Hey guys,
Let me ask you this. What is your opinion about NS2, and do you think it will kill NS1?

Or, do you think that the current players will play both games and continue to post on both forums?

I think NS1 should declare a preemptive strike on NS2 before such a horrible instance occurs.

NS2 won't get a chance because I've already killed NS1. NS1 hasn't noticed yet, of course, but I assure you, the deed is done, and there is nothing you can do about it Mr. Falkasia.
Ha! Ha! Hahahahahahaha!!!

I highly doubt that you have killed NS1 singlehandedly. This is a serious topic, so please, only serious answers.

They said the same thing about Columbus, and you know what he did. Well, they didn't say the exact same thing about Columbus, but it was pretty close.

It's too late, the drunks and jokers are already in the door.

"You can't possibly expect to make two wildly successful, blockbuster comedies about a pre-teen being accidentally left alone over Christmas and fighting off the same pair of incompetent thieves with homemade booby traps!"
And they were right, Home Alone 2 was crap.

And they were right, the second one was crap.

It may have been crap...But, can you argue it wasnt, financially at least, Wildly Successful?

I apologize for the irreverent post. In seriousness, I doubt NS2 will kill NS1. Given the extra bells and whistles which will significantly affect gameplay, I think NS2 will develop a distinct dynamic from NS1, and that each of which will have its own fanbase, with many playing both.

No, that seriousness post wasn't directed towards you. Your's was actually pretty funny to be honest!
*Nukes labeled NS1 explode behind the NS2 Logo*

You have a good point by the way.

I believe the fans of NS1 and the fans of NS2 will declare war on one another!

NS2 won't kill NS1. Did DVDs kill off VHS? Did the internet hurt daily newspaper circulation? Of course not. NS1 will be here forever. :)

Well, I kinda object to the DVD killing VHS. Besides older movies, do stores ever sell VHS tapes anymore?

Other than that, good point!

Its getting harder to find older movies on VHS too, theyre reformatting them to DVD...

We actually tried to find "Its a Wonderful Life" on VHS last Christmas...only was on DVD however, had to watch it on my PS2 cause we no longer have a remote for our DVD Player, lol..

Umm, when was the last time you used a VHS?

Yes. Well, the Legitimate Video Stores That Aren't At All Just Sex Shops With A Few Rows of Non X-Rated Movies in the Front, So You Don't Need to Feel Embarrassed About Coming In Here Or Worry About Your Mother Seeing You Around Here still carry a random assortment of VHS.
Also the preschool I teach at was giving out VHS, though the school is mainly for low income kids, so that might have had something to do with it.
But, otherwise, I'm sorry for spamming up your thread, and will now be sailing off into the night.

I'm going to be fascinated to see who will be able to make the transition to the stricter (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13943212&postcount=6) modding in NS2.

We mods, with our irreproachable virtue and our absolutely enormous vocabularies, will have no problem being clean and bright, of course. But -- look deep into your hearts here -- will you? :D

Id probably get flagged alot...Although they already took the vulgarity out of my sig here, lol...

At first i thought creatively, and i laughed....but then they just kept quoting the same rule and were no fun for conversation...:rolleyes:

Wilgrove, it is not clean and bright to quote a mod's post before she has had a chance to fix up the wonky link. So there.

Hey, if people are allowed to preserve my mistakes in quotes, I should be able to do it to them. Turnabout is fair play my dear.

I expect some people will probably switch to NS2, some will stay here, and some will maintain accounts in both games.

I certainly have no intention of abandoning this nation.

I went ahead and impregnated NS2. That bitch will be too busy changing nappies and waking up in the middle of the night to bother us. That'll teach her.

Your average "Reality Television" shows are wildly successful but they're still crap.
