    An interesting fact about Batman - he fights for justice but he's also clearly in the One Percent!

    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/12oSZanrY9A?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/12oSZanrY9A?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width='560' height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

    Why so serious? In the new trailer for Dark Knight Rises, Catwoman says:

    A gift that would probably make SimoxTa happy: The soon-to-be-launched AMD Radeon HD 7970 a nice upgrade over his current HD 6450.

    Thanks HT for another great giveaway! I entered for DXHR, not really that keen on Arkham City... never played the first games. Best of luck all

    Interesting facts about: the old serie of batman (the one from the 60s). There were several parodies in the names of famous places, a couple of them are:
    + The Pentagon becomes "The Hexagon" in the Batman series; and,
    + New Guernsey is connected to Gotham by the "Abraham Lincoln Bridge". In reality, the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln Tunnel connect New York City with New Jersey.

    About the pronounciation of "Deus EX", I always thought it was 'day-əs e-x'.

    I guess oasis789 would like for Christmas a 'subconscious pronunciation dictionary with the extended edition to antonyms and synonyms' ;)

    I should have thought of this originally. But any future posts you have to say what Robin would say somewhere in your post... like mine above "Holy flightless bird Batman". Not the best example but you get the point (or at least I hope you do).

    YOU MUST POST WHAT ROBIN WOULD SAY SOMEWHERE IN ANY POST YOU MAKE LIKE "Holy Holly Mistletoe Batman!" OR "The opposite of a girl is a boy!"

    LOL. I won't enforce it strictly. I really won't preclude anyone from entering either (well except for join date). I just want to sound strict. But shh. Don't tell anyone. I may just have to roll the dice more than once if a non contributor gets a winning number...

    For acting as the Joker on the first Burton's Batman movie, Jack Nicholson asked a percentage of the earnings... which leads to about $60 millions!!.

    I read somewhere that when DeVito told him he will act as The Penguin on the second movie, Nicholson encouraged him to ask for a percentage too. Also Pfeiffer got a percentage!. There was some kind of trend there xD

    I believe Killkenny1 wants a desktop replacement, maybe something like the Asus NX90SN (who doesn't??). And ozzfest tickets (including plane tkt, full paid)! Or some for the Wacken (again... on both, who doesn't??????)

    Conspiracies are one of the main themes in the original Deus Ex, and the game draws heavily upon popular real world conspiracy theories for many of its plot elements. These include speculations regarding black helicopters, vaccinations, and FEMA, as well as Area 51, the ECHELON network, Men in Black, cow mutilations, chupacabras (in the form of "greasels"), and extraterrestrials. Mysterious groups such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati, the Knights Templar, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission also either play a central part in the plot, or are alluded to during the course of the game.

    I think that ganzonomy whats a bunch of anime dvds.

    In 1992, Batman returned to television in Batman: The Animated Series, which was produced by Warner Bros. and broadcast on the Fox television network. The Emmy Award-winning series was praised for its darker, more serious treatment than previous cartoons. The success of Batman: The Animated Series led to the theatrical spin-off film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993), Superman: The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited. As with Batman: The Animated Series, each of these productions featured Kevin Conroy as the voice of Batman.

    In the new movie The Dark Knight Rises, you can see in the trailer that when Anne Hathaway puts on the pearl necklace, its an identical match to the one that Bruce Waynes mother wore in Batman Begins.

    Prop use, or symbolism? Take your pick ;D

    And Holy smoking batholes, Batman! Those tights make you look fat!

    (no idea how to go about that one =/)

    Question: Not being able to see Google Docs, did I ever make it on the list?

    Holy holy rollers sipping Midori Sours and gambling on ill-advised drunken shuffleboard matches while on vacation in Saskatoon, Batman! Here's a fun, but not-so-true fact about Deus Ex: While it's well known that the critically-acclaimed Deus Ex was produced by Eidos Montreal, fewer fans are aware that the universally-panned follow-up, Deus Ex: Invisible War, was outsourced to Eidos Scranton.

    And assaultsuit wants Terraria 1.2.
