I like both of those games. Been playing quite a bit of HOI2 as I recently picked it up.

I have no objection to hoods. And they would make the masks more usable.

Having uber players everywhere else will definitely overshadow a weak QB. Just have a running game

More "elevens" required.

Orgazmo: "I don't want to sound gay or anything....but I'd really like to have sex with you." Very dedicated to your ideals. I can respect that...I guess.

I am pretty sure they said there'll be nothing like Terrorism in the game. Given the retar- I mean activists in the general public, I can understand this stance.

THat would make them gayz0rs. On an aside, I like the studies that have been done that show outspoken homophobic mean demonstrate increased phallic bloodflow when presented with homosexual erotic images, compared to those that are secur- I mean not homophobic

Without the close-ups you are used to in porn flicks, and all within the graphic engine of the game, but yes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Still fully clothed right?

Someone pointed out something neat at my University towards the end of the semester. I guess it's not uncommon for Microsoft to recruit people that do well in the programming challenges around the world. These challenges often involve programmers that are under a time crunch, and only really need to get something that works well enough to pass the test at the deadline, and perform it well enough that the judges approve EDIT: Doesn't Longhorn have 64-bit support?

Basketball is more extreme I find, since it has smaller teams, and it's easier to justify paying one man a lot of money since one man can make more of a difference in basketball than probably any other team sport.

I was able to find 7 people who still have existing contracts that would have been for more than $10 million dollars. This was also just based on salaries, not including any signing bonuses or anything. Nick Lidstrom Keith Tkachuk Alexei Yashin* Jaromir Jagr Peter Forsberg (for 3 of last 4 years, with a 9.5 mill in there) Sergei Fedorov Pavel Bure * Alexei Yashin's information is from tsn.ca, which states his salary for the upcoming year. Most were taken from USA today, since tsn.ca's analysis did not have free agents on their teams, so I had to look elsewhere for Forsberg's and whatnot. Honorably mentions: (Between 8 and 10 million...since I don't know of any bonuses on the contracts). Values in millions of dollars Joe Sakic: $9.8 Chris Pronger: $9.5 Rob Blake: $9.3 John LeClair: $9.0 Mike Modano: $9.0 Mats Sundin: $9.0 Bill Guerin: $8.9 Bobby Holik: $8.9 Doug Weight: $8.5 Jason Allison: $8.0 Curtis Joseph: $8.0 18 players in total. The NFL Page lists 21 players making over $10 million dollars, bonuses included. Going with a conservative 44 players on a football team (starters and one sub...and this is VERY conservative, given the Bills had over 60 players on their team roster), times 32 teams is 1408 players. So 1.5% of the NFLs active players make over $10 million. Going with a beefy 36 players (enough for two full teams to play a scrimmage), times 30 teams is 1080 players. So 1.7% of active NHL players make over $10 million. :D yes yes, this is goofy and not very accurate, but funny to me since I'm sleep deprived.

I find the more we try to restrict sex, the more fascinated we are by it. I'm sure if we were all nekkid all the time, no one would care about catching a peek of anyone's jubblies, since it'd be so meh. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Most people's jubblies aren't worth a first look. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's just it. But even for those people, in our society, we all love a peek since they are so taboo!

I'm all about freedom! :D EDIT: Referring to Role-Player's decision to vary the order of blood bathing and what not, not looking at jubblies.

I think that has more to do with PC development being a little "lazy" and taking for granted the memory availability. Not that you weren't saying that. Call me Cpt Obvious!

Boo to anyone that doesn't honour a contract, regardless of what side they're on. Then why are all the players saying "Why did we hold out? Goodenow gave us a crap deal!" Brett Favre made 5 million last year. Steve McNair brought in 6 million. The only goofy salary I could find was Peyton Manning, who only made 500k from his contract, but got 34 million from a signing bonus. The best players in the NFL tend to make ~$5-6 million dollars, with the odd exception, based on what little looking around I did at this site
