  1. I hope I am not the only person that isn't surprised that The Titanic was not a historical depiction of the actual event.
  2. One could also be horribly dissapointed - much better to feel indifferent and then pleasently suprised if things turn out for the better, imo. I prefer to be optimistic that games come out that I will find fun. Sometimes they aren't, and that is when I am indifferent. It happens.
  3. For some arcade action co-op fun I love Jedi Power Battles. Though it has some camera issues which makes the game frustrating for other people (but not me, because I <3 any opportunity to run around with a lightsaber doing cool combos)
  4. I agree with Darque that Resident Evil is the pinnacle of voice acting.
  5. I am guessing that the two are fairly correlated though. Those with more age have accumulated more experience, simply because they have been around longer to do so. Having said that, I think fans make too big of a deal over who has the 'C' on the sweater. Leaders lead regardless.
  6. OMG DARK KNIGHT OMG DARK KNIGHT!!!
  7. "Ahhhh....much bet....WTF mate!? Who took my stuff? I bet it was a bleeding pirate!!!" *scurries to find secret ninja gear* Time to finally settle this once and for all....ninja > pirate. And I might just decapitate a few zombies in the process!
  8. Realizes he forgot to go to the bathroom and scurries back to his apartment.
  9. *locks and loads* "Come get some!!!"
  10. Zombie infestation!? I'm gonna need more ammo.
  11. /me consider's luring this guy to Gorth's ZCP......then I can do both!
  12. Allan is unsure of whether or not he should prepare to lay the beatdown on zombies, or his friend's ridiculously stupid husband. I mean, on the one hand there is saving the world....but on the other hand, this guy really needs a smack upside the head! DIlemmas!
  13. I really enjoyed MGS1, but never got into MGS2 and hence have not played more of the series.
  14. I quickly toss on some clothes, and take my trusty sidearm and belt and put it on. No replacement for a good pistol at your side.
  15. Sensing that strange things are happening at the Circle K, I awaken from my slumber. Hair is standing on end.
  16. Capitalist pigdog. You'll buy my **** and you'll like it, jerkface. Whoa...sass! When did you become more awesome!?
  17. Detroit is an amazingly well run team. Every year they're supposed to not do as good because of key players leaving or whatever, but they just keep on giving 'er. Some excellent drafting certainly didn't hurt either.
  18. I'd love to have Brodeur on my team!!!
  19. I understand Jagr's desires and it makes sense. I also understand concerns the teams are going to have. If he has a rough season for whatever reason and ends up retiring after only one, then that is tough luck for the team. Jagr as a player is unfairly criticized for his play. "Lazy" players don't become the top point getters in the league, they become Jason Bonsignore. Jagr might not be the best defensive player in the game, but the guy still outscores the competition on a regular basis, and that's how you win hockey games. As for Bettman, some people wondered if Lowe's response was also calling the league out to intervene. Other conspiracy theories include the league letting it go on because it creates news for the league, and any news is good news.
  20. That is the difference between 8 million and 24 million dollars. In the Oilers situation especially, it is easier to sign him for a one year deal for a large chunk of change because then he's no longer a salary cap hit. It's much less risky. Exactly why players tend to prefer long term contracts because it's guaranteed money...that is less risky for them. Fortunately Jagr himself acknowledged that the way the CBA is right now, players over 35 are seen as a risk due to the possibility of retirement. And clearly no team could afford him for the length of term he wanted. It was obviously seen as too much of a risk, lest he'd still be playing in the NHL by some team. Any team really. The team would move capspace to fit him in if they felt he was worth it.
  21. 3 years is a long time. And in that time, Jagr has gone 123 points, 96 points, 71 points. And while there are some old geezers still playing in the league, playing at a high quality over 38 IS less common. Jagr is an all-world talent and stands a good chance to contribute at a high level, but we'll never know now. 3 years is asking a lot, especially if the GM doesn't feel he'll be worth the contract. BS, 3 years is still a long time. Obviously long enough that NO TEAM in the NHL felt it was worth it. Are all 30 NHL GM's stupid?
