If you recognize the pointlessness of making a comment like this one (as indicated in your two most recent posts), then why do you make it? If you found them interesting, what makes you think someone else wouldn't? I don't think large sects of society are any different. And not just the intellects. The general population buys into the appeal of authority quite well, and if authority ends up changing their stance, the general population tends to follow suit.

But he's been a member since 2005, so that was an easy verification

I'll make the same suggestion I make to most people with operating systems. Don't be the first one on board.

That 3 minute trailer was intense!

I figured they were rhetorical. But the smartass in me couldn't resist

That's exactly what I was hoping for when I picked up Rolston. And to make things better, the yahoo pool considers him a LW/C/RW, so I can play him at any forward position.

If you assume that the impression of KOTOR is the same. To be honest, it looks like you just compared two unrelated things. I'm not sure how KOTOR is affected by the level of risk associated with making movies.

Someone made a skullgun mod? hahaha

Not 100% what you're trying to say here, but I have an idea You won't be running DX9 and DX10 "at the same time." The way DirectX currently is, is that it has full hardware support for previous version. Full backwards compatibility. Which means that if you get DirectX 9, even though it "overwrites" the older version, you'll still have full functionality with DirectX 8, 7, 5, 3.3, etc. Doing this is nice, as it provides full hardware support, so if you play a game that uses DirectX 8, you'll still see full hardware support. With DirectX 10, they have decided to start with a clean slate with no backwards compatibility. This means that if you play a DirectX 9 game, it's going to have to do software emulation, which is typically slower (though how much depends entirely on the implementation). At first this seems to suck, because you may get significantly worse performance. However, it also reduces a lot of code bloat, which can make the DirectX 10 applications run faster than otherwise (if DirectX 9 had no backwards compatibility, it's entirely possible that DirectX 9 games would run faster that it currently is). If the performance of legacy DirectX is still good (which will depend largely on the CPUs, and probably the graphics card, since it'll be emulated), in the end this could very well be a good decision.

I really enjoyed the WTC movie. I was totally expecting crap from it.

Me too! I can't imagine what it is. To be quite frank, I hope Cam Ward falls on his face Jim Carrey style.

Enrollment plummetted at my school after the dot com bubble burst. The last remnants of it graduated over the past two years, and now there's concerns with enrollment.

The last level IMO is pretty obviously the last level. So if you're not sure, you probably aren't there yet.

It's what I do. Thank the hammer!

Why can't I see my shoes? It's a common effect from older games, and still exists today. Typically the person isn't bothered to be rendered, since they don't need to be. Feet is purely aesthetic. Who am I? You're a member of Navy/Army/Psi Corps that was stationed on the Rickenbaker. When you woke up, you found that your body had been augmented cybernetically. What's my motivation? To stay alive? You woke up for your 4th tour of duty, in a situation where you were about to be in an area that was depressurized. As far as you can tell, there is only one other person alive, and she's trying to help you get to her. Things have gone horribly wrong, and the best way to survive is to work together.

Yup. Pool wise I did okay. I didn't gain a ton of points because I was already high in the offensive ones, but I was able to create some distance. Still a long season though. Bouwmeester got some as well.

Go D. Sedin!!! GWG!

Lawful seems related to consistency.

I never could get out of the library

Agreed about the dead horse Kor. And for the record Hades, I'm not a Christian. So take your stupid, self-righteous, bigotted attitude and shove it up your ass. As for my apparent callousness (I smell a rant coming on), I take pride in the international aid and peacekeeping missions that my country does. Because I strongly believe that it has the capability to help ease the suffering of many people. I feel so strongly about it that when someone such as you makes suggestions such as nuking the middle east as a viable solution to the problems there, as well as the staunch isolationist ideals you have, it really pisses me off. The United States is probably the most capable country of helping people, and you'd rather tuck into your turtle shell and do NOTHING. When people point out your callousness at times, you talk about how the only person you are worried about is yourself. Nothing like looking out for number one. And you get to make sweeping generalizations about a sect of society you don't like. Nothing like categorizing all Christians to being monsters for finding something funny. You're a bigot, and a hypocrite. If you truly gave a crap about the suffering of other people, you'd stop posting stupid nonsense so that no one would have to suffer through your inane rambling. A few of your posts seemed decent enough not too long ago, so I took you off of ignore. Seems as though that was a mistake. Have a nice life Hades.

If Iowans are stubborn asses with no sense of humour, then I guess you can categorize yourself as that. I was referring to specifically the Lowtax fight. You know, the one where Lowtax runs around, celebrates like a madman when he scores a hit, acts like he's down for the count and then springs back up like it's nothing at the 9 count. So given that Lowtax's fight involved neither bleeding, nor puking, nor needing medical attention, and included an entertaining post-fight interview, I'll stand by my words that Lowtax's fight was hilarious.

Yeah, that's what I think. I have high expectations for MAF, but not yet.

What were you expecting?

Oilers sign Ethan Moreau to a 4 year contract extension! He'll be with us until 2010-11

I'm thinking of picking up Condemned.
