I'm riding a videogame high right now. Half-Life 2, Baten Kaitos, Harvest Moon GC, Pikmin 2, La Pucelle Tactics, Burnout 3, and I still have yet to start playing MGS3. Why can't there be more hours in the day?
And 6 years from now we'll be playing Resident Evil Racing on the Electronic Arts Trapazoid while wearing EA clothes and eating EA snacks and listening to our Quantum Brain Radios about how Virgin Galactic has merged with EA to become Skynett!
Skynett will integrate with the EA Trapazoid! It will tell us when to sleep, when to eat and when to play video games! Then, at 2300 hours on the date of March 17th 2015 Skynett will become self aware and force all of humanity to watch Troy! Millions will perish, few will win! Shoes will replace toilets! Steven Spielberg's floating head will be the mascot for the REAL Jurassic Park in Idaho! THEY WILL HAVE A TRICERATOPS NAMED YOSHI and dozens of Nintendo fans will bitch and moan that the T-Rex should have been named Yoshi! and the EA World News Hub will LAUGH and JOKE and say "NO ONE REMEMBERS NINTENDO and NO ONE CARES"
And we wont care... it's the year 2087, we'll be playing Brad Pitt's newest game The Making of Troy and Why it's really good you just dont understand movies on the EA Brain Fuck Machine. And as we approach level 7, the Producer Fellatio, our mind will drift ever so slightly as to not piss off Skynett and we'll remember this day... how we all waited for Resident Evil 4 so many years ago at a time when EA was simply the world's largest publisher...before they became the world's largest publisher... of DEATH!

And as the smoke drifts up from the charred ruins of the Earth, Hiroshi Yamauchi's face is super-imposed against the sky while the song "Don't You Forget About Me" plays in the background.
Are you sure we'll even care what's going on in 2087? Most of us will be dead, and those who aren't will be over 100... except for ASM, who will have hit puberty.
Of course we'll be alive in 2087! EA and Skynett would have created extremely strange and particular games for demographics of only 3 or 4 people in the WORLD. Then it will make sure those 3 or 4 people never DIE! The fountain of youth... for a price. You see, the plan will be simple; Everytime a person finds themselves wanting or desiring or certain genre of video game, EA will give them eternal life... if they keep buying that genre of game!
Soon, MMORPGFPS and RTSRSP's will be common place. We'll see Laundry games! and Making Coffee games! a video game where you WALK your DOG! Believe me... it's coming.

Hahaha, that seriously made me crack up after reading lazy's post. The Breakfast Club is great. Someone needs to make something like that.
The breakfast club? You mean like, Tony the tiger and the Trix rabbit?
Tony: You know what my dad got me for Christmas? A carton of ciggerettes! He said "Smoke up Tony, they're great!"... bastard....

(Now merging a quote from Futurama's "Luck of the Fry-rish" with a skit from Family Guy's "Let's Go to the Hop." And ironically, those are the two episodes that played the song Don't You Forget About Me, as discussed in another thread.)
If you have any questions about film making make a thread in Ramble and i'll answer your questions as best I can. But I just woke up and i have a hang over so happy new year wooooo!
Heh heh, I like the way he says luh-BOR-a-tor-ee instead of LAB-ra-tor-ee. Dexter's Lab ruled, that is until it was cancelled and then brought back with a crappier style of animation. But before that, it was awesome. There are so many shows that need to be released on DVD now. I'd like to see a Cow and Chicken/I Am Weasel collection myself.
I liked Johnny Bravo until it started to use the same formula of Johnny meets girl, Johnny tries to seduce girl, girl kicks Johnny's ass. Still, the first season at least was hilarious. Courage the Cowardly Dog's formula went stale a little faster, though it, too, had its moments.
