  1. MCA and Josh, after that they can choose their own team, only requirements are that it has to be and RPG, and has to be Steampunk, or at least contain heavy steampunk elements. It should also have a town of some sort that the player can build on throughout the game. Something to spend his/her money on and such. Should be as big of a game as BG2.
  2. When I read the thread title the first band to come to mind was U2... which wasn't on that list. I totally agree with Audioslave and Coldplay though.

    Yeah, I just read Birthright and Red Son recently. Both were quite good. From what I hear, Xavier's disappearance after House of M will be explained in an upcoming event called Onslaught Reborn.
  4. Please. Name 5. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, Hulk and Punisher are two... I'm not sure, but I think Daredevil was another.
  5. New motherboard with PCI-E, since mine doesn't have it.
  6. don't you like, need to know C to script?
  7. Wow... that slideshow was really.... uninteresting.

    Ok, just looked it up. Wow... I was WAY off. We supply more like 20%, with Venezuela and Mexico in 2nd and 3rd place with around 16 and 13. I need to learn to actually look this stuff up before posting instead of just relying on stuff I've heard. We're still the top source of imported oil to the US, which I doubt many extremist conservatives realize when they talk about how useless canada is to the US.

    If I remember right, the US gets something like 60-70% of its oil from Canada.
  10. Playing Suikoden 5 right now. It was a little slow to get started, and they went and changed the GUI so its not as easy to use, but its better than 4 and 1, and could possibly be better than 3, but I'll have to beat it before making that decision. I think one of the better things about the Suikoden series is how they make the conflict you're swept up in more important than your character's problems. 4 made your character more important than the conflict, and so you just got this "so why am I doing this now?" kind of feeling throughout the game. 5 was like Konami saying "Gee, we screwed up with 4, so lets fix it." so they brought back 6 character combat, skills, a good character artist, and continued the timeline from the first 3. (The prequel was a bad idea.) So they basically made up for their blunders in 4.
  11. bought Suikoden V the other day, so I can that that off my list. So far its better than IV. They brought back skills and 6 person combat parties. They even added combat formations which gives some bonuses. The GUI is crap though, and its a little slow to get going. Suikoden 2 is still the best so far, with 3 coming in 2nd.
  12. Raph Koster looks like Ben from Short Circuit. Also... why is the creator of Tetris on there? Sure he was hot **** when tetris came out but seriously, has he actually done anything other than tetris variations since then?

    thats like a word you shouldn't be able to trademark. Its like trademarking "Road" or "Bread"

    Ok, found the story... yeah, basically what has been said for the last year, it might happen, it might not. Its also a year old news story.

    Ok, Steve Norrington, Guillermo Del Toro, or David Goyer? Also, if they've confirmed it, why isn't it on SuperHeroHype? I know David Goyer and Ryan Reynolds were talking about it while filming Blade Trinity, but then David got the Flash gig and decided to use Ryan as Wally West. Ryan reportedly said he was really interested in playing Deadpool, but that he pretty much played him in Blade Trinity only without the costume and powers. Speaking of Deadpool, they just introduced him in Ultimate Spider-Man. I like his regular marvel costume a lot better. But we haven't got a good look at him yet. EDIT: Oh wait... wikipedia has one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0...atedeadpool.jpg Still like his normal costume.
  16. Just because you're getting paid minimum wage doesn't mean you should be treated like crap. I wouldn't mind being treated like crap if I was getting paid 40 bucks an hour, because I could think to myself "Well, at least I can go home to my giant home theater system". But not when I'm getting paid barely enough to pay rent. Its pretty bad when the managers find more and more ways to screw around their underlings just so they can get a bigger bonus check. Where I work for instance we used to have a really good manager, everyone was getting good hours, we had pretty much the same schedule every week, we had enough staff scheduled to handle the workload without exhausting everyone, it was a great work environment. Then she got promoted. So the new manager came in, decided the store was paying too much in labour, so she cut one person from each shift. So now we have 3 people handing 4 people's workloads every shift, plus the manager keeps coming to get one of the staff members to go do other stuff for her, taking away from our already short staff, plus she totally screwed up the schedule so now its different every week without needing to be. (I used to work 11:30-6:30 M-F. Now its different every week.) And its really hard to find good workers. Since I started we've gone through about 20 new staff members, 3 of which are still there, the rest either quit within the first 2-3 days, or were fired for being horrible workers. So I don't understand why managers would treat the employees who are actually good enough to stay so badly since its so hard to find decent replacements.
  17. http://www.beyondrobson.com/city/2006/02/mutiny_at_the_cafe/ I know stuff like this has probably happened before, but making it so public is awesome. I myself have a crappy manager, so this is even more awesome.
  18. After a quick google search, it looks like maybe it won't be so bad to upgrade my MoBo. 500 bucks will get me one with dual xeon compatibility, 4 PCI-E slots, and 16 GB of potential RAM capability... Maybe with my Tax refund I should get one of those and a new GPU.
  19. My computer is still pretty good for being 4 years old. Dual 2.4 GHz, 2 gigs of ram, 160 GB hard drive space. Haven't even thought about an upgrade until I found out NWN2 will require shader model 2. My wimpy little Ti4600 just doesn't cut it, though it could run most games at full specs up until a few months ago.
  20. There is only one thing HD-DVD has over Blu-Ray. Cheaper players. That advantage will be gone once the PS3 is released. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With a $900 price tag, yeppie. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe $900 in new zealand dollars. All signs point to $400-$500 At least if they have any desire to compete with Nintendo and Microsoft.
  21. Bought it 4 years ago before PCI-E. It has a PCI-X slot and we were wondering what the hell it was. Then PCI-X came out like a year later, lasted about 2 weeks, then PCI-E came out. I was building a computer to do 3d graphics on. So I needed a motherboard that could take 2 Intel Xeon processors. This was the cheapest one that did what I wanted.
  22. Dual processor motherboards = too expensive to upgrade. My motherboard cost me 1200 bucks. Not likely going to be upgrading that anytime soon. AGP will have to serve me for a little longer.
