Now we must wait to see how long it takes for the prothean archives to be discovered.

Well either way, I obviously need to find a way to enter stasis for the next two hundred years, because fuck this century.

I'm just thinking of how hard everyone would shit themselves if they found anything more advanced than evidence that microbes might have lived there 10000000s of years ago.
Curiosity sends back photo and there's a Klingon in it. That would rule.

I'd be surprised if they don't find a Starbucks up there.
ETA: I can't help but wonder if there are already people claiming that NASA faked the Mars landing.

That is VERY impresive. There are people who would probably give an appendage for that level of talent.

As a rising star in Hungary's far-right Jobbik Party, Csanad Szegedi was notorious for his incendiary comments on Jews: He accused them of "buying up" the country, railed about the "Jewishness" of the political elite and claimed Jews were desecrating national symbols.
Then came a revelation that knocked him off his perch as ultra-nationalist standard-bearer: Szegedi himself is a Jew.
His mother is Jewish, and both her parents were Holocaust survivors. So how's he doing now that the truth has come out?
Quote :
Since then, the 30-year-old has become a pariah in Jobbik and his political career is on the brink of collapse. He declined to be interviewed for this story.

So they're remaking Rise of the Triad. And apparently properly, with all the original nutty weapon concepts, the same plot, the same awesome music and most importantly mid 90s style levels that require exploration and backtracking rather than encounter->cutscene->encounter->cutscene. The multiplayer mode was tested at Quakecon and was insanely fast compared to most modern shooters (although it had a few graphical glitches and the weapons were horribly unbalanced).
There's even a vid of them rendering "The Room", what I found to be the hardest level in the original game, made entirely so by having nothing but puzzles, switches, pushwalls and environmental traps, cumulating in you having to outrun a fireball to get to the exit. Not a single enemy NPC in sight.
Now that's going to be a very good game if they actually stick with all that and deliver it. But they've only been working on it for 5 months and are expecting to finish within 4, which is a big ask (although they had a working multiplayer mode based on the Unreal Tech at Quakecon at the start of August), so I'm worried about them releasing a glitchy shitpile that they never sell enough copies of to be able to fix.

Can't post a link yet do just google "Soul Reaver Reboot."
They are going to reboot Soul Reaver. I personally don't find this good at all, looking at DmC, Tenchu and other failed reboots, this will not go well. They should just call it a new IP instead of fucking up like Capcom did. Why do people feel that reboot solve everything? They do not!

Meh, never watched either, so I can't judge there. Still, in never in most video games cases. Hardly ever.

Tell that to Mortal Kombat.
Or Transformers War/Fall of Cybertron.
Reboots work the same way as sequels - it all depends on how they're handled as an individual artifact - they're not, in any way, influenced by their position as sequel or reboot.
Expendables 2 is far better than Expendables - this is not affected by it as a sequel, the same cannot be said of the Resident Evil Sequels.
Amazing Spiderman is terrible regardless that it is a reboot, Star Trek kicks all forms of ass and resurrected not only a dead franchise, but one that had been pounded well and truly into the ground - and then has Enterprise inflicted on it.
