"I think it is certainly valid to say: I enjoy Godzilla vs the Smog Monster more than Raging Bull. I do not think it is valid to say: Godzilla vs the Smog Monster is a better film than Raging Bull." Totally disagree. It's valid to see either one. P.S. This doesn't mean I personally believe G vs SM is the better film, btw.

"It reminded me alot of Icewind Dale actually" Outside of the D&D name it had very little of quality in common with IWD. IWD was actually a fun, well made game.

"Finishing up SoZ. Really don't see why people attacked it as "t3h most rubbishest EVAR!!!!11". It's still infinitely better than the NWN1 OC." No. SOZ is one of the wrost games I've ever played. Down there with the ES series, POR2, EOTH, DTU, etc. "And they got it. Best NWN to date." Nope. Not even close. 1. MOTB 2. HOTU 3. NWN2 OC 4. NWN1 OC 5. SOU 55. SOZ It even created a new word for 'crap game': SOZZY.

"secure such solid review across the board for such a crappy game?" Not everyone likes what you like or dislikes what you dislike. Perish the though.

Just spend $300 on a new xbox 360. Most of the good PC games are gonna be on it anyways.

Nah. I'll still be playing it for 2-3 months afterwards to finish up my league's season at that time.

NHL 09. Always NHL 09.

"If their objective with these trailers is to appeal to the Baldur's Gate crowd then I don't think anything could possibly fail as hard as these trailers." Good thing these action based trailers arne't trying for the BG crowd. They don't need to pitch DA to the BG crowd because they already have the BG crowd's money. *shrug*

"I don't know if the 'playoff choker' applies to Hossa anymore, Volo. He has 12 points in 16 games." I guarantee if Detroit loses these Finals with him that label or something eqivelant will be thrown his way. I won't agree with the assessment but no doubt the bashers will be there with the name calling. In fact, on certain boards, it's already started...

Now 10-4. This next series is gonna be tough. Pens are a much different team, and Crosby/Malkin seem to be on a mission. But, Detroit is Detroit and that means they are damn good. Wings have their share of injuries. There's also the Hossa factor. The guy screwed himself by going to Wings. If Detroit wins, he gets no credit because they did it last year versus him. If Pens win, then he'll probably be relabeled a 'playoff choker' and someone lameo will probably call him a curse for losing back to back finals with the two teams who played in both. L0L So, for Hossa's sake... I predict DET in 7. But, Pens can win. *shrug* The two best teams are playing as it should be. GL to both!

"roid-rage like celebrations" Huh? You need to be inflicted by roid rage to celebrate and have fun? You should watch old time highlights of celebrations. They can put Big O's to shame. "That's always been the rub in Basketball and hockey, the benefits of 'roids are fairly negligible in a sport where strength conditioning is only one aspect of training." Well.. in baseball, strength is far from the most important thing. Hand-eye coordination, and timing is. You can't hit the ball far if you can't hit it. Strength in hockey is very useful. For bodychecking (giving and recieving), digging in corners, etc. Do not understimate. That said, as always, steroids - like 99% of illegal drugs - should be legalized, anyways.

I have a habit of not believing drug dealers. The Caps including Ovechkin have supposedly passed all drug testing so this is just a trouble maker causing trouble. He got caught, and now is pointing fingers at other. It doesn't even matter if he is telling the truth as likely has no proof.

Yeah, i agree with that. Then again, sweeps in the Conference Final, should always be unexpected. But, what can ya do?

I can. Boston isn't as good as Pittsburgh.

No doubt. Kudos to boith. Carolina simply has no answer for those two.

Mike Keenan got ****canned by the Flames. Dissapointing as he's one my favorite coaches of all time; but not too surrpsing since they couldn't get past the first round despite having some good talent. Coach always goes with that kind of combo.

Shouldn't that be obvious? I came to Obsidian boards to discuss Obsidian, and their games. I post in the NHL thread to discuss hockey. It's not complicated, complex, or quantum physics. Why would I want to be ''friends' with fellow internet geeks I'm never gonna meet espciially when they post crap like this: "Sometimes your stupidity boggles the mind"? On top of this, this post and your post above it is useless because it's discussing us and not hockey. I'm here to discuss HOCKEY. Period. To be on topic: Crosby is a better player than Malkin. Even tonight's game with malkin having 4 points doesn't prove otherwise espicially since Crosby had two himself including the first goal of the game. No doubt in my mind a Malkin led team would NOt be as good as a Crosby led team with all other things considered equal.

"I think Malkin was reading some of Volourn's posts...Hat trick tonight...Pretty sweet." Heh. good for him. "How dumb is that? Wtf do you think a point is? It's either a GOAL or an ASSIST. So yeah, scoring goals or setting up others is the only thing he's good at. Gee, who'd would want a player who's the best in the league at that?" How dumb is the above quote since I never said any such thing? I never said nobody wanted him? Nor did I say he sucked. I said he wasn't as good as Crosby. This is a fact that the hat trick tonight doesn't disprove. "Sometimes your stupidity boggles the mind" Troll, a nd flame all you want and argue something I never argued in the first place. Crosby > Malkin is the only argument I've been making.

"Yeah, he is just doing it to argue" Wrong, and all you do is take things personally while I try to discuss the actual hockey. "Malkin > Crosby > Shanahan > Ovechkin" This, of course, just proves you are just trolling for a reaction. That's cool. Doesn't matter anyways. Pittsburgh is an awesome team and it's all because of Crosby. Malkin is just riding on his coattails. And, no matter how much you attack me personally and make it about me and not about hockey stuff isn't gonna change the actual hockey facts. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=423339&...vid=DL|NHL|Home And, more and more people agree with me all the time. It's all about the Crosby. Malkin can win the Art Ross trophy all he wants since points seems to be the only thing he's good at. And, oh, also playing second fiddle too.

"But in all seriousness, how can you say "Malkin would be a nobody" when he lead the league in scoring (not on Crosby's line most of the time)," Much easier to get points when the otehr team has to play their best defenders, and lines against Crosby. " and DOMINATING the league when Crosby was injured in the previous season? " So dominating he didn't even win the Hart. And, Crosby wasn't injured the entire season. Sorry, malkin is a good if not greta player but he is not as Crosby. Not even close. This is why Crosby, and Ovechkin put on a show in the PIT-WSH series while Malkin played tiddlywinks as he's an afterthought. I have no doubt in my mind if Crosby and Malkin were on sperate teams, Crosby's team would almost always outperform Malkin's team. No question about it (unless Malkin's team was stacked ala Detroit). Also, no doubt in my mind if Malkin was on Washington and not Ovechkin, the Caps would be a much worse team. You want to see domination? Watch how Ovechkin controls a game. Or watch what Crosby does. That is domination. Not throwing a lazy backhander at the net and the goalie letting a weak one in.

Yes, last night. For sure. Did you even read the article? Crosby > malkin even if Malkin collects 10 points. Malkin would be a nobody on a non playoff team if it wasn't for Crosby.

So, you believe in slavery? Wonderful.

"People who don't support the death penalty confuse me almost as much as socialists do. If you kill someone, you deserve to die, preferably in a worse manner than did the person you killed" It's much harder to pretend you are morally superior to someone when you demand they be murdered in a 'worse manner than they commited their murder'. isn't the point is we should be better than the criminal? btw, I don't uniformly oppose the death penalty; but the decision to go there should NOT be based on simple emotion. Many things should factor into taking the punishment that far. As for the case itself, the 'man' is obviously a sick piece of crap.

"Just hopefully they will add a male/male romance option. But I doubt it." Why? It wouldn't be the first BIo game to have male/male romance. *shrug*
