" it up to try and get the more religous people to see it. I don't think you can attract them if you have a hell and demon fest.

setting personal feeling about doom aside the whole concept of demons from hell is very played out and kind of juvenile

I don't know I tend to think the whole Genetic mutation zombie thing is overplayed. Every zombie flick that has come out in the past 4 years has to do with some Virus or genetic mutation or something like that. Dawn of the Dead, those Resident Evil, House of Gore and ect. Whatever happened to some good ol' zombies sent from Satan?

I'm confused here...his ass is open?

Wondering what link Ray clicked,

And then Ray goes on to say:

Going to be surprised if it has a massive opening,

I'm thinking Ray must have stumbled upon Goatse - The Movie.

Have a poptart Ray.

For there to be a hell…an invention of Christianity implies there is a heaven.
Having a hell is therefore not anti-Christian…but pro Christian. And on top of that “hell is bad”, again pro Christian.. No…I think they went with no hell/demons and some mutation because well…let’s be honest…setting personal feeling about doom aside the whole concept of demons from hell is very played out and kind of juvenile. Plus….freakish mutants is more believable!...errr….who knows why the F they changed it..

I'll say this-Hell is very much a Christian/religious concept, so if they were trying to "Christian" it up, they would have played up the Hell angle. I'll say no more, seeing as how this was most likely a grenade...

Well considering what the original plan was for this movie it is a major improvement. It is starting to look like it will be a good flick. Just dump the Genome crap for a hell gate and its a winner. The talking gun bit is going to be that little bit of humor that breaks into an intense moment. I can see it now, dude runs into monster, lifts gun pulls trigger and gets "you are out of ammo" The first person view should be neat as long as they do not overdo it. Movie has gone from, I will never watch it to a definate maybe, put hell into it and I'm there for sure.

EDIT I want to see the rock go into the portal room and see two hell knights emerge from the portal, thats was one of the sweetest moments in the game.

EDIT Here is a nice little tidbit on the movie ...

Suing someone on the grounds that things are "similar" or even "remarkably similar" is always dubious. How many great ideas, in games especially, are blatant rip-offs of previous concepts?

/side note: The Starship Troopers, how come they never sued valve? Those "aliens" are exactly alike. Did they get permission or something?

Good question. They do look remarkably similar. I was gonna suggest that maybe neither Phil Tippet or Paul Verhoven are very sue-happy people, but I guess the designs are actually owned by Columbia Tristar...

The slow turning is annoying. They need to crank up the mouse sensitivity.

Why did they disable motion bobbing? It makes it seem like the guy is in a wheelchair. Ohhhh...that explains the slow turning.

Oh! And that reloading scene is stupid!
