Overlord (just for fun) Spore And now maybe SimCity Societies. I'm not sure yet. I was never into the SimCitiy games, but since Tilted Mill is making Societies, I wonder if I might like this one more. A lot of controversy over it all, tho, I gather.

My sister would always stifle her sneezes...but she still made this little squeaky noise. Me, I just let it rip. When you're allergic to almost everything, you get used to it ... no point in holding it in.

The first season was mostly pretty dull. The other seasons get steadily better overall. I think I might be in the minority, but I like it better than Deep Space9 or Voyager. I think the show would've done better audience wise if the whole ST thing hadn't been completely over-saturated and overblown by Paramount, so no one cared much, by that point.

The only two battles I remember having a really hard time with in Kotor2 was Atton's bar fight and those mercenary guys that you encounter not too long after you first get Bao. They were bunched together, I was a Kotor nub, and they wiped the floor with me the first time and I tried to just charge into them. But on subsequent tries and game replays, they weren't hard at all. Everyone else, including bosses, were generally not very difficult. Unless you count trying to use Remote to actually attack those monsters near the end game, just to see if you could do it. So in terms of 'top foes' - for Kotor2 I'd have to say there weren't any that really stood out, at least combat wise. But story-wise, I like Sion.

"Wonder Twin Powers, activate!!" ... it is amazing when you look back at what one watched as a kid, sometimes ... And Tale wins sig of the week.

The 2-part episode of Enterprise where they went back to the Evil Empire alternate universe was really funny. Especially when they all started wearing the original series uniforms.

I guess that's good news, then?

I don't remember. Too many.

My first impression was "monkey!" Sometimes they improve on the old, but more often ... not. :/

I thought that was the key point, too, Steve. This sounds pretty ludicrous, from what I can tell, in my book.

I think one of the things that I found potentially attractive about this game was the concept of people uploading the worlds/aliens they create (or something?), that other people can download and add to their own game, making the game universe ever expanding/unpredictable. At least, if I understood things right.

Yeah, 2 years definitely sounds like a ground-up re-working. I don't mind if a game takes many years to create - Blizzard does that all the time - but seems like they did too much marketing too early, if that makes sense. Oh well, hindsight is always 20/20.

I'd rather it be bug free as possible, also - or having refined gameplay rather than rushed, if that makes sense - but another 2 years ... I wonder if they bit off more than they could chew in some area of the game that they thought they could make happen but is now giving them headaches, or something.

Hubby came home w/Ghost Rider. Not familiar with the comic, but have to agree, the character is pretty fun, tho the movie as a whole isn't that great. A good 'popcorn'/talk-to-the-screen kind of movie, imo. And Sam Elliot is always cool.

For some reason, I was expecting to see those tiny 'pet' cats you can buy, somewhere in the picture ....

I usually drew them away from Kreia - I seem to recall there was a way to seperate them somewhat by attracting their attention then running towards the outer edges of that circle/cliff walls. I don't remember exactly how I did all that, tho. :/ Energy shields are good - usually by then I had a lot of the highest absorb ones, and they helped a lot.

I'd like that feature. I should write to Canon ... And so far my day is mostly about trying to keep my cats and myself cool. Oh, and no cat has yet lost any limbs to the rocking chair.

All of them that are possible except the Handmaiden, since I never got that far playing as a male.

All very true. I was speaking more of laziness, anti-crowd+noise sentiment, and overall comfort rather than picture or sound quality, tho. The 50" plasma has been pretty cool for movie watching. It's not a theater screen by any stretch of the imagination, but for most films, it's enough to keep me at home.

I've never found airplanes a good environment to enjoy films ... But Breach isn't an exciting movie or anything, tis true. A somber character study more than anything else. I think without Mr. Cooper, it would've been nothing special. But I'm pretty biased in that regard.

Oh leave him alone, Sturm. There's no harm.

All the ones I downloaded, all game text was in English. Sometimes not very good English, but perfectly understandable. I'd assume they offer different language downloads depending on where/what site you're downloading it from, and/or have seperate servers for different player regions. Not sure tho. In some of them, I think I recall some odd tex chrs. floating around as some players conversed in non-english, but there were plenty of English speakers, as well.

I went through a period of trying a lot of those. Some of them no longer exist anymore, but yeah, they make a lot of them. Some of them aren't too bad, either.

Finally saw "Breach," which makes me realize that it's definitely become more appealing to watch movies in the home than in the theater, now. Even when I'm a big fan of someone, I wait for DVD ... Anyway, has a slightly slow beginning but after that, I loved it. Chris Cooper was awesome, one of his better (and more prominent) roles in a while. The other main actor wasn't quite so good, imo, but he did well enough.
