Volourn

"I'm not sure why I'm responding to Volourn, since he's always right and I am always wrong" Yeah. You are right. I am wrong.

"Boy, I sure hope that title gets released on other consoles, or maybe even the PC!" The majority (if not all) EA sports titles usually do so i don't think you have anything to worry about. "10 years ago, the EA hockey games were only good on the PC. The console versions paled in comparison." False. And, even if was true (and, it isn't); you seem to think it's ok for the consoles to get shafted. LOL Talk about a double standard. P.S. NHL 2007 looks great. NHL 2006 was pretty bad. One of the worst EA NHL games to be made.

Halloween - Not as good as I remember.

"Tell your friend that the first Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games were dumbed down Ultima clones. Still are, if you ask me." Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! But, no.

He's as close minded as the opposite side who claim that FFish games aren't 'RPGs', and only 'Western style' RPGs are. They both are - just with different focuses.

Delta Force 2 - Chucky at his best Highlander - There Can Only Be One... I know, peons will laugh, but, the sequels are better, this replay viewing proves this The Transporter - Solid action movie, silly 'love' story as evidenced by the fact it was dropped like a hot potatoe in part 2 The Transporter 2 - Much better than the first, action scenes were very cool

Yes! Shanahan is a Ranger!

"Wow, the girl voicing Neeshka is gorgeous."

The 'behind the scenes ' video seems old. The red dragon talk was awhile back...

The graphics aren't going to win awards; but at least they don't make me puke ala a certain other overrated game graphically. This game looks to have most of what I'd want in a game.

Very rarely. We do at times because some of our players like them. It doesn't bother me eitehr way though miniatures, and hex/gridmaps do help in keeping combat movement/aoo more exact though; but they really slow down the game at times.

"The wishes that he gets maimed or whatever is just because the city has a strong emotional attachment to the team." There's a definite difference between having a 'stronge motional attachment' to a team, and being a 'psycho' about. Seriously wishing harm on someone because they basically want to switch jobs (for whatever reason) is simply uncalled for and wrong. And, don't tell me that those who have wished harm on him don't mean it; because most definitely some of them actually do. I have a 'strong emotional attachment' to the Rangers but I have NEVER wished harm on any player who for whatever reason has said he wnated to leave the team. There is no exuse for that kind of nonsense. Even if if he had demanded a trade in midseason, or basically stopped trying ther estill be no reason to wish harm on him. But, then again, I'm civilized. I don't think wishing harm on summon whod oens't wish to live in a certain town is a good thing. Meh. Again, it has nothing to do with either it's an Edmontonian, a New Yorker, or hatever city. That's why I laughed at Quebec's reaction to Lindros not wanting to play in Quebec espicially what he did was even cooler than Pronger; because unlike Pronger he never agreed to play for Quebec. He was 'enslaved' to them buy the lame draft system that sports teams have. Still, in good news, Edmonton got someplayers who might possibly turn out to be good players while Pronger now gets to be part of possibly the best defensive tandem in the league.

"Would you still like him as much if he asked for a trade and went to say, New Jersey?" I like Jagr as a player. I felt, that as a player, he deserved the MVP. I could care one wit about him as a person 'cause like you said I don't know him as a person which is why if he were to demand a trade tomorrow I wouldn't be referring to him as evil or scum. I'd be dissapointed that my team lost a good player, and that's it. If Jagr wanted to play for NJ, I'd be dissapointed; but I wouldn't act like he somehow owes me anything. Take that in comaprison to the various Edmontonian reactions in this thread about they wish all sort sof nasty stuff on Pronger, and call him all sorts of nasty names. I read an article on another site from an Edmonton fan, and he had the PERFECT reaction to the news. I wish that would rub off on all the immature people who wish death, torture, and maiming on Pronger. And, oh, I don't hate Edmonton. I like Edmonton just fine. I simply hate fans from any city - including NY - who think they own players and pretend to be 'loyal' to players when they are not. P.S. Ther eis no asbolutes here. Like anything, different people react different. If you aren't reacting in the way I described above, my 'issue' isn't with you. I've seen Ranger fans act like this before, and I bash them just the same because it's an immature, selfish thing.

Mmmm... illithids... mmm...

As for the topic, 2e and 3e have their strnegths, and wekanesses. I like them both, and 2e is easily more intuitive. However, overall, I have to side with 3e being the 'better' game system.

Well... hopefully, Cloutier will recover from last year's wash and play as the number oen goalie he is. He had a good record last year though his GAA and S% needs to be improved though his action was limited, of course.

lol @ NumbersU.

"I wonder if Volo would even bother posting if there weren't Edmonton fans' buttons to push on these boards." Meh. Edmonton is far the first, or last team to have a disgruntled played who forced a trade or release. the Rangers have been through it. And, I had to 'suffer' through taunts about the Rangers. I managed to survive it. I just dislike this idea that 'fans' think they actually own players, and somehow their feeling of entitlement that they and their team (or in this case, their city) should be a player's number one concern. You know, instead of someone's family. Pronger is far from the first employee that left a company because the family no longer wanted to live in a certain city. It shouldn't be treated like he committed some great sin. To answer the question directly, the existence of Edmonton fans is irrelevant. Besdies, I wodner how many would have made as much fun of the Rangers' collapse in the play-offs if there was a certain Ranger fan whose face could be rubbed in it? R00fles!

"I just don't understand why you'd want to watch grown men in neon-coloured tights, covered in baby-oil dance with each other on stage for an hour at a time? Why not watch the real thing, like MMA? Pride FC for example?" Because, those tend to be boring. Matches tend to last a minute, and there really are no characters. Professional wrestling is about the drama, characters, and just plain fun. Yes, it tends to be over the top; but that's the point.

Currently: Edge (who just became champ!!!) Overall: Hulkster "Pro Wrestling is a soap opera for men" And?

Aye. Stevie Y is a geat hockey player who did a lot. He can now join the other greats in The Great Hockey Beyond.

"insulting a city that had come to love him in the process." False. His family loves. Edmontonians only love what he can do for their precious hockey team. If they *truly* loved him; they would understand and respect the fact he's doing what is best for his family instead they moan about their poor city being 'dissed'. Let's put it this way - if he had come to Edmonton and sucked balls; Oiler fans would have been the first to bash him. So stop this nonsense about how much Edmontonians 'love' him. They never did. If this is what is cosnidered 'love' by sports fans they don't know what love is.

"Oh, and I hate Chris Pronger." Yeah. Damn him. He chose his family over his team. How immoral is that, huh?

"Hey dip****, Oiler fans only started hating him after he wanted to be traded. There was no loyalty on his part, so why should we show him any?" That's because Oiler fans are loyal to the Oilers (as they should be); not to him. All he did was ask for his release (with his contract it ended up being a trade). Pronger did NOTHING wrong. It's not like he threatened to not show up for next year. Heck, from the sounds of this, his decision that he didn't wnat to be Edmonton/an Oiler occured earlier in the season... but, he sucked it up, and played his heart out. Oilers, and Oiler fans obviously did not give him enough reasons to want to stay with the team or in the city. "It's not such a bad deal after all." Agreed. It's soild trade. Pronger is guarnateed gold, and the Oilers got a lot of potentials. As long as one of the players/draft picks work out for them; they did a decent job considering the circumstances. It's hard to get a real good trade when the other teams are aware that the player involved wants out. It's better this way instead of the Oilers forcing Pronger to play for them (which is their legal right). 'Cause eventually that would cause resentment on both sides, and would start effecting the team negatively.

Good. Pronger is likely to find a team/city that's good enough for one of the best defensemen in the league. Obviously, Edmonton wasn't good enough. It's obvious that Oiler fans never liked him, and had no loyalty to him so why should he have loyalty to them? Good stuff. GO PRONGER GO!!!
