You will NEVER find a cheap copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2, NEVER!!! That game is also one of the few games worth the price too.

I honestly can't remember what I payed for mine.  I think I got it at retail though, back a few months after release.

If I ever dust off my PS2 again...

It doesn't bother me too much Eric.  It was the fact that I had a cough to begin with and skunk fumes were making it worse that bothered me most of all.  I can prolly name off 10 things I find stinkier than a dead skunk off the top of my head.....

1.  Shit
2.  Bad breath
3.  Armpits after going without a shower (daily people, do it daily, and wear fucking deoderant!)
4.  The drain of a soda fountain (found this out the hard way at a previous job, ugh)
5.  Water treatment plants (drive by one on the way to work)
6.  Farts
7.  Rotten eggs
8.  Vomit
9.  Compost
10.  Any U2 song

Let's not carry this into another downward spiral of bashing and cussing out fellow forum members like previous discussions have.

And gay people mostly don't. But since you believe Christianity is the one truth, you punish them with your Christian-influenced laws and disparage them. That's not the kind of freedom America is all about.

I'm sorry Z, are there actually laws on a state or federal level that "punish" gays?  I know there's still a lot ground to be covered in equality standards, but I think our society is past the point of legal hazing for sexual orientation.

Never was revealed as far as I know.  Maybe floating around in one of the publications, but I doubt she was ever given one.

Store Credit, the real question is it adjusted for inflation and interest?

Price of new video games hasn't changed much in the last 30 years.  Value of dollar I believe is down from when that preorder was made though.  So in a roundabout way, if he gets his money back he may make a profit.

He saved his reciept so I'd assume so.  Then again I never tried getting a refund from Game Stop before, especially for preorder money down.

This doesn't really effect Duke Nukem Forever since ya know it was never gonna get released anyway.

It was almost done, trust me.

Yes, and the Halo movie is almost into post-production.

No really, I'm serious.

If you can show solid proof that it was being beta tested I'll believe you.

Well I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. You know what, in my country, in my family, I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman.

This is what this whole debacle is about?

You know what, fuck all of you.  Fuck the entire damn world.

Bullshit knows no ends.

Like I said here I'm just hoping that the rights to Duke will be handed off to a company that will actually do something good with him.  3D Realms has suffered from the "not good enough" bug for almost a decade now, scrapping ideas before they even try them.

Edit: That pic is far from scandalous and it's from a lingerie advert. This is just more Perez garbage to try to get some media attention. http://thedirty.com/2009/05/06/exclusive-image-miss-california-carrie-prejean-exposed/

I made the mistake of reading through some of those comments.  This entire issue if retarded tabloid trash, plain and simple.  Also, am I the only one imagining the blogger's post of it being read by Jiminy Glick?

A skunk was run over somewhere within a mile or two of my house.  Unfortunately it's starting to get hot, and the AC in my apt hasn't been turned on yet.  So I'm forced to leave my window open overnight or else I'm stuck with a sauna for a room.

So having to deal with stinkyness.  

Making me cough too.

A sad, sad day for gamers and dreamers everywhere...

Sad, yes.  Surprised, not at all.

If something is delayed more than 2 years, it's not happening.  If it does break that mold and see reality, it won't be good.

I'm actually hoping 3d Realms will just sell off the franchise so Duke can actually see a new game on the PC / Consoles.

True freedom of expression and speech.  With it comes good and bad.  What people fail to realize is the flak that can come down from saying whatever you believe or feel at any time, especially when grounded in taboo, contested, religious, political, or other such strongly divided subjects.  Whether her fundamentally based opinion on same-sex marriages is right or wrong isn't the issue (I personally don't care.  Gay people fall in love and decide to spend the rest of their lives together that's pretty much marriage right there, closer to it than half the hetero marriages in existance today) it's the reaction to it that's becoming some big fucking deal, and honestly the reaction is only natural.

The Right wing should really pick its battles better.  If they focused more on economical conservatism instead of always sucking the dick of the Christian right all the time maybe the country as a whole would be taking the non-religious grounded principles they hold more seriously.  It's one thing to personally feel gay marriage is wrong, it's another to hold everyone in the world to your own beliefs.  You don't like it, don't do it.  Simple as that.

I definitely wouldn't mind another Breath of Fire game.  One that carries the spirit of the first four, and redeems the failure that was Dragon Quarter.  Also agree with MML being on that list.  MML2 just did not seem like the end of that series, honestly.

Nice to see some of the more obscure gaming gems be on that list as well.
