  1. Lundqvist has played poorly. When he plays poorly, Rangers ar eno good. When he plays like Lunqvist, they are true threats.
  2. Lundqvist will gon a streak because he gots robbed and had his All Satr berth stolen from him. Don't feel bad as the Kanadians are only his first victims.
  3. Pretty bogus. Sundin, and Lundqvist should have been there. The defensemen are kind iffy as well.
  4. Seattle New England Indianapolis New York Giants
  5. "The Witcher's very much a step in the right direction," The Witcher's 'diretcion sin't even new. It's old. So called 'dark fantasy' is nearly as old as stereotypical fantasy. So are unstereotypical dwarves, elves, and so on. Heck, D&D, the so called King of Fantasy Stereotypes variants of all the normal races - seafaring dwarves, surface dwarves who hate underground, elves who prefer caves, the non aggresive orcs, the barbaric halflings, and on son so forth. D&D isn't even all Happy Happy Land. The prototypical Realms have a darkside to them. See Thay. See Calimshan. See Maztica. Then there's Dark Sun. The Wicther is a good game that is so overrated espicially whenj it comes to it's 'maturity', and it''s 'newness'. It isn't mature, and it most certainly not new. Fantasy covers so many things it's ridiculous to label it in any one. Heck, when even D&D the so called primer example of 'generic fantasy' broke the mode decades ago, it's hilarious, to find anyone thinking that 'dark fantasy' is a new concept. P.S. Even FR video games have covered dark issues. Some small examples include that child killing dwarf in BG1/BG2, the NWN OC quest which had a grieving mother basically commit suicide, PST's potaganist, and the list goes on. R00fles! P.S. As for the whole terrorism thing.. I'm not saying that's a new concpet in the real world. It most cetrainly isn't. But, it's most certainly along with the concept of freedom fighter in vogue right now. It's certainly a catchphrase that comes with a certain meh to me now. P.S.S. Mr. gaider actually feels it doens't really do the DA elves justice anyways one way or the other.
  6. "I also don't understand the widespread aversion to shaking up a ridiculously stale genre, honestly" Fantasy genre isn't stale. That's a myth. It's as awesome as it always was.
  7. NHL 08 (xbox 360), and Holye Card Games 2008 (PC). NHL 08 is hella fun, and best hockey game in years despite certain annoying quirks. I';m in my 3rd season of franchise mode. First. two years I sucked, and was last overall. Half way through the season I'm now 19-17-7. Much improved. I play on All Star. I have laos played some on line games. It's mostly fun. however, I hate players who use the deke button since it is guaranteed a goal sicne the goalie simply cna't stop it. Annoying when you surrender 7 goals on 15 shots because of it. Otherwise coolio benaio. Want to participate in some sort of online tournament or whatnot too. Card games is pretty fun. I can't stop playing it. HA!
  8. Sundin should say no. he shouldn't allow Toronto benefit from trading him if they want to treat their best player like trash and throw him away like yeserday's garbage. They should be stuck with him until the end of his contract, and get NOTHING in return.
  9. "2. Dwarves are outcasts?" I don't think that's what it' saying. It's saying that vthe dwarves who live underground view other dwarves who decide to live on the surface as outcasts. Not that dwarves in general ar eoutcasts. In fact, it seems that elves are the ouytcasts. My question with the elves being terrorists/freedom fighters is whate xactly are they fighting against? Hmmm.. And, I have to say I'm dissapointed in that. It seems like sensational stealing of current events. Tsk, tsk. P.S. Dwarven females in most fantasy, espciially D&D, rarely have beards to begin with. That myth, espicially concerning D&D, is silly. Check out 'Complete Book of Dwarves' for evidence. Anyways, people should stop writing articles about vapourware. It's Duke Nuke 'Em all over again. R00fles!
  10. Sonic Chronicles for DS. L0L Tsk, tsk. I've never been a fan of Sonic. Tsk, tsk BIO. Two strikes: A. A Sonic game. B. On a platform I don't own, and don't see no reason to buy unless your game gets 100% across the board, or I get a raise at the job. Seriously, a Sonic RPG? I'm sure it'll be a good game consideirng whose making it; but meh.
  11. "I had one going with Kor and Llyr, but I haven't had much time to play lately. I'll join your league when I get a chance. You might want to put a password, unless you want a bunch of random folks in the league." Random folks ar ecoll unless they are punks. As creator, I can kick them out, right? I'll think of a passowrd, otherwise. "This doesn't mean I'm taking you off ignore on these boards" You have me on ignore... yet read my post. Peculiar. Heh. I'm 4-6, IIRC online. I do alright excpet one game where I lost 7-1 because the guy used the 'deke' move which seems to be insta goal. H ehad 15 shots to my 25 or so. I wa sall ove rhim; but give a breakaway and it wa smoney in the bank. Annoying when there's a way tos core that the goalie cna't stop no matter what. L0L
  12. I've set up a torunament for all the NHL 08 Live freaks (if there's any since you guys seem in love with COD4 currently). It's called 'Cannonball Tournament'. 8 players, 3 games, no password. If you have knowledge of other torunets with openings give me a shout. P.S. I'd play COD4; but don't have it. Got COD3, though, HA!
  13. Yes. Got it working now. C00li0 beani0.
  14. "Volo got ripped off lol" MS is gonna get ripped if it doesn't start wolrking. It even says I have a Gold Membership in my profile. L0L And, I have it to February next year. Heh. I've posted a thread on the Live boards. If no help is there, email time. <>
  15. Bah. Update, I'm registeed as a Gold Member now, and can go online; but cna't play games for some stupid reason. It says my live Membership 'limitations' disallow it. That's bogus!
  16. If someone wants to play NHL 08 with me online, I'll be on Live in about 10 mminutes. Just got the 13 month deal. Garghoo! User name is obviously.... Volourn! Shocking, I know.
  17. "NFL passing leaders don't win the SB mostly because the biggest passing games tend to be the ones where your team is trailing by 3 TDs for most of the 2nd half (i.e., crappy defense correlates strongly with high passing yards, and teams with lead usually get conservative and stop passing so much)" Must explain Peyton's big season. His team was trailing a lot there. L0L
  18. Good. Fanatsy games are fun. That's all that matters. Or.. does everybody here hate MOTB or The Witcher? R00fles!
  19. That's why they are fiction; but not fantasy. Git it? When I say based on, I mean no liberties taken with the story. LOTR = Fantasy Pearl Harbour = Fiction Most documentaries = Non Fiction
  20. "No, that's called fiction." Nope. Not true. Fiction is anything not based on a true story. I write a story about someone being kidnapped even though it didn't happen. That's fiction; but it's not fantasy. Completely different than fantasy.
  21. "AFC WILD CARD WEEKEND: (5) Jacksonville over (4) Pittsburgh (3) San Diego over (6) Tennessee NFC WILD CARD WEEKEND: (6) Washington over (3) Seattle (5) New York Giants over (4) Tampa Bay" 1. Pittsburgh 2. San Diego 3. Seattle 4. NYG " I'll take Tampa. Yes, the Giants looked good against New England, but a lot of bad teams have looked good against New England this year. Playing the Pats seems to get everyone wound up and playing above their heads in the second half of the season. Manning will throw four interceptions in the first half and that will be that." Except the Giants aren't a bad etam, and certainly aren't worse than TB. They had a better record depsite a much tougher schedule, and division. TB, outside of Garcia, isn't that scary. Garcia barely beat the Giants last year depsite helming a much better Philly squad than TB.
  22. To me, it's rather simple. Fantasy is anything impossible in real life. Period.
  23. "The Black Whirlwind was over-the-top comic relief" L0L Minsc L0L "But better than Kotor? Nah, no way." Better. Easily. KOTOR is easily BIO's most overrated game. By far. JE, and NWN are tied for BIO's most underraqted games. The cool thing is that NWN has it's revenge for by being BIO's most *successful* game. R00fles!
  24. Nah. It's writing, while not the best, is underrated.
  25. I cna't believe people think JE's writing and dialogue are worse than other BIO games. It's leagues above eitehr BG game espicially BG1. It's superior to NWN, and KOTOR as well. No doubt about it.
