Do you honestly feel that way when the party you vote for gets a huge majority gov't? Yup, the BC Liberals a few years back, I voted for them and they got every seat but 2. Thats a terrible way to run a government, you need to have everyone represented. We need to switch to a proportionate representation system. Which is what the NDP are pushing for, which is one of the reasons I vote for them.

Marijuana is decriminalized in BC. You get fined for posession, but its less than a speeding ticket. I'm not necessarily saying they should be jammed into genpop in a standard prison, but when you attack a guy with an axe and cripple him, house arrest just isn't enough IMO.

So Belarus has an election thread so why the hell not the great white north. So far its looking like a Conservative majority is in the books, which is only bad if you consider that they have the support of something like 30% of Canadians. Yay first past the post is a multi-party system! The NDP though are making significant gains and are looking to gain the most seats they've had since 1988. Dion was a terrible choice as the leader of the Liberals and I see his leadership as the main reason for the Liberals dramatic decline this election. I'll likely be voting NDP again. Layton is the only leader I like, and I agree with most of their platform, though I do agree with the Conservative stance on youth justice. Just because a violent criminal also happens to be under 18 doesn't mean they should be sent on vacation rather than to jail.

The Earthbound one doesn't sound annoying, it sounds awesome.

I'm voting NDP again. Harper is a douchebag and Dion is an even bigger douchebag. So I'me voting for the moustache.

If you have not found it - you should now. The release date was pushed back in Canada. I got mine @ an EB Games retail front fwiiw. Yeah, it hit Future Shop on friday and I snagged my copy.

Has anyone else had a hard time finding a copy? Future Shop and Best Buy in Canada appear to not carry it, and EB keeps saying they should get a shipment in the next couple weeks. I figured since I couldn't find anyone with a copy of Duckman Season 1&2 either, I would just order it online, but the only canadian online store I figured would have both was Amazon.ca, but it doesn't carry The Witcher.

Tried to get tickets to the AC/DC concert in November in Vancouver here. Tickets went on sale at 10:00, were sold out by 10:03. I don't know a single person who tried for tickets and got them, yet there's a douchebag on Ebay with like 60 tickets selling them for anywhere from 250-800 bucks a ticket.

First crush I don't even remember her name. First crush on me was grade one, me and a guy named Colin were fighting over a girl named Chelsea. I won and got me first kiss. I never went through that whole "EEW GIRLS" phase.

I enjoyed it. Dr Bishop is definitely entertaining. "I'll need a lab..." "You have a lab, your old one at Harvard. We reopened it for you don't you remember?" "No, but thats wonderful news!"

Space, there aren't any regular pirates.

If you're a vicious carnivore pirates attack less.

Likely the first or one of the first will be the aquatic expansion, letting you create aquatic creatures and undersea cities and such. He also talked about a fauna expansion, which honestly I think would be hella boring. I say go with the aquatic one first, then do ones that expand the gameplay of each phase. For example one that makes the Tribal phase fun, then one that makes the Civ stage fun, then one that makes the creature stage the living breathing ecosystem we saw in early gameplay videos with all the creatures intermingling and such with herds and solitary hunters or pack hunters etc. instead of all the creatures pretty much staying put at their nests.

Inconsistent game design is huge... I remember getting Lionheart, having a blast in Barcelona, then the game took an about face and turned into Diablo for the last half of the game. I eventually just quit because it was terrible.

I'm not a fan of how the bonuses work. If I like the look of a certain mouth or such, I'm potentially penalized because its bonuses aren't as good as the terrible looking later mouths. This is the same for pretty much everything. Also, I don't like how the omnivore/herbivore/carnivore trait is hardwired into the different mouths. I wanted to create an herbivore bird, but couldn't because the beaks are omnivore. I think it would work better if you could choose your parts at no cost, then use your DNA points to buy your stat bonuses.

I actually believe that piracy killed the Dreamcast. I knew about 8 people who owned dreamcasts, didn't know anyone who owned any games though, just a big stack of burns.

I was VERY disappointed in the tribal and civ stages. The rest is fun.

My problems with the film were that Christian Bale looks awful in the batsuit with his bitch chin, and the way he sticks his lips out as far as they'll go when he talks doesn't help matters.

I didn't like the interface, and I especially didn't like that you couldn't edit it to suit your tastes. Firefox is where I'll stay.

Apparently Golden Compass is the reason New Line got folded back into WB. New Line had a deal for distribution where basically they kept all the domestic gross of the film, while distributors got all the international gross. The movie then went on to make about 80 million domestic and about 400 million international. WB then folded New Line into WB proper in order to void the distribution deal so they could make the sequels and keep the profits. My big problem with Golden Compass was that they cut the ending. The book ended with . I like that ending better personally.

Check out Spaced. its the british tv show from the same people.

Thats because it is. They're doing a CG clone wars series, the movie in theatres is the first 3 episodes cut together. Lucas thought it was good enough for a theatrical showing.

Poor bastard One Minute Silence - Holy Man Been on a huge Richard Cheese kick. Especially since we discovered the little one loves him.

If you're into some lighter fare, Marvel's Runaways is quite good. Its about a bunch of kids who find out their parents are secretly a league of supervillains who run all the crime on the west coast.
