Deraldin

$20! As long as it still works!

Not to interrupt this fascinating discussion about gnomes (personally, I can't stand them) but...

I don't normally play this many games at once, but in the past 2 weeks I've picked up 7 games. Thankfully none of them was over $30 because of gift cards. On Thursday I have a copy of No More Heroes coming to me and I've just barely been able to hold the urge to buy Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn at bay.

You keep telling yourself that. Did you catch the game Kor? 5-0 win for the Oil. :D

I've got that beaten. I currently (all have been played in the last 48 hours) have games going in Super Mario Galaxy (61 stars and counting) Zack and Wiki (Just picked this up today) Command and Conquer 3 (Installed it again for my little brother and decided to take another run through myself) Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (On the last mission of the campaign. I absolutely hate AOE attacks) Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations (Also purchased today) Z&W and PW:T&T both had recent price drops so I figured now was as good a time as any to pick them up. :D

Oh god. I can hear the song playing in my head even after all these years...

Hey you got the win tonight.

Which Croatia mission were you having trouble with? If I had to guess I'd say the low power base defence mission. I just re-installed the game for my brother to play and I'm considering another run. That level is supposedly easy if you constantly unpower everything you don't need and repower them as needed, like anti-air systems for instance. And anyway, GDI is better off using missile squads and pitbulls for anti-air, their emplacement turrets are abysmal compared to Nod's. Pretty much. It's even easier if you destroy the northeast base early on before they really start attack you. If you manage that then you can power down the northern turrets and keep everything else on.

It's really not that bad. I know something that will make you feel much better about your computer. Take a look. Also, if you don't want something that will be obsolete in 6-9 months then why are you planning on buying a computer? Wow, I feel better already! Well, I like to think that my above mentioned pc actually did quite well for a number of years (about 4.5 years?). I would like my next investment to also last a bit. I told you it would work! Heh, mine will be 6 years old this October. It's run everything I've wanted it to until the past 6 months. Just because it's obsolete, doesn't mean that it doesn't work. :D

Would you prefer I had said "almost single-handedly"?

Aw, single-handedly beaten by Ovechkin. 5 point night for Ovechkin with 4 goals and 1 assist. Final score was 5-4 in overtime over Montreal. At least they managed to salvage a point from what was apparently a very poor game for the Habs. EDIT: Watching the TSN highlights it looks like the refs robbed the Leafs of a win tonight. Possible high stick goal by Carolina counted. Blake's goal just inside the post waved off...

*Casts summon Deraldin* *appears in a puff of smoke* Curse you Magister Lajciak for stealing my job!

I just got back from Uni. It's damn cold out there. I'm pretty sure that the weather channel lies. They say it's only -7 (Feels like -23 with the windchill) but I'm sure it felt colder than that. Waiting for the bus in a constant 60km/h freezing cold winds sucks.

For you co-op fans...

I suppose I shouldn't mention that it's +6 down here in Ontario today should I?

Found this comment on Bob McKenzie's blog and I just cracked up. It was so horrible, yet I couldn't help but laugh. :D

This thread needs to be renamed. Jack Thompson has no problem with Mass Effect

My little brother picked up Super Mario Galaxy last night with his Christmas gift cards. I've been playing that in between bouts of Advance Wars Days of Ruin. I've got 39 stars in Mario and I'm on the last campaign mission in Advance Wars.

Ouch. That has to suck.

Wow. Alfredsson just vaulted himself into first place in points overall. He had 7 points (3 goals, 4 assists) tonight against Tampa Bay, while Lecavalier was held off the score sheet. EDIT: TSN seems confused. 3 goals, 4 assists, but somehow he has 6 points tonight?

I'd be more excited if my computer wasn't so completely crappy. That card has more processing power than every item in my tower put together. I wonder how much longer we'll be getting AGP version of these cards.

What does this have to do with the Fox News story? I agree, the guy apologized and that's great, but the story is still hitting major news stations despite huge inaccuracies. I don't care if it's a liberal or a conservative, it's ridiculous that gaming is blamed for so many of societies woes, and it's insulting that they air these stories without a shred of evidence or research. well supposedly EA (I think) finially sent a nasty letter to Fox News requesting that Fox retract their story and state the facts. uhh...

Also since I didn't see any of you mention it, The so called expert has had her book rating one starred on Amazon.
