I second this. Actually, only partially. See, I was laughing my head off while actually watching it, but afterwards ideas and images kept creeping into my head and it kept me up the whole night. I agree, it worked very well. They remade it about a dozen times each time it got worse and had a bigger budget. The American version wasn't even the worst one. Maybe when you don't have any money you are forced to sit down and figure out how to make a scratching noise the most scary thing in the world. Agreed as well. The ending is basically terrible too, no happy resolution that makes all western horror flicks so easy to walk away from.

I had my taxes done on January 31st, but one of my deductions (The teacher credit) means they won't process it until February 14th. It's like $5000, so I'm really waiting impatiently for it. We are also moving in a couple weeks, so it is much needed right now. I've also started the process to short sale my condo. I'll post details on that later.

I've always preferred Dr. Doom myself. But that's because he's got a castle, yo.

It's really adorable how seriously they take the Winter Olympics. That's why we don't have the heart to tell them that they aren't real.

No, I was only talking about real countries.

History has not looked kindly upon Joe Kennedy. He has a very negative reputation in the US.

Since we have been talking about Prince

Who dissed Prince? I agree he is a living god.

Monty is on a bit of a tear today. I probably needed to expand on my post a bit, but I just didn't have the time. It was not meant to come across as taking a moral high ground. I'd also say anti-British sentiment is about as low as it has ever been in the US right now. Heck, just look at the popularity of Ricky Gervais and Simon Cowell. They make a living insulting Americans and we love them for it. Politically I can't think of a country that the US has a closer relationship with. Canada doesn't count.

I really don't think the US would have. The whole not negotiating with terrorists thing is taken pretty seriously by the US government. Not that I think it is always the best policy, but in this case it would have been appropriate.

Star Wars Galaxies had its charms. The non-combat options in the game were fairly expansive. You could set up your own stores, create entire towns. I played for a few months and managed to get a full set of stormtrooper armor and a little house to decorate. It was pretty fun running around as a stormtrooper doing errands for Darth Vader. They even implemented a language system, where you had to learn wookie in order to understand what those players were saying. It was laso nice that there was no traditional leveling system, although you still grinded stuff.

Apparently Prince is constantly recording stuff and then locking it in a vault. Not to sound morbid, but it will be interesting to see if it all gets released after he dies. Happy Birthday Nepenthe! 30 is when everything started to break down physically for me. Enjoy

That was the worst halftime show I've ever seen. They made the Cryptkeeper like Who show from last year look great. Nothing beats Prince tearing it up on his purple guitar in the rain. The only way that one will ever be outdone is if Hendrix comes back from the dead.

Just don't take her back Joe. I'm not saying once a cheater, always a cheater, but that trust is broken and is never going to be as strong as it needs to be.

Does it really? Is that the deciding factor here? Are there a bunch of guys on the fence who are going to now run to pre-order the game because it has fellatio? Maybe there are, I guess I am disconnected.

Great, Bioware is turning into the video game version of Porky's.

I know what you mean, I'm going to have to move in a couple weeks. We have so much crap now. I remember in college, I could move in about an hour and fit everything in my regular car. I'm probably going to take about a week to do it all.

I could never imagine spending money on the cosmetic outfits and weapons DLC. I don't really consider that content. I might put a few bucks down for some extra quests, I did enjoy the Shadow Broker one I bought for ME2, but weapons, particularly in a single player game, seem like silly DLC.

What cache are you talking about? I'm not really a fanboy of DLC, I just find some of the complaints about it completely nonsensical. I thought it was badly implemented in DA, particularly that freeloader in my camp who asked for my credit card number. That deserved complaint, and I'm guessing Bioware will find a better way to handle it in the future. Whether we like it or not, DLC is going to be a part of the future for the gaming industry. As consumers we can help guide it in the right direction, but seeing conspiracies and boogie men in every development choice is a good way to not be taken seriously.

Not to speak for Joe, but I doubt there was a specific reason. My wife and I have arguments where I get so angry I end up slamming my fists down on counters. Sometimes I literally shake with rage. Now I've never really been close to hitting her, I don't think I could ever forgive myself if I did that, but I imagine very few married couples don't hit that frustration level at times. The crazy part is the actual point of the argument is rarely as important as the total breakdown of reasonable communication skills.

The point is the inventory change was a design decision, not something held back to sell later as dlc.

What are you talking about? ME2 didn't need an inventory system. They simplified the entire system. Thank goodness they did, the inventory system in ME1 was an utter wreck. Do you understand that this is a personal preference, rather than cut content? Also, Bio has not released any DLC that changes the way the inventory system works, at least not to my knowledge. Are you referring to the release of DLC weapons packs? Who the heck cares that the game didn't ship with 20 different types of shotguns?

King Aurthur is a lot like like the TW games, just with a bit more fantasy. I'd get it, $3 isn't much of a gamble. I have it, haven't gotten too into it, but it seemed a solid game.

The inventory. I've seen some games offer extra inventory space or options as DLC (namely MMO's) but not offering any inventory system? Has that happened? Developers aren't going to do anything that would significantly impact their initial sales, so lets drop the hyperbole.

A car stereo may be standard in most cars (although it hasn't always been) but if you want a fancy stereo, you pay extra. We can do this ad nauseum, if you'd like.
