Vincent, on the other hand, made the mistake of not realizing the center piece to the door blocked his shots. His own technique defeated him in the end. After I pieced all of this together, I was much more satisfied with the final scene. I've also thought about the scene. His injuries obviously int...

I can;t find it for PC, and I'm not willing to shell out another $30+ bucks for a PS2 network adapter. Original PSO + CodeBreaker + Free ISP = Cheapness at the cost of reasonable inconvenience. Since it's not available here in the US, I don't think it's outside the TOS for me to reemphasize that ps...

This is a little outdated: http://home.elp.rr.com/terlouw/DCWinMEServer.htm Free ISPs would also work, but I haven't looked into those in years so I can't help you there. Just using google I found http://www.dailyedeals.com/free_internet/free_isp.htm which may be of use. There was a program I used b...

Re: Hating America

Seems I'm the first to reply: Very interesting. As I read it, I learn a great deal about world atittudes with our flaws as a country. For example, I like his comparison of nationalism and ignorance between the US and Europe. It's interesting to learn that censorship is much more present in Britain a...

Some people in here sound like Sadam the dictator..." This guy said this, I want him banned forever!" Are you really comparing a dictator to people that cannot stand your flagrant disregard for intelligence and tact? You are lucky you aren't an American citizen. I am glad you are not. Can...

(Not to mention that Kerry has voted against supporting our troops on numerous occasions - he voted against giving them body armor! Our troops have good cause to hate Kerry.) He voted against Bush's request of $87 billion, including the addition of body armor of the troops sent in without body armo...

I know that many were not. But even the good ones, even the ones who abhorred every minute of it were often forced to. I'm basing most of my information off of The Things They Carried by Tim O' Brian and my textbooks and I don't have any firsthand information like you do. Vietnam was a bad war. I'm...

But if you know anything about that war, you know about many of the horrors that went on. "Babykillers" was an apt title for the soldiers. They decimated entire villages of civilains. They killed woman and children and the woman and children killed them. It was a terrible, violent, incred...

The UN was taking bribes from Sadam, how are we suppose to trust them? You throw this ludicrous claim around as if it were gospel. At least save us the trouble of searching for the biased and absurd site you think is a viable source of information. France and Russia may have been "bribed."...

And the sword cloud used was modeled after a real sword, used somewhere in asia during the medieval times for the ground infantry to fight horsemen. It was made big and bulky like that because it was to be used to cut the heads off the horses. The Japanese equivalent is a zanbatou, which Sanosuke u...

There's also a lot of purely factual points brought up here that are quite valid. Okay, I'll overlook the emotional language and try and find some of those points. But why would he be so anxious to normalize relations with the former enemy? ...That's the common response after any conflict. The answ...
