I can't believe theres an actual movie with Electric Boogaloo in the title.

<LAME>What? The only members of the Seekers were Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker. Unless you count Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust.</LAME>

Hrmm... My great Uncle owns half the radio stations on Vancouver Island, and I hung out with Bryan Singer once. Got to see Rebecca Romijin Stamos in her Mystique makeup talking about turning into men while she was banging her husbad. Thats about it though. Also, my Social Studies teacher taught Pamela Anderson.

I wasn't. All the movie posters have had the same look, why wouldn't game sequels art look like the predecessor?

I disagree. The Clone Wars cartoon is quite good IMO. But if they did one with more of a linear story type concept like Invasion America, I think it would be excellent.

I still think its odd that the 2nd plane to hit a tower wasn't shot down. They had plenty of time to get jets in the air before the 2nd plane got to new york airspace.

Big Bossman was a classic heel, with a cop gimmick. They pretty much destroyed him with the writing at the end of his career though. Tying ropes to coffins and dragging them behind a truck during the guys funeral. That was just plain stupid and tasteless.

We uh, are not using our, um, hurricane machines, er on Florida. That is all.

He co-wrote Jedi, because the guy who wrote Empire died after finishing the 1st draft of Jedi, so George went in and patched it up. The best one in the trilogy was the one he had the least involvement in.

There is a difference here though. Football and Basketball have soft caps that change depending on league revenues. Gary Betteman wanted a hard cap of 31 million dollars per team. Thats lower than the payroll of the Pittsburg Penguins. Which has the lowest payroll of all NHL teams. I'm not disputing that the players are paid too much. I'm just saying that negotiations are supposed to be compromises. The league is refusing to compromise. There are other options besides a hard cap, but they refuse to look at any of them. Also with the collusion point, its not like they're cheating the guy out of money. The owners set the market price for players, and if they all agree someone isn't worth more than 3 million, theres nothing wrong with that.

After doing a little looking at whats actually happening, I've changed my stance on the whole thing. The players were asked why they are dead set against a salary cap and their reason was roster stability. NHL rosters tend to be pretty stable year after year allowing fans to really get attached to the teams who generally have the same players for years. A salary cap would cause teams to juggle the players to meet the cap, trading expensive players for cheap ones and such. This is not a good thing. The players actually did propose a starting point for the negotiations, despite Gary Betteman saying otherwise. They proposed a 5% salary rollback, changes to the entry level system, a luxury tax on team salaries over 50 million, etc, all things that would save teams millions of dollars. This proposal was rejected flat out because it didn't include a salary cap. The way I'm seeing it, this is more the owners fault than the players. Sure you can say that the players are greedy for not just accepting the cap and taking the 50% pay cut or whatever, but come on, if the owners hadn't been paying them 8 million a year in the first place, it wouldn't have happened. Both sides need to compromise, and only one side is doing so. Your thoughts?

Gold.

To make up for it, just answer any questions the modding community has about file formats and such once the game is released. That should make up for it with PC people. Then we can see some custom heads and armor and such that the Xbox people will never get.

Well, since France and Britian were at war, they were banking on the French in the area to back them. The whole idea was a mistake. Hell, even the people in the boarder states were openly supporting the "Canadians" and British by selling them food. They prefered the "recently departed from office" Thomas Jeffersons way of doing things. As for repelling the invasion, to be fair, you guys did repel it......but they were sooooo confident that there would be uprising to support the war that they brought a loose band of poorly trained men (which pretty much sums up the army at the time) through some harsh terrain, and isn't that always the case with a route? Toronto wasn't called Toronto then tho, fyi. Sort of how you guys burned Buffalo, but it wasn't called Buffalo then. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hrmm, didn't know we burned buffalo either. Usually I research these things before I comment on them. That victory you guys had in New Orleans was pretty impressive. Killed 700 british and injured 1200 with only 13 deaths and whatever injured on your side. And yeah, I think I remember something about the people pushing for invasion of canada being mostly Irish immigrants, probably having a grudge against england stronger than normal americans.

I've only seen the movie, so I'm guessing either they portrayed it wrong in the movie, or theres more to it. I'm guessing theres more ways to become a citizen, its just that military service is the easiest. Kind of like the roman empire.

Yea, we torched Toronto. The ironic part is, instead of helping us against the British, you helped them..... only to have years of uprising and protests put down by the British till you finally got independece years later. an alligator and a pig? Sounds like it would be a short story..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The uprisings weren't much though. I think both rebellions were put down within hours of starting because no one took part in them. I mean, Canada was where all the people who didn't want to leave British rule went to during the american revolution, of course we weren't going to join the americans in kickign out the british, half our population was people who were kicked out of the US for supporting the british. The major rebellions started after we gained independance with the whole Riel thing. But all that did was create Manitoba. And nobody cares about Manitoba. Edit: Never knew you guys torched Toronto. Ya learn something new every day. Guess we can only be proud of repelling 3 US invasions now.

And what exactly does this mean? Are you talking an alternate fuel car. Or a car 'collage' from other cars. lol. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was a (bad , I thought Canadians were supposed to be funny. Remind me again why we havn't invaded you guys... ) joke suggesting his car was a hybrid because it's engine was a "hybrid" of parts from various cars. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You did invade us. 1812 remember. We repelled the invasion while the british burned down your capital. :D

I don't even know how to go about researching my lineage. I know I'm decended from one of the founding families of the Comox Valley in BC, Canada on my mom's side, further back from that no idea, as well as my dad's side no idea.

Damn you. I want a european car... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I want one of those nifty new Scion cars, the one with the flipout stereo console. It's the premiere car of science fiction enthusiasts dontcha know. At least....according to the commercials. It does look cool though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Those are the ones Toyota made after Honda beat the Echo for Ugliest Car when they brought out the Element right? Edit: Nevermind. Scion makes more than one car. I've only seen the commercial for this monstrosity:

Damn you. I want a european car...
