The polls in the 1930s had Franklin Roosevelt losing handily in the Presidental Election.

I believe the plan was to start Jussi for this game all along. I keep pulling for Ty, but it's getting harder and harder

Jagr seems reinvigorated.

I played the demo with a 9800 Pro, 1 GB of memory, and an Athlon64 3500 Sure, I might not have been able to turn on ALL the bells and whistles, but I was still able to get pretty much the nicest graphics I had ever seen in an FPS (and probably game period) at very runnable frame rates.

Marines aren't soldiers? And as far as I know, the idea that the Doom movie didn't include Mars or Hell was a myth. The article about it in PC Gamer stated numerous times that it was on Mars and had demons from Hell.

I didn't mind Georges in his game against LA. I like how Avery runs away from him after chirping at him for a bit. He drew a couple of penalties and made some noise going hard to the net.

I bet Eric enjoyed scoring his big goal

Meh, if there's one thing I never do, it's give up on the copper and blue! I was very happy with their effort at the end of the first, and after a shaky start by Markkanen (he was struggling with rebounds, which he spoon fed to Perry, though the Selanne goal was a doozy), we picked it up. And then Stoll decides "Hey, I'm the PP shot man" and starts firing like crazy (which is a good thing). Some nice passes to set him up, and Torres with a wonderful deflection. And Pronger with two assists blasting his shot for gimme rebounds for Reasoner and Dvorak. Nice job rallying and bringing out the win. 3-0 wooohoooo!

Nope, but it IS set in a setting rather similar to another one of their games As for the count at the end of the manual, those include those that work at the publisher as well. I highly doubt that Bioware had 200+ people working on it, given that they have multiple projects on the go. At its peak JE had 70 from Bioware.

If I wasn't swamped with school, I'd happily join in

Oilers vs Anaheim in an hour! :D :D :D :D :D

Dragon Age is still a long ways away. It's certainly not vapourware. EDIT: In other news, where'd you read up about the size of Bioware? I didn't think they had that many people working there yet. I know they're still hiring, and even taking interns.

Dragon Age for me.

Goooooooo Edmonton! Hemsky's shot was phenomenol. He was like "I think I'll put my shot.....there!" BAM, goal. Horcoff with another one. I really hope he has a breakout season, and it seems Cross' play in the preseason stayed in the preseason. I felt he played a solid game (as in he just did his job). Smyth is hurt though

I'm betting on Knights of the Old Republic without the Star Wars franchise type experience. Really? Actually, you'd need 4 chairs to make it have a comparable level of emptiness, as you'd be increasing the area by a factor of 4 (100 vs 400). I'm looking forward to Oblivion and how it's Radiant AI works.

So how's Allison's hip? I'm still predicting Horcoff to go 93-164-257 point wise this season

So which site is more accurate? EDIT: And thanks for ripping on my purchasing decisions.....

I haven't had problems with an ATI driver for a long time, which is why I'm not bothered by them. I'm also not concerned with the multi GPU platform, since I cannot afford it, nor do I feel it is necessary. I haven't been keeping up on things, as my Radeon 9800 Pro still serves me just fine. At the time the Radeon 9600 series was far and away the best bang for your buck. A quick check though, and I notice that the Crossfire X850XT can beat two SLI 7800 GTX chips in Half-Life 2. Based on the benchmarks at Tom's Hardware it still looks like ATI = DX9 (or at least Half-Life 2) and nVidia = OpenGL. In both cases, performances are still plenty fast enough. The most intriguing thing about the Crossfire that I noticed is that it doesn't require identical cards. EDIT: Interesting that it's better to play Half-Life 2 with 1 card rather than SLI (!)

There was an option that would auto aim to the closest guy, I always turned that on to make up for the off screen difficulties. It would only work when you first pushed the button, so you still had to let go and reuse. I still remember RE2, and I quite enjoyed the game. I tried playing RE afterwards, and turned it off once the dude said "Whoa! You were almost, a...Jill Sandwich!!!"

I remember the controls being fine for a dpad. But I think I would struggle using an analog stick for some reason.

I think it's fair to consider the (1996) Rage a gaming chip for its own pre-voodoo moment in history, and it was billed as a 3D accelerator, which was a perfectly reasonable title for it at the time and was accurate in practice, insofar as it did provide some limited support for hardware acceleration of, for example, Mechwarrior 2. At any rate, it was no worse than the NV1 or Virge (which, was my own first 3D card) among pre-3DFX attempts at gaming chips, even if the Verite did ultimately outclassed it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was actually referring to the Rage128, which came out in the 1998/1999 area. I was wholly unimpressed with a Rage Pro 8MB I had received for free. It didn't have native OpenGL support, and obviously no Glide. Imagine my confusion when I figured it would be possible to play 3D games, but since Glide was still the big boy I was SOL. The Rage128 (Rage Fury) was the first ATI card I had that had good 3D performance. It had fantastic Quake 2 performance, though initially it had subpar performance, particularly on AMD K6 processors. Then they released a patch that had 3DNow! support, and I was in a whole different world. Finally I could play games with fast 3D support!!! As I'm a supporter of the underdog, I continue to support ATI. Although their Linux drivers leave a lot to desire. Fortunately I don't do too much 3D activities in Linux.

No, the developers were

As much as it goes against my Tireless Rebutter persona, I'm with you on this one.

Any goalie should be traded for Luongo
