Started Kings Bounty, hopefully I'll get some time to really enjoy it this weekend.

I thought it was the bee's knees.

I agree with you alanschu, in fact I had said earlier that Marleau needs to maintain his current game for another few seasons to really be considered great. And really, Krookie is just saying Marleau is playing at the highest level this season, which is obvious to anyone who watches a few Sharks games. He is only 30, so if he puts up 70-80 points for the next four seasons, which is plenty possible, that will give him decent numbers. He would still need to shine in the playoffs to really gain a better reputation though. His numbers are good, but not close to the HoF at all. Although I hesitate to go strictly by points per game on measuring greatness. As for Graves, I really don't know much about him, I was just saying that to bug Volo

I think the human versus dog comparison fails due to the complex nature of humans. Humans are much more a product of their environment than their race. There are some cool genetic difference though, like sherpas.

Actually Marleau led the Sharks to the playoffs a couple years before the arrival of Thornton. And Heatley is a goal scorer, that's his role. A team built around him would not go anywhere, as was evidenced in Atlanta. Is there any team in the league that would be the best team if they built around one star player? Every top team has multiple stars on it.

THEN WHO WAS PHONE? The calls are coming from inside the house!

I can agree with that. Maybe if they do more exploration and leave Pandora altogether, but that's unlikely.

That does lend a lot more credence to Loghain's actions.

I don't necessarily want to be your friend, I just want you to develop a friendship with SOMEONE. Seriously, you might as well be a bot with all the relationships you've managed to build over the years. It's not healthy.

You have a weird idea of Brazil. You don't get diseased by travelling there. You don't even get diseased by living there. I was speaking more about rain forests than specific countries.

Why do you keep saying that? He already responded and told you that was not true. Troll.

I voted for that one, but more because it is the only one I don't understand. Hence it must be bad.

Even when Cheechoo was scoring 54 goals, no one was saying he was one of the greatest players ever. He was a fantastic finisher, but he lacked the puck handling and skating to dominate a game. Marleau has dominated games throughout his career. Not consistently, but he can take over a game, and he's even got solid numbers in the playoffs. He scored two hat tricks in a series against Colorado, and that was before Thornton even came to SJ. Now Marleau is a great player, but who knows what will happen in the next few years? If he plays the way he has this year and last, then he deserves to be considered one of the best in the league. You can make the argument that pretty much every great player has had other great guys around them to elevate their play. Ovechkin has Semin and Green. Crosby has Malkin. Lemieux had Jagr. I don't think Marleau is there yet, again he was very inconsistent in his early career, but if he keeps up this type of play for a couple years, then Thornton-Marleau deserve their place.

Yes, but Morgoth seems to be putting forth the theory that popularity = bad. http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20100112/en_huffpost/420605 Apparently Avatar is depressing people. Seriously, if they want to visit Pandora, go visit Brazil or the Congo. Sure, you will probably die from some disease, but that kinda goes along with the Pandora vibe too.

Up has an insane 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it is CGI and features an old man, a boy, and a dog. It also made most people cry in the first 20 minutes.

Adam Graves was a great player, actually.

New Orleans over Arizona - probably a bad choice, but if the Saints D shows up they can stop the Cards Indy over Baltimore - I'm not a Ravens fan. Dallas over Min - The Cowboys look like the real deal this year. SD over NY - Just for Kelverin

Marleau is a pretty good example of how the C isn't always good for a player. He has been one of the best players in the league since he had the letter taken away.

Wait, did someone call Toy Story soulless? Wow.

I'm pretty sure Avatar had a story.

Mostly I watch Fox News through Daily Show clips. But I really only watch my local news folks, I don't care much for CNN or MSNBC either.

I agree with Bhlaab, it was a bit odd how I could take out security forces easily right at the start of Fallout 3. I found the Raiders a bit harder at the start though.

I agree with Writeguard.

Bush was a skilled domestic politician. I haven't seen any of the qualities that Bush possessed in Palin. I'm not a fan of Bush, I just don't think he was a terrible president. When we look back on his terms in 20 years, I think he will be decidedly average. From a foreign policy perspective, he was very weak, so I can see where you are coming from though.

I'm pretty sure Palin has no chance of ever capturing the Republican nomination to run for president.
