I thought the submarine thing was really dumb. A submarine would be so impractical in their situation. It would be extremely hard to procure one, it'd be insanely expensive and you'd need a professional crew to run and maintain it when a boat could do the same thing. But I also agree the box idea was pretty dumb and just outrageous, even for Lost. To be completely honest I don't like how the series has manifested at all since the begining of season 3. The hatch was cool and mysterious and all but it's like they've completely left the island behind. It holds no more mystery and danger no more whispers and scariness. It's just a complete bastardization of it's former self. I'm tired of seeing the melodrama between Kate, Jack, and Sawyer. Especially after he saw her sleep with Sawyer, when is that going to come up. Probably never because its like worse than a soap opera. Lost has pretty much devolved into a badly planned drama with a few cheap thrills and explosions. As for the episode it was pretty decent. Locke is no longer my favorite character because he's not the wise, good, and enigmatic person he used to be. He's just a deranged elderly man with some serious emotional issues. Jack's mad piano skills made up for some things but Kate had to ruin everything becuase shes such an annoying whore jeez i wish she'd fall off a cliff already.

I was saying Intel CPU. Obviously I don't know much about hardware but I've seen intel chips months and months ago that were 700+, I don't see how they'd release brand new next gen chips for less than that. Of course I could be wrong but that doesn't exactly make sense. And for graphics cards I know you could get like the 8800 or something but thats still like ~500.
-
Fight Club/Oldboy and Fable or Kotor 1 win out imo. and for book The Count Of Monte Cristo easily the best book ever written.
-
Yeah I think he said he didn't want to spend a fortune. Those chips will probably be like 500 bucks alone or something. Not to mention if you want to run dx10 at highest graphics you are going to have to spend a lot of money. Of course the best action is to always wait, I mean I waited 2 years to get the parts for my computer. I was just trying to give the best quality for money that I knew of.

My recommendation is get an MSI board, dual core AMD, GeForce 7900gt, Western Digital or Seagate harddrive, OCZ or Corsair 2x 2gig ram, OCZ special game awesome powersupply, and you should be good. If you get a decent case it should have plenty of cooling. I got all that stuff and a 19 inch monitor, mouse, etc and it costed me 1400 but its a really solid rig. Btw if you don't already know Newegg.com is like the best place to get hardware off the internet. Good prices, most everything has warranty, and I didn't have one problem getting all my stuff from them except there was slight structural damage to my hard drive but it works fine. Anyways I'd just check out the reviews on any of the products you are thinking of buying then asking someone who knows a thing or two about computers if its legit.

Dude if you've been able to replace stuff in your computer you'll be fine. I put together a pc myself so I'm sure you can too. I thought it would be really hard and it kind of was but you'll do fine. There are a few tricks I guess. There are sites to help. http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/144 This site looks pretty legit, shows pictures and explains things.

They could find conclusive evidence that Jesus never existed but people would still believe. It all comes with the territory of blind faith and all that jazz. Of course it'd give atheist some arguing points to fuel the fire for the war on Christmas and all that stuff but both sides would still be ignorant fools who are arguing over something thats honestly pretty irrelevant. Edit: btw I'm just generalizing a large portion of people who say they are Christian or Atheist but know almost absolutely nothing about their beliefs except the fact that they "are." There are plenty of awesome and smart people who are Christian and Atheist but the people who just buy into this stuff without even reading the bible or really having a clue about what they label themselves are, really give a black eye to the whole. Same with stupid white kidse who think they are Buddhist even though they don't know the first thing about it.
-
I watched a small documentary on it and basically the chances of it not being Jesus are so minute its impossible. The person entombed inside is named Jesus, and theres a bunch of other references inside to people who had names of people closely associated with him. Things like his parents names and a bunch of other stuff, they made it sound really convincing of course and I have horrible memory so I don't even remember.
-
Just watched Children Of Men. The concept and stuff is cool but as a film I was very unimpressed. Ending sucked the black snake hardcore but the acting was good and a lot of people were needlessly murdered so all in all i give it a 3.5/5
-
Watched The Inside Man. Denzel Washington is pretty awesome and it's definitely a good movie. Nice twist and not just another stupid bank robbery movie. 5/5 Just watched pan's labyrinth, and I gotta say the ending is pretty sad and stuff but it was a good movie none the less. I would of liked it more if they had put more fairy tale stuff in it though, it was definitely lacking in that respect for sure. I mean how do you name a movie pan's labyrinth and make it seem like a crazy fairy tale movie and have like only a half an hour of the entire film about that. 4/5
-
yeah the episode was good. Jacks dad is in everyones business though. It seems like locke is becoming more decietful. Like in the begining he was good natured but now hes just a snake in the grass and I have a feeling he may go to the other side. I'm wondering when Pen's search group will find the island though I mean its been like a ton of eps since then.
-
Just watched Babel. I was a little bored in the first half of the movie so I went with my friend to guitar center but once I came back and started watching it picked up really quickly. I thought this was a pretty good film. A little slow but it has an excellent soundtrack and everyones stories coming together made for a nice plot.

Must be one whack job doctor if you ask me. Marijuana is not something that is keeping her alive. Edit: Ok i didn't actually read the article but still it seems a tad bit far fetched.

The second season is infinitely better than the first in my opinion. I just wish they wouldn't have given her such horrible clothes to wear every episode.

Saw 300. Was surprisingly pretty good. I absolutely hate Hollywood action flicks but 300 was well done. I really liked the artistic style of the film and the action wasn't half bad. I think the key to really liking this film is not caring/knowing about all the hoopla history and propaganda behind it and just take it as it is and don't be a analytic scum bag. Also for the Departed I'm pretty sure
-
The Illusionist was an amazing movie. Kept my attention the whole time from start to finish. The Prestige was just alright. I mean the twist at the end was pretty good but the begining was just slow. Nothing happened. It was just non interesting. At least The Illusionist had tricks and stuff and mysteriousness to keep you busy.
-
Is it a good game? I was thinking about buying it but I don't want to waste the money on it. Plz give a review. Much appreciated.
-
I watched the Prestige a few days ago. Gotta agree, it starts out really slow and is almost agonizing. I mean nothing happens, everything seemed to be out of context and I wasn't sure if things were in the past or present or if I'm just retarded. I have to admit though the ending was pretty crazy but it still didn't make up for almost entire half of the movie in which nothing freakin happened. Especially since the end seemed to be a bit dramatic and a little played up.

Dude when I buy a game. I get it, and get the hell out as fast as I can. People are generally retarded so I can't be wasting my time talking to some chump who makes 6 dollars an hour who for the most part thinks he actually has some kind of knowledge of any subject relating to anything. Not to mention I must have d*** stamped on my face because people rarely ever try to start small talk with me even though I'm always polite saying thank you and such. But w/e I guess I'm just a bitter schmuck.

First mistake: Talking to someone who works at a video game store. Second Mistake: Buying something other than bioshock or mass effect. Third Mistake: Trying to argue with someone who works at a video game store. Fourth Mistake: Calling the dude back to prove your point. I'm sorry dude but when you called the store just to tell him that, that just like blows my mind. I don't really get angry, but I'd be pissed off if some retard like that tried that with me but I wouldn't look on the internet then call the store and tell him he's wrong. You just played into his hand, you should of just found his car and broke his tail light and stashed cp in his trunk then call the cops on him.

lol i liked the EA reference. I too hate them with a passion. They suck so hardcore but they get into so many games and they always end up horrible. If i was a developer I'd stay as far away as possible from them and firebomb their head quarters because they suck.

I listen to Opie and Anthony on 107.5. Pretty decent show, has Jim Norton and Beatrice Oneal alot of the time but jokes about mentally disabled people and other lewd subjects get boring after a while.

First one has way to much going on. Needs to be more minimalistic, I'd recommend just one single glass and try to make it as dynamic as possible. Though I like the leaves in the one and also the reflection in the red. Second picture is worth a thousand words of awesome. Nice.
