  1. It's a difficult subject you've brought up. now we are in the territory of interfering with parenting styles or a person's lifestyle choices. It always concerns me when people talk about controlling how parents look after their children. If a parent has a strong faith and strong spirituality, it's almost like they are not respected enough to raise their child in a manner that they believe to be best. I don't have a lot of faith in doctors, mainly because they try to treat the symptoms not he cause in many cases. Does my honest and best interests for my own child, get overridden because people don't hold my views? Don't get me wrong, taking an abundance of a chemical that clearly damages a growing baby, this can be dealt with. But we are in danger of taking too much control over a persons life and that is a threat to liberty in general. It's also like the argument over abortions. can we say on one side, it is ok to kill a foetus by use of abortion, but not ok to allow a mother to have habits that may damage the foetus? it is the issue of pro choice vs pro life. I struggle with it myself. I have strong liberal views so I would not want to interfere with a person's life and their choices.. at the same time, if I see a child suffering, I am strongly inclined to rescue the child. I think in these cases, the best way to judge the situation is to watch and see if the parent is acting out of love or acting out of neglect. if there were a case of people having a lot of high fructose syrup for example, if this actually caused an increase of homosexual people, do we go to the parents and tell them and let them make a choice, or do we go to corporations and tell them and let them make a choice, or do we make it law that no mother can eat products with HFS in it, or do we make it law for corporations to not use HFS in products?

  2. jj abrams? you just made me throw up. how could you think that jumped up imbecile could treat the guyver franchise with ANY respect after what he did to the star trek franchise? http://lunduke.com/?p=517 Don't get me wrong, if that was a standalone action flick and not meant to do justice to a franchise spanning 30 years, intended to address societal issues in a futuristic setting.... it would be just fine. I am sure many people like it. but when you consider that he was supposed to be doing justice to a much loved franchise, and he completely tore it to pieces, I don't even want to imagine what horrors that guy would do to guyver. I'm sorry, that is off topic. I just got very upset at the suggestion of THAT GUY touching something that is so precious to me. Okay, how about Micheal bay, maybe Uwe Bull... just let me pull of up a list of names, I'm sure I can twist that knife a little deeper friend.

  3. I was just having a think about it, and I was wondering, will this be similar to castlevania in some ways? I was thinking in between stages, maybe there is a world map. it's just how i was picturing it, maybe you planned another type of structure? If you are planning on having any cutscenes... I may be able to help out in some small regard.

  4. You are wrong. http://www.cblesius.co.uk/articles/CopyrightAndTheTranslator-WhoOwnsYourTranslations.html please do not start to turn multiple threads into a legal debate. it's enough that we have two already. it is making the site ugly. I will post this link in the spectrum thread so do not reply to it here. Aether, I would love to take a look at that video! I find the idea of translating from audio, quite exciting!
