Volourn

"No, no you don't." Actually, I do. Only times I usually step in is when someoen trolls me like Howling did or people feel the need to bash a game I like in a thread it has nothing to do with.

Aristes: NP "What is really odd is how he takes the game when he runs away. I mean, why would you do that?" He was paid off my Jack Thompson? <. "I disagree with your later statement. This had something to do with videogames obviously." The fact that it was over a video game this time is pretty much irrelevant. Having him quit games cold turkey will not solve his real issues. If it wasn't a video game it would have been soemthing else like curfew, a girlfriend, or whatever else.

I avoid posting in threads dedicated to SOZZY games as much as possible.

"ME is all about Saren's stupid plot, and nothing else." Simply not true. Then again, anyone who prefers the much shallower KOTOR would think that, and not understand the awesome of ME. ME is also about humanity finding their way in space society. The game is also about racism - heck, one of the main love interest's is a racist -that's a lot more interesting than any npc in KOTOR by far. The fact that the game actually has the gall to AWARD players' potential racism is much darker and deeper and more complex than the vast majority of game sincluding that overrated semi okay trash KOTOR series. ME's universe is also shown quite a bit in the actual game when you inetract with characters - both in, and out of the party.

"Teens tend to lack personal restraint. I guess the moral of all these stories is to shoot your dad twice. " Oh, please. You make it sound like these cases of teens attempting to murder their parents because their parents told them no about soemthing are common and all teens do it. Most teens do not kill their parents over these things. In fact, it's more common for parents to abuse/kill their children then the other waya round. So, I guess it shows thata dults tend to lack 'personal restraint'. As for this case, it's tragic; but games had very little if anything to do with it. If it wasn't Halo 3; it would have been something else. The kid is scum. Plain, and simple.

"Bland, boring and it failed to keep anyones interest" O RLY? anyone? ANYONE? *ANYONE*? A N Y O N E A N Y O N E A N Y O N E?

ME is superior to both KOTORs in terms of story, characters, combat, graphics, music, role-playing, atmospher,e abckground, the world, and everything. KOTOR series *might* have better inventory. Might. But, KOTOR's inventory is still horrid.

"NWNs graphics were, and are, hilariously bad." No.

And, the fact you wait you wait around and stalk my posts so you can do such silly replies is very telling.

NWN looks awesome. It looks better than that horrible IE graphics.

That's okay! I'm not even Amerikan! I'm a traitor to my own country's football league which I find unsufferably boring for the most part!

"Philadelphia never gave up the lead from the first quarter" Huh? Anyways, my predicitions for next week's game which I dunno why i bother since I'm having a poor showing this post season going a measily 3-5 including having my Giants being dejected. PIT over BAL: No offense to Kerry Collins who I like but Ben is a better QB, and he'll be up to the task versus the Baltimore D. And, the Steeler D is solid too so goodbye Flacco. 31- 17 final score. ARI over PHI: Anyone's ball game. I see this as a high scoring game. McNabb didn't have his best game versus the Giants; but he did enough to win since Eli was even worse so i expect him to rebound. Warner is awesome, and Arizona has nothing to lose. It'll be a close but highs coring game that either team can win. 34-31 final score.

"Mass Effect is the probably shortest RPG I've ever played." O RLY? Even shorter than FO? I doubt that. There are more than a few RPGs shorter than ME even cutting out optional content.

Damn. Giants lost. I guess 2 superbowls in a row would have been too much. "There is quite a bit of mystery, or mysticism" Mystery, yes. Mysticism, no. Any tean can lose, or win for the most part. That's life. Not magic. "It's a good thing Eli Manning didn't choke, or things could have gotten real ugly in the Giants game." He didn't choke. He had a bad game. It happens.

"Half the guys in the league are going to be meeting their expectations if they score 10-15 goals." Huh? There is no contradiction. Age is irrelevant. Shanahan is a pure goal scorer who is paid to score goals. Half the league isn't paid to score goals so the expecations for them is vastly different. So, your mystical contradiction doesn't exist. 15-20 goals is what an Avery level offensive player should be striving for - NOT a Shanahan level offensive player should be striving for. Still, 10-15 goals at a reasonable price should be fine. But, that's if he delivers. Afterall, he had 23 goals (with a measily 23 assists in 73 games last season with the Rangers) so 10-15 goals is the best you cna expect from him which for Shanahan is a poor showing just like his 23 goals/46 points last season was not cool.

They won because they were better than their opponents. Nothing mystical about it. And, oh, Giants coaches should be punished for their lazy cowardice on that last drive. They basically gave Philly 3 free points. Morons.

Are you saying the playoffs are mystical? HAHA! Anwyays, they're more important than the regular season; but they most certainly aren't mystical.

"Delhomme played well all year and then fell to pieces in a vital game" He's had poor regular seeason games, too. *shrug* Nothing mystical about the playoffs.

"Shanahan has 131 points in 177 playoff games, which seems pretty respectable to me." It is; but that wa swhen he was younger. " Volourn, I thought you said choking was a myth in the NHL thread?" It is. Hence the quotations. The problem with Shanahan is not choking. It's that he is simply not good enough to play at a high level like he used to. he's 3rd or 4th line tops now. "If he scores 10-15 goals in half an NHL season, I'd consider that a pretty solid contribution." That;s a best case scenario. And,d on't forget he'll see a lot of power play time too. " Heck, for a 40-year old guy, I'd consider that decent for a full season." Age is irrelevant. If a 40 year old is going to play NHL hockey they better be able to perform like any player. And, for a guy like Shanahan, 10-15 goals for a full season would be absolute crap.

"Actually, Israel considers it favourably" Must explain why they rejected it along with Hamas and continued their attacks in Gaza. *shrug* "It's absolutely short-sighted of you to assume Palestinians will always back Hamas," Except, I never claimed they would. I stated that as long as Hamas is in power, true peace simply wouldn't occur due to Hamas' stated goal of destroying Isreal.

"I'm curios to hear what Volourn's definition fo choking is?" You have something stuck in your in throat, you make funny noises, and you cna't breathe. Usually occurs when you try to swallow without chewing. Also occurs in circumsatnces where you can choke on your vomit - much like I nearly do every time I hear someone mention choking in regards to sports.

Yeah, the 10-15 goals he'll score the rest of the season (if he gets hot) will be so useful.. before he 'chokes' in the playoffs again. L0L

Which was promptly ignored by both Hamas and Isreal. So, good on them for such uselessness. And, no, Isreal will stop the fighting eventually as they always do when the decide to finally listen to the UN. Hamas will go along with it while they are broken but as soon as they rebuild their weaponsstock, and promote some new leaders we'll be here again. But, nothing will relaly change. The chances of Turkey being allowed to send troops in is laughable. No way Hamas allows that without a fight.

"Did you watch Delhomme play Volourn? He looked terrible. Are you trying to say that both Warner and Delhomme gave it 100 percent, and Warner was just better? I would say Warner is a better QB, but that just seems like a simplistic view of football. They aren't the only two guys on the field." Perhaps yopu missed the fact of me giving kudos to the Cards' defense, right? Aristes: Call it whatever you want; but 'choking' is a myth. Delhomme played poorly. That's it. He, and his team got outplayed by a team that - at the very least - was the better team this game. Choking is a myth.
