X3... Xmen
I knew about the deaths, they're still stupid. The 2nd spoiler is wicked cool. Been waiting for that.

X3... Xmen
They screwed up Colossus in this one. The way they did him in X2 translated way better to the screen than the way they do him in X3. The whole smooth chrome look is hard to look at, but the organic steel muscles from the 2nd one looked wicked cool. In Ultimate X-Men Northstar and Colossus are an item, and after Colossus came out of the closet now Nightcrawler treats him like he's some sort of inhuman monster

I hate Sony BMG
From what I hear its a stupid complicated process that really doesn't need to be stupid complicated. You have to like email them a request for the removal tool, then they'll email you back to confirm, then they'll send you a unique download link thats only active for 48 hours or something stupid and I think the file is encrypted or some dumb thing like that. They don't want to make it easy to fix their mistakes.

NWN 2 DM Client will not ship with the game
I play the official campaign and any cool looking or highly rated single player modules. I also like to fiddle around with the toolset. Multiplayer doesn't interest me, so they could just cut the DM client alltogether and I wouldn't notice.

Realtek audio
I think if it has onboard sound, the drivers would be included with the basic motherboard drivers and wouldn't have stand alone audio drivers.

E3 News: Sony Conference later today
Finally have a price. for 500 bucks I'll get it just as a cheap blu-ray player. The games will be a bonus. I wonder if it will take normal hard drives. If so you could just get the 20 gig one, then buy an 80 gig hard drive for 50 bucks.

I thought it was kind of cool. I told my roommate about it and he was like "Yeah I know." And I'm thinking "Wow... he knew about it before they showed it for the first time. And he doesn't follow consoles" He so full of ....

That won't sell. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If that was gameplay footage, I thought it looked fun. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But wouldn't it be more fun with a female character. ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Personally, when the demo started, I was hoping for pirates, what with all the jungle and skulls and talk of buried treasure.

Yeah, slightly disappointing, as its just GT4 with better resolution. He's using the PS2 one... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well thats reassuring then. Because I hate wireless, and was hoping I could just use my PS2 controllers.

Comics
Which run did you read? You have to start in Stormwatch, its where the book got its start. Read Warren Ellis' entire run on Stormwatch, then the first two trades of The Authority. The Ellis/Hitch run was vastly superior to the Miller/Quitely run. And not just because Bryan Hitch is a good artist and someone should go back in time to kill Frank Quitely before he could ever put a pencil to paper. The Authority was I believe the first group of heroes to be proactive rather than responsive. The whole point behind them was that most superheroes were basically bandages to the problem. Some villain would launch an attack, and they'd respond. The Authority decided to be a cure rather than a bandage. If a villain kept causing problems, they'd kill him. If it was a whole country causing problems, they'd kill the whole government and keep watch on the country until it got back in shape. I believe at one point they actually took over the US believing a Regime Change would help fix their meddling ways.

AIM keeps signing me off...
AIM is possibly the worst of all the IM software out there. Oh how I long for the good old days of ICQ before AOL made it suck.

If USA & Canada gave the land back to the Indians-
The way I see it, its not our fault if they sold their land for alcohol and beads 150 years ago, so why should we give it back because their ancestors were stupid?

Civ IV: Warlords
Yeah, not the choice I would have made but nevermind, and I'm disappointed at no native american civ. Unique buildings though, woo. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The unique buildings sound neat. And I'm really looking forward to the Vassal State option. glad they added civ specific city graphics too.

Is Canadian health care really free?
Canada doesn't really have free health care, its just that its more of a convienience thing. Basically, everyone has health insurance through the government. Some provinces charge a monthly premium for this coverage, such as BC, where my mom was paying 30 bucks a month to cover her, my dad, me, my brother, and my sister. Your premium is based on income. If you make less than 18k per year, you don't pay for your health care. And I think canadians tend to have higher life expectency and general health than americans because Canadians can think "Hrmm, I don't feel well, better go to the doctor to get checked" and they can go to the doctor, get checked over, and not get a bill in the mail for 150 bucks in a week. One example why I'd hate to live under the US system: My girlfriend. A couple years ago she was diagnosed with MS. How this came about was that her limbs were going numb. Once she was unable to turn a doorknob she went to the doctor. They diagnosed her with an anxiety attack and prescribed her some xanax. Now, she had to pay for the Xanax, which did absolutely nothing. She also got charged 180 bucks for the doctor visit. So after a week of taking the xanax and getting worse she went to another doctor. Another $180 fee. They diagnosed her with MS but sent her to a neurologist to make sure. The neurologist cost her $2000 and wouldn't return her phone calls. So now she's $2400 in the hole just so people could tell her what she had. That doesn't even include treatment. Now, if she had been a Canadian citizen, at her current income, that would have cost her approximately $0, instead of $2400
