Mind of UPSLynx for the week of January 17th

Mind of UPSLynx for the week of January 17th

Pardon my mess — my poor head couldn’t take it once I discovered that we would not be playing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 at all during 2010. Such a delay should be only slightly surprising coming from Valve, but then again, I hate surprises.

Want to help with relief efforts in Haiti following the catastrophic earthquake last week, but don’t know how? You could always contribute from the comfort of your computer chair. By simply playing Hello Kitty Online and collecting specific items, you can help raise funds for Haiti earthquake relief. It’s gaming for a good cause.

Speaking of good causes: switching to Firefox, Chrome, or Opera over Internet Explorer. France and Germany informed their citizens that using IE can put you at risk, to which Microsoft replied: NO U. Microsoft, as you might expect, is completely full of crap.

And finally, my head is still buzzing about AVATAR. Unfortunately for all of us, AVATAR’s success with 3D has pushed George Lucas to pursue the further bastardization of our favorite sci-fi trilogy Star Wars by re-releasing it in stereoscopic 3D. There is only one thing I can think of that is more disappointing than this, something bad enough to bring a tear to my eye. No spoilers here though, just hit play and find out for yourself.

    AlexDeGruven W00T Shoutout in the credits.

    Was hoping for more "No HL2:E3" reactions, though.

    UPSLynx I was too, didn't get any responses :/

    AlexDeGruven With a weekly thing like Mind, it's difficult to plan ahead, for sure.

    The curse of current events.

    I hope I can participate next time the occasion calls for it, though.

    ardichoke I made one... I just didn't get it posted somewhere accessible in time. The curse of the no internet at home struck again.

    Thrax Dear George Lucas,

    Though I was yet unborn, you were dead even to the twinkle in the eye that became my flesh and blood the day you decided to fill a movie with killer forest teddy bears. Please give your IP to Michael Stackpole, Timothy Zahn, Darkhorse Comics or Bioware so that the franchise may yet be done final justice.

    Hatefully,
    Robert

    primesuspect I'd even take a goddamned Christopher Nolan reboot. Hell, even Michael Bay at this point. IT'S NOT LIKE IT CAN GET ANY WORSE.

    ardichoke The sad thing is, he doesn't even realize he's fucked his own epic. I just saw him on The Daily Show a little while ago and he insisted the new trilogy was well received. Talk about out of touch with reality.

    primesuspect That thing on his neck is a parasitic alien that has taken over his brain. I doubted before, but now I'm convinced.

    +2 rep Winfrey, well done.

    Ardichoke - that's totally it man. I saw that daily show, and he's all skip-jolly about the whole thing. I mean, he has to KNOW how big his IP is all over the world. It is as if he's purposefully ruining his films to piss off the entire planet, and it's working, and that sick man is enjoying all of it.

    ardichoke Indeed Lynx. Indeed. From now on, Lucas is dead to me and this is how he died:

    As far as I'm concerned any "George Lucas" I see is an imposter created by his enemies to destroy the real Lucas' legacy.

    Idiot_Slayer Am I the only one that is pro-Avatar porn?
  15. primesuspect
    primesuspect No sir, you are not.
  16. AlexDeGruven
    AlexDeGruven
    No sir, you are not.

    That's weird.







    But kinda hot.




    But weird.
  17. primesuspect
    primesuspect It's like a 7 over 4, if you ask me.
  18. Thrax
    Thrax I'd raise the stakes to 9:4, but I wouldn't necessarily say no.
  19. primesuspect
  20. _k
    _k why wasn't this in 3d?
  21. Koreish
    Koreish Were you wearing your 3D glasses?
  22. _k
    _k Of course. I wear them everyday to make real life even more 3Diey

Howdy, Stranger!
