I'm listening to this It's pretty catchy actually You just need to make it through the beginning dialogue, just like in Sir Mix-a-lot's Baby Got Back

Don't forget that some of the mass-murder simulators also double as diplomacy simulators!

If it was purely a love of the game thing, there's plenty of alternative places to play hockey than just the NHL. If it's also just for the love of the game, I doubt they'd hold out to begin with. Michael Jordan never held out in basketball, even when he wasn't the highest paid player on his team (like 94/95 and 95/96). Trades don't have to suck. If trades absolutely sucked for players, then why would players demand to be traded? Often time a trade occurs because a player is not fitting into the system of a particular team. If that player's not fitting into the system, I highly doubt he's having a blast playing for that team. Just like Hockey Players aren't traded to the NFL. You're still playing in the NHL when you get traded. And it still doesn't change the fact that if the player feels the trade is unfair, he doesn't have to play in the NHL anymore.

That's where we're going with all of our murder simulator time ^_^ Lets get somewhere else first in the meantime

But you said it was crap treatment because they have to leave their city and all that stuff. Relocation is EXACTLY the same. I go to work in LA for a company because I like LA. But they relocate to Bumsville, so if I want to keep my job, I deal with it. If the player doesn't like being traded, he should quit pro-hockey, just like I quit my job in Bumsville. No they don't. Why would someone bash someone for getting a no trade clause? Maybe you have retarded fans, but I know of no one that has ever bashed any player for wanting a no trade clause. Furthermore, you make it sound like trades are only evil to players. Many players ask for trades. And in many cases trades turn out for the better for the player. Anson Carter used to talk about how in Boston the coach would joke about how if they didn't play well they'd be traded to Edmonton. When he actually was traded to Edmonton, he loved the hockey atmosphere and enjoyed his stay here. Just like being relocated in a job, players are not forced to go through with the trade. If the situation is not one they want to be in, then they can quit. Obviously something is keeping them around, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the money.

sorry. Because he's not being a d!ck to Eru. Happy?

Penguins in the Arctic? As for taking over other countries, we shouldn't have a problem...as long as we focus on a country that doesn't have video games. Our exposure to the murder simulators would enable us to conquer virtually any piece of underdeveloped land in the world. In fact, I'd wager that any armed forces that haven't yet used the murder simulators wouldn't stand a chance. I've killed so many people I'd make an ace Sniper. Just give me an AWP and I'd blast so many of the foreign army's troops they'd think I was wall-hacking.

Because he's not being a dink to Eru. On topic: glad you had a good time Eru.

I remember in one of my psych classes putting an electrical transmitter on the tongue of a blind individual that was attached to a special camera. The brain was able to interpret these signals in such a way that the person was able to detect what was in front of them accurately. It was pretty neat. Someone else tried a similar idea by putting it on the forehead of an individual that was completely paralysed below the top of her head (not sure why she still had feeling there, but she did). It also worked with her, although with prolonged exposure, the effect didn't seem to last. The scientist theorized that the tongue is sensitive enough that it doesn't acclimatize itself to the stimulus, whereas the forehead does.

I really like the lip synching in Source!

Meh, he wouldn't need to be murdered then. He was already knocking on death's doorstep.

Agreed. Perhaps Space Bunnies Must Die would be more appropriate.

I didn't really mind Alien 3 as it was the first Alien movie I remember seeing. I vaguely remember my parents watching Aliens on Superchannel, but the stuff like the chestburster scene scared the crap out of me. I didn't "really" watch it, but I did remember the end of Aliens. Fortunately, my parents taped it..and I remembered it being on tape and found it in like 1993 or so Hudson was great, Vasquez (whom James Cameron must have liked, since her actor was in T2 as well) was a tough character woman. Gorman, the newbie Lieutenant. I really, really liked the soundtrack of the Aliens movie too. The excellent drum beat when Ripley hijacks the APC to extract the marines is perfect, and I can still play it in my head today. "Game over man, Game over!"

"How are you gentlemen?"

I'm going to assume that this "spammer" is nothing like Baley, but one of those guys that posts junk mail to millions of people per day.

All your base are belong to us "What you say?"

I believe the ratings primarily are there to try to help parents make informed decisions.

Hahahah

As said, AO is 18+. A huge change from 17+ Because at 17.5, they just can't handle GTA:SA...but at 18, no problemo.

Many jobs involve relocations, NOT just professoinal sports. And I am sure that when a player signs with a team, it's all about the team loyalty, not the huge money involved in the contract. The reason why so many trades occur, is because they team that that player is playing for is not sure they're going to be able to afford that player when they become a free agent at the end of the season. If there was any indication of player loyalty, they wouldn't have this concern. The Oiler paid Doug Weight more than any other player in franchise history, but it still didn't stop him from signing with St. Louis at the end of the year. Weight was loved and adored by fans and the city. There was many fan gatherings asking Weight to remain with the team, and the Oilers didn't try trading him away at the deadline, as is common with free agents. When it became clear that the Oilers could not make a deal with Weight, we were forced to trade him to St. Louis, otherwise risk losing him and getting nothing at all in return. And then you have people like Curtis Joseph that cries whenever he leaves a team. Didn't stop him from disappearing to Toronto or jumping ship to Detroit. In both cases the water works came out. Poor guy, like he was somehow forced to go to those different teams There's no loyalty in professional sports, on either side. You'll have the rare exception, but for the most part everyone is just interested in getting the most that they can for themselves.

Yashin held out twice. If Game Developers signed contracts that allowed for the trading of designers, then the designers would accept it. You don't "fire" a player, you place him on waivers. Unless by your wacky demonstrationg getting fired means you still get paid. Only with the current collective bargaining agreement can teams now "fire" a player, which involves buying them out of their contract which arguably is much better for the player, as they now aren't restricted by the contract they originally had.

Well, it's that "inverse" thing that had me going. Because I would say Alien, being the first, is #1. And so on and so on. In any case, you should still remember Aliens! An excellent action flick with good suspensive/creepy scenes to boot! Plus I'm a Michael Biehn fanboi.....I just like the style of characters he plays, and have been a fan ever since I saw The Terminator.

I figured this was some sort of attempt for Jack Thompson to make KOTOR 2 illegal.

Hmmm, I think you just let go of the button and click again (on the PC anyways). To be honest I can't really remember. It's all instinct now!

Ye resurrecter of dead threads!
