Well, Fallout and PS:T also have the disadvantage of not being particularly popular. I wouldn't be surprised to see Deus Ex in the top 10 though. Given that it's the Reader's Picks though, I'm not really all that surprised.

Well, I'd recommend that people that haven't played Half-Life 2, should probably stay away from a comic that takes you through all the places of Half-Life 2.

It's definitely awesomness-driven. I'm holding out for Splinter Cell: Double Agent (a series I also think is awesomeness-driven).....so maybe a quick playthrough of Deus Ex in the mean time?

Hahaha, I wasn't expecting that when I scrolled the pictue

Hong Kong is just awesome. I remember thinking Versalife was pretty much the endgame my first playthrough. I was pleasantly surprised! As for Double Agent, 3 different stores have it coming in next week for PC, so that seems somewhat reliable.

Though IMO you shouldn't need any. I have played through the game multiple times with no mods, and enjoyed every minute of it.

Vancouver has the Swedish line (Naslund, Sedin brothers)

That Albert Pujols (sp?) is a pretty good player. I saw a game of his on the tele when I was down in the DR.

Perhaps our lack of activity is why we have a kinder, gentler machine gun hand.

Well it seems as though somebody waived Joe Sakic. I plan on sticking with Briere and Gomez, but should I drop Kopitar for Sakic? 99.9% of me is thinking yes, but there's that bit of me that is worried that Kopitar might do something miraculous. Bah, who am I kidding, Joe Sakic should still do better than Anze.

Awesome. I was going to ask if anyone picked this up. I just noticed on TV that it's out for the 360. I assume it's out for the PC as well?

This certainly helps with the culture of fear.....

Hahaha.

At least he's not out running around and potentially hurting himself!

Oh believe me, I know To be honest I noticed negligible difference in my power bill when I did turn off my computer.

Well, let's look at it this way. Moments after this thread was started, there's some chap named Sand that is suddenly posting in the threads that Hades was in. Oddly enough, despite the fact that your account was created on the 6th, it's only just after Hades posts this thread that you suddenly become a very active participant in the forum, and the threads that he was actively posting in just today. Furthermore, you're active in a thread about a forum member that, for all intents and purposes, you wouldn't even know.

My first instincts also have Sand being Hades.

And here I was thinking his name was actually Harvey.

If it's as restrictive as some are hyping it up to be, I bet many people don't stay on board, and will probably end up using a Unix system in Mac OS X.

Well, I imagine that some will argue that the insurgents are killing innocents because of the US forces presence. Though I don't know if I agree with that. If news came out that the insurgents were doing some hardcore slaughter of the innocents, and committing mass genocide in response to the presence of the US troops, I doubt I'd attribute those deaths to the US forces.

I was under the impression that he was returning under a new moniker.

Sorry, I was referring to the reports from the Iraqi government directly. If not the reports themselves, then some sort of commentary on them. EDIT: I just went to www.iraqbodycount.com for the first time, and it doesn't even seem like it's a poor choice of word to use maximum. There's a box with "Civilians reported killed by military intervention in Iraq" with the min/max. I suppose someone could read that wrong, but I don't know if that's the fault of IBC. And any ambiguity goes away when you view the database. The word you should be mad over is the term "reported." Because by reported he is meaning reported in the news.

I'm not sure where you got the idea with Iraq Body Count being deceitful with their use of the word "maximum," as they're quoted in this article: EDIT: Do you know where I can find these reports?

I was under the impression that the numbers the Iraqi government came up with were referring to civilian deaths directly attributed to live combat, not some of the "if the war blows up a hospital, and a guy hurt doing something completely uninvolved in the war ends up dying because the hospital is destroyed, so add one two the war casualty" numbers, nor deaths that are completely unrelated to the conflict. Unless you're referring to something else when you talk about their "results for normal deaths."

Well, they put KB (which is kilobyte, not kilobit) in parenthesis right beside it. How slow is 128kbps now-a-days? I was able to survive on old phone lines that didn't get me more than 26.4 kbps, until the bulk of the internet decided to use images more frequently.
