    Some cosplayers are nice, know few of them, they like to do fucked up shit just because they get "bardoned" by the fact that they are.. cosplayers.

    Once they dressed as batman and robin (oldschool style tights) when they went in to a rave and they had "anti rave spray"-can with them, that was fucking hilarius.

    But guy cosplayers who dress like some anime girl are just more wrong than Hitler.

    :edit: I'd go as Alien from movie Alien and I'd eat you all. Nobody messes with them.

    Banned in irc during a political discussion only proves my point that all people who use irc are fuckwads by default.

    Sounds to me like some of you WoWers haven't had a good guild, my Fuzzy Animals have some players that say that they are playing WoW just for the sake of the guild, we are a close bunch of people, not a guild but friends, I have played tons of MMOGs and not a single one of them has kept my interest without a help of a good guild/clan/group, so what I suggest is that you try to find a good guild that are based on friendship and try to keep away from those raid and leveling guilds, those people usually just are after their own interest.

    Proof doesnt get any more clear Kosmo

    Proof? The proof that you are an idiot, well I can toast to that.

    But seriously, these kinds of things are so fucked up, terrorists terrorising population all over western world, and our armies terrorisinig population on the other side of the globe, push comes to shove and all that shit, neither side has their actions nowhere near moral or justified.

    Terrorists wanting one things and politicians controlling the media and you can't trust any piece of information so called "liberal" media gives to us becuase you know that someone in the line put his own opinion on the news as a fact and passes it around to next person who wants his own fact to be told and so on, we get twisted information and facts from every source and even if you are on the scene you still can't believe what you see because these kinds of things are fucking surreal, they happen in movies or books, not in real fucking life.

    World has turn in to a crappy Tom Clansy book or something. Not long before we plunge in to totalitarian state like George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four. And we have no great men like Gandhi to teach us anything, there ARE no great men left, and that is why we are in this situation.

    I don't know that much about GW that I could say good or bad thing about it, but I have been playing WoW from the European beta and right from the start of the retail and I love it, but now you have to remember that I have been a huge Warcraft fan since Warcraft 1. So my opinion about the world and the story is definedly biased, BUT I have played alot of MMOGs and WoW is easily the best MMORPG based on the traditional MMORPG setup, it has excellent production values, and it is constantly being updated with new quests and thingies, Blizz is literally pouring their money on this product so you know that you get 100% Blizz quality which is close to the best even if not the best.

    Btw. for SoW2 we are actually doing it the other way around. There is no aliens vs. marines, but the the gameplay is pretty similar.

    Oh sweet, I'll be a fan of your mod since no matter the setting, I love the NS type of gameplay, it is so refreshing after these mindless run there gun there CS gameplay try outs.

    kosmo you monkey.it says in the article that terrorists claimed credit for it. that would lead a logical person to infer that yes, it is REASONABLY CLEAR that it was terrorists that did it.

    you are so quick to bust tony blair down a peg you didn't even read to see if it was an appropriate time to do so.

    but yeah its a good thing we got "sensible" people like you looking out for the rest of us.

    I might be a monkey, but Tony Blair jumped to the terrorist conclusion hours before any word about terrorists was even mentioned, and if I remember correct, they didn't even have the evidence of explosives at the time of Blairs interview, which then was still a accident, electricity related explosion.

    But then again, they might have quoted Blair incorrect, that is very possible.

    Yeah well I can assure you that Gloom, NS and what we are doing are two completely different game styles. And the only matching thing would be the superficial scifi setting and aliens vs. humans.

    Yeah, I know that speakin your mind in a situation like this is propably what many would prefer, but Tony boy could have chosen his words more carefully like the police chief or what ever who said something like "we are still investigating the cause of the bombings, but we have found evidence of explosives on one of the sites, wether this is a terrorist act is yet uncertain" instead of Tony Going with "reasonably clear that we have a terrorist attack", in politics the suddle nuances of what you say are pretty important.

    But it doesn't actually matter anymore since we have the clear (clear and clear, but good enough start) proof I and all the sensible people were looking for.

    My first reaction to the news WAS terrorist action, but we sensible people who actually have tendecy to wait for proof before even saying out loud the so called obvious especially this kind of cases where terrorists are involved and the current state of the world I would suggest to Tony Blair to stick to the afternoon tea party and shut his face.

    Or is he deliberately trying to create panic and chaos in a town as large as London? He must have like a mind of a child or something.

    or amen to this, perhaps?

    But it's all about personal taste so let's end this here.

    Signs, it's like Memento, during the movie it is great, but after the movie you just feel empty, and try to do everything in your power to avoid watching it again in any circumstances.

    So both my comments are true, it is a great movie, and it sucks in retrospect.

    Did the Quake 2 mod have anything to do with the original "Gloom" for the Amiga? It was basically just a Doom clone.

    No I don't think so, haven't heard anything like that ever. But there is always a possibility of a chance

    realism is believability. And yes, it does make movies better. Imagine the tripods having no physics (ala bf2), and looking cheap CGI. Luckily the creators have tried to make them as realistic as possible and they own because of it.

    Obviously you don't get what kind of realism we are talking about here, not visual realism. Behavioral realism, realism on actions and on the story, look everything comes down to the age old wisdom of "everything happens because it is convinient for the writer", he didn't like invent the presonalities of every alien, build anatomy and history for them and a social structure and run a simulation on a supercomputer to determine where they would move, how they would move and why they would move, would they crack under pressure and would they feel guilty, does their religion afflict things and would different strategic solutions take affect them trying to minimize the casualties.

    These kinds of things are the realism factor that matter, not how "realistic" you think they looked, fuck, you haven't even seen a marsian tripod and you think it looked realistic, what the hell is with that? Physics? How the hell do you figure how much the tripods weight and did they move according to physics, you are just kidding yourself.

    I did not know this mod before, but I just surfed a little to find some info about it. I must say this sounds A LOT like NS. Damn, I thought they had invented it all by themselfs in NS...Anyways, Gloom sounds really cool so if you can make a mod like then then I think you got a pretty good mod. There are however a lot of other guys who are doing the same for Source. The NS team of course does it, but so do many others.

    I think that you have a very good chance if you make it a mod for FarCry or UT2k4. Doom3 probably got too many marines vs. aliens already.

    I know there are lods of mod teams making their own variations of NS or similar to HL2, and Team Reaction making next Gloom for Doom3 it is a tight spot to fit, but I have played these kinds of games for long and I'm pretty confident we can offer something that no other MOD does. I'm trying to think everything as professionally as I can, since I'm trying to land a job on game development some day and especially as a some kind of designer since I feel that I got some pretty good ideas (this is ofcourse my own opinion and not neccessarily a fact).

    Currently my co "worker" is fond of UT2k4 and he has spent alot of time there, so it might be the way to go since they don't have anything like this as far as I know.

    Realism doesn't make a movie better or worse, IMO (except for the acting). Like in Signs the aliens were total idiots, the water being their bane was stupid but I loved every second of the movie. It's a drama film in an unusual setting, not a realistic depiction of an alien invasion.

    Yeah Signs was a great movie, but after the movie you had ery stupid feeling for watching the movie, kinda like the Village, another ghastly thing that horrible wannabe director did, he has a thing, he does great movies but always manages to cut the movie in to a feeling of that you'd just been robbed or something.

    That is why I think all Aliens movies are so great, those aliens don't take shit from nobody, they are vicious and doesn't seem to have any kind of weakness, and no matter what you do, you can't get rid of them and that is what makes them great to watch several times and keeps them great year after year.

    But I definedly agree with you, any movie with scifi setting or aliens from outerspace AND realism is sucking so big time, you just can't make a fantasy flick and just put realism in it because it is all guesswork, guesswork on how the writer does things, NOT how the aliens do things or how humans act on these kinds of situations, it's like Spock, he is just as logical as the writer of the episode/movie is and not the most logical creature in the universe.

    I remember Gloom, my friend played it alot and I didn't understand a single piece of that game, anyway...You guys should design the game for platform that gets attention, Half-Life 2. There are no good reasons to start this multiplayer modification for FarCry, no one will play it... On HL2, you have a GREAT player base waiting for your modification...

    Yeah a thing I have been wrestling for a while now, since this mod has been in my mind for several years already, I want to have as much coverage for the game BUT I don't want to make it by sacrifising some elemets of gameplay because of the engine, tho I still do't know what kind of restrictions HL2 or any other engine would posess on a project like ours since there are so many unique elements, but it would be best to go with the most popular ones (HL2 and UT2k4, I'm intriqued by BF2 but I am not so sure if the players are interested in what I offer since BF is notorious for it's players being bit "picky").

    Also one thing that is a big plus for HL2 is that there are alot of great mappers that could do contribution for our mod, since I'm not sure if I want to get a full time mapper for the team, we are trying to make few maps for example about the style we are looking the maps to be and then take in contributions, just like how many mods do it these days.

    BUT there are one thing I'm concerned, NS is HL mod and they are making a Source version as we speak, so it is definedly going to be a big competitor for us, and I have alot of respect for the NS team so I don't think we are up to compete with NS for a Aliens vs. Humans "segment", but maybe we just have to offer people something else, something that doesn't step on toes of NS.
