  1. Except that those games have so little in common. Particularly the Old School Ultima games, compared with Fallout and BG.
  2. Why's it odd? Seems to be the thing to do around here. I'm surprised you can't see the distinction between no one really caring about all the religious stuff that you go through in Denmark, and no one really caring about two words in the pledge. What I do find unusual is that you have no problems with being forced into communion and religion, yet do have problems with a pledge that doesn't even need to be recited. But of course, there's no suching thing as religious fundamentalists in Denmark At least the US is my neighbour and largest trading partner.
  3. Grrr, I notice that my DVD special edition does not qualify for the free Blue Shift release!
  4. People are Unless it really is Volourn but he's just saying it's NOT Volourn to throw us off the scent!!!
  5. I certainly wouldn't call it a fighting game ala Tekken though. Although I'm not sure really what constitutes a "straight" CRPG either.
  6. I'm born on the same day as J.S. Bach.
  7. I'll do it. If he gets a penalty, he'll have no choice but to watch me give him the finger too!
  8. Odd that Lucius is ok with his official church since no one particularly agrees with it, nor even seems to care about it, yet two little words in a country that he doesn't even belong to makes a big kafuffle for him.
  9. Isn't that just a synonym for the standard
  10. I'm Canadian, and even a borderline athiest, and I don't care about any "under god" statements. Meh.
  11. Meh, they stunk up the joint IMO tonight. Their one goal was pretty weak, and failing to score on 3 separate 5 on 3 power plays. Heck, sometimes failing to really even get a shot! But I know it's not the flames we will see when it counts, so it's all in good fun
  12. But it's lacking the 78 hit juggle moves, and the fact that their's only 3 attack buttons, instead of 48 If you were to compare it with any type of fighting game, I'd see more in common with a Double Dragon type game than a Mortal Kombat style game.
  13. My friends and I are going all out for Gold tickets against Dallas. We consider it "supporting the team" in our delusional state. But it is Row 3 in section 101! :D
  14. Yeah, I noticed that too. I went to change my lineups because of an injury, and I noticed that I was editting the CPU's lines. Tsk tsk.
  15. I'm not a console gamer either. But I can still recognize Jade Empire for what it is. And it most definitely has nothing in common with typical fighting games, aside from the fact that people do in fact fight.
  16. Great game. Rexall would have absolutely exploded if Pronger had scored (which he did in the Joey Moss game). Wow it was loud. But Schremp was easily the best player on the ice for both teams. Had Sauve continued his play and not been swapped out midway through the second, he probably would have been a star too. I felt Calgary for the most part was outplayed, and they even failed to convert on 3 separate 5-3 powerplays. But it's not the full Calgary team, so I'm not going to hold it against them. A team with Iginla is automatically way better on the powerplay. I was also impressed with Laraque. He was very active, and even FAST (?!?!?!). He played a very physical game, was actively forechecking (and often still the first backchecker back), and even saw a ton of icetime while 4 on 4 (WTF?!?!??!?!). It looks like he came into camp in excellent shape. I was also happy with Bergeron. Very fast and active, and not afraid to let lose his shot. Stoll was also solid. Still not sold on Horcoff, though I would love him to have a breakout year! He did very poorly in the faceoff circle (Schremp and Stoll did quite well though), and had a medicore game IMO. Cross is definitely on the outside looking in IMO. He had trouble maintaining control of the puck, took bad penalties, and to be honest I felt Syvret played a way better game. There was one perfect scenario where Cross could have easily pinched up to maintain possession, but didn't both going for it. The situation was made very clear when the next time up, the EXACT same situation happened, and Pronger was the one and he pinched up, got a pass to Smyth who almost scored on a wrap around. Speaking of Pronger, you could see him helping out Bergeron on the ice, particularly at the face of circle. Here's hoping his Dman leadership spreads to Semenov (who had an average game...did well on the PK though) as well. There was a few times when the "twin towers" were on the ice though I honestly expected more penalties though. There were still situations that seemed just as clutch and grab, but they definitely were calling the questionable stickwork of some players (in addition to Stoll plastering some guy face first into the boards in a brutal checking from behind....if he hadn't ripped a beauty PP one-timer and had a good game up until then, I would have been very unhappy...at least he had instensity I guess). It was perfect having Smytty score though
  17. Oh noes. I just played a game against Vancouver on Difficult, and won 26-5. I learned how to score in the second period, when I put in 10 goals in 10 minutes (at 5 minute periods to boot) of the second period. If I win the center ice face off, I can score about 90% of the time. Now, Dvorak had 6 goals with 2 assists...but my guy had 1 goal, with 11 assists. They gave the 1st star to Dvorak, but really, 12 points in a single game? Considering all 6 of Dvorak's goals were assisted by me. In fact, I got assists on 8 of those 2nd period goals when I decided that the Vancouver goalies don't deserve good GAA. Not to mention the 8 consecutive faceoffs I won "
  18. That would just be changing the location of our school!
  19. It's what I do. I am a robot from the future, and "jokes" are beyond my programming. They require too vast of a neural network of constantly streaming data of information in order to determine the appropriate emotion...
  20. It's still a long ways away though, so don't get too hyped for it (yet ). My friend and I are planning on releasing it for NWN2. Currently in preproduction and all that jazz.
  21. Yup. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Do you have small arms. Or are you young? I can pretty much grab my chin on the other side with my arm over my head. Perhaps I'm the freaky gorilla.
  22. Woohoo, two tickets to the game tonight! (w00t)
