You bought, and enjoyed Oblivion.

Maeh. I wnated a relatively cheap second game to go along with COD3 since I didn't know if I'd be able to enjoy COD3 until at least i got another 'newer' game. Nameo looks to be a poor choice though I haven't played it a lot.

As long as youa r eable to wait 2-3 years for ME to get to PC.. Back to xbox 360. Call of Duty 3 is a fun game, and that comes from someone who doens't care for war focused games, or FPS. A pretty decent leanring curve, and the way save points are set up and how it handles wounding/death; it's forgiving in the SP mode. Fun stuff. Of course, my RPGnerdness only makes me think how much more fun it could be to have a COD3 type RPG. Like one scene where the group commander and a fellow soldier get into it.. being able to choose sides, and what not would be cool instead of just watching the exchange. Cool beans. P.S. nameo seems to be a waste of my $25. R00fles!

Interetsing. IMO, He should take those shots. That said, we can't ignore his side either: "Jagr's argument is that he tries to avoid the shootout for the good of the team. We can clearly see his side of the story. Since he feels he's not good at them, he honestly thinks the team is better off not having him clog up a shootout spot for somebody else who may be better at taking the shots. He's quoted in the Post, "Trust me, if I knew it would help the team, I would be the first guy to stand on the red line. I always do whatever I think is good for the team. If I think it's going to hurt me, or I'm not going to be the hero, it doesn't matter to me, because I know it's good for the team." To me, without Jagr (and Lundqvist) they never would have made the play offs last year for the first time in a long time, and while they are currently on the outside looking in this year, with him they have a chance; without him they don't. As a Ranger fan, he is owed a break. Still dissapointing because I have more confidence in his ability during shootouts then he does...

Charles Barkley: Shut Up and Jam... the RPG?
Volourn replied to Darth Drabek's topic in Computer and Console
Definitely a weird premise for a basketball star to be part off. It could be good in that it's sobad; it's fun way. Too bad for the old style graphics. I still cna't belive this is an actual game. It *must* be a trick. -
"There's a sucker born every minute." And, I've just replied to one. Call of Duty 3 - Fun little wa rgame. Not normnally my type of game; but fun for what it is. i wish you could play co-op in story mode. Running over others, and blowing them up with atank is cool, and all too. Kameo - Not that impressive of the 15 or so minutes of it I played. Seems to be a striaght actioner. The transforming to solve various things is neatthough.

That's high praise coming from Llyr, too!!!

No. That was PST. L0LZ Amnesia L0LZ

It is released...

"My gosh, you got ripped off. I got it on PS3 launch day. Premium + Gears of War + Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter + Ridge Racer 6 + Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged for 450CDN." Jerk. I got Premium too; but otherwise you = jerk. "Oht btw, don't miss out The Darkness and Bioshock once they're available." Bioshock looks like it could be fun. Not sure about The Darkness. "EDIT: Ah,. found link. Late 2007." Yeah, ME will be out about 6 months before. I'd be surprised if ME comes out in March. "And it only took 2 years!" R00fles!

"Give us the rundown on Mass Effect when you get it. No spoilers, you swine!" I don't do reviews withoput spoilers. I find it rude to do otherwise. "Microsoft is releasing a newer X Box 360 with a 120gig hard drive and with luck the HD DVD player built in." Yeah, but I cna't live on rumours even if they are likely. Besdies, ME is coming in May/June so I doubt the new xbox 360 will be out by then.

Cost me about $630 including a second controller, and an extra game. I have Call of Duty 3 (came with machine), and Kameo. Not really my type ofr games; but I wanted a cheap second game to have choice. I'll buy a new one next week. LONG LIVE XBOX 360!! It be better be good! Now, to survive until Mass Effect and some new sports games come along to make it really worth my while! Muahaha!!

He's drunk. Jagr's one of the few bright spots. One of the main ones has been Lundqvist. Rangers' major problem is they are basically a 1 (.5) line hockey team. It seems, hwoever, the ex Hurricane the Rangers signed in the off season b/c of his winning the championship *was* somewhat of a Lockerroom cancer which is why they got rid of him for a crappy player in exchange. Hmm..
-
Where do you get your rumours? And, they had a shut out yesterday with Jagr gaining two points... Not too crappy. Even though, they haven't been winning that much in the last little while they've been in 99% of games. Most of their losses have been by 1 goal. As for the Jagr 'refusing' to take penalty (shoot out) shots; this is the first I've ehar dof it. i've heard about him complaining about the refs; but not teammates...

"Okay Volo. You're a liar. Using your now established background of being a liar, a logical conclusion is that you're lying about your experiences simply to try to prove a point. Cheers! " Sound slogical to me except I have nothing to gain by lying about that but I di when I lied/exaggerated about customers being evil. "Let's not throw around such emotionally-charged words, please." Hey,, he's not hurtin' anyone. In fact, I specifially asked him to call me a liar...

JE's not new. It's two years old...

"Weren't you the guy that used to call out people as liars for exaggerating?" Absolutely. You can feel fre to call me lair for exaggertaing too. I exaggerated. I lied. Big deal. *shrug* "I've been around long enough to know the customer is not always right. :Cant's grinning icon:" Heh. It's also true though that there's enough customer service employees that cna be considered poor too. Afterall, these are human beings so you cna get all types on both 'sides'. Like you said though, it's not about viewing the other group as the enemy though I find that feeling is more common on the customer side.
-
"The point, for me, is that it's not healthy to view the customer as an enemy. Sure, specific customers, but not every one. I mean, Vol, you've never had a nice customer? Once? Where the hell do you work?" I think you took my extreme view in my first post as fact. It was, I would think, obviously an exagagertaion. I don't view customers as anything but customers. And, I've dealt with plenty of nice customers. Again, I wrote was is often referred to as an exagegrtaion. I just don't care for the idea that the customer is the 'holy grail' or 'the customer is always right'. That's bogus. And, I've seen employer after employer side with their employees at least 80% of the time whena customer goes off on one. btw, Outside of my time working in a call center, I've never personally had a problem witha customer. And, as a customer, I've tende dto always get along with those employees servicing (lol) me. Then again, when I go into a store for business as a customer I'm probably be cosnidered the model customer. That's nopt bragging. Just a fact since I don't whine, and am always polite (unlike the 'net, or dealing with jerkoffs outsiude of that situation). P.S. L0LLERZ at McD comedy!

"I would say you should approach them all as if they are great." Nope. Never. Customers are pieces of crap, and I say whether or not I'm working or I'm a customer as well going whereveer. This doesn't mean that as a employee I treat them like dirt - I can take all sorts of abuse - but, customers aren't the be all end all for employees. the boss is. Customers do not hire, or fire employees. Bosses do. I've seen rather successful owners/bosses poo pah frivilous/or even non frivilous customer complaints and their business still do well. i've seen these bosses fire employees for other reasons ie. taking 1 hour smoke breaks/non coming in for work for invalid reasons/etc. As an employee, my job may be to service the cusztomer; but the goal is to make the boss happy.
-
I alreayd understand what you are trying to say. And, while parts of it are true; it's a cop out to say that 'without cusatomers there'd be no business'. That's just silly. It's true; but it's not why an employee has a job. That's why there is a business. Employer interviews you. Employer hires you. Employer pays you. Employer fires you. Not the customer(s). Period.

"And how can faith be out of place for FR? It's a world with 100+ Gods no?" Except, unliek the real worl god(s0, there is no neeed for 'faith' since it's pretty common knowledge the gods exist. They have tangible including up to them walking on Faerun. Don't need faith really when you know the gods are real.
