Apple's G5? It is out.

Not to mention he went through the trouble of explicitly stating that he's only interested in XBOX gaming in his forum profile.

Apparently the cap for this year works well for the Oilers, as it's pretty much the unofficial cap they imposed on themselves in the preceding years.

Vader and his black visage is the epitome of all evil!!!

Exactly why I'm auditting my Linear Algebra class. I took it 5 years ago and in my Stats class, when we went onto Markov Chains I needed to give myself a refresher crash course :D

I wouldn't be adverse to QA myself. Although I don't know if Bioware is hiring for QA (or even has QA). If my friend gets hired, I'll have him put in a good word for me :D Although by that time I'll hopefully be in my internship, so QA would not really be worth my time, and I'll be working in a more programming specific field.

I could never finish the Aliens vs Predator games. There's something about the facehuggers that freak the shyte out of me, and once I get to them I can't really go on.

Err, I am teh suck at formal dancing.

I disagree. Many average gamers seemed to really like KOTOR. In fact, many have mentioned that it was their gateway into the world of RPGs. And KOTOR also featured choice. Granted, not everyone is going to like a game like Planescape: Torment, which is very story intensive and very dialogue heavy. And I think that if a game does a good job of making a story that allows choice, then the choices will seem transparent IMO.

I'd imagine the SS troopers also spent time on Hitler's new contraption...the "murder simulator"

He had no shortage of help at least.

My favourite so far. So true, so true.

I liked my SS trooper vs Hitler analogy :D In fact, if you want you can take Milgram's experiment into consideration and just say that the people that enforce the actions aren't necessarily evil...they're just following orders

Just like the old zelda.com

But is it less evil? I wouldn't call it cowardly perse....perhaps smart. Look what happened to Dooku and Maul.

How do they create these languages? Just have some voice over guys speak gibberish?

I suppose I could endure it had I gone through their training. Fair enough. On a side note, I think the fact that I get all choked up over devastating scenes like that is because of all the time I spend on murder simulators. After all, they've desensitized me into a monster that cringes and feels empathy for the characters in realistic depicitons of war.

The version I had heard was: "I see" said the blind man to his deaf wife while pissing in the wind. "It's all coming back to me now" :D

Well, Mr. Schmartty pants..... Uh, hmmm.....drawing a blank.........hmmmm hmmmm............aha!! no wait.....hmmmm..mmmm......aaaa..ooo...no....mmmm

Hey, if it makes you feel any better the opening scene (and several other scenes) in Saving Private Ryan were emotional for me, as I found them to be the most horrifying yet heroic display I had ever seen. There's no way I could see myself being able to find the courage to run up the beach. I have mad respect for anyone that had to endure D-Day, especially Omaha. Many other scenes like the Medic and the Waffen SS guy fighting Pvt. Melish also had me getting all choked up. If you haven't already, see if you can get a hold of HBO's Band of Brothers. It's also an emotional rollercoaster of following the troopers of Easy Company of the 101st Airborne Division. Easily one of the most enjoyable miniseries I had ever seen. It's cool listening to surviving members of Easy Company talk about their experience in Normandy/Europe.

Dune 2 = video game = arguably the originator of the RTS series. Made by Westwood Studios waaaaaaay back in the day. You had House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and House Ordos. Harkonnen believed in superior firepower, and generally had the guys with the biggest guns. And their special weapon was a nuke! Although the special weapon of the Atreides was the Freman, which was pretty nice because they were autonomous Heavy Infantry (which were pretty powerful, had strong guns and a rocket pack as well) squads that would go around wreaking havoc until they were destroyed. It was good fun!

Brenty's got skillz0rs! He left his audience just awestruck.

I could never tolerate the wookie-speak. Whoever had the great idea of filming a Christmas episode with non-subtitled wookie speak, deserves a smack upside the head.

OMG Link plz!!!!

Amazing Grace. Good song/poem/whatever you want to call it.
