  1. The man was a legend in his own time.
  2. Thats funny, the voice cast and music are generally the only thing people like about that Dragonlance movie. They were certainly the only things I praised. Last movie I saw was Apocalypto. Not bad, but he would have died horribly of infection and internal bleeding. Also: http://movies.ign.com/articles/863/863492p1.html IGN's april fools joke was rather awesome.
  3. Its annoying that there was like 50 of them, but only 2 or 3 were any good. I would have been much more satisfied if there had been like 20 and 10 of them were good.
  4. I think it was the master/slave settings. I was using one of those vantec removable hard drive racks so it was a pain in the ass to figure it out, but eventually I just unhooked my DVD drive that was attached as a slave and plugged the drive into that. Luckily I hadn't deleted my old windows installation on my old drive because with this drive hooked up, for some reason the PC couldn't detect the windows installation on my SATA drive.
  5. So I got a new one, and didn't even think to check the IDE ports. So while my old MB had two IDE ports, the new one only has one, so one of my hard drives and one of my DVD drives are unusable. At first I didn't think it was a problem since I got a nice new 500 GB SATA hard drive and my older DVD drive was giving me problems anyway. I figured I'd just install windows on the SATA drive, then copy all the stuff from one hard drive onto the SATA drive and toss the old one. Problem is, now when I try plugging in the 2nd drive it gives me an error message. Something like media read error, check cable. I tried replacing the old cable with the one that came with the Motherboard, but no success. Which sucks because thats the drive with all my music and other various downloads that I really want.
  6. Nothing wrong with making it 3D. Making it 2d nowadays would ensure that it would sell 9 copies or be relegated to XBOX Live Arcade. Making it first person was the bad decision.
  7. Jumping between Europa Universalis 3 magna mundi gold mod, The Godfather, and Smackdown vs Raw 2008.
  8. He used to look like a tubby Mike Myers. Now he just looks like Feargus.
  9. Only one way to settle this: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=...rd2=creationism Evolution wins.
  10. I remember in a lot of older RPGs I would always get frustrated at the various castle levels because they were giant mazes. I remember yelling multiple times "WHO WOULD LIVE IN THIS!!?"
  11. One thing that irks me in the Godfather game is how no matter what car you have, enemy cars are always faster and able to run you off the road. Also, having a gang war with a family that you've eliminated, dying, and the non-existent family has bombed 9 of your businesses while you were out.
  12. Just finished watching Shoot 'Em Up. One of the funnest action romps I've seen in a long while. Its a rather absurd movie, but thats part of its charm.
  13. I just saw Stardust. It was a pretty good watch and after seeing it I have complete faith in Matthew Vaughn directing Thor. It was one of the better kid-aimed fantasy movies. Its worth the watch just to see Robert DeNiro dancing around in a dress with a pink feathered fan.
  14. On that note, a guy at work, his ex girlfriend was just brought up on charges of abusing his daughter. She has already had a child taken away from a previous relationship, and just had another child with a crackhead new boyfriend. She is currently on welfare. Anyway, people are making excuses for her being a complete waste of DNA like "she had a bad childhood" etc. which brings me to what grinds my gears: People who don't take responsibility for being a ****head. If you're a ****head, its not because mummy didn't love you enough or you weren't given enough opportunities, its because you're a ****head.
  15. Making you the most important member of the team obviously.
  16. It also adds yet more proof to the MJ is not Pete's true love argument. I'm so sick of MJ being his love interest when its obvious that if he could bring Gwen back he'd dump MJ in a heartbeat.
  17. Its not even wanting Aunt May more than his wife thats the worst part, its sacrificing his life with his wife in order to save the life of a 95 year old woman who should have been dead years ago anyway.
  18. Last movie I saw was Justice League: The New Frontier. Probably the best DC animated film, and right up there with Iron Man for best animated comic movie.
  19. Gary Gygax save vs death. roll: 1 failed save. Good luck on the higher planes.
  20. PS3 definitely has the edge on the hardware front, especially now that Blu Ray has won the HD format war. But hardware does not a console make. 360 has the edge software wise, with both a larger library and for the most part, better games. This gap is starting to even out though, and I see the ps3 catching up much like the psp is catching up to the ds. Xbox live marketplace is also much more user friendly than the playstation store. I currently only own a 360, but will likely buy a ps3 when I get an HDTV, as you get a cheap high end blu-ray player with a free video game console built in.
  21. My favorite episode was called The Game. First aired: 5/11/2007. In it McKay and Sheppard were playing an Ancient strategy game that turned out to be a social experiment and everything they had been doing in game, two groups of people were following on another planet. McKay's country used his face as a flag and emphasized science, with like zeppelins and bycicles and such, while Sheppards was all dark age barbarian with a large army. The entire time I was like "I want to play that game!" Also, the girl who ran McKay's country was hot.
  22. I also figured if I have an nvidia video card, it would make sense to have an nvidia mainboard too. I was looking at an EVGA 680i board, but there were two that appeared that the only difference was about 80 bucks... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813188015 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...88014(available on NCIX for 240 bucks, but appears to be identical to the above, which is 170)
  23. And this is why I asked for suggestions. Not doing SLi right now, just trying to somewhat future proof my machine. I got nearly 5 years out of my dual Xeon machine before the lack of PCIe slots made upgrading my video card way too expensive. I'd like to be able to do similar here. After this, next step is a power supply or a Raptor to run windows on. I was looking for a board I could eventually upgrade to a core 2 duo as well. So suggestions are good.
  24. So my computer had been giving me some trouble for a while, freezing during boot and during operation. A friend told me to try removing one of my ram sticks, I did and it worked fine. She said it was either the ram or something shorted in my motherboard. It started freezing again a couple hours later, so I figured it must be the board. This was confirmed a couple hours later when a loud pop sounded and some of my capacitors blew open and started leaking. So anyway, need a new motherboard. Don't have enough to upgrade everything, but I want something decent that will last. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...anufacture=eVGA this is what I was looking at, all I need to know is if it will work with a Pentium D. Its LGA775 so I'm assuming it will. Anyway, any thoughts or recommendations of other boards?
  25. I was at the Canucks/Kings game last night. Disappointing end but fun watch. Not Luongo's best night.
