Errr, there will be no winning against Edmonton. Of course I wholeheartedly support your crusade against Vancouver. Tell you what, we'll agree to beat you in OT so you still get something out of it :D

Then Deus Ex is definitely an RPG

Well, Roenick should know that since he's not playing well this year, ol' Mike Modano and his PPG clip have recently surpassed him. 1139 points and 1133 points. Kris Draper brings a different element to the table than both Shanahan and Kariya. Doan is a questionable pick, particularly based on this year's play. Some Gretzky influence probably wouldn't hurt. Again, I don't think seniority should have much to do with it. It's all about making the best team (which often isn't just taking the best players). As for Bertuzzi, people are hanging on to the past too much. Just let it go already. I'm not a Vancouver fan, nor am I a Bertuzzi fan, but jeez move on. The incident happened almost two years ago now, and the only reason why it became an issue is because Moore got hurt. If Moore hadn't been hurt, no one would even remember it happened. He's a good player and he's going to help the team. That's the only thing that matters. I hope he does really well at Turino as well. And if Shanahan rejects the spot he may be given due to injury because of some sort of bitterness, then good on Gretzky for not picking him. I wouldn't want someone like that on my team anyways (which I doubt anyways, since I'm a huge Shanahan fan).

If I am playing a reasonably intelligent character, lets say Intelligence 14 with a WIsdom 12 or higher, and is given all the clues in character I don't see why my reasonably intelligent character cannot figure these things out on his or her own. Now if I had a character with an 8 Intelligence and a 6 Wisdom, then now. The character would be a little of the dull side to figure them out. It is a role playing game after all and I don't see it as being too much to ask for. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello ginormous branching factor.

The one thing about the international rosters, is that I think "previous accomplishments" shouldn't mean as much. If you do nothing but take the people that have been there before, eventually you'll be left with a situation where you have nothing but young guys. Players like Nash, Lecavalier, Thornton, Richards, etc. are all going to be mainstays on this team for quite some time. The only surprise I have is that Nash made it despite his games played this season. Based on talent though, I have no problems putting him on the team. He played very well in his last international competition. Furthermore, we already have Bertuzzi that can play the power forward as well. As for Roenick, well maybe if he showed he still knew how to play by contributing a bit more this season, then there'd be less bickering. I'm not sure what he means by "I know how to win." What has he ever won?

Not working? It's working for me!

I have no real beef with the roster. The biggest "surprise" to me was Rick Nash, who IMO made the team because of his previous play in the WC. He's a good player though.

Nope, there was a Mechwarrior 1, released by Activision. One of my favourite games growing up. That's a Jenner vs Shadow Hawk believe it or not.

I agree Shadow. Hindsight bias is a pretty powerful one.

Well, you can always keep waiting for something that's even better coming out shortly. But if you do that you'll never buy anything.

I wasn't taking any damage when driving around and getting shot though :\

Hey, Ryu's an honorable fighter. It's hard to balance the cheapness of the juggler. Did you see Scorpion spamming those harpoons. Jeez what a cheap fighter! Fortunately, Ryu's got friends!

I totally agree. I loved the 6th Sense. But The Village was bizarro because he tried to have twists, and fake twists, to make you think that that was the twist, because we all know that there's going to be a twist. I think in his next movie, his "twist" should be that there is no twist.

Aaaaaahhh, put it away!!! You know Kor, as silly as it sounds, as long as we can keep scoring more than the other team, I don't care about our goalie situation

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I got a kick out of the "That starship doesn't fly with me" quote when Bastila was trying to redirect your advances.

Wasn't that your ammunition reload? I'll have to (happily) play that again. I don't remember, been a long time EDIT: Hmm, I see the health bar. It doesn't go down though when I get shot though.... The big red bar does go down (obviously).

Scorpion is a cheap-ass juggler! I Ryu!

For any doubters, look at their record against the top teams of the NHL: Rangers: 0-1 Flyers: 1-0 Oilers: 1-1 Kings: 2-0-1 Flames: 1-0 Stars: 1-1 Not too bad. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But but but...it's because of all the momentum they gain against the weak teams Seriously I like Nashville. Fast fun hockey. And yeeeeeeees we are now in a tie with the Canucks for first place. "Unfortunately" Calgary was unable to win tonight, so they remain two points behind It wasn't a pretty game....more of a laugh out loud game. Lots of goals

First one. Definately worth

well considering that this was at a landing on normandy... I don't think there would be that many men... And it happens everywhere... Even in missions where you are cut off from reinfocements all of a sudden a new army dude arrives to fill out the squad... this especially bad on a mission where you have to hold out for 5 minutes against a nazi attack so that you can be relieved by your own forces. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If it was a landing on Normandy, than there probably wasn't enough men. I understand that it's fake. But I prefer it hands down over you being an even bigger supersoldier taking on the third reich on his own. I rationalize it via technological limitations. Honestly, how many friendly soldiers exist at any given time? You can't have entire battalions, or you'd chug the game down. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that even with the "you're cut off from reinforcement missions" there still isn't anywhere near enough men represented in the game as their should be if it was trying to mimic real life.

Seriously, give it a try. It's probably one of the most exhilirating things you can do if the map is heavily populated with tons of infantry. Running around healing, making that bold dash in front of the tank to get to the guy across the street, zapping people with the defibrilators....yeesh. It can seriously be a huge adrenaline rush if you stay in the thick of the conflict.

I'm going to be a jerk and take away from all Nashville has done, and claim that a big part of their record is the fact that they get 24 games against Columbus, Chicago, and St. Louis. Sorry, I'm just a jerk like that

Just because I'm an annoying nitpicker, the original Athlon processor was the K7, and it was the one that reached the 1 GHz plateau. My 1 GHz Thunderbird core (on die L2 cache) was an absolute beast when I got it. I remember playing Counterstrike, and the only team I ever was was the CT, because I loaded into the game way faster than anyone else. It was cool :cool:

That's the point of the game though. They wanted you to feel like you're part of a bigger picture, not the only person fighting the fight. I prefer it immensely to all the solo action. CoD also had people being invincible (like Cpt. Foley), but it's a minor oversight as I much prefer playing as a part of a squad. The worst missions for me in that game were the SAS missions where you did so much alone. It didn't seem to have the tension or the atmosphere. The Soviet missions, especially in the various city missions, had tons of this and were a great way to finish off the game IMO. I'm looking forward to CoD2
