The way things are going, I'm hoping the Oilers can hold on to him!

SUPERMAN RETURNS!
I find it funny that you mock the special effects scene, and then state that your favourite part of the movie was the biggest special effect scene.

Over 3 million for Hal Gill. 7.5 million for Chara. 5 million for Kubina. 6.5 million for both Redden and Jovonowski. Seems like a good time to be a defensemen in the NHL!

9/11, Loose Change
Heh, thanks for that.

Elder scrolls IV
Yeah. It seems kind of odd to take some screenshots of a large, open, and bright area to point out how HDR doesn't make much of a difference.

Hitman: Blood Money
Widescreen movies makes sense though.

What game got you hooked?
I disagree.

Combat Mission games
Hahahahaha. What are the odds?

Hitman: Blood Money
The "widescreen" of a widescreen monitor is still woefully inadequate compared to the eye analogy you are making. Nevermind the fact that somehow the "eye" is able to be completely in focus wherever you look.

Bad game names
Without reading it, I imagine Divine Divinity is in there! EDIT: Woo, I was right!

Hitman: Blood Money
Hahaha, I knew right away what your problem was hahaha. Too bad you fixed it on your own, or I would have had some fun with that

Speaking of which, have you had a chance to play around with Civ 4?

click!
I actually enjoyed the movie. It was actually a pretty sad movie for a good chunk of it.

People overrate age. I remember tons of people telling me that trading for Chris Pronger was dumb because he was 30 years old and "on the decline." It seems people really overrate prospects. And this seems to be fans of every time. I got sick of all the people saying that Rob Schremp should be dressed because he'd be good for at least a PPG per game. Yes it's great when a young player breaks out. Often because they still have a cheap price tag because of RFA status and whatnot. A good team is still going to need good young players, because of the salary cap (Eric Staal was instrumental in Carolina's run). But I think trading them for players signed long term is more advantageous than before, because the UFA age is dropping. I know a lot of people are flat out against a trade that involves Jay Boumeester for Chris Pronger, because Jay Boumeester is so much younger and is only getting better. The thing is though, is that Jay Bouwmeester is an unrestricted free agent in 3 years, whereas Chris Pronger is signed for another 4 years. And I don't think that Chris Pronger is going to be a much worse player in 4 years, barring maybe injuries.

NWN2 Multiplatform Support
Well, the Wiki says it uses DirectX. EDIT: The Main Site mentions that the card must be DirectX 9.0c compliant, with at least shader model 2.0

Clerks II
It's not ignorance. It's just a convention. The United States of America has been referred to as America for a long time, probably because it includes the name right in the country. When people refer to the whole land mass of North and South America, they usually refer to it as The Americas.

I remember playing one where you would bounce back and forth between Larry and Passionate Patty. I also played the first one.

You're surprised that arguably the best defensemen in the NHL for the past 5 years is getting paid 7.6 million?

Yeesh...which one was #7?

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I just saw Superman Returns and Click. I thought Click was a surprisingly good movie. It actually felt bad for the Adam Sandler character at times....never thought I'd say that!

Hitman: Blood Money
I have yet to miss with the non-bolt action, fully upgraded sniper rifle. In the situation though where I might need to shoot two people quickly (like in the Vegas Hotel), I prefer the Magazine. Plus you just flat out get way more ammo, so you can have a lot more fun with it if you prefer.
