I was once on a seal-watch, but I threw up so it wasn't such a thrilling experience. When I got the chance to look at them, they were all like tiny black spots in the water and some black blur on the shore a few miles away. (Just to clarify, this wasn't in Hungary )
He he, I have been lucky enough to swim with the dolphins twice, each time for three hours. It was soooo cool! They came really close (they were the little Hector's Dolphins, the smallest in the world) but I wasn't allowed to touch them.
Seeing seals is something I do on a regular basis...its not like they are uncommon here in NZ...in fact I saw some just this weekend!
I've read through the plot of Episode III: Birth of the Empire - everything that happens. I wont post, because it will contain spoilers, but all I have to say is that it looks like we're all in for a treat.
I saw The Incredibles over the weekend and it featured a preview of Episode III and it was called Revenge of the Sith. It looks pretty neat. I still think it was a shame that audiences had to wade through the muck of Eps I and II to get to it.
Yeah you're right there, everyone is expecting a brilliant film which goes back to the original style, so to speak! I think it will at the very least come close to expectations.
Anyway I'll see it when it comes out!
Anyone have HALO 2? I've heard it's naff!! Apparently the plot is exactly the same with a tiny bit added on Earth at the beginning! Oh well I knew Half Life 2 would be better all along!
I saw an advert for Half Life 2, no previews, shame! It was just the symbol with the 2 in the corner then it faded to the details of it! Ah well, the graphics look amazing, and apparently it's a five disk install!
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.
The Official Xbox Magazine gave it 10/10.... Halo 1 got only 9.7!
There is no better game of that type currently out on ANY console. Buy now. Who gives a sh*t about the plot when you are playing a masterpiece in game development, and that's for its graphics and its sound and AI.
I do!! A good game needs a good plot not just good graphics and effects. I have the game and it is brilliant, the weapons are great, the new stuff is excellent but they could have developed the plot and not just used the same one. It's a bloody good game just a crap sequel!!!
If you don't mind guys I'd like to keep our thread below the 18 certificate!
General, Vanquished, calm down and keep your language under control.
And on that note welcome Vanquished , I hope you have a great time here, you will certainly find this a fantastic place to post about James Bond, or anything for that matter!
Now I have to say, whilst I agree that having superb graphics and being a huge advance in gaming technology is great, it just doesn't make up for the fact that the plot is exactly the same! That is just slacking off! What would you think if the Bond 21 was just the same plot as DAD but with new actors and better CGI (hopefully Bond 21 will be CGI free anyway!)?

Well the story is obviously not exactly the same - it is just a continuation. This is a war, and war is repetitive, really that is what it is all about - killing the goddamn enemy.
Halo 2 presents players with improved graphics, new weapons, the ability to wield to weapons, new and very impressive locations, new and sophisticated enemies, new vehicles. You can now fly banshees in the 3 and 4 player modes. Your men can now drive warthogs, and all other vehicles. YOu can hijack and alien vehicle you want. Aliens can even hijack your vehicle. The AI has been revised and redone, and it is now much more intelligent and strategic. The sound has been improved and we have superb music as was present in the first Halo game.
With all that, in a game such as Halo, plot comes second. Despite this, the plot really is gripping and better than the first game, but I shall not reveal any of it to you - you should see for yourself.
Oh and by the way, saying "sh*t" wont get this place an 18 certificate. You can find the word "sh*t" in PG films!
the ending is pretty rubbish u have to admit it just leaves the other sequels to repeat what has already happened ie. stop the covenant form using one of the many halos!!

So what is Halo 2 about? I have a PS2 and I'm always looking for a game to keep my intrest.
Sadly, I think the game is Xbox exclusive, Mr Martini
Thanks General. I guess I'll just keep playing Everything Or Nothing or Madden 2003 or MVP 2004.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
i think its funny how you guys can complain or rejoyce at those game systems, know what i have??? an N64. yea. no new games for me! lol...anywho...i think starwars Ep. III has a lot to live up to!
I like N64. I still play mine too. I have an XBOX but I never get tired of some of the N64 games, such as Goldeneye (of course) and Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time.
Both of those are excellent games. I often pine for my old N64 just to play GoldenEye. I'm not sure why I don't get the same thrill from today's Bond games. Even TWINE for the N64 failed to grab me.
Erm, yes but if you see a face in something it automatically becomes the virgin mary (or Jesus, it's just hard to differenciate because both are depicted with long hair!)
I thought she looked more like Marylin Monroe...

But swimming with dolphins is something I'd love to do! A dream, hey theres our topic! What dreams do we all aspire to?
I dream of being accepted into the royal accademy of music in London and playing me trumpet in the jazz band, some hope!

I thought the title was Revenge Of The Sith?
Anyway I'll see it when it comes out!

I apologise.. I am getting mixed up with all these rumours.
Rubbish!

The Virgin Mary's image in a grilled cheese sandwich, anyone?
The fact that it's being auctioned off for $70,000 really scares me. The woman looks more like the Les Miserables logo to me than a holy figure.
