As the LoK geeks stick out their collective tongues at the Tomb Raider dorks

[willow]

*gasp* a quasi-legitimate thread coming out of willow!? Unheard of....

anyhoo...

The Legacy of Kain franchise has been dangerously close to booting Tomb Raider out of the "flagship series" position at Eidos for years.

With both franchises coming out with new games I can't help but ponder what the future brings... well.. the TR crowd has a new Lara game that seems vaguely interesting... i.e. same old crap but just enough changed to possibly make it worth playing again... as where us LoK nerds are looking at a potential landmark title... if what they say is true, Defiance will be huge.... most likely huge enough to warrant it becoming the new Eidos flagship series... what does this mean? Well for starters much more media exposure. Tomb Raider has films, comics, lots of crappy merch etc... now we have lots of crappy merch to look forward to. I don't think they'd ever go for the whole film thing, as the story is really well... too big. Too much crap to cover... but they may do a direct to video GG or animated miniseries or some such thing... am I expecting such things? No, but it is plausible (a major motion picture is more realistic though, as it’s easier to market and has a much larger profit margin… although it does cost far more to make… but typically companies take the risk… which is unfortunate, as it’s almost never done properly… well… unless magic happens and Hennig is allowed to produce or something along those lines).

But I do know one thing... a landmark game makes money... which leads to a much larger advertising budget... which leads to much higher sales... which leads to much more backing by Eidos... which leads to far more media exposure... which means much more crap for me to play with... and I really like crap to play with.

lets just hope CD can beat Eidos off with a stick if they try and make them crap out a game every year (I know Eidos has been better about it in recent history... but I can't help but think that old habits die hard)..

[DarkWraith]

I wave my furry little butt in the direction of Lara Croft!!!
Muha.

You know… strictly stereotypically speaking… I’d much rather be a reclusive geeky goth kid sitting alone wearing my Ministry t-shirt trying to act really spooky than a middle aged, balding, overweight man with a mullet any day…

Hey hey, come on, I had a mullet once... for finals week of a $20 bet... and it was heaven.

[Riovanes]

Willow, I've hung out with your ass how many times now? You're about as spooky as a week-old kitten that's been soaked in milk. But, at the very least, you do seem to have the "goth" thing down pretty well.

As for me, I'm just your everyday middle-class white boy that tries to be a punk - and fails miserably every time.

But as for the game... Fah. I give up on being sick of hearing about it. Screw being the jerk of the forums all the time - I'm excited as hell about the thing! I just hope we don't see a huge innundation of "what I think would be cool" threads... As I'll have a hard time keeping my angst out of them.

BAH!!!

[Johnny Blood]

Lara Croft.........I fart in your general Direction, and will proceed to go Yamazaki upon you.

"SHARK SYRUP! DONA DOSK STRAWBERRYmuhahahahahah!"

Yep, CVS1 does have a lot of engrish.

[Gorechild]

lara croft? tried reading her crappy comic...didnt like it, trashed it, never wanna see it again.

as for the game? this one better be good if they want me to see it.

[jesta]

personaly i always found the tombraider games a little borning well the two i played that is.
and think of them as somthing to play if i cant get to sleep on a night:p
it would be good to see Raz and Kain give Lara a good kicking.

(mmmm thinks mabee that could make it into a bonus section on the disk:D )

I think it would be good to see it become Edos flagship and geting advertising deals like Lucozade imagen how that would go

Raziel:- Whenever i get tired or my wrath blade get weary i drink Lucozade.

or Nike

Kain:- Just do it Raziel.

Of course Janos could do Red Bull with Raziel :D

we that's my opinion anyway.

[KoolKat]

Well, I must admit, I do like the Tomb Raider series of games. All the rest such as films, comics etc are just pure crap.

As for the Nosgothic series, all I have seen, I have liked and I really do mean all of it. It's taken my breath away. :cool:

Tomb Raider, you have failed me.

And so on this note, I wave my butt at you.

Raziel Rocks!!!!

http://www.wcnet.org/~garwood/stuff/raziel2.jpg

[fneh]

LOK will never be as big as tomb raider. lara has a little (yeah right) thing or 2 on her chest that neither raziel or kain posess.
She is also about the most well known video game character EVER. Even my mum knows who she is.

no matter how good the LOK series becomes it will never appeal to EVERYONE because it's essentially a vampire game with 4 games of previous story. While this game will more than likely steal every DMC and Res evil fan etc around the world the tomb raider fans won't budge.


I think this game will easily become the best game ever if it does half the things we're promised...............must.......have............defiance..........now!



oh yeah. tomb raider looks pretty good too. the delays are going to make it's sales suffer the way SR1s did tho. Im' still gonna buy it but I'm not expecting it to be what the first one was to me (I got it with my PSX back in the day and instantly fell in love with it (seeing all I had was a megadrive/genesis before hand)

[Riovanes]

It's odd to hear the PS1 referred to as "back in the day." I got mine about two years after they came out, but that was only because I bought an N64 first because I was still a major Nintendo fanboy at the time (and that was a mistake - other than Ocarina of Time, that system was a waste of money.).

For me, "back in the day" is my little NES - my grandparents sent me one while I was living in Germany - and that was the same month they came out. Needless to say, I love my grandparents to death.;) It was probably a little more than twelve years ago that I sold my NES at a garage sale (I'd just gotten a Super Nintendo, and was too cool a kid to keep that old NES around), and that was the biggest mistake EVER. So I recently tracked down the individual parts for an NES, and built my own from the ground up - all I had to have on prefab was the case. Let me tell you, it works perfectly! No flashing blue screen for me!

But, just to make this a little less OT - Lara is only popular, in my estimation, because when people my age were thirteen, maybe fourteen (game was out in 95 or 96, wasn't it?), we didn't have any buxom female heroines to ogle. Now, lonely little geeks the world over can drool about Lara all they want, and they don't even have to be careful about where they look. Lame, yes - but was this done to the game intentionally? Probably. Someone knew exactly what they were doing with the adolesecent - 25 target market. LoK, on the other hand, while it has had its share of hangups (*coughPS2versionofBO2cough*), is predominately story driven, and is extremely dark in places... As fneh said, this doesn't appeal to everyone - the average person today only has the stomach for simple, surface-level plot, and they want it covered over with liberal amounts of gore and TnA, which is why, sadly, many great games and movies (Boondock Saints, for instance) never catch on - the public just doesn't have the attention span for it.

In any case, Defiance is gonna r0x0r. To be a total geek about it, Defiance, as they say, has "teh L33+."

BAH!!!

[NoobSaibot]

TR although majorly lacking in story and game play(at least for me) has two thing going for it that LoK just doesn't.

1) It has been a bigger name for a longer period of time.

2) It has a girl with a huge rack as its main character.

I was never a fan of that series because when it comes to games, the game play is everything. If I want to see a good looking girl I will watch TV or a movie. Now if you realy want to see a good game with a female leed character wait till PARASITE EVE 3 come out as Squaresoft and Enix's first joint verture.

Besides Aya Brea looks better than Laura Croft any day.

Most popular? Think of the likes of Ryu, Mario, Link etc from older video games, they are usually most memorable

[SexlessDemon]

Wasn't Lara's boobs supposed to be a programming mistake? How the programmer was all stressed and at a deadline and he added an extra "0" or something to his programming language giving Lara her own cupsize instead of the 'B' that she was supposed to be.

I could be wrong, I thought this was common knowledge anyway.
*shrugs*

[fneh]

laras jugs got bigger in each game. in the first game they were moderately small (in game) but then by the third on all the rendered art showed her with jordan sized jubblies

[Umah Bloodomen]

I actually loathe the Tomb Raider series.

[SexlessDemon]

heh I couldn't get into them at all. Mostly that by the time I took notice of the series they were hyped up to high heaven anyway.

Besides, I played the demo for the 2nd Tomb Raider and kept cracking up every two seconds. The image of Lara in a concrete support bra to stop her boobs from swinging around (like they do in them hentai flicks) kept popping into my brain for some odd reason or another.

I'm afraid your argument has holes in it.

First- to say that said game wouldn't be as popular as another do to the sole fact that the protagonist is a vampire instead of an anatomically incorrect female is ridiculous. For every blithering idiot who plays Tomb Raider solely for the fact that Lara has extraordinarily large breasts there are a handful of people out there with taste that prefer a more cerebral outing. Also, Lara Croft is not the most well known videogame character... If you want to be fair the most successful game character ever created was Sonic the Hedgehog. I'll grant you his games didn't sell as well as the Mario’s and such, but he is the most recognizable character in videogame history. Sonic has appeared on more covers and has had more articles written about him than any other videogame character created to date. Your mother most likely knows about Lara Croft because of the recent film and/or you.

I don't ever recall saying that LoK would appeal to everyone. And it's entirely possible for LoK to bump Lara off her rusted throne. There isn't a game to date that will appeal to everyone. Take Tomb Raider for instance... DOESN'T APPEAL TO THE WILLOW... it takes more than a pair of stupid looking breasts to make me purchase a game... I actually have to enjoy myself while playing.

Your argument: "While this game will more than likely steal every DMC and Res evil fan etc around the world the tomb raider fans won't budge."

Do you realize that the Resident Evil franchise makes more money than the Tomb Raider franchise? Also consider that although Tomb Raider used to be a huge seller, Eidos hurt the franchise by releasing numerous lackluster titles. The last 3 Tomb Raider games sold horribly. We don't need the Tomb Raider fans to budge... there's not as much of them anymore.

Also, I don't believe that the continual delays in the new Tomb Raider will hurt sales that much. The only time in which this would be plausible is if it's delayed so much that is basically looks dated by its release because too much time was spent on development or if it misses out on a holiday season... neither of which are a problem for Core at the moment. TR:AoD will have a huge marketing campaign; and to be fair... MARKETING is was pushes units. That is the only reason why the last 3 or 4 TR games did as well as they did... which wasn't very good to begin with; if it weren’t for marketing they wouldn't have sold at all.
I mean have you played the later ones?... they're abysmal.

Lara Croft can only raid so many tombs... but Kain is eternal... how many adventures can he have with it still being plausible: infinite.

And besides... Lara is a one-dimensional character. She has no personality... She was created in a time when people didn't need story to move the game... as time progresses we've slowly become more dependant upon good storytelling along with excellent gameplay.

The bottom line is, LoK can bump Lara from her throne if Defiance is a blockbuster. The series has been close to it for years; saying that it's not possible isn't the most sound of arguments... especially with what you were trying to back it up with.

[Anubis_Orr]

She was created in a time when people didn't need story to move the game... as time progresses we've slowly become more dependant upon good storytelling along with excellent gameplay.

Hmm, don't know about this... Personally I always bought games on the basis of story. But hey I still read books so maybe I'm just weird ;)

[Lady Kreliana]

Like other people have said, I think the main reason why Tomb Raider is still going strong is name recognition. Lara Croft is more well known than Raziel. That's all there is to it, IMO. :)

[Umah Bloodomen]

Realistically, there is more room for Lara Croft to keep raiding tombs because her story wasn't actually centralized around any specific thing and is always left open for some new artifact or whatever. (Don't get me wrong, it gets old very quickly as I am sure the sales and hype around TR has shown, as have TR's recent rise in competitive series'.). LOK has been built around the concept that Nosgoth is corrupted and needs to be restored and once that's done, where do you go with the series? I mean in a forward sense, not in a chronicles-type aspect or into the stories of less-predominant characters. I am talking about with Kain. I seriously don't think you can accomplish much with him without altering his personality as a character and I don't forsee that to be something I'd enjoy.

There's only so much that can be done with any given series. I still enjoy the RE games, but the zombie-virus is how old now?

Exactly.

[Omega]

I quite like the Tomb Raider series. I have only played the fourth game (I'm still stuck on a level were you have to use a bull to push buttons - kills me everytime) but I have watched all of the first three.

I agree that TR may have come down a notch in popularity, but it doesn't negate the fact that as long as our favorite female (well, mostly favorite) is in the action and the school kids can still access the 'Lara nude' cheat - I don't think it's going to crash and burn just yet.

*goes off singing 'Crash and Burn'*

[Xcom]

Y'all do realize that if Tomb Raider geeks see this thread, there will be war.

(and it won't be the 1st one. They have already defeated Startopians).

You've been warned. :p

[The Amazing Rando]

We can handle them (well some of us). Maybe i'll just go post a link in their forum. Besides, kain rules all Startopians.



-All Your Base Are Belong To Us.

[Umah Bloodomen]

Hey, I am friends with a lot of TR people. They know my sentiments on the game. Bring it on. ;) :D :p

[KoolKat]

I don't mind TR that much - I own all five of the PS1 series.

But I still think SR is better - much, much better.

I also think it is sad and pathetic to hear ppl always saying how TR is the best game because of Lara's chest.

If it does go far, it is due to the gameplay, not how big Lara's jugs are. :rolleyes:

Oh and if any of those TR geeks are wanting a war, I say -

BRING IT ON!! :p

We're ready for ya!!! We're not as weak as the Startopians.

[willow]

I think we have far too many severe jackasses to lose an argument to the TR crowd. I mean... come on.

edit: kant spel todai

[KoolKat]

As I said... BRING IT ON!!! :D:D

[Ebil Vampire Collie]

I think we have far too many severe jackasses to lose an argument to the TR crowd. I mean... come on.

Oh yes. They would lose PITIFULLY. Anyway, us Legacy of Kain fans are WAY devoted to the series. It's almost like a cult. :p

[KoolKat]

True... loadsa ppl have LoK tatoos (I'm getting one on each arm when I'm old enough), ppl have had their rooms decorated Nosgothic style, check out the "Are you an LOK geek" thread for ultimate faithfulness to LoK and I for one have fallen in love with Raziel as Sarafan, Vampire Lieutenant and Soul Devourer.

Oh, one more point, half of us, including me would probably leap at the chance to be a vampire or demon, even if it did mean having to drink blood and not be able to touch water or extreme light.

Now how can anyone turn round and say we're not devoted fans? :p

Come on then, TR lot. Where's your signs of fandom..? I don't see any Lara tatoos, designed bedrooms or Lara geekiness threads.

[Ebil Vampire Collie]

Oh boy, I can see it now. ;)

I must congratulate Willow for having the guts to make such a thread.
It's about time someone stand up and shout out for the greatness of LOK. (If you think it merits greatness) :D

Your passion for the game LOK is infectious...However, I'm just an old poop who will not be infected by LOK or be deterred from Toom Raydah. :p

But if you're gonna start a war, maybe you should come up with a snazzy name for your cause....Like....Like Operation Kill....or maybe....Kill All Ignorant Nerds....

You can be the general...send out Umah for reconnaisance...develope a master plan of attack and then send out the troops to overwhelm the TR resistance..:D

Hmm...The Resistance..

[LARAMANIAC]

Well...........................................you people obviously feel threatened by Tomb Raider and Lara Croft! Such insults warrant nothing more than contempt!! I pity you really, you must feel so cold living in Lara's shadow!!! :D

Let the BEST WOMAN win. :p

[SexlessDemon]

*eyebrow raise*

Oh my.... perhaps we should organise a massive convention, gather all the fans from both the games and then let them kill each other off in an epic viking-style battle? :rolleyes:

[Lady Kreliana]

How utterly pathetic.

Please limit yourself to non-lethal combat.
Not that I care.. but it would be bad for EIDOS' business. :p

Didn't you see that Lara Croft programme? There was some bloke with loads of tattoos, all inspired by Tomb Raider. And then there are million of people that go out dressed up as various TR characters.
And we're not geeks...we're dorks...:p

[willow]

Okay I made this thread in good fun, but keep the punches above the belt.

I'm not bringing the Tomb Raider fans into question because they're just as devoted to that *coughtiredcough* series as much as any of us here with LoK.

But again... punches above the belt.. or I'll delete this thread faster than you can even think of apologizing.

[Deekman]

I actually found this thread to be a fun read.
My only problem was figuring out whether to post this over here.
Or over yonder.

Finally a topic forum members can really sink their teeth into. :D

Nothing like a good ole verbal kick in the crotch to rile the old TR faithful and start an inter-forum melee!

Let the mudslinging begin....
or maybe better yet, someone yell FOODFIGHT!! ;)

Maybe TR is more popular because It's actually based on something that's real (archeology)....and LoK is based on ummmm what was it, vampires and other fictional characters?

Well a lot of our storylines have been adapted from many religious sects, and I truly hope you're not implying that religion is fiction. (That's a bit more chutzpah than I have ;) ).

You know, perhaps if Kain finally bowed down and had those breast implants and jumped to a Triple E, we'd get the respect we want. LOL.

Does anyone else get the impression that a lot of this has been taken out of context?

Oh and of course Lara Croft is oh so so based on real life with breasts that big.

Dam I promised my self i wouldn't get involved in this fight but should Raziel and Kain fall under the glare of scepticism and criticism, i will happily get involved.

[Blade2642]

Okay I don't really like TR either the first two games are classic, but thats about all that good about them! (and Lara's two towers!)
LOK RULEZZZ!!!
No I don't look down on TR fans nor do I feel threatend by Lara and the shadow of her boobs.

And I agree we are all truley devoted followers! Like someone said: "like a cult"

raziel? you wanna kill lara please?

*note to lara fans*

raziel is immortal, a mere gun won't do him any harm.
he can teleport (well shift planes but it's seen as teleporting to mere mortals)
he can also fight with his bare hands (up to defiance) which is something that I somehow can't see trigger happy Lara doing can you?
he also has a wraith blade bound to his arm that would devour lara's soul if he doesn't do it first himself.



oh yeah, and raziel doesn't need to kill bats and dogs to make himself feel better...:D :p

[LARAMANIAC]

Kewl - as I haven't played LOK ever I obviously don't know the ins and outs of the game! Hence the reason I asked should I be afraid of this 'Reaver' thing?? :D I never said that LOK was crap either dear, I don't make random comments on games I've never played!! ;)

The killing of bats, monkeys, dogs, etc is a personal choice! Some more useful than others!! :D

Doctor, call the nice men in the white coats please!

Really people, why are you two sides competing who is the greatest game character? Both characters have their set of disadvantages and advantages, both are suited in their own environment and circumstances. Most importantly, they were created for people to have FUN (okay and for money too)

I can't believe there's a competition with who is more obsessed here. Isn't that usually a bad thing? There is a teeny thing called "having a life" out there :P (ironic words coming from me)

Besides, the Grey one has told me of the games he likes and I didn't remember a mention of TR in between Thief and Soul Reaver

:D

On a side note, I think my little reconissance mission paid off.


Behold our new *toy*... Muahahhahahaha! (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16836)

It's on page two of that thread.

EDIT: Slight grammatical adjustment.

[Deekman]

May be. But everybody knows the Grey one's real passion is yarn ball.
I liked the Umah/Lara piccy btw. Nicely done.
It's making me wax nostalgic from the old Cuttys vs Raiders days.
Is ther a Mac version of any of the LOK games?
I haven't really looked, but I've been a vamp fan since before the days of Pong, so maybe I ought give LOK a shot.
(since the Sixties, actually when I saw Dracula for the first time. I even saw the House of Dark Shadows movie when it was first in the theaters)
(not that I ever dismissed it out of hand - I'm just not a huge gamer in general)

Kinda.

If Tomb Raider is so great, how come it let me down? :(

The LoK series never let me down, but TR did.

Of course us girls all see through Lara. We know they're fake.

[Kain696]

I never got into the tomb raider games cause I like games with an actual story line like the LoK games and they will rule TR, even the very weak kain from BO1 can beat Croft

I do advise adjusting that signature image as soon as you can, please.

Just catching up on how the war is going...

I need to get me a back issue of the Eidos Community Review. This is the next biggest thing since man made it to the moon. :D

Ah yes, good ol' Yarn ball. What was I thinking? ;)

As far as Mac versions of the LOK series, you're a bit out of luck on that. (And I don't think they'll ever be ported to that OS to be honest).

And because I know you do a lot of graphic artwork, I'll refrain from busting your chops on even mentioning the Mac around here. (Can you tell I am not a Mac fan?). :p Although, I will admit the G4's are nice.

Overall, it's got a heck of a storyline. (More than just vampire lore) and very cool action. I think you'd actually enjoy it.

[Mgardiner]

Hmm this looks like fun, lets all get involved! Well uhhh Lara has 1 movie already out and a second coming, eat that SR/BO you just wish you had a hollywood production! (BTW great games but I just prefer TR more and the first BO more mind ya SR2 was quite good...but way to short)

Easy, easy... this war is over, you are late. Check here (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16836) for more details! :D

[Evelin The Winged]

Crud, I wanted to join in the fight!

[Mgardiner]

Ahh nuts lol

[CyCro]

Well there was actually only a cease of fire....

[Kain696]

good cause I'm joining my fellow vampires >=D

[CyCro]

btw, now that Mgardiner mentioned the TR movie, I think that it would be great if they make a LoK movie, I would prefer computer-generated animation! :)

[Apocrypha Roxy]

God, I was wanting to post this at the other thread, and it wouldn't work on my page, so I had to put it on another stupid AOL screenname, and by then it was closed...

But this punctuates my thoughts exactly.

Tomb Raider Franchise: Lotsa $$$
Legacy of Kain Franchise: Lotsa $$$ too.
Tomb Raider Movie(s): Major Cash Cow (still lotsa $$$)
LoK Action Figures: Nifty. $$$.
'War' between LoK and TR players: Nifty too. (No money.)
Apocrypha Roxy unleashing the secret weapon: priceless. :D :p

Go here to see what I mean...

yep yep read and giggle at my mediocre photoshop skillz like whoa (http://hometown.aol.com/jrippa5193/Random.html)

[Evelin The Winged]

Good one, Roxy.

My mother know's about LC, and she agrees with me that TR is a Playboy game when it come's to who the main character is. I mean, seriously, how can anyone see themself playing any of the TR games (excluding TR1, since she looked normal at least) when the character your handling has two hindunburg's that are likely to make her mess up in one of her flip's eventually...?

Not only that, but won't those give her back aches? :rolleyes:

EDIT: Is this 'war' over? If so, then ignore this post completely.

[CyCro]

Hahahaha! :D Good work, Roxy! Rayne is good. ;) Don't know what if she has to make flips though.... Well I guess the game engine will take care of them, eh? :p

[disco-fever]

Why don't all you LOK nerds just go and stuff it, if you don't like Tomb Raider, than don't play it! but its only fair to warn you that your breaking the forum rules ny badmouthing a corprate product.

[KoolKat]

Hey, Disco fever, it's only a little fun. Let's not let what happened to the other thread happen here (yes, I know it was me and for the last time I am sorry, but he did attack me first).

Anyway, we're not really dissing TR. It's just poking a little fun. They did plenty against Kain and Razzy in the TR:OT forum.

Calm down and have a laugh. You'll feel better. :)

[Umah Bloodomen]

I sense that if this continues, this thread will meet the same fate as the other one. :rolleyes:

[The Amazing Rando]

Alright, that's enough. The "war" is over. There was no cease fire, there was a signed treaty. That's it.

Wrong, he never "attacked" you, and then you overreacted even worse. Yes, I saw what he said, so don't go there, but there was no attack.:rolleyes:

[Apocrypha Roxy]

NO! Don't fight! Keep the thread open! Laugh at my stupid pictures!

I NEED INSPIRATION!!! :eek:


(And if you want to see some flips, play Bloodrayne. And she does it in a corset and 4-inch silver-spike heels! HER SHOES ARE WEAPONS! Talk about versatility...) :D

[Umah Bloodomen]

Then I highly advise those who contribute to this thread do it constructively and refrain from getting your panties all in a bunch.

Yeah, what she said... bunched panties - YEOW

[The Amazing Rando]

If you want the thread open, then I would suggest people stop trying to restart the war after it's over and everyone's gone home, but that's just me.

[KoolKat]

Rando, I never meant to restart anything. I was just saying not to take it so seriously, that was all. I said I was sorry, is that not enough. What do I have to do, leave the forum? :rolleyes:

Yes, I saw what he said, so don't go there

Go where? I'm not a liar. I don't make up stories.

Ok, I'll leave this thread before I become the cause of another thread closure.

Gosh, everyone always seems to overreact to me. I just need to open my mouth and ppl take offence. :rolleyes:

[Apocrypha Roxy]

-nervous laugh-


Heh... so, anyone see the new AoD trailer? Kickass, eh? :(

[CyCro]

Honestly, I can't be bothered with trailers anymore, lol. I'll just wait until I get the game. And it better be worth the wait. :rolleyes:

And I didn't know there was a signed treaty, my bad. ;)

Oh and by the way, it's not KoolKat that is trying to restart the war, but some uninformed TR fans... :rolleyes:

[The Amazing Rando]

Cycro, it wasn't just TR people, I saw at least 2 LoKers that joined in too.

KoolKat, throwing little jabs like "it was my fault, but only cuz he attacked me" is acting childish and would be what got this thread closed. The "don't go there" would be for a response like "Well, you didn't read what he said, you're just talking sides".

[Umah Bloodomen]

I think we can safely refrain from pointing anymore fingers (at members from either side, be they in the wrong or the right). Enough is enough already, and continuing to discuss it is going to further it even more.

[Apocrypha Roxy]

-points fingers at everyone-

It's YOUR FAULT!

-everyone looks at me strangely-

Eheh...

-pokes Umah. Umah gives a glare that would freeze the sun-

Oh... eheh... sorry... :D

-runs away-

-runs back-
BTW, Kain696, in your sig picture, Kain looks cross-eyed! :p
-runs away... again-

[Evelin The Winged]

If AoD is out for Xbox, I'll give it a try.

How's that?

[CyCro]

It's out for PC and PS2 only. There have been extended discussions in the TR section on that and nobody is happy with this fact. :(
