Hahaha!

I thought they did a pretty decent job of making them appear innocent and vulnerable, especially in the 3 minute trailer.

At the same time, from what I understand it's only the little sisters that are capable of it. Whether or not they were engineered that way (OMG those monsters!) or if something else caused it is probably something we'll only figure out after playing said game.

You'll find wisdom and experience are correlated

That was actually the idea I was trying to convey. Though looking back on what I said, I didn't do a good job of it. I did comment that I didn't get the vibe that they were supposed to be creepy though.

Not much happening tonight hockey wise. I had 3 players active, Jose gets a W against Vancouver, and some decent stats to boot. And at the same time, despite losing 3-2, Daniel Sedin gets a goal and is +2 on the night.

I loved the Special Olympics and the LOTR one. Butters screaming "my precious" hahaha awesome. I also laughed my ass off during the recent WoW one.

Soooooooooo Good! :D Thanks to you alanschu! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I loved watching it as a "filler" on the old Western Canadian movie channel Superchannel. It's been around for a long time, and I loved it as a kid. The National Film Board of Canada released it on the Internet (along with 49 others) for free viewing. The other one I enjoyed when I was really young was the Log Rider, though that one doesn't seem to be one of the 50. I'll see if I can dig it up though

The Splinter Cell games aren't really that much better. They made improvements along the way with the second and third ones, such as if the guards detect you they will put on body armor and whatnot. I think some areas result in additional guard patrols and things like that.

Absolutely. Prior to the Ring, little girls were hardly ever the focal point of horror movies. Besides, I don't really consider them to be particularly creepy. They are certainly vulnerable, but when the little sisters refer to a big daddy as Mr. Bubbles, I'm not really getting the vibe that they are supposed to be creepy.

There was an awesome Canadian National Film Board short to that song way back in the day. Check it out here

Define "eclipsed." Because both Doom and Half-Life came out prior to System Shock and System Shock 2, respectively. Doom was really close to System Shock though.

Actually you just posted before I did, so it looks like I'm responding to you instead of Diamond. Though I don't see any Venn Diagrams anywhere. I see some common syntax for implication in boolean logic though.

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.
