Sure, he had links. Sure, they disagreed on certain things. But, to say Saddam had NO links whatsoever with AQ is just plain false. As for WMD, we know Iraq had WMD. We know they sued them. We know they didn't destroy all of them as they were supposed to. Do I know where theya re? No, but then again, i've never been to Iraq to ask Saddam where he hid them. We also know that Iraq had a history of thumbing their nose at UN resolutions over, and over again so just because theyw ere ordered to destroy the WMD doens't mean they didn't keep any, and most certainly had plans to recreate the program at the very minimum. Saddam Hussein was thrown in the trash. That's a good thing; not a bad thing. And, Saddam being the ruler of Iraq was the REAL reason for the US attacking that country.

"Iraq had no WMDs. Saddam had no ties to Al Qaeda." This simply isn't true. "The US invaded on false premises engineered by the Bush Adminstration." Not really.

EB is awesome. Best game store EVAR!

"The USA doesn't have that right to invade any country that might have terrorists and hate to break it to you Roshan, Saddam had no connections to Al Qaeda." The USA, like any country, has the right to defend itself from any enemy. As for the topic, taking down of the statue, the view of it was dependent of whjo you asked. Iraqi: "Oh glorious day, Saddam is no more; but I was made when the Amerikan placed the US flag up there." Non Iraqi Muslim/Arab: "Damn, dirty Amerikans! Oppression is a-ok as long as it's a Muslim/Arab oppressing another Muslim/Arab! Get off 'our' land!" Amerikan: "Woo hoo! Our troops kicked butt!" Non Coalition Member/Non Supporter: "Waaa! I was hoping, and expecting hundreds of thousands of Amerikan troops dyiung! That's all that perished! HAHAHA! Stupid arrogant Amerikan putting their flag on staute, and weakling iraqis needed help to pull statue down as a symbol of Amerikan dominance! HAHAHAHA! This will certainly lead to hunderds of thousands of Amerikan detahs!" R00fles! "Only the Iraqis can choose their path. We need to leave and let them." Iraqis chose their path. They wnated , mostly, a life without Saddam Hussein mass murdeirng and oppressing them. They also choose to kill each over their religious believes.

No. They are not irrelevant as if they don't sell it; I don't buy it. R00fles! "So until we hear something more, it has to be writteno ff." Nah. Everyone knbows a NWN2 expansion is coming. It's only a matter of time. This isn't like some random game generator.

Meh. The date is irrelevant. 9/11 is a day. A day that many things happen on both good, and bad. Heck, plenty of people have birthdays on that day. You sayin' they shouldn't celebrate just because of what occured in 2001? Come on. Anyways, hopefully this allows us to continue the campaign with our OC character. If not, it'll still be fun.

I define it by how many simarlities a particular setting has to Tolkien/D&D as usually when people whine about 'generic fantasy' they usually mean that. That said, generic fantasy is NOT a bad thing. In fact, it's a good thing. LONG LIVE DWARVES 4EVER!

"Vancouver has the best goalie in the league." No. That's Broduer. Luongo is top 5.

No.

Why does Llyr win again? That's illegal.

Bah. He should be there.

The East: ---------- (1)Sabres vs (8)Islanders - Sabres in 5. No contest. (2)Devils vs (7)Lightning - TB in 7. Brodeur can't score goals. (3)Thrashers vs (6)Rangers - Ranger sin 6. Atlanta will have a couple of games where they can solve Lundqvist espicially as he finds his play off legs after last years' disaster. In the end, however, Rangers even as the 6th seed is too strong to fall to Atlanta. (4)Senators vs (5)Penguins - Senators in 7. The new guns take the old guns to the brink. Experience wins out... this season. Beware the Pens next season. The West: ----------- (1)Red Wings vs ( Flames - Wings in 6. Flames only hang around due to their goaltending. (2)Ducks vs (7)Wild - Ducks in 5. Total mismatch. (3)Canucks vs (6)Stars - Canucks in 6. Stars hang tough; but Canucks have a good balance of offense, defense, and goaltending as Luongo makes his first move to embarass me. (4)Nashville vs (5)Sharks - Ooo... Toughest series to call. I'll go with the Sharks. No Nashville. Ooo crap. Too tough... Thornton, and Cheechoo are hot going in, I'll take Sharks in 7.

"If I may be so kind, the issue seems to be that you haven't enjoyed the Bioware games you've played. On the other hand, Volourn and I have enjoyed them a great deal. If this is the case, then you probably won't like DA and we will." Game over. Part 25.

A game that's fun. That's what it be like.

Rhomal, you don't have to convince me about you being negative towards a BIO game. It's as surprising as me being positive. Heh. "I said it

MVP Baseball 2005. I'm half way through season #9.

A habs fan with a chip on their shoudler. Heh. Don't worry. They'll be back next season. They gave a valiant effort.

Yeah. Aliens is new. It's been 'new' for 20 years. R00fles! That'sa ll I need to know to understand the delusional world view you are looking through. To each their own. Heh.

Congrats Toronto. NY loses; but thanks to Atlanta's victory over TB; the Rangers finish 6th. They'll play Atlanta. Part of me wishes for a rematch with NJ; but ah well. 'Tis life.

And, Sundin has 3 assists yet all people will talk about most likely is he didn't score a silly gfood. Cool match up, though, all set up by the Rnagers CRUSHING both Montreal and Toronto in the past week. R00fles!

"Want another lame DnD game instead?" Thems fighting words, Mr. You know I like me some D&D. "I for one don't define originality solely on the setting. Alien certainly isn't a new franchise, but it's the first time we get a full fleshed RPG made of it. Now if that isn't a reason to be excited, what then?" Agreed. Thoiugh, I should point that while I like Aliens well enough; it's amongst my favorites movies. Still, good, though.

Outside of his current scoring drought, Sundin has had a decent year. Evben now, he is getting his fair share of assists. I do remember earlier in the season everyone was on 'Sundin rules all ship'. Ha. People are so fickle. It's hilarious. If Toronto doesn't sign him, who are they gonna get to replace him. It's easy to dump someone. Not so easy, to replace them. Without Sundin, and no suitable replacement does anyone really believe Toronto will do better next year? Heck, the Rangers can use another top notch center. Send him to us.

"What orginal does their IP has?" The bigger question is what originality does the Aliens IP has? The thing is based off an existing license. As for what DA has going for 'originality'? That's easy. The world is new. It's also one of the very few 'Tolkienish' fantasy games that don't have divine spellcasters that recieve spells from gods. In fcat, DA's religion is more like the real world religion - solely based on faith - ,and not fact like in D&D where it is KNOWN that gods exist and they do interatc with mortals. The Origins are also vastly different than what's een. Not too many things are close to it unless you count the pitiful attempts by Troika with Arcanum, and TOEE which wer ebasiclaly nothing but mini stat boosters or less than 5 minute intros. L0L Read the linked htread. There's lots of stuff that makes DA different than from other fantasy games. It's also not based on an existing IP like the Aliens game. P.S. I'm not bashing Obsidian or their Aliens RPG by the way. I have no problem like some people when it comes to using existing IPS,a nd I think the game will be fun. I just find it hypocritical to bash BIO, and DA for being 'unoriginal' yet praise Obsidian for using an existing IP. L0LLERZ! "No matter what Bio creates, people will always whine about stupid little things. Says how spoiled people became these days." The real sad thing is the biggets whiners are as likely to buy BIO games as someone like me who praises them. Of course, there are things to criticize about BIO. And, heck, I've done it (which people ignore). Heh. There's even things about DA and ME I'm not too sure about. R00fles!

"I agree with sand nothing new here with DA." Not surprised at all. "I really don

Irrelevant. Alines isn't a new IP. It's been around for 2 decades or whatever. It's beyond pale, has had it's sahre of movies, comics, games, etc. made. It's not new, or original. Doesn't mean it's gonna suck (in fact, going by my experience with Obsidian's first two games, it'll likely be fun for me); but DA just by being an original IP is more 'fresh' than a pre-existing IP cna be. People already have pre concieved notions simply based on that fact. While DA by being 'new' can throw anything BIO wnats in it - even if that happens to be new twists on dwarves, elves, and dragons. R00fles!
