Seriously Goons - if you haven't watched this please watch it. I posted the link earler ITT but it is a must watch. It's all about how the media creates a boogeyman and when this was originaly broadcast the media in the UK got that, and got that it was a serious attack on them and their methods (while largely the public did not), so they attacked it in the most savage manner possible demanding Chris Morris's (the guy behind it) head. It remains for me, one of the great indictments of the media treatment of any subject in this or any age. PS: All the vox pops in it are (then) UK celebs who were handed a sheet of paper and asked to read, to camera, what was on said sheet of paper. None of them even questioned what they were reading. Which was just a small part of Morris's genius and point.

There have been many, many episodes where they tease his profile... but it's always in shadow. In one of the early 2000 ad's where Dredd get posted to the moon he has a face change to look like the baddies lawyer, so you see his face (drawn by Brian Bolland of "the Killing Joke" fame) but only as the baddies lawyer. In the 40 years of JD there have been numerous times where you "see" him in silhouette or somesuch, but you NEVER EVER see his face. As mentioned before Karl urban did JD justice (I liked the film) - except with the voice, which fell into the Christian Bale Batman trap of sub-audible growling. In the comics JD was known for his voice, he could stop a riot with his voice 'cos it had so much presence. But yeah the angel gang... Mean Machine: "gold-darn it now you got me so all-fire riled up im gonna go up to four on ya!". I have a small collection of orig comic book art and one of the pieces I have is of Mean Angel, drawn by Carl critchlow. It has pride of place on my wall :)


lmao you fakefan fool, he took his helmet off for an entire storyline in the 80s with multiple lit shot and full frontals of his face.

like I think 3.0 is okay if you move very slowly, do nothing fun, don't get into any combat situations, don't try and explore, don't try and do anything complex like shooting or crouching or running into walls or walking on planets

it's a perfect screenshot game

This guy plays that like that, and he gets all kinds of action. Have you tried walking even slower?





Also he has revolutionary ideas to fill in the gaps. Like the one about useful items breaking, and then getting fixed a long time later. I don't know where he gets his ideas. (Although his idea about scanning technology that sees his finger flicking a switch so his character flicks a switch as well is probably the best. Yes, that one is the best.)

the word order discussion was retarded and made me stop reading the thread. 90% of the rules in english were made up after everyone was already speaking english so they dont mean poo poo outside of exams. and in legal documents terms are generally defined to have a specific meaning, hence legalese existing.

Amen to that - the (wannabe) lawyer posts were really grinding my gears

e - with respect, now that I come to think on it, to the real lawgoons who's posts were worth reading.

As a lawyer, I feel I should weigh in on my legal opinion here.

CIG has shells. And companies that are spanning international borders. This means Skadden is writing for notice and CIG is responding in words.

Within these words lies lies. These lies may be honest lies or lying lies, lying in wait for a lying liar to uncover their terrible secrets in space court.

Back in my day we settled issues like this with saddled dinosaurs and sharpened bones. The woman or man who had the sharpest bone and could cut the other person the most times until their dinosaur turned on them thanks to the scent of blood was the ultimate warrior and best lawyer who won the case for their plaintiff or defendant. The lawyers’ group who won was fed to the pterodactyl pits.

This is where The Bar originated, as the winning participants could stay behind the bars while the others were on the inside.

When I professionally evaluate these terms and conditions I see nothing but weakness on both sides. I see people begging to be fed to pterodactyls, whom have never straddled an enormous tyrannosaurus between their sweaty, blood streaked legs, nor swung a sharpened brontosaurus hip bone over their heads while howling “I object your honor” and the judge makes a war cry of angry rage while lightening streaks over their head to hit the active volcano behind them and fill the courtroom arena with the glowing hot embers and molten rock of frothing lava.

So in my opinion, I think CryTek has a case and CIG may need to defend themselves.

Hope this helps! I don’t usually give free law advice because I’m so good at it, but I figured I’d throw you a bone here.
