*scratches head* I don't get it either....

Blockbuster finally had a copy of Doom available. Since I wasn't expecting anything at all from it, it was mildly entertaining. Not, y'know, entertaining...just fun in that haha that was bad/look at Rock be evil haha kind of way. I kept thinking the actor playing "John Grimm" was familiar and had to Google him...aha! Eomer from LoTR. Much cuter in LoTR, hehe Did make me want to play Doom3 tho - not that I probably will. I liked the fact the monsters were largely live people/puppetheads rather than CGI. CGI can be so great, but it has a totally different feel.

Nice, but not red text. :cool: It's interesting how every person (including me) has a stylistic preference that's pretty dominant to everything they do. And DarthPon, you do know where the 'resize' button is, right? Or just work on a smaller size to begin with. Users shrinking big pics down themselves to tiny sig size will usually render the text pretty ugly.

Mainstream in terms of Neilson ratings? Those never really say much...have they re-vamped that system yet? I find on most game forums over the years - all of them, but particularly RPG type ones - that a large percentage of the "population" likes a lot of fantasy/sci-fi shows/entertainment, both good and bad. The seeming correlation always made sense to me, particularly given the average age range. Forums I've been to where the majority of the users rarely play video games tend to show a different genre/taste range - but still not always 'mainstream'. So yeah, sometimes different forum "groups" can seem like mini-demographic indicators. Most of those WB shows I've never liked personally, but I kinda stopped paying attention to most popular TV 10+ years ago...kinda like music. I'm turning into my parents. *the horror* :ph34r:

Very Best of 60's Gold disc 3 :D But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I

I have one...Little Nikita, a late-80's movie with Sidney Poiter & River Phoenix. It's totally predictable & tries to cross-appeal to kids/adults etc. - usually reviewed badly but I still like it. The appeal of River and Sidney carries it through for me.

"Khaaaaaannnnnnnnnn!!!" Wrath of Khan, The Undiscovered Country & First Contact were my favorites. The Voyage Home was a fun comedic romp of a movie but not traditional ST imo. Anyway, Paramount really killed their golden goose with over-exposure (too many spin offs too quickly) more than anything else. Movies I've seen lately: Re-watched Glory & Gettysberg. The Outlaw Josey Wales is next. :cool:

The new picture-scroller feature of Frappr I find quite annoying. :D

People will generally list stuff from their generational influence as favorites. It's a rather human thing to do, not just something from 'this board.' There's a lot of very old stuff I admire for media/format impact, mostly from my parents influence, but they don't spring to mind immediately because I haven't seen them in years and years and typically it's the more recent that pops into your head when you're answering some random forum poll. Plus a lot of stuff that you thought was great when you first saw it - especially if you saw it when you were a kid/early teen - doesn't 'age' very well in the memory, no matter how 'classic' it may be considered to be. I Love Lucy was huge and influential but....

I liked the Cube a lot. The sequels were terrible, but the original seemed fresh and cool at the time...I actually like the lower budget feel of it better than the slicker higher-budget of the sequels. I think a lot of people didn't like The Transporter but I did. Can't think of a film that majority say they hate that I loved at the moment tho..usually it's the other way around.

I'll probably post a few snapshots here and there too. I did, a little. I don't like the over-sharpened look tho. Actually the main problem is the crap quality of the glass I'm using. Often gives things a bit more of a grain even when it's in focus, especially with large flat light-color areas like the bread. Either that or it's just my eyes...

http://www.gimp.org/ I haven't actually used it myself since I already have PaintShopPro, and it's a little more work to install than the typical Window's program, but friends I know think it's great. Pretty much does maybe 80-90% of what Photoshop/pre-Corel PaintShopPro can do that the average user would want to do.

First Contact was so much better. The last one pretty much killed the entire ST movie franchise.

So get the Gimp, it's free.

Hendrick in the 10,000 meter speed skate was fun to watch...man you need serious stamina for that event. Poor guys look like they're dyin' by the end. heh Wish they televised more speed skating during non-Olympic times, I'd watch it. Maybe if we had 500 stations...

I agree...some mistakes/falls are part of any sport but it wasn't much fun watching the Olympic Ice Follies. Difficult it may be to play these sports, but it still looks bad from the stands. I might have said it already, if so sorry, but even Scott Hamilton said once that it was better for them complete a spin and then fall, then to not do the spin at all. There's too much pressure on the poor athletes I guess. I feel bad for them, really.

"Very Best of 60's Gold," disc 1. *sings and dances*

Thanks pixie, I knew I could count on you. :D

I'm not even convinced it's a photo. Well ok, maybe it started as a photo, but...definitely graphically edited...and not a true black & white, nope.

Soap operas? <_< Ok, here's mine, no order: Star Trek (TNG might be better but the original will forever be in my TV heart) Star Trek:TNG Giligans Island Twilight Zone (original) Nip/Tuck CSI:Las Vegas Family Ties Little House on the Prairie (yeah, yuk it up, guys...) D ick Van Dyke show (walnuts!) (edit..word filter...) The Flintstones There's more but you said 10 so...The original Smother's Brothers show would be on there but it was only on for a year.

After Googling that reference I'm not sure if that's a compliment or a pointed criticism. Meh....every amateur photographer has taken liquid-drop type pictures. It's like a requirement or something. Certainly not original or controversial. But it is fun. And I love macro type stuff.

Yeah, I wasn't sure at first if it was the new scoring system...I think someone already brought that up a while back...but I'm pretty sure it is now. On the one hand, it's nice that they can fall and still score well - since with all sports, one run isn't really enough to prove you're the 'best' - you're just the best/luckiest that day - but on the other hand, it appears to be making for less potential consistency in favor of extra high-tech marks. Who knows tho...

Piece of bread. It loses something when it's not high-res. Oh well.

I like the color, but I have doubts as to whether or not it's anything but a marketing gimmick...or a one-scene only type of deal.

I like the doggy pic. and mkreku apparently shares my fetish for...shaved cats.
