Talking to the G-man in regards to "employment" at the very end of Half-life. Playing golf with Andrew Ryan in Bioshock ("Don't mind if I do! Buggidbuggiblearhg) Master Chief riding the bomb. Meeting the Truth for the first time in San Andreas. Discovering your identity in the first Knights...

Thus we have the conundrum of a visual medium trying to justify itself artistically, whilst trying to maintaining industry growth. Which takes priority? Money, of course- neaning games ape the gait of Hollywood in the sense that BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE SELL MORE. I find myself more interested...

HK47 (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) Who doesn't want to be machievallian, smart-ass assassin bot who refers to human beings as 'meat-bags'?

I'm sorry to hear that dude, and no I won't preach. But it's a fun horse to ride, if you'll forgive the horrible, horrible pun.

'Don't throw the first punch, but feel free to cause as much agony on them as they are willing to inflict on you' style- martial arts have taught me well.

Well, let me put it to you guys this way- when or if you lose your confidence again, be sure to look at this forum and reflect on your previous comments.

I work out so it makes me stronger, I get the satisfaction from going out and being able to do things in parkour that I couldn't do before, and I feel more free. I do feel satisfied in working out, but not because it makes me feel more powerful, but because I'm not wasting my body.

Alright, I say "Power-fantasy" because of games like Prototype, The Hulk:Ultimate Destruction, The GTA series, 'unlikely-hero' stories (my favourite being Half-life, primarily). Prototype and The Hulk:UD aren't about handing out any morale superiority to the role of the player, but instead...

Really? Working out I've always felt was more for aesthetics. I only really feel powerful from physical activity if it's a sport. Just me.

I've grown up being bullied. Not just getting the crap kicked out of me. I don't know what it is about me- I seem to attract assholes of every description, and even those who aren't [assholes] seem drawn to me 'cause I'm easy to mock and emotionally exploit. That's one thing I've figured out...

17 after the release of 300. Snyder and co piqued my interest- wanted to see what was so great. Little did I know.

Perhaps you could be a bit more descriptive- I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'normal' (btw I'm not taking offense, I just don't understand :))

Well, I can't count on this making any waves then. *Sigh*

I'm worried about the Watchmen immensely. God I hope it doesn't get delayed. Last thing I said that about was Half-life 2... Might be a jinx.

Burton's producing 9. Sorry to burst your bubbles dudes, but it looks pretty damned cool anyway.
