I've heard conflicting stuff on margerine versus butter.

I like your style. Throw in MLB '10 and you've got my last couple weeks of gaming. Have you done any of the Spring festival in LotRO? I started earning rep. for the Ale Association and then I found out what the vendors offered, at Friend and Kindred, and decided to stop wasting my time. I finally finished Volume 1 -- only took me a year but the white horse they give you is pretty cool. Now I feel like I can move on with the game and finish up Volume 2 into Mirkwood. I did the ale one way back in the day, but the little mini-games never interested me much. I want to finish up Volume 1 too, now that they made it solo friendly. I'm on Book 12, if I recall.

Sorry to hear that Wals. Get well soon. I'm also a bit slow on recovery. I played hockey yesterday and my leg is still not cooperating fully. It is humbling to be the worst player on the ice.

Western Conference: San Jose vs. Colorado - Of course I'm rooting for San Jose, but I do think this is a good match up for them. Colorado is young and will be lucky to win one. San Jose in 5. Chicago versus Nashville - The Preds always surprise me at their ability to get in the playoffs. But they've yet to surprise in the playoffs and Chicago should roll in 5. Vancouver versus Los Angeles - Another young team in LA, and I don't see them having a chance to upset a solid 'Nucks team. VAN in 5 Phoenix versus Detroit - A terrible pull for the Yotes, who really had a great season. Wings in 5. East: Caps versus Canadiens - I think the Habs will put up a good fight, but still lose in 6. New Jersey versus Philly - Philly dominated the regular season versus the Devils. I'm going to call an upset and give the Flyers the nod in 7. Buffalo versus Boston - I like Boston, so I'll give them the win in 7. Tough series though. Pittsburgh versus Ottawa - Pens should roll here in 5.

I'm heading out to the Giants game on Wednesday. Normally the Pirates are an easy win, but they seem to have a decent squad this year.

I just get concerned about your anger management. I am dead serious.

Perhaps if we say his name three times he will go away? I'll need some help on this one. Lord of Flies

The US is fairly difficult to peg with the whole tolerance label. It is an incredibly large nation with an incredibly diverse national identity. There is a ton of racism, sexism, and bigotry, I'll concede that. But it is also possible to succeed no matter what your station in life, and those chances of success are many. A land of opportunity, if you will.

tl;dr Don't feed the troll.

Yes, I'm not sure why Rockstar even used the Red Dead IP. I guess they wanted something somewhat recognizable to gamers. Maybe they haven't been happy with their new IP's, I'm not sure how Bully did but I remember some emergency game tanked way back in the day.

I'm here for you if you need to talk buddy. I know you don't like using PM's, but if you need a friend, just let me know. Life doesn't have to be this hard.

You read an awful lot into my statement that Ovechkin had a great year. This is also why the Hart trophy exists. Ovechkin is great, he would likely get my vote for MVP. But the Art Ross is based on points and Sedin had a great season to wrap that award up. You are actually the only one bashing players here (well, other than the funny bait job that Krookie is doing.)

Sedin matched Ovechkin's most points in a season, so I don't know how it is tainted. He had a great year, as did Ovechkin. Why do you feel the need to belittle his accomplishment?

I'm rooting for Detroit today in the hopes that my Sharks will not have to face them in the first round.

Again, LoF is not a real person. He is just playing a character. It could be that he has psychological issues, it could be that he is simply trying too hard to get a laugh, he could even be a well designed bot program. His whole platform was interesting, then funny, and now it is just old. Perhaps if we stop feeding him, he will go away. He also might be a college student working on a thesis.

There is going to be a time in your life when you will need your family, so be careful not to burn bridges. There are a lot of cliches regarding family for a reason.

I went ahead and set up my own website with hosting through Bluehost. I'm playing with Wordpress and designing it with my free time. I've got a lot to learn, but I'm going to try and go through a few tutorials to get a hang of it. So far I've been very impressed by the ease of use, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll share the link once I have a decent looking start. :D

4 hours a week isn't really a job. Is that one half shift a week? Sorry you are having family problems. I'd say you are best off saying yes ma'am and yes sir until you ship out, it's a relatively short period of time and it will be best in the long run. Good luck.

The Catholic church didn't develop the field of demonology, they simply used the almost universal beliefs in evil spirits and then tied those concepts to Christianity. The bible is suitably vague enough when it comes to demons that it doesn't matter whether it was originally supposed to be symbolic or real, the fact is a real demon is a lot more powerful then a metaphorical one.

How to Train your Dragon - I took my daughter. It was a fun flick, but I'm not a fan of the 3D deal. My eyes tend to hurt after about ten minutes. I'm ready for this fad to pass.

One of the possible "bad endings", Is there an option to not rape people in this game? And really, spoiler tags?

Well, that is also another thing I have been working on. I have lost 12 pounds over the course of a month. I am at the lightest I have been for years. That's great! Given the tone of your post I was worried about the opposite.

Don't forget this argument aswell... So if Rapelay would be RPG where you are playing a giant space hamster, who is gonna save his kidnapped prince from evil ranger and there would be sidequests where you could rape the witches before or after you kill them, it would be ok entertainment, as long as the depiction of the rape would be silly or cartoonish... Because current Rapelay is not cartoonish nor silly, the game should be pointed out as the most amoral thing ever created by mankind in the known history... yeah OK... It sounds like a horrid game, but it isn't anywhere near the same level as a game that revolves around rape completely.

To be realistic, Hades has mentioned weight issues, so jogging is likely not the best solution for his joints.
