Well, I think that also, the ending scene really figures into the plot a lot.

Just when you thought...
This reminds me of the Jet Li movie "The One" where he's traveling around to other universes and killing alternate forms of himself in order to take in their power. Although he didn't eat them...would have made the movie more interesting for sure.

Diablo 3 Officially Announced
I'm pretty excited for this classic to come back. I really like how Blizzard (now Acti/Vivendi/Blizzard ) is updating and adapting their older classics and coming out with sequels. This and starcraft 2 are going to log a lot of my time. Without hacks for sure on my first playthrough...

Xbox 360 Respawned
How is the multi on H2 these days? Obviously it used to be thriving but with H3 and especially COD biting off huge shares of the online users, is it still active?

Demigod debut trailer
It does look really cool. It's been a while since there was a real good RTS game that came out. I'm hoping this can fill that void for me.

The Beer Thread
I picked this one up at the grocery store tonight based on your recommendation. It has Orange Peel in it? It will be interesting, I'll try it tomorrow night. I've had it once and it was alright. It had a powerful wheaty taste if I remember right. Which I suppose it to expected when drinking a Belgian beer. Any recommendations for the future, I'm looking to get something off the beaten path to have this weekend?

NHL
I suppose I can agree with that. It's just odd because it seems like a rebuilding move for them, trying to start anew and while to some degree they are doing that, but next year should be a much better year for the Hawks. I guess they are grooming him to be the leader for many years to come. Odd though too because he missed, what, 27 games last year? He must have a heck of a presence in the locker room. Or just lead by example, probably one of the same reasons that Ovechkin wears an A for the Caps. Because he plays hard night in and night out.

What are you playing now?
I'm actually going to do the same thing before the second game. Just curious, how close are you and hwo many hours have you put in? I want to gauge myself and get an estimate of how much I'll have to play to get there.

Star Wars Photoshopping contest artwork
Some good ones in there, but as has been said before some ones that people should have kept to themselves.

E3 2008
And because PC gaming hasn't on some very noticable fronts such as multiplayer features. Well, I think more accurately it's just that consoles have finally caught up to PC gaming for multiplayer. I mean for a long time the PC was the only way to do multiplayer, especially over the internet. Now, consoles (well, mainly the 360) have assets that can be used for online play. PC games can still be wildly successful but I think most people are turning to consoles just because it's not necessary to upgrade them at all.

What are you playing now?
Finally got my xbox back from MS! I can't wait to get out of work and get home to start playing again...I'm building up a pile of shame that I need to complete.

NHL
Agreed. There are more veteran players on the team like Robert Lang or Brent Seabrook who have been around the team longer and probably know the guys in the dressing room better. The reason I'd never advocate for someone like that to be captain is because you never know if the older players will even listen or care when he speaks.

NFL 2008 Season
Happy about the Skins getting all their draft picks signed. I'm happy about Colt Brennan especially because I want to see if he can do something with the chance he's given. He was certainly more than impressive in college, however playing in the NFL is hardly playing in the WAC.
-
Xbox 360 Respawned
I'm still really disappointed by this. I would really like to be able to have each player be one member of the squad; including Cole and Baird. I'm not sure why they wouldn't include it in the game but maybe dev costs are too high.

What do you guys think of Toews being named the captain of the Blackhawks next year?

PLAY BALL! The 2008 Baseball Season Begins
It's times like these when I wish I had the MLB online video package. ESPN did pick up the Wednesday game though right?

But keep in mind he's also the guy behind Sin City, which was a damn impressive movie. Fraid not, friend. Robert Rodriguez co-directed Sin City with Frank Miller. Zack Snyder, of homoerotic 300 fame, is the creative mind behind the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake. That said, the trailer looks promising. Ah thanks for the clarification. I thought Frank Miller was pretty hands on with the production of 300 but I could be wrong. I didn't enjoy the film much myself so I didn't spend much time reading up on it or its backstory or production.

Procrastination
I can sympathize with that too. I work better when the pressure is on because in those situations I know that I actually have to do the work otherwise I'm screwed. I don't think i shoot myself in the foot on purpose but I do bide my time until I cannot wait any longer. Maybe that is shooting myself in the foot..ha, must be subconscious .

Videogames -> Movies
How was dead or alive? That bad? I saw the trailer for it and it looked like a pretty poor adaptation of the game so I passed. I didn't see it in the box office talk either so I'm guess it's take was low too...

Xbox 360 Respawned
It just sounds like a very odd game. It's a weird premise. Nothing wrong with mythology because it was worked in and out of Max Payne, but given the ambitious goals that they had and all the marketing they did, I don't think it's going to do well. Plus Dennis Dyack keeps getting into it with people on message boards and I'm not convinced that any publicity is good publicity in the video game world.

E3 2008
I agree. I think the biggest thing is profit. Now that PC games have declined, the console market is the way to go. I mean, with MS making a console, don't you think that if they wanted to, they could have done it with this generation? It just doesn't make sense from a monetary standpoint. I think they'd rather have 2 revenue streams.

Games you are looking forward to
Ok cool the last 3 posts have been great. There's really nothing like being able to take out a whole patrol of mercs like Benecio in The Hunted with no one knowing where you are or what's going on...

Videogames -> Movies
I agree with all your points acutally. I found Doom to be damn enjoyable. Actually, I watched the movie with a film major and he said that while it wasn't the new Citizen Kane, it wasn't a bad movie at all and that he enjoyed it.

PLAY BALL! The 2008 Baseball Season Begins
Quite a move for the Phillies. I think it'd be cool to see them win the division this year, and pitching is certainly what they needed to beef up their chances of that happening.
