  1. They still don't do returns.
  2. The Cure - Homesick
  3. EB Games doesn't do returns.
  4. Abandonware != Pirated
  5. IW wasn't all that bad. I had a fun time with it...but I played it before I played the original.
  6. I could never get my totally legit abandonware copy to work. Something to do with the DivX codecs they used.
  7. So if murder wasn't illegal you'd have no problems with it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's some people I would have no qualms about killing. "
  8. Heh.
  9. C'mon, people pay for tattoos of their lover's names. "
  10. Neither Bush nor Clinton have accepted responsibility for 9/11, even though both can take their own share of the blame. But Bill Clinton did not make things any better during his time in the oval office. Bill Clinton had criticized Bush for not doing enough to prevent 9/11. He had more of an opportunity than Bush did at first to get bin Laden. He had the reason and the opportunity. What if Bush had decided to go after bin Laden right off the bat when he first came into office? It probably would not be much different than what you see today with Iraq. All these cries of American aggression and an unprovoked, unjust war. You would probably have many people accusing him of just trying to finish what Clinton started. Bill Clinton could have avoided that if he had chosen to actually aggressively pursue bin Laden after he initially attacked the U.S. He had an opportunity, and he squandered it. Thanks to him, it probably was inevitable. The plans for 9/11 were concieved as early as 1999. Nobody would have guessed that terrorists were planning on flying planes into buildings. With the warnings the BA recieved, everyone expected a typical hijacking, which the report seemed to indicate. Clinton however, did not make bin Laden a big issue during his final years as a President. Then he tries to blame Bush for not doing enough. That is hypocrisy. And yes, he is playing politics. Both sides are playing politics. But don't try to make it seem like one side is more guilty than the other. Bill Clinton is just as, if not more guilty than Bush for 9/11. The people have every right to place the blame on his shoulders. Of course, ultra-liberals won't do that, neither will the vast majority of the media. The media has always been liberally biased. And when Fox News comes around, everyone accuses it of bias. They don't do it because of facts, mind you, they do it because they present an alternate viewpoint. So many liberals simply dismiss it as mindless conservative bullcrap propaganda without actually trying to prove how or why it is so. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love the hypocrisy here, I think I'm going to go make a thread painting a conservative politician in a good light so I can see the other side of it.
  11. It was like that for a little bit but then the weather was all "HAHA FOOLED U" and went back to acting like summer. I think the nights and days are a little bit cooler but only just, and the temperatures were really high this year so it's like a normal summer as compared to a "Why can't I just curl up and die now?" summer. Which incidentally some people did do, heat stroke and all.
  12. Or just get a download manager. Download Accelerator, GetRight, etc.
  13. Mine looks like XP but it's silver. Meaning not the horrible blue and surprisingly transparent when running applications. Blends right in with the scrollbars.
  14. Ah, so it's more to do with the way it's running it's code than the raw power of the system?
  15. What are the differences between the PC and 360 versions of this game? Because there's no way in hell the 360 can compete with a Quad-Core system hardwarewise.
  16. This: From this:
  17. The pawns would be the most strategic position. They can only move forward so they have to wait until they really think they can hit someone. You'd have the biggest dude on the team play the Queen, because they have the most mobility and you'd want him to smash lots of people, and you'd have the fastest/strongest dude on the team play the King in the hopes he's not caught.
  18. I was thinking more along the lines of getting thirty-two people dressed like chess pieces assembled on a giant board. They're only allowed to move on the squares and in the directions their piece would be able to in a regular game of chess. Taking pieces would involve tackling, possibly wrestling.
  19. Shame on you Nick, that's not very nice.
  20. What do you mean by full contact? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Another example of full contact sports: http://www.kungfu.net/sanshou.html Other definitions here: http://www.answers.com/topic/contact-sport (search for "Full-contact sport" on the page). A full-contact sport is similar to a semi-contact sport, but which contains physical contact between the combatants with the aim of causing a knockout or otherwise rendering the opponent inable to continue the match. Injuries are much more common in full-contact sports since the amount of protective gear is often reduced, and the techniques are executed at full power. Makes Chess much more interesting <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My god that would be the funnest game ever if I could get enough people together to play it. :D
  21. Little cheaper than normal. Games usually start out at $49.99 over here. I saw Darkstar One and while it looked neat I didn't really know anything about it. Also I'm broke. Maybe when it comes down in price and I've got this current financial mess sorted out.
  22. Sorry everyone else forgot, but you know I got your back. I have no idea what the text on this means but it came up in a GIS for 'Arkan'.
  23. Technically not a car but it has four wheels! Dodge Tomahawk More pictures and press release. Stupid laws and they're not wanting to let me have any fun.
