  1. I do remember there being a game where they took ww1 and tried to extend it into the 1980's with it being put on the stock market, trench warfare with riot guns and helicopters...
  2. "Can only be summoned in Outland or Northrend." Really? Still? This so screamed of horrible forward planning two years ago and it's still in the same ****ty state? Amazing. in order to allow flying in the old world they have to basically rebuild the zones from the ground up (a lot of visual shortcuts were taken with tall things, trees don't have tops, nor do the undercity towers for example) However this is going to be the big change in Cataclysm is that they have rebuilt and redesigned the old world for more streamlined questing and other fun things like flying to happen. just a random yelling: %#($ YOU SAURFANG THE YOUNGER AND YOUR STUPID FIGHT IN ICECROWN!
  3. yeah, the convienent Amnesia is a twist ain't it? I personally despise the magic system and prefer materia.
  4. Didn't do jack. Around here "legal age" is more advisory, but if the kids are caught then they're dealt with... had two young ladies (15/16 ish) who were caught on campus totally off their rocker, drunk, with four beers in their backpacks. Yeah, they got themselves arrested.
  5. Well, I think that's one of the draws of the WWE. The contiguous storyline and characters lead to more attachment by the fans to the characters in the show. As to american gladiators, I don't know that many people would watch it now a days simply because they know that the real athletes would win over the amateurs. with the wrestlers you know you'll be getting a nice fight between the antagonists over whatever. I mean, nobody wants to see some poor accountant get DEMOLISHED by his opponent. It doesn't make for good TV.
  6. I have a cousin who works for the WWE (video editing and such), and according to family members and friends who have gotten tickets through her, the live show is actually quite entertaining. You have a beer or two, shout some insults at the performers, chuckle to yourself at the crowdmembers who take it too seriously, and watch the spectacle. I think I can understand the appeal in that way-- bottom line, those guys are showmen who know how to entertain a crowd. Granted, the people I've talked to both had good seats and got the tickets for free, so that probably colors their observations a bit. And this doesn't extend to the mysterious appeal of the televised product. Yeah. I've been to a couple of live wrestling matches. They were great fun. Some screaming, some yelling, some taunting, and lots of crazy drunks. The TV shows, however, are a different story. I think for the stuff in pro, like wwe, Southpark got it right. It's entertainment and drama, not a sports cast. To say otherwise would be lying.
  7. I now has a secondary monitor for fun... I need a new desk to play on
  8. *shrugs* I dislike religion, and if there is a god, he's probably to busy shaping a star to pay attention to what the little flecks on the tiny molecule of our earth have to say about who he is or isn't. The guy is trying to take care of a infinite area (ostensibly) and probably wouldn't care what something so insignificant as us would be yelling and pleading. It's like you caring about what the ants in dubai think about the space program.
  9. Batman Infamous Empire ACII L4D2 Uncharted II
  10. Depends on your definition of coercion I think. Communists just have the power to enforce their threats while Christians don't. It's an odd contrast to hear "Why can't we be friends!?" and "YOU'RE GONNA BURN IN HELL IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN THE ALMIGHTY DUDE IN THE SKY WHO MADE ZOMBIES!" from the same person
  11. YAY! My new monitor I bought is on it's way to me, should be here weds.
  12. GTA episodes, it's actually pretty good. as good as the main game.
  13. Nearly got into a physical altercation with my brother due to his disrespect for me... I threatened to punch him, he threatend to snap my neck and leave me in the back yard... of course, he couldn't actually pull off such a feat but *shrugs*
  14. dragon age is one of todays deals btw.
  15. I think it's the game, there should be a work around (use direct sound or something in the options) that'll cut down the number of channels the game is trying to use.
  16. well, there is a problem where it starts to use more sound channels than the computer can handle so you don't hear voice just backround
  17. I killed presents, they dropped mostly greens, one unique to be DE'ed and a pair of epix. <3 new graphics card and batman the animated series season 4
  18. Picked up F3 goty for pc, so playing that in the future, but went back to my game of Empire and found that the reason I was having so much trouble was that I was trying to fight off prussia, the ottomans, and Westphilia at the same time with less tech than they had (better tech) I had to offer access to the Prussians for peace, and then the ottomans I gave transylvania. Westphilia is a military joke so I've just been holding an army on their borders as I rebuild my economy. Biggest thing I need to do is tech up but I've only got two mediocre colleges to work with, Hopefully I can find more from a weaker power and just beat the tar out of the guy and take his colleges.
  19. Had the worst day in a while. Started off with me scraping the front of my car and destroying the light I just had installed last week. Then I worked christmas retail at gamestop for 6 hours, then came back home and nearly got hit, and then run off the road by a granny in a carrolla.. I just wanna hit something right now.
  20. How's the battle system? Is it as hands off as XII?
  21. Yeah, after he got returned to his earth, the last shot of him is him logging onto the DCU fan forums so to troll people about how he's the greatest in the world
  22. Well, I worked a shift today, have to go back tommarow. I had two customers I wanted to beat... One decided to pick her kids up a 360, two games, and a second controller, ok, not a big deal... but the kids want me to find the case without putting in any effort (it's in a dump bin with about 400 other game cases). THEN they decide as the credit is being authroized they want to trade in some wii games to add to chop the price down a bit, so I have to do ANOTHER transaction, but I have to do yet another simply because I can't do a return and a trade in at the same time... overall these two kids and their mother took about 30 minutes of my register with the line going to the back of the store and vasslated between four positions. Then the other had purchased 6 games 10 days ago. There is a grace period for the christmas gifts of used that means that the 7 day satisfaction guarantee starts on december 26. But this lady's kid had played the games, and didn't like three of em so they brought them into return them. The games had been purchased on a buy two, get one free sale, and thus I had to do probably 15 minutes of work to get the stupid thing to go through AFTER fighting with another co-worker about when the 7 days worked (on reflection I should have said "can't do it now, it's for christmas gifts, and obviously this isn't a chirstmas gift, the 7 days is right after the purchase and the week after the 26th).
  23. Well, Final Crisis, legion of three worlds was awesome at least. Superman v superboy prime, Legionarres from every recent legion that people love, And the return of Connor Kent and Bart Allen as Titans. Also, I did love the bit where Prime ended up being a troll on the dc universe fanboards.
  24. nah, he was shot four times in the stomach by his girlfriend who was carrying his kid at the time under mind control So they ditched the Civil War stuff? not quite, he was shot while going up the court steps to be tried for his role in the civil war thing. Honestly, the stories that Brubaker writes are AWESOME (they actually showed his body right after he died, the super soldier serum basically disappeared from his system, which I'm guessing is what's bringing him back, it reactivates and brings him back to life, but I'm not an avid monthly reader of that, I do the TPB's) From what I gathered from Wikipedia, the whole thing was some elaborate plan by Red Skull and AIM. When Steve was shot, he was actually trapped in time and Red Skull pulls his body out of time but takes control of it. It sounds really terrible. Yeah, Skull needed a new body after winter soldier killed his old one.
  25. Yes Versus is an exclusive, but I'm not sure about american.
