I recently began the long trek through the entire X-Files series. So far the first 3 episodes of season 1 are just fantastic(not including the pilot).

Feng, your alternator is dead. A rebuilt should cost from 100$ to 400$, depends on the model of your car. Plus about 50$ for labor. I don't know if you can get a boost from another car but maybe it could get you that extra push you need to make it to a garage. Don't go to the same mechanic that told you your "alternator looks ok" as those symptoms are classic alternator troubles, which makes him(or her) an @$$. As for my bad days, well pretty much everyday is 8 hours of crap as I REALLY despise my job. I work in a factory, part of a chain and as anyone who has experienced such things knows, it is extreme routine. When I took this job I was told that I would be eventually doing 3D modeling of furniture and some creative design was promised to me. I've been here 2 years and although I've been trained on Solidworks by the company, the 3D modeling is now somebody else's job(yes, they wasted about 5000$ on my training). And it's not because I'm incompetent(I am not) but rather bad organization within the company during these troubled times in the manufacturing industries. So, what I'm trying to do now is find another job better suited for my talents, with better pay(I can't support a family with 12$CAN/hour). But I am finding out that I also really need a better education in order to get a better job. But I can't get a better education without a better salary. I really feel screwed by life when I think about these things. Thankfully I have my lovely wife who can simply make me forget about all this crap with just a smile. I love you sweety!

This all sounds great and all but what about our bliss? You would prevent us from experiencing our own blissful lives just so you can have yours? Selfish jerk! I am, of course, joking.

Although I have been unable to complete the final battle of Icewind Dale 2, I consider it finished(but haven't uninstalled it yet...). So now I play both Neverwinter Nights(Diamond) and Baldur's Gate 2.

I've only seen screenshots of Oblivion. And reviews. I need help.

I'm at the final battle in Icewind Dale 2. I wish I could rest between the 2 final encounters.

It may still be a decent Sci-Fi action flick but as a Transformers movie, for anyone who knows a bit about this universe, it will suck.

How hard can it be to make an electrical engine that is recharged(a battery, not the engine itself, of course) as wheels turn, acting as mini-turbines? EDIT: Electricity is mass-produced by sending pressured water into turbines. The energy produced by the rotating turbines is then harnessed and converted to electricity. I don't know the details but a turbine is a big wheel that turns and on a car there are four wheels that turn. Couldn't this energy be converted to electricity and stored in the car's battery? I'm just saying, in my complete ignoramousness, how hard can it be to research and develop this?

Anyone wanna try Astro's Gas?

Not really sure why they're all having dinner together ... after all, they all want to kill each other ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Untrue. A Jedi does not want to kill others. Only a Sith desires the spread of death. Sometimes.

Yes, please LadyC post a link! Nevermind, I found it here by doing a search on the file's name from the image properties from Lady's post.

There are a couple of guys here in Montreal(and I'm sure in other places as well) that converted their car's engine to run on potato oil. When they need to fuel up they drive around fast food restaurants and pick up the discarded fryer oil and fill the tank with it. It's free and it works(but it smells horrible). Last week I heard on the news that some farmer powers his house using cow manure(but it smells horrible). I also think electricity is the way to go. But we will still be dependent on electricity producing countries, those countries that have a lot of water(like the one I live in) and we will then be back at square one, with wars for water and crap. Doomed we are.

I thought they were all dead. The Jeep and the bike both crash in the beginning. Their spirits all get cought in this "special Hell" and there ya go. ? I liked the movie but I was confused as well.

Fresca is better than Sprite or 7up. You can actually taste the lemony lime.

It's a remake of a Danish film "Nattevagten" (same name), which is infinitely better.. they haven't captured the creppy feeling at all, they turn it into a kind of action-thriller which it wasn't supposed to be at all.. true hollywood for you! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well perhaps it was made in an attempt for a breakthrough in Hollywood but since it is in Russian I doubt it was made by Hollywood. I thought the idea of vampires being visible only through the reflexion of a mirror was cool. And some effects like the veins in people's faces were very well done. But I ended up sleeping through most of it.

V for Vendetta. I saw Silent Hill recently and I was pleasantly surprized. Gory and creepy with beautiful picture. Currently halfway through Nightwatch and I am dissapointed.

KotOR2 should be remade... ...I mean finished. <_<

Betrayal at Krondor, Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos, X-Com, Eye of the Beholder(and all the other D&D Gold boxes) and a sequel to Clive Barker's Undying. Please?

The first Rambo wasn't even called "Rambo". It was "First Blood(as in "who draws it")". "Rambo 2" was called "Rambo: First Blood Part 2" so technically, by saying you "didn't even know there was a Rambo 2", it demonstrates that you did know there was a "Rambo 2", because "Rambo 1" was referred to as "Rambo 1" only after "Rambo 2" was released and the term "Rambo movies" adopted by the masses of undying Sylvester Stalone fans(his mom). "Technically". :D

I'm currently trying my best to beat the Six Fallen Followers in Icewind Dale 2. Gosh darnit thats a hard fight!

Kill it. I tried and tried many times to enjoy this show but to me, it's just airtime that could be better spent on Battlestar Galactica. Now THAT is a good show!

I'm still on Icewind Dale 2. I have retrieved the Holy Avenger sword but The Six are kicking my lvl15 butt from here to the Planes. For my next try against them I will summon EVERYTHING I can and cast all the buffs I can BEFORE the battle starts. We'll see how that works out.

You don't have to. It is called "RV".
