What you did today
Had a nice game of hockey tonight, I got to play defense. I rarely get to do that, it really gives me the opportunity to see the entire ice and make some nice long rushes. Now I've got to try and get to sleep so I will be ready to get back to work tomorrow, it's been a nice long week off.

Movies you've seen recently
It became trendy to hate on M Night Shamylan a few years back. I think it's just because Sixth Sense was insanely good, and it is hard to live up to that every time out. I thought The Village was one of his better films. Just don't watch the Mark Wahlberg one, that one was better off not happening.

Republican Candidates
The more people hear Santorum speak and learn about him, the quicker he will lose his momentum. He is basically being sustained by the fact he is the new girl at the party and everyone is tired of sleeping with Romney. In this scenario, Newt is the ugly girl that other girls hang out with to make themselves look better.

It's going to be interesting to go from the War on Drugs, to the War on Terror, to the War on Porn.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!
I wouldn't really call Diablo 3 a single player game. That being said, I agree the differences between the two franchises are enough where I doubt they have a huge overlap in audiences. I also wouldn't call the original Guild Wars an MMO, but with GW2 I believe they are opening up adventure areas to the full population, rather than just instances for parties.

The New Classics
I keep going back to Minecraft, and that was just released.

The New Classics
So next year will that be 2004? I thought this last year was one of the best I've ever had for games. So many of them convinced me to call in sick for work. So I think a lot of the 2011 crop will be on the list, but I do like to give them a bit more time to see if they have long term legs. Off the cuff, I think Deus Ex: Human Revolution deserves the title.

The NHL Thread
Agreed about Nash being unmovable as is, but I've been surprised before. My feeling is the Sharks won't make a splash, they just don't have any pieces to trade away realistically.

Who is this Afghan you are speaking of?

A better comparison here in terms of burning is the bible, rather than flags. I doubt burning an Afghani flag would get this type of attention, actually.

The NHL Thread
I could never wish this type of injury on a player, no matter how dirty. However it brings up a good argument about a play style that I think needs to be addressed in hockey. You've got Crosby out, guys like Pronger and Primeau suffering long term, and a few enforcers that died over the summer. Every year in the playoffs, the Sharks take some heat because their star players don't sacrifice themselves enough. But I'd rather them protect themselves than win the cup any day.

SW: The Old Republic Part 3
Sometimes, but you can't beat the story. It's not all that great when I gain levels anymore, but the kids get all sorts of cool new abilities as they level.

How did you not set your questions? It asks me my security questions all the time, but I log in from a few different computers. If it is just one question you can't remember, resetting the password will bring up a new one. Otherwise you need to contact customer support.

SW: The Old Republic Part 3
For every quest I do in game, I have real world ones that need finishing too, like changing diapers, rescuing kids trapped under furniture, and preparing meals. So while I may be logged in for an hour or two a day, I really only am able to give it a fraction of my attention. So yeah, if I finish a quest a day, I'm feeling pretty good To be honest this is the fastest I've ever leveled in an MMO. But I think that has more to do with TOR having a very fast curve compared to most MMO's on initial release.

I've still got at least a month or two, I hit 37 today but my pace has slowed considerably. Of course I really don't want to hit it too soon either.

The graphics are serviceable, it just isn't stylized enough for my tastes. As I said, they seem rather generic with a strong dose of bloom. Unfortunately the story also seems rather generic. I played the original a fair amount, and I never found the storyline particularly engaging. I noticed they went with a bit of a steampunk vibe this time around, but again it still seems rather...generic. That's really the only way I can describe it, I guess.

It can depend a lot on the server, you tend to have a dedicated PvP core and if they are a decent sort, it helps all around.
