7% scored higher (more nerdy), and 93% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: Supreme Nerd. Apply for a professorship at MIT now!!!.

I liked the Blade II one where at the beginning Guillermo Del Toro is like "If you're wondering why some fat mexican **** is talking to you instead of you hearing the movie, you're on the wrong audio track"

Nothing beats my Jubei Kibagami action figure that came with my Ninja Scroll : The Series tin box. ^_^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dunno... I got a Snake Eyes figure with my GI Joe original miniseries box. Bodymassage.

Yeah, I'm a collector. I need those special features to justify the $25 purchase price of the DVD.

Evolution has more evidence to support it than Gravity. Yet fundamentalists have no problem with Gravity. People need to understand that Evolution and Abiogenesis are different.

Oooh, me! Me! I love answering questions.

Well... I was thinking it was going ok until the vampire episode. Theres the possibility for some interesting stories with Brainiac in there now. I am getting tired of the whole "I can't tell Lana, she'll think I'm a freak and hate me forever" crap Clark keeps spouting, even though whenever one of his friends finds out they're totally cool about it. Even Lex for that one episode he knew about it. He just needs to bite the bullet and tell her so we can stop groaning at her bitching about his secrets and his moaning about how its so hard keeping secrets from her. Anyway, who do you think should be the next DC universe cameo? I'm surprised they haven't even mentioned Bruce Wayne. It would be easy enough to just slip in a couple references to Wayne Enterprises.

Sure, they can be really good sometime. The director commentaries on the Lord of the Rings extended editions are really good. Haven't listened to the cast commentaries for the 2nd and 3rd yet, but the one for Fellowship was a lot of fun.

Shows I currently watch: Lost, Smallville, BG, Rome, and House. So I dunno.

I've known of two riots in Vancouver. When we lost the Stanley Cup finals, and when Axl Rose didn't show up for the Guns and Roses concert.

I use a similar program for my MP3 player... its called Windows Explorer.

That anakin costume is way too good to be homemade. And thats one tough looking Space Ghost. Needs the cape though.

I'm kinda glad the rights returned to WB just as WB started to realize that if you treat your properties with respect, they turn out better.

His comments about Watchmen were promising. He said that Hayter's script was as close to the comic as he believes a movie can be. Though he also said he wouldn't be seeing it. He says Watchmen, like all his works, are meant to be read curled up in a chair next to the fire with a cup of hot chocolate, not watched on a screen. W is 3 syllables. You lose.

How much did you snag Suikoden II for? I was pretty lucky and got my copy for like 60 bucks canadian on ebay a couple years ago, which at the time was pretty sweet since they were going for like 140 in some auctions.

One of the best things is being able to cause others to go to war, without going to war yourself. And the best thing about that... is that the AI uses that option. I was sitting there on my peaceful throne, not threatening everyone, being on bad terms with only two of the like 10 civs I was competing with, then BAM, Cyrus, who I had I think "Pleased" relations with at the time suddenly declares war on me. I guess someone paid him enough to do so.

I assume you're not talking about just doubleclicking on the city. Can you give us an example of what you're looking for? EDIT: I just realized that I screwed myself over in my game. I didn't expand enough to hem in the two people on my sides with my cutural borders, so they decided to move in and take the arctic land north of me. I didn't expand as much because I figured that I would be able to get a settler to the other continent on the map and have it all to myself. I didn't realize just how far along ocean going vessels are in the tech tree. I'm at 1600AD and I'm still about 50 years from getting ocean going vessels. EDIT2: If you were talking about a city view like this then it's just zoomed in all the way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I meant like this: http://civilization4.net/files/gallery/051...2_screen002.jpg But it turns out thats just a screenshot of the cultural victory video. But yeah, I'm talking about the Civ IV equivalent of this: http://files.mrfixitonline.com/s/1/c3-cityview.jpg

If anywhere it would be in the off topic forum, where this thread should be. But they don't allow advertising, so you could probably post it in the favorite book thread.

The problem is that most of the stuff that sounded awesome about Jefferson had nothing to do with the story and was all engine stuff, such as the epithets and such. Anyway, if NWN2 is as big a success as we all hope, maybe they'll be able to secure BG3 after they're done with their own IP.

Does anyone know how to get to the city view? I've seen screenshots of it but don't know how to access it. I'm talking the big picture of your city, not where it displays what parts of the land are worked and such.

You mean it actually just sits there calculating moves and so on? I don't see any reason why this should take longer than it did with Civ3, unless the AI has been dramatically improved. With Civ3 most of the time was taken with animating opponents' moves, and you could turn that off or switch out of the window while it was doing it. That's a thought - does Civ4 continue to play through opponents' moves when you Ctrl+Esc or whatever and do something else? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know what it does. Because I think turns are somewhat simultaneous, its just that the AI is faster than you so they tend to finish everything they're doing first. War was hell because I'd do all my moves, then hit next turn and it would just sit there for a good 1-2 minutes. Sometimes I'd hear another civ's music meaning another civ was trying to talk to me, but it would just hang for a few minutes before it finally started up. Enemy/Friendly moves are turned off by default. On a positive note: The alarm function is really handy.

The lag didn't bother me at the beginning, but once you get later in the game and it takes like a minute and a half between hitting the end turn button and the game starting the next turn. The first few times I thought the game had crashed.

They'd probably be put in some sort of situation where Book comes up, and through investigation and flashbacks they'd find out.

Instead of shootouts they should have just gone with playoff style overtime. Multiple overtimes are generally more exciting than the regular periods since any action near the net could mean the end of the game so its all edge of your seat no matter how long it goes. At least in my experience.

Does anyone else think thats crap?
