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

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?

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.

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

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.

Nice shootout Germany and Argentina!

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?

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!

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.

I wouldn't worry about the bolt action upgrade. I prefer the magazine personally. The Gun already seems precisely accurate anyways, I don't want to reload after every shot. I upgrade the M4 because it's a sweet ass gun to have a ton of fun with.

That's what the rumour mill has. Eklund, in all of his "glory," figures Pronger will be dealt at Midnight as Free Agency starts, according to a "dependable source." I wouldn't be too surprised. At least with the way things are now, I'm actually excited about the return on a player like Pronger. I'd still love for him to be an Oiler though I think the deal that interested me the most (among the rumours) is the Florida one for Jay Boumeester and Horton. Some Anahiem fans had some interesting proposals that included players like Joffrey Lupul and Giguere. Given that we still need some more scoring IMO, as well as a goalie (sounds like Roli is on the outs...but who knows with the media and their "sources"), I'm not terribly adverse to the idea. I wasn't really sold on the Toronto deal, even with Steen. But I'm not too familiar with Toronto, outside of their fans in my area that seem insistent that they can get any player they want for the scraps on their team. At least I won't have to listen to any more "We'll just sign Redden" comments from them (or fans of any other team). I have also heard some people (I think mostly just fans though, rather than the media) talking about a possible trade with the Rangers. Though it was looking more at their youth, focusing on players like Marc Staal and Montoya.

I heard a great quote from Bob Stauffer on Total Sports today with respect to a fan commenting that Roenick would be perfect for Toronto: "He's not very good. He's over the hill. He'll want a large salary. He's prone to injury." :D

I saw the crappy movie!

My Ventrue was my most satisfying game experience. Domination and mad firearm skills...I was a super badass. Picked the solo ending which is the best ending IMO as well. My Toreador and Malkavian playthrough were equal. I picked the Anarchs with my Toreador, and the Kuei-Jin with my Malkavian.

Okey Doke. I wonder if this one is going to carry on multiple turns. The fighting seems less intense at this point than it did last round.

It had a cool soundtrack.

Redden resigns with Ottawa for 2 years at $6.5 million each.

I"d need to dig up my discs. I think I lent them to my roommate's brother, which likely means they're gone forever.

Calling people "lost souls" was said in jest, and not an actual insult. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You say stuff like it all the time though, so I figured you weren't talking "in jest."

The thing is though, do all 1000 of those people not buy the game if it doesn't come out for Linux?

I think the responsibility lies more in the linux community. They need to convince game developers that it's easy (and profitable) to make games for linux. I also think they just flat out need to keep trying to expand their user base. With DirectX out there though, it's a tough sell.
