Movies you have seen recently
Archie was the best. Yeah, it was good but it certainly wasn't Snatch, like you said. There were pieces missing which I think were quality acting and a more interesting plot. I thought stolen diamonds (from Snatch) was way better than real estate fraud, which seemed to be the plot here. Although I found the chase scene with the Russians hilarious.

No music on now actually, listening to the ESPN soccernet podcast.

What you did today
Excited for the Monday holiday.

So, uh. EA/Starbreeze working on a new Bourne game
One of the only I've heard I think you have to be into the universe, but I'd try to go back and play the whole game again, because it really drops you into the game and the storyline. It makes you care more about what's going on and you enjoy being in the prison and want to play more of the game. Granted, play more of the game to get out of the prison, but it was really enthralling, I could hardly put it down.

Any good games coming out?
I posted about this in another thread, but if you're an RPG fan then I'd check out Drakensang. It's based on the Dark Eye RPG rules system and adapted from a ridiculously successful German game. I've had my eye on this for a while and the game looks awesome...totally bringing back the old school RPG http://pc.ign.com/objects/824/824850.html It comes out February 24th

BREAKING NEWS: DEAD RISING 2 ANNOUNCED
Yeah, agreed...it was a silly game that was great to distract people, I didn't think the story or anything else was very well done or engaging. However, it didn't need to be because it was pure fun to find whatever weapons you can to use on the zombies.

Fallout 3
It's surprising how many of the things from the game are actually coming true or actually did exist in the Cold War era.

EA Closes One BioWare/Pandemic Studio
Really? I actually think they are more concerned with how much money their game makes, seems to be all about bottom line with these folks. I think they'll let a poor metacritic score slide if the game's making money. The recent trend is that better games make more money so that's why they have become seemingly obsessed with scoring.

Does Obsidian make anything for non-window systems?
Yeah, those big boxes really piss me off. You're definitely right about shelf space too, mine is rapidly disappearing and now I'm just staking things on the floor. Now I have these towers of old games stacked up.

I'm actually currently trolling around Wiki as I write this.

NFL 2008 Season
I'm not a fan of either team, but I'm really anxious to see the baltimore game this week, seems to me it will be a great one.

NHL
This seems just like a freak accident to me, with all the fights that happen etc, this hasn't happened before. Outdoor game was awesome. I tapped it and I'm going to keep in the DVR in order to rewatch it. Also, this goal must be watched if you're a sports fan at all let along a hockey fan:

DRM Thread
I was coming in here to post the same thing! I think this is great news, I'm so happy about this.

Recapping 2008
I'm in the same boat as you with those last two...I gotta get on my game and run through some RPGs though because I was just reading about Drakensang, which is coming in February. This looks really cool, the images are great and it's from the Dark Eye realm which is pretty legendary in the world of RPGs: http://www.drakensangus.com

Fallout 3
Wow, that's remarkable I would have had no idea that it was real I thought it was just overactive imaginations at Bethsoft. That's so funny.

Prop 8
Not getting involved in the debate myself, but I did think this was funny and lighthearted way to get one side of the argument across and it's received a ton of press: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5-fZKg4Uj4

DRM Thread
Seems like they may have just been testing the waters here too..just seeing what kind of DRM would elicit what kind of reactions out of consumers. Now they know what isn't going to work for US consumers, so the next release I'm guessing won't make the same mistakes.

Games you are looking forward to
I'm really looking forward to the english release of Drakensang at this point, there's a ton of press coming out of German and some of you might have actually played it in that version. It seems like they are updating it well into english and the premise of a classic fantasy RPG is interesting, because a lot of RPGs recently have been straying away from that territory. Plus the incredible press is a great sign that it's a quality game.

Fallout 3
Never played it but I love the premise of this one so I'm going to have to maybe look for this.
