I agree with Darque that Resident Evil is the pinnacle of voice acting.

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.

OMG DARK KNIGHT OMG DARK KNIGHT!!!

"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!

Realizes he forgot to go to the bathroom and scurries back to his apartment.

*locks and loads* "Come get some!!!"

Zombie infestation!? I'm gonna need more ammo.

I am a hedonist!

Yes to all those things!!!

/me consider's luring this guy to Gorth's ZCP......then I can do both!

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!

Meh, if it's good I will play it.

I really enjoyed MGS1, but never got into MGS2 and hence have not played more of the series.

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.

Sensing that strange things are happening at the Circle K, I awaken from my slumber. Hair is standing on end.

Capitalist pigdog. You'll buy my **** and you'll like it, jerkface. Whoa...sass! When did you become more awesome!?

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.

I'd love to have Brodeur on my team!!!

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.

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.

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?

Actually his point was that winning a Stanley Cup doesn't really make you all that special. Listen to the interview, the guy kept asking him about Burke stuff, and Lowe answered (it wasn't an "article" it was an interview, with websites and newspapers quoting what they want). Proving your ignorance to Kevin Lowe's contributions as an Oiler. Lowe never played a single game in the minors, and only once was a team he played on unable to make the post-season. A lot like how NY crapped the bed without Sean Avery. He was a tough as nails, stay at home, defensive defenseman. Say that to the Vancouver franchise that Nonis tried to salvage. Not to mention some stellar contracts in Mathieu Schnieder and Todd Bertuzzi (since bought out) that left him susceptible to the whole offer sheet to Dustin Penner in the first place. Muffin. What dumb moves are those that are "obviously" turning off potential free agents. Hossa opted for an opportunity to win the cup rather than guaranteed money (kudos to him). Both Jagr and Hossa had nothing but good things to say about the Oilers and their negotiations. Three years at $8 million is a good chunk of change. The Oilers have important contracts coming up in the next two years, in particular their rookies (Sam Gagner in particular), as well as players like Shawn Horcoff, as well as both goalie contracts. Jagr's point totals have dwindled, so perhaps teams were hesitant to give him a long term contract because he is over 35 years old, so if he retires, the team is on the hook for the entire contract still from a cap hit perspective. It's something you see with every player that is 35 and over. It's uncommon for teams or players to have any loyalty. It's been that way for a long time now.

Hey when people keep poking you, you respond back too. The comments that Lowe made aren't reflective of not moving on. They're reflective of him wishing Burke finally would. But I agree with Lowe, Burke is a media junkie and does it for attention since he doesn't get much in the LA market. I think it might be reflective of the new ownership as well.

I always had to go prone because I am a wimp

Exactly. Burke scored a Hall of Fame defenseman for a pretty good price, and won himself a Stanley Cup. No sense making a big deal about Lowe attempting to do whatever it takes to make his team better. Some things workout in your favour, some things don't.
