I'm juggling Assassins's Creed and Lego Star Wars: Complete saga right now.

Saw Sweeney Todd last night. I thought it was well made and well acted but the song lyrics were awful.

I don't touch type and I found myself not having to look at the keyboard when I type either. Sometimes it means I hit two keys at once though. Its probably not the most efficient method of typing, but what works works I spose.

Sequels you wish were being made

Yes. -
The difference between the PS3 models aren't as drastic as the Xbox equivalents. I mean, you can easily replace the hard drive yourself since it's a standard 2.5" drive anyhow. The size of the hard drive doesn't really matter because of that. Then there are ports (card readers and USB) that differ but they, too, are of no dramatic consequence for the user (card readers are not used in games and who cares if there are two or four USB ports?). I would be much more annoyed to have bought an Xbox 360 without a HDMI port.. The biggest difference between the PS3 models is probably that one model supports PS2 games and the rest don't. In Sweden there have only been two models for sale anyhow: The 60 GB model and the newer (cheaper) 40 GB model. What I think Microsoft failed with the Xbox is that they didn't have a hard drive in all their models. That means all games must support the core version and NOT take full advantage of a hard drive. in the US the 60gig is no longer available in favor of the mighty 80gig (comes with motorstorm.) Theres the 40 gig one too.

What I'm looking for isn't really a sequel, but kind of a spinoff. I'd like them to take World of Warcraft, and made a single player RPG. One that spans the entire world. They already have all the graphics they need, just spend a year making quests. -
I really hope Sam Raimi doesn't do them. He's all wrong for it.

Pretty much anything to do with chicken I'll eat. Big fan of sushi too

I thought Shrek 2 was good. I thought while the first had more heart, the 2nd was funnier. The third was just garbage though.

The Longest Journey. Throughout the game I was absolutely loving everything about the story and characters, then the ending comes and I'm like "**** YOU!"

tvshowsondvd.com had an article on the season 3 dvd and season 4 on TV http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Battlesta...ay-Reasons/8336 Looks like both are due April of next year.

higher prices in international markets could be explained by adding increased distribution costs due to duties on the import of the products, as well as additional marketing and localization costs for each market. Also, I believe sometimes 3rd party distributors are used for international publication, which could also drive up prices. Though honestly, I would think all that would result in more like a 5-10 dollar increase in price, not 20-30.

That's a great movie, although I have yet to find the original theatrical release on DVD -the only version I have is the darker version found on the Director's Cut edition DVD-... The new "Final Cut" version has the original theatrical cut, the international cut, the directors cut, and the new "Final Cut". If you get the big crazy version that comes in the suitcase, it also has a workprint version.

You also have to take into account localization costs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution costs, store markup, etc. I know the markup on video games isn't very much, but lets say the store gets 5 bucks out of every $50 game, that takes the profit down a million bucks, subtract manufacturing and distribution costs for those 200,000 copies, marketing costs, localization for non-english markets, and your profit is now a loss. Then again, as you said, 200,000 isn't a huge sales number.

The problem is I think that most of the time the Dev's already have their money, and most of that extra goes to the publisher.

I saw Beowulf last week on IMAX 3D. I had a permanent grin the entire time.

http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1002/pla...uide/index.html A guide on how to get divx and xvid etc. to work on your 360. Annoyed me that 99% of my video files wouldn't work on my xbox, but got this going in a few minutes and watched a couple downloaded episodes of Journeyman and season 4 of Reboot. It disables fast forward and skip, so I'd stick to just using the regular methods for watching wmv files, but this was a nice change from sitting at my computer chair to watch this stuff.

I think she has 3 endings. At least I've gotten two that werent' that one. One where she's a crappy leader and isn't able to do jack crap, and another where she's a beacon of hope then gets thrashed by Rammaq and lives the rest of her days as a mute because all her siblings were killed.

I remember that. I bet he's having a nice helping of crow right now.

I know my big thing about paperback/hardcover is usually price. I just can't justify paying 30-40 bucks for a book. But when its something I really like, I would pass on the hardcover if its part of a series that I have the rest in paperback. It just looks bad on the bookshelf. My Wheel of Time stuff is like that. I have book 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 in paperback, 2 in Trade Paperback, and 8 in Hardcover, and it looks retarded on the shelf.

Well, it is the spoiler forum.

What I said I'd like to see for another XP on the bioware boards would be something set in Acherome or Maztica, where you start out working for a settling expedition starting a new settlement. Then after the initial beginning quests, the settlement is established, blah blah event happens, you're in charge. And from then on its mostly a giant crossroads keep type thing, only with WAY more options. Based on who you recruit or what your decide to build your settlement develops differently opening new quests and such. You could develop it as a rich merchant port, seedy pirate port, heavily defended fort town, haven for scholars, or a mix of the bunch. It would be largely non-linear with basically just a whole lot of 1-2 hour storylines with a more central story being evident at the beginning and the end. Anyway, yeah. I hope future XPs start a new storyline rather than following your character from NWN2/MotB

It might be my rookie playstyle again, but I find Free Religion isn't that great in the early game. The building or XP benefits of Organized or Theocracy help in your expansion, then you can switch later for the happiness boost when you simply need to maintain your empire. (I tend not to wage war too much later)

I love 80s metal, does that count? Also, never been high.
