  1. I don't know about other countries but here it's illegal to drive a manual car if you have a driving licence for an auto car. I like this. Is it illegal to drive Auto if you have a Manual license?
  2. With time, yes. but there is a learning period involved so, if it's an emergency, you're screwed. Oh and REAL drivers use the stick baby!
  3. First, once you can drive manual you can drive anything. Second, it's about coordination and once you get it it's like riding a bike. Third, once you have the car moving it's easy and fun. Fourth, you have more control over the vehicle, especially in winter and, to a certain point, you can even control how much fuel you spend and how much wear and tear your car receives(brakes and transmission specifically). Fifth, the hard part is getting your feet coordinated to actually get the car to move from first gear. Basically, you gently press down on the accelerator while gently letting go of the clutch. If your hand-brake isn't on and your coordination between your feet is right, the car will eventually start moving on it's own. Then it's just a matter of doing the same thing to change gears but it's MUCH easier when the car is moving. Just remember not to go straight from first to fifth gear in one shot. Go from 1 to 5(or 6 if you're lucky...) in order and change gear when you feel the engine is revving up to fast(if you have a rpm gauge it's easier to know at first when to change gears but eventually you never look at the thing. You just FEEL it). Good luck.
  4. Maybe the dosage was off. It happens. It's very sad. I was just beginning to like this guy. As an actor.
  5. I'd use my cell to call for a ride out of this crap hole.
  6. I completely agree. The series stopped being awesome when Cain died. Not that I'm a Cain fanboy but after Pegasus part 2 the series started to drift from its original concept. There were a few very good episode arcs, such as the New Caprica series but that's about it actually. Season 3 was a disaster compared to season 1, except for the last 2-3 episodes which were quite amazing. And Razor didn't help although this 2 hours stand alone may have introduced our final Cylon.
  7. You guys are making me hungry. Stop it. I'm dieting.
  8. Somehow I found this to be relevant in this thread. It is a bit extremist, fondamentalist, no? I mean it is blatant exageration from a misinformed person, no?
  9. Why "otherwise"? It is wether these are fakes or not. Indeed.
  10. I really hope most of those are fakes otherwise this world is in deep doo doo.
  11. I slept through most of Sunshine so... ...5/10.
  12. Before I gave up on them again, Habs were losing 4-0 against NY Rangers. It was like watching elderly folks going out to the rink on a sunday afternoon after Church. What a pathetic team.
  13. Shoot 'em Up Really fun film, full of gratuitous violence and great performances. Cheesy perhaps, but it was clearly intentional and it's pretty much non stop action from the first minute to the last second. As a great plus, it also has Monica Belluci as a prostitute. Oh and the soundtrack is awesome. It's not everyone's cup O tea but I give it a nice shiny 9/10.
  14. Wow. Lots of obvious ones. Thanks fellow forumites! I'm starting research to write an epic story about a monster hunter that roams the world hunting down famous creatures. This is because I just watched Van Helsing again and I figured it would've been a much better story if the action wasn't limited to one location(dracula's castle and the nearby village). I was also frustrated about Beowulf because I was expecting that movie to show more than just one of his "famous" hunts.
  15. Aside from Beowulf and Van Helsing, are there any other famous, legendary hunters of monsters in litterature or otherwise? I'm doing some personal research on the subject but I keep finding references to what is already commonly known(such as the previously mentioned hunters). Any help please?
  16. And so no one will scold you for keeping some $$$ out of his pockets. It's called "Money".
  17. Let me put it this way: If you've never illegally downloaded a movie, it is worth doing so with ANY Uwe Boll "film". DS is surely no different. Some reviews are out already so you can get an idea of how bad it is. Apparently Ray Liotta's performance as the evil sorcerer is major suckage.

  19. This is *gulp* the first time I read about Dragon Age and I really like most of what is presented in this article. Bioware seems to want to break the conventions and that, in my book, is a very good thing right now.
  20. Since when is 40 - 45 minutes "a little over 20 mins"? Commercial emissions...
  21. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
