So Leber, how close is yours to completion?

It's still here:

As in, no changes since I posted that. I wanted Ghost to finish up his first.

And I still think it's awesome. :P

Maybe, umm, the dialogue could be a little less cheesy, though. >_>;

Please no more cheesy language, that was what ended up ruining Ghost's video for me!

"Death before dishonor"?! "I can't shake him"?! GAAAH!!!

Stop reading Marvel comics and listen to REAL people to see how they really talk!

Jex... please take your comments to a place where people care about them. And good luck finding that place. I'd like to point out that you are the only person who has had such a negative reaction toward this project. I don't plan on tailoring a movie to one single person's desires, much less yours, and I'm pretty sure that Leber doesn't either. The movie was produced by the community and for the community and everyone from the community has enjoyed it to some extent except you.

Now if you really want to be productive, which I highly doubt, try comming up with your own "better" dialogue. If you don't have time, then stow it. I'd also like to point out that neither Serco nor Itani are "REAL people". It's ironic that someone can sit back and say what's good and isn't good when they are unable to produce something better themselves. Hell, even to be a critic you have to actually know something about the art. So study up and put up, or shut up.

I've had enough of your flaming. Stating your opinion is one thing, you've already done that. Repeating your opinion (that it seems you share with no one) in different threads is not only unnecessary, but annoying as well. Statements like, "Stop reading marvel comics and listen to real people to see how they talk" are just pot shots. Believe me, I have no problem taking criticism, I'm an actor. My career involves people criticising me everyday. But the idea behind that criticism is that it actually has an intent to improve. Perhaps if you offered some suggestions or presented an argument, I could understand where you're comming from and work the suggested changes into the next project. But essentially telling me the equivalent of "The dialogue sucked" does not help anything. Unless you like hearing yourself speak so much, or reading your own posts in this case, that it's necessary for you to throw whatever unsupported babble you can think of on to the computer screen. In that case, I'm sorry.

Constructive criticism is one thing, but the minute you offer ANYTHING even remotely constructive I'll back right off. I'm sure it's not beyond your powerful intellect. Hell, you might even gain some credibility. You never know, people might even actually start listening to your opinions rather than writing you off as a troll who posts only because he loves to see his own name on message boards.

It's my opinion, and though it was harsh I didn't really mean to upset you that much. I aplogize.

Actually, my opinion was "idiotic attention whoring" from the very beginning, but since I haven't actually had enough time to waste on getting my computer to play the damn thing, I didn't bother stating it.

Guess what, that makes two negative comments!

PS: Jex, if you really didn't want to offend Ghost, you wouldn't have said anything. As he's said, he's an actor, and everyone knows actors are the biggest bitches in the world and will fly off the hook for any and no reason whatsoever.

Genka, ladies and genlemen. The queen of generalizations and unsupported irrational comments.

I'm sorry the video was not up to your standards, but I am glad that almost everyone else was able to get some enjoyment out of it.

As for "idiotic attention whoring", I don't really see how this statement makes any sense at all (not that I expect your statements to make sense) being that this movie was made by the community as a gift for the community. I couldn't care less about where you place your attention genka. I'd just as soon you turn it somewhere else besides the vendetta message boards. I know that may be hard for you though seeing as how picking on people over the internet for no particular reason seems to be your hobby of choice.

If this is attention whoring, then all 26 people that worked to put this together must be attention whores.

I'm dreadfully sorry that my attempt to make something fun with the community has offended you to the point where you feel it is necessary to personally attack me on the message boards. And perhaps I misread your above post, but I believe you said you haven't even watched the movie. That makes you a real credible source on the subject... doesn't it?

Wow, you catch on quick, doncha?

PS: betcha "the dialog sucks" seems a whole lot more constructive after reading my post, dunnit?

I fail to understand why you find it necessary to attack me on the forums. At least jexkerome actually had an opinion to state. You haven't even watched the film.

On top of that, this is a community projects forum. Let me explain this to you so I am sure that you understand. Community projects are projects created by the community and for the community. That's exactly what this video was. 26 people worked hard to put this video together. If you don't like it, that's fine. But degrading myself as well as the 26 others without even watching the video is not only immature, but grounds for having your posting privileges revoked. That and I can't fathom why you consider it attention whoring in the first place. Perhaps that's just another term that you carelessly threw out without thinking first.

I'm sick of your rude and offensive comments placed haphazardly all over these boards. It's amazing to me that you actually entertain the notion that people actually care what you have to say anymore after you have spammed the boards with insults and flames. You are the low point in this community. The only consistently rude and obnoxious person I have seen in this game. For how close this community is, I can honestly say that you bring absolutely nothing to this game. As a matter of fact, you do just the opposite. You take away from other players' enjoyment of the game. Consider this for a moment and ask yourself, why. Maybe it's you that needs the attention genka. I made a project that I hoped people would enjoy. A gift for providing me with a fun gaming experience for quite some time. Perhaps you should do some research and find the definitions of respect and maybe even kindness, though that would be a stretch.

Try showing a little respect for the people in this same small community as you. Either that, or give your keyboard away to someone who might better use it.

I don't ask that you like me or anyone else for that matter. I certainly don't like you. But I do ask that you show the respect that is necessary for your fellow players in such a small community as this one.
