Uhh.. you can't yet, because it doesn't exist. This is a thread about a game idea i had.Hopefully it will exist someday.

dude, rubber bullets HURT. shoot somebody enough times and im sure theyd gladly leave.

I'm pro-gun control because clearly anything that can kill needs to be watched closely.The problem is though, that people who are killing people with guns are the ones not following the laws in the first place. The gun registration and all of that is all well and good, but the problem is, only the law abiding citizens actually register their gun.Criminals buy their guns on the black market or whatever, so they never register. What we really need to do is stop the illegal sellign of guns. that way people whio intend or are likely to kill can't get guns. Beefing up gun laws only affects those that follow them in the first place.Another thing that neds to be stressed is gun-education. I'm not saying everyone needs to know how to use a gun, but we should teach kids how not to shoot themselves or their friends. I'm for gun locks aswell, soley to stop accidents.One posible solution i thought of would be not allowing regular citizens to purchase live ammunition. only those with a hunting license or law enforcement can purchase real bullets. everyone else should buy rubber bullets that dont kill but can still be used for recreation. rubber bullets still work at the shooting range, and nobody dies.I'm a bit of an idealist and i hope that some day guns are all together wiped out, at least in the use of killing. i sitll find guns to be really cool.

what do you mean, are you talking about development team members or players?

there is some stuff to unlock, im not sure how much. so far ive gotten The Boss' Patriot and the tuxedo. the real treat is going back through the game and shooting all the green frog things to get stealth camoflage as well as trying to tranquilize all the bosses to get special camoflages and weapons.

is it out for PS2? im really interested in getting it.

i think one of the best and most under the radar games was legend of dragoon. the game was just brilliant, but it got eclipsed by final fantasy 7.

Well, the thign is, people have known for the longest time that the fossil fuel supply would run out shortly, but the cost of finding and changign to anew fuel would be, effectivley astronomical. and you know how politicians are, they have a very tight grip on their cash except where the military is concerned *rolls eyes*.anyway, i trust electric more, simply because there isnt much development that needs to be done, electric cars have been around for years, but nobody wants em. what developers really need to do is stop making hybrid and electric cars scream "TREEHUGGER!". plus, hydrogen has a bad habit of blowing up....rather powerfully. imagine that in car accidents. diesel by far has the absolute worst smelling exhaust i have ever been subject to. i dont want anymore.

hahah yeah, i hear ya, but the dubs are better than some ive heard. ahh mr. clean, that was freakin hilarious.one of the best things abotu FMA was how well thought out the whole alchemy thing was. i also like how they used a lot of greek and other mythology.and Inuyasha... ugh. it reaks of randomness, the story seems to go on forever, and the whole thing ultuimatey felt stupid to me. im not tryin to be mean or anything, it just wasnt very good. too focused on comedy. of course i guess thast partly cuz im biased towards action anime. the same goes for Kenshin, which was ruined by the randomness and the ridiculous number of episodes. i would have LOVED kenshin if it werent so long and random.

i just though I'd start a thread where we can all talk about anime, though ideally this would be a sub-forum, as I've had numerous experiences with anti-anime flamers that ruin good threads.Honestly I like anime because its a really cool art style, and tbh, most anime directors arent afraid to and even make it a point to address controversial issues or taboos like Adam and Eve and religion in general. The series are great too because unlike American cartons, they don't usually go on forever, and its generally one big story arc. no random adventures that are compeltely irrelevant to last weeks episode. they tell the story and theyre done, they dont drag it out. short sweet to the point and not dragged down by the FCC.My favorites:Anime:NarutoThe Big OTrigunHellsingNeon Genesis EvangelionFull Metal AlchemistGhost in the Shell :Stand Alone ComplexBerserkFooly Cooly (FLCL)GungraveFull Metal PanicMovies:AkiraGhost in the Shell 1 & 2Jin-Roh: The Wolf BrigadePrincess MononokeVampire Hunter D: BloodlustGundam Wing: Endless Waltz

nah, its my personal site, showcase some of my art and 3d models, etc. ive got a thing for guns hence the bullet holes.i think im gonna go back and overlay a metal finish texture and some clouds. thats Pretty cool sada, but feels liek too much to me. takes the attention away from the name.

busy gettin stomped by soul calibur 2 and tekken 5. man this game is hard. as i heard in a rumor numerous times, the US version features a normal mode tha is actually the japanese hard mode. this game also features more weapons that either of the other two, more moves to buy, and so incredible animations. honestly, ive chalked up a lot of game time just from staring at the animations. i think i broke 23 hours, and im still tryin to beat it. and the feeling of openin a can of whoop *bottom* on huge crowd is just awesome, because with some high level moves you can easily take on about 4 guys at once and keep another 3 back with the trick shooting. and dante and vergil are SUCH badasses.

well, the only one i can think of is Lynx http://www.lynx.com/ (i think, google it) but its a text only browser, built for speed. its about as barbones as you can get, but if i recall, you have to compile it yourself.

lol. I need to learn how to do real high quality renders of my stuff.

first one i played was doom, but the first one i really enjoyed was quake. now its half-life all the way.

I personally don't like java, the litle quirks that can entirely tank your program really piss me off. I much prefer C++ more sense, and i dont have to worry about which classes can see this class or what object can use this method, etc.

C++ is great, but until you learn all the graphics components and API stuff, your stuck with the dos prompt which gets annoying. Java was only better to me because I could make a textbox ratehr than a prompt, but Java is more confusing.C++ for the win.

I learned C++ last year at school, never got into graphics though. This year im learning Java. To me, Java is ok, i like that now i can have a text box rather than a dos-prompt, but Java is like twice as confusing. C++ just felt more intuitive to me, maybe just because i learned it first.My final project for the C+ course was to make a text-based advenure game. It was quite fun, came out great, but in the end, it's still just text, not 3d with more compelx features.I say stick with C++, its used the most anyway.

I think most 3d movie companies that don't have their own proprietary software use Maya, because Maya is especially good for creating scenes in a movie.Game companies use 3ds max mostly.And yes, sadly, they also use Macs.

wasnt really aiming for hightech, just cool. and this was done in photoshop elements. =P

i got this last friday, and i still havent beaten it. its so hard, but at the same time its so fun! the trickshootign in gunslinger mode is simply awesome, and dante is ten times the badass he was in DMC 1. the special moves are awesome. nothing like jumpin on one of your enemies and riding him aroudn the room while you shoot his buddies.freakin sweet.

yes, i did know that but i didnt want to spoil it for anyone who hasnt played it.

wow thats pretty cool, is that aniamtion the actual model?

i usually don't talk about how i feel. in fact for the most part i just bury what emotions i have, but i need to alleviate a little pressure.well first off, im the youngest boy of 3 (one older brother one older sister), im ugly as sin, and i feel like crap. i guess its cuz i was the youngest that i feel like no one would care if i just dissapeared or died. i feel like i have so little impact on the lives of my friends and family. i feel like a burden. i spend a lot of time alone because i dont have many friends, and no real close friends, its been that way for most of my life. to a degree i liek being alone, but at the same time, it hurts to be alone, like no one wants me. oddly enough despite my affinity for being alone, i crave attention or some form of praise. i guess i kinda missed out on some being in my sibling's shadows.sometimes i kind of have to wonder why what friends i have stick around or even care about me or if they really do. some times i feel like im a leech that just wont let go. at some point i resigned myself to that fact that i'd always be alone even when around friends because i don't have anyone that i can really talk to. despite the numerous people i hang around with i always feel like im never truly wanted or accepted like im just that guy that showed up one day and never left. i don't know what they or anyone else sees in me.none of my friends actually know the real me. i put up a front when im around people that im happy, but really im very rarely truly happy, im also a wimp. and moments of happiness are usually very brief because i usually slip back into a feeling of depression. im full of conflicting emotions so its easier for me to bury them all and live out my lonley existance as best i can. i havent honestly cried in years, even though 3 peopel in my family have died in a relativley short period of time. only thing i really feel now is an ocassional pang in my heart wishing that i werent the way i am.don't get me wrong, im no where near killing myself, cuz to be quite honest, thats one hell of a wussy way out. plus i feel obligated to live long enough to experience waking up wasted in a pile of strange girls in a strange bed. , but i have resigned to being alone for my life. even though there is a girl i like, i bury those feelings too because i know i couldnt possibly attract or maintain any sort of functional relationship with her.i find myself angry at the world alot too, just wishing for someone to pick a fight with me so i can beat the crap out of them, and vent some rage. i can honestly say that 70% of all my daydreams involve me pounding someone. 20% is just being recognized for something, being respected. and the other 10% are just having someone special to me.i guess im just a damn mess. anyway it felt ok to get some of that out. thanks for reading through my pitiful sob story.

well,i was toying around in photoshop, tryin to come up with banner for my new site and i came up with this. i used a chrome layer style on top of a red textured layer, then used the eraser to make the bulletholes around the name, as well as the X. used the type mask to create the name and then just deleted so the bottom red layer showed thorugh. used low opacity brush to make the blood. i like it. the site is pretty much black, shades of gray, and red. crits? -----I switched around your topic title and description.
