Nobody's obliged to anyone else's subjective reaction to such things. I
don't believe in a final arbiter of taste nor pretend to be one about those
things (considering it pretentious). Many of these games have been very well
reviewed and popular, I enjoyed some myself back when I first played games,
yet, unlike popular movies, may be forgotten as CPUs, GPUs, OS systems, etc.,
change. The update news can be unexpected and welcome and is there for anyone
interested.

Grim Fandango Remastered

"Double Fine demonstrated an in-progress version of the remastered game at
the 2014 IndieCade event in October 2014; new features included higher-resolu-
tion background textures, improved resolution for the character models as well
as having real-time lighting models, and the ability to switch back and forth
between this presentation and the original graphics at the touch of a control;
though at the time of the IndieCade event, the game remained in the 4:3 aspect
ratio, Double Fine plans to support widescreen aspect ratios by release. The
game includes an updated easier control scheme based that was developed with
the help of a player that provided these controls through a mod for the origin-
al game. The game's soundtrack will be fully orchestrated through performances
of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (who has also done the soundtrack for
Double Fine's Broken Age), and will also feature developer commentary."

"BloodRayne,": Laura Bailey can be chosen for Female Voice 1 in "Saints Row:
The Third" and "Saints Row IV"

One of the downloadable content items for "The Third" is the Bloodsucker
Pack. You can use it with a female protagonist, customize it, and use Female
Voice 1, Laura Bailey, to create BloodRayne (sort of).

More coruption in the bible??

by Crazyguy in

below i'll paste a good article explaining the corruption between the most high god {elyon} and yahweh the god of israel and how the writers of the bible moved this son of the most high god, yahweh in to the position of the god most high.

whats interesting to me is the writter of matthew realised the fraud by stating the messiah and son of god should be named emmanuel not jesus, matt.1:23. http://bewaredeception.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=86:yahweh-was-one-of-the-sons-of-el-elyon&catid=1:articles&itemid=3.

Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.

by FlyingHighNow in

i don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.

i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.

what did you love about the 80s?

"Ancient Aliens Debunked"

I follow science articles about exoplanets, etc., and it's interesting how
life could be out there. I guess it's arbitrarilly possible aliens even vis-
ited us before but it's not compelling. The basic God concept is possible, you
may hope for it or not, but ethics tell me to rule out arbitrary harm.

The point for me here which makes it relevant to this forum is that Erich von
Daniken uses research material like JWs leaders in affecting exclusiveness
about their dozen or so exclusive rules to sell literature. Research material
is used dishonestly to affect exclusiveness to sell literature.

I likewise don't think Peter Popoff really thought he was getting messages
from God through the radio receiver in his ear, that Uri Geller thinks he has
telekinetic powers, or that a group would put a guy on the other end of the
block from a guy to shoot a rifle on the ground where most of the crowd, many
with cameras, would be looking once the car passed to make the first guy "look"
guilty then get dozens of people to lie and forge anything that could be forged
to keep trouble from coming back to them. I think they're like L. Farrakhan--
cynical businessmen, in his case pandering to bigotry about European Americans,
homosexuals, and Jews, etc., to sell literature and tickets.
