Glad to know that I'm not the only one that did that. "

**** that guy I really liked Aerie and Viconia, too. It's odd, because I know a lot of people who really hate Aerie (or rather, the fact that she's always so doe-eyed and innocent) The only people I didn't like in BG2 were Edwin and that Bloodaxe dwarf guy. As far as BG1 went, they were all just sets of stats to me Khalid was never, ever in my party. 15 strength on a fighter? That's even more stupid than a mid-level intelligence on a mage (ie Aerie) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At least Aerie had an excuse in that she was only part mage. Although to be honest the only stat that really mattered was consitution. High Strength isn't important if you have the bag of holding or extra party members. High Dexterity gives you a few extra AC, but you'll still end up getting hit anyway. High Intelligence/Wisdom gets you a few extra low level spells. High Charisma gets you better prices in stores, but you get an 18 charisma ring two steps from the starting dungeon. It's not like NWN where casters require high intelligence, or fighters need a high dex to effectively dual wield.

That's Newegg's extended warranty. The standard manufacturer's warranty is always applicable at no additional cost. In general, it's always a good idea to check prices at Newegg, MonarchComputer, ZipZoomFly etc. Newegg is really, really fantastic, not only in terms of their prices but also for their service, returns, etc. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Newegg is also worthless if you live outside of the US.

48 shots on Auld and only one actually went in, although judging by the highlight reel, Auld has some pretty nice defenders around him. There were 3 or 4 shots that I saw on the highlights where it got past Auld, but one of the Panthers defenders managed to stop it from going in the net.

Good thing we only have 15k members. That's only 41 per day. "

I remember that there was also a separate Imoen Relationship mod that was being written by at least partially by Quitch. Quitch was/is involved in Ascension and was the main writer for Return to Windspear. Unfortunately I can't find anything about it anymore.

Not-so-subtle hint? I don't know what you're talking about. " Thanks for birthday wishes guys, but I don't think there will be any indulging in beer and cheap porno tonight. You'll all have to have an extra one for me. "

I've tried playing it a few times, and the controls kill me. I'm told you can map them, I don't think you can. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The controls really bugged me a first, but after a little while I stopped noticing.

I just started playing Grim Fandango for the first time.

I have an album that my uncle gave me when I was 7 or so. He had given me dozens of cards in it as well, all organized, although I'm not sure how they were organized. I ended up starting to re-organize them myself, but gave up after the first two pages. Got a couple Messier cards and a few Gretzky cards as well. None of them really good ones, but still.

So little happening hockey wise that I went through and organized my hockey card collection. I didn't realize it had been so long since I had bought any. The newest card that I have is a 96-97 Patrick Roy card, yet it's odd because I don't have any others from that season, yet I can't recall ever buying a card outside of a pack. Looking through them all now, I can honestly say that I have no idea who 90% of the players are.

It's odd, about 80% of the people that I know in real life, have birthdays in October. Myself included. And Happy Birthday Drabek!

So you want the cylons to just wipe out all the humans on they have? We could still have another season with the remaining humans in the fleet. "

Don't worry about it. You didn't really spoil it that much to be honest and I think most of those that haven't seen it yet have just avoided this thread till they do see it. LadyCrimson: You'll be glad to know you weren't the only one having trouble staying awake. I managed to keep awake by flipping back to the hockey games during commercial. My dad, who was watching it with me, however, fell asleep on the couch beside the dog. Not sure what it was about this episode but it was just missing that "something" to keep it going. Hopefully it will pick up a little next week. :ph34r:

Three shots off the post in a row in the Montreal-Toronto shootout tonight, before Ryder beats Raycroft with a wrist shot that, get this, goes in off the post. I'm not sure how to describe seeing so many shots go off the post in a row...

Went out and saw "The Departed" earlier today. I found it to be quite entertaining. Anyone else seen it yet?

Some of us Canadian fans haven't seen the season primiere yet. It airs on Saturdays up here instead of on Fridays.

Looks like Sykora is working well for you guys. That's his second goal tonight. :D

Ugh... 5-0 so far. <_< At least I still have the Edmonton game to look forward too.

Interesting, something is obviously going wrong tonight if both Vancouver and Toronto are winning. Toronto just went up 3-0 on the Sens. Patrick Eaves is also out of the Sens line-up right now. That's two injuries in two games. So what does this all mean for the Edmonton/Calgary game later?

Hey Mkreku! Will that do for an honest attempt? Shorthanded goal...

Yeah, the TSN commentators were saying that Ottawa faced Toronto 4 times this month. I couldn't help but think how crappy a season start that will make. "

Maybe impulse is the wrong word. I don't go in and just pick up anything off the shelf because it looks cool, however I don't really plan most of my purchases either. I will walk in and if there is something that that I know that I will like (from having played earlier games in a series/based on opinions of those I trust) I will then pick it up.

Most of my game purchases are impulse buys so I never preorder. I have made one exception in the past and that was when I put down a pre-order on Civilization 4 Special Edition. That one arrived a day early. Well worth it in that case.

I moved on after completing Mechwarrior 3 to Mechwarrior 4: Mercs. I managed to place first in the Grand Championship on Solaris, but I'm currently stuck on one mission where I have to stealthily scan several buildings without alerting the enemy to my presence. Tried to play the mission with an Assault mech and just blast my way through, but that's even harder.
