I keep hearing how good Farscape is. Maybe I should download the first couple eps considering the only DVDs for it I ever find is like season 2 volume 4 or something stupid like that.

NHL is back
Did you miss the part where it said that Vancouver has never won the cup? According to the Wikipedia article they've been around since 1945. That beats Toronto's record of 40 years by 20 years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Vancouver Millionaires won the cup way the hell back in 1915 before the NHL was even formed, but yeah, we've never won the cup in the NHL.

NHL is back
I'm hoping for a Vancouver/Calgary conference final with the 'Nucks winning in double OT of game 7. Vancouver needs to win the cup. I think they're the oldest team to never win a cup. They need better defence and goaltending though. Trading Sopel only weakens their defense so I hope they have their eyes on someone decent to replace him. As for goaltending, Cloutier is good, he's just not consistent. What they needed to do is ditch Cloutier and grab some ace goaltender who's almost ready to retire and have him mentor Auld. Auld's got potential. Though its not as fun to say as Cloutier. Speaking of double OT, does the new shootout rule affect the playoffs or will it still go to multiple overtimes?

Canada provokes the Kingdom of Denmark!
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto.../International/ The Danes are sending a warship! It may or may not get there, depending on the ice. We should respond by sending one of our submarines. We can surface by melting the ice using the heat from the electrical fires.

Also, I wasn't a fan of Buffy or Angel either. I just mostly like the universe he created and the entertaining characters.

Fallout 3
If you believe it will be a total disaster and it is, you won't be disappointed. If you believe it will be a total disaster and it isn't, then you're pleasantly surprised. Win/Win situation.

Nothing wrong with being upset that it was cancelled. I never saw the show until I bought it on DVD but after seeing the first couple episodes I was upset that it was cancelled. Its my all time favorite TV show, and I never even saw it on TV.

Cyber name generator
Mine is kinda lame... I like this one though.

What games are using the Eberron Setting?
I believe its a world where magic is so common that its not just saved for the elite. Consumer goods are made with it and various technology has emerged from it, such as a high speed train that rides a bolt of lightning. At least thats what I've heard. Theres also a playable race of sentient constructs.

Canada provokes the Kingdom of Denmark!
The best part about this whole thing is the whole Canada: Its ours... see we landed on it and built a rock person and planted a flag! Denmark: WHAT! But we already made a pile of rocks and planted TWO flags! Thats it, I'm writing a stern letter of protest Its just plain silly.

Magic The Gathering
You'd be amazed how affective an all black monocolored deck is. It takes something very specialized to kill it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had an all red goblin deck that was pretty devastating. When I had my 9/9 mountainwalk Mons Goblin Raiders and Goblin Warrens tokens, and some enchantment that made all lands act as mountains as well as their standard land type, people got angry.

Magic The Gathering
Now this is a game, which a programmer really messed up. All and all it was a great game. As you play it, the speed of MTG depends on the processor. Since I now have a 2.6GHtz system, I probally could not keep up with the game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whosa whatsit? What does a processor have to do with a card game? EDIT: Oh right... forgot there was a computer version. But then it's turn based... so what does speed have to do with anything?

I still hope the Penguins move to Winnepeg like was rumored not too long ago. The Jets need a comeback.

What music are you listening to right now?
Right now I have no idea what I'm listening to. I'm streaming one of Warren Ellis' Superburst Mixtapes of random mp3s he finds on the internet. Some of it is crap, some of it is awsome, and its all wierd. www.warrenellis.com, little music player thingy on the right.

Serenity trailer (aka the Firefly movie)
I didn't like Buffy, but after the first season, I really started liking Angel. I saw two episodes of Firefly and bought the one and only season from Amazon. Awesome. That and Lexx are the only sci-fi series I could be bothered to buy on DVD. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I got a $25 gift certificate to HMV when I signed up for my cell phone, and I just happened to go in when they were offering the firefly season for like 22.99. Regular price 47.99, otherwise I never would have bought it. I thank HMV for having their erratic prices now. They're wierd, they have horrendously high prices for most of their stuff, but then you find the odd thing thats like 5-30 bucks cheaper than everywhere else. I bought the Godfather collection for 35 bucks when the next cheapest was Wal-Mart at $55.

Empire at War
Wow... its about time someone did an RTS to scale. I'm very impressed with the graphical side of it. Hopefully it will live up to what it says it will do gameplay wise. If so, it could be one of the best RTS' of all time.

Serenity trailer (aka the Firefly movie)
I wasn't a fan of Buffy or Angel either, but Firefly is possibly my favorite show of all time. But I haven't seen much Battlestar Galactica or Dr Who.
