Well, here in the States we have at least three different "Englishes" for different regions.... and I understand Germany has it even worse!

[quote]But I can't understand that kind of orgasmic praise heaped on a couple of screenshots that are at best promising.[/quote] You get flamed because you do annoying things. We, however, understand that the screenshots are not finished. We are going to wait and see as opposed to getting all paranoid about the great frog conspiracy.

I was waiting for you to say that..... I seriously ran out of ideas.

All sounds good, except for that last one. You would be unable to cancel the spell after casting because the game would be over.

Bad idea: watching the original transformers "remix" on RedTube.

What concerns me more in the field of pointless minutae is that LADDER going up to the top of thecloth (or maybe the tree): What could this be for? It's not on the other "stage", and it seems to connect to some kind of platform on the tree.... or are there different kinds of "stages"?

[quote]The spell of making makes "WIN" obviously. [/quote] True, but my question is always "how". One thing I thought of was that it might reunite the shards of magic into one whole, which is then bonded to you. However, it could at this point be anything. I'm not even sure the devs know! They've been oddly tight-lipped about the entire subject of magic since they started posting.... the only info we've gotten was on the eye candy, as opposed to how it works.

Mine can.... sort of. Our "Red White & Boom" thingy yesterday was cut a bit short, and the local display is supposedly only ten minutes long. Besides, it's drizzeling outside.

Good idea: posting before others.

Bad Idea: buying a boat in summer..... in Death Valley.

Maybe it moves to provide a visual distraction for the archers. Those supports could be rollers........ although that sort of stretches it even more than it is already stretched.

In some dev journal somewhere (I only heard about it secondhand) Brad let slip that this game's "spell of mastery" is called the "spell of making". My question is: what exactly do you make ? My guess is that you create a new, paradise-like world for your people to live in, and warp them all there. Thoughts?

For me an "unholy alliance" is any alliance of a weak but devious evil individual and a powerful and eviller force. Sort of like Wormtounge and Saruman in LOTR, or Pettigrew and Voldemort in Harry Potter...... or the Drengin and Dread Lords in GC2. They don't particularly LIKE each other, but are willing to share domination of others.

[quote]If the side with targets is NOT colored, than maybe they paint the vistas as a cover up for military training, but from any other angle it wouldn't exactly be discreet.[/quote] Well, you'll notice that the cloths are facing the OUTSIDE of the city.... maybe they're only to hide what's going on from enemies.....

[quote]sorry, I'm having trouble staying on-topic [/quote] There was a topic ????? In any event, another reason for an artificial language: there are no "owners": think about it: say we were planning on unifying the world. We would have to chose one existing language for the government to run in. Which one? Well, if we picked English, all the non-English-speaking countries would say that they were being treated as second-class nations. If you picked Mandarin, then all

Good Idea: Not buying 10 lawn chairs for a family of three like my mother just did.

[quote]And that doesn't make any sense because Metroids are not native to Zebes (and should not be native to Tallon). It is made very clear in all non-prime metroid games that Metroids are from, and only from, SR388.[/quote] This is explained in Prime 3, from the lore in the Metroid Lab: Metroids brought to different planets rapidly mutate wyhen exposed to varying atmospheres, "evolving" within a single generation & sometimes less. The Metroids' absorbtion of Phazon in the Pirat

[quote]Like how Metroids in the original game were freaking huge (able to engulf over half of samus's body), and extremely tough requiring nothing less than 5 missles to destroy... but in the prime series forward they are only about the size of Samus's face and can be destroyed with generic pee-shooter un-charged laser shots) [/quote] I can actually explain that: the Zero Mission Metroids are Zebesian Metroids. The Prime metroids are Tallon metroids, and in Corruption they are Phazon

[quote]Nirthers Ahoy! Seriously, using World Nut Drooly as a primary news source is just sad, no better than Kos or HuffPo. Before ya know it people will be telling me Prison Planet/Infowars are a reputable source...... which some have...... [/quote] I picked them prescisely BEACAUSE they are so crazy: if even Wierd Nuts Drooling debunks it, then you KNOW it's rediculous...... unless you link to the wrong article [e digicons]:blush:[/e] ........

Well, in another screenshot (which I am too lazy to look up) you can see the other side of one of these things, and they are covered in targets, with little benches and buckets of arrows in front. So they obviously must be art exhibits [e digicons]:P[/e] ...

Bad idea: getting the cake at a Portal fan club party....

[quote]The idiots are a minority? [/quote] This is the first I've heard about that..... I just wish that the deadbeat on the corner would stop lighting off those smokebombs.... it's gonna take weeks to get the sulphur out of my clothes......

Sounds good. The alliance might bring them closer together in the long run, too...... of course, there would be all sorts of "betrayal" options, so people would keep their gaurd up..... much fun!

Seriously. This is the fastest shootdown I've ever seen..... next time, do the research.

Good idea: Pre-Ordering Elemental.
