Heroes of Might and Magic, I think the third one, had this great Opera music.

I didn't like Psycho. My grandmother showed it to me when I was 8. Do you live with her in a creepy motel?

I'm willing to do this, it just might be a bit tough to schedule it in. I actually try and do sit-ups and push-ups in the morning before I get dressed, so I'll try timing it.

I'd say Batman is like Bioshock in the atmospheric sense. There are wonderful tapes scattered around the island that give little tidbits, and the graphics really draw you in. But in every other regard I'd say it is vastly superior to Bioshock.

I loved it and I'm ready for the end.

Baldur's Gate 2 - Just played through the Anomen story line bit, funny stuff. Also playing a game or two a day of NHL10.

Or it's hilarious!

It has never crossed my mind that I may have "settled" for my wife. Every day I look at her and I think, hot damn, how'd I convince her to put up with me all these years? Then I go out and buy her something to keep her happy. Good times. Looks are really just an initial stage, as is status. Given some time, any relationship has to move past beauty and status and find a deeper connection, otherwise it will turn to crap pretty fast. I'll divulge a little embarrassing tidbit about my own relationship to make my point. For some reason my wife lost complete interest in sex for about 3 years. It was torture. I didn't know what to do, either did she. It was like a switch had been turned off. We fought quite a bit, but at no point did I ever think about giving up on the marriage. Then the switched turned back on, and it was like we had just met all over again. If it was just about looks and status, we never would have gotten through that time.

I think it is much smarter to marry for money. My wife has told me many times that her next marriage will be to someone rich.

I tend to pick RP servers when offered, not because my need to act like a scottish dwarf, but because the overall maturity level tends to be higher. Griefers don't last all that long on RP servers because they get reported quite frequently.

It's really dragging on too long, I feel like I've totally forgotten everything at this point. Maybe once he releases two more, I'll sit down and re-read the whole thing. I'm just not sure I've ever seen a write take this long on releasing a series. I know guys like Robert Jordan dragged it out, but at least he was releasing a book here and there. Martin is sooooo slow.

The Giants are probably out of it at this point. It's hard to get too down, they had a heck of a season considering they only have one decent bat in the lineup. I hope they figure out a way to lose some of the old guys for next year, they really have been a let down. If they can keep the pitching and add two more bats I think they can compete with LA on a regular basis.

I might consider the Song of Fire and Ice series when it is finished, but right now it's just a big cliffhanger.

Eh, I've gotten a ton of free content from LotR Online, or rather a ton of content for $10 a month. I haven't had any single player games match that.

Phaneuf might be feeling a bit vulnerable, he is no longer the top defenseman in Calgary in terms of salary.

Heh, I remember entering one town in F3 with 2 people, a nuka cola obsessed girl and a guy who was in love with her. My first thought was how the heck do these two survive out here? Then I realized it was a video game.

I play solo about 90% of the time in MMO's. There are a few things I enjoy about being online: 1. Chatting up guildmates while I am busy doing quests. It alleviates the grind tremendously. 2. Watching other folks engaging in combat nearby makes me feel like I'm part of something larger. Also, sometimes when I'm trying to finish a quest, I might not be able to do it, so I come back another time when other folks are in the area, and it can be a lot easier. I don't even have to group, it just helps to have people nearby taking out mobs.

I was looking at the Lucasarts package on Steam, with the Indy games, Dig, and Loom. They look like they've been re-done graphically! I might have to pick them up, you get all 4 for $10. I was also looking at the Jedi package. I only played Dark Forces. I was thinking of grabbing Jedi Knight and the rest, but some of the games look very dated. I'm not sure which ones are really worth it. I can put up with lousy graphics in adventure and RPG games, but I need more from shooters.

Are people generally impressed when a player injures another during preseason? I guess he could remove the pre from season, but it seems like a pretty safe statement from Kor there.

Doomsday - Phenomenal. I went in not expecting much, but I was absolutely blown away. It is a fantastic post apoc. movie, I'd put it right alongside Mad Max. The lead actress was great, but there was this one cannibal girl with face paint and swords that was just drop dead gorgeous. There were some silly parts, apparently cannibalism is a fantastic diet that will make you look like a model, but overall it was a very enjoyable film.

oh man i lol'd so hard Because he is right? He grew up reading them, they are wonderful books, I don't know where you feel the need to be patronizing there.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what it was about Unfinished Business. It just goes to show how hard it is to catch lightning in a bottle. It had all the JA elements, but it just fell flat.

Favorite book is Master and Margarita by Bulgakov, but for a series I would have to give a nod to Bernard Cornwell's epic Richard Sharpe series. I should re-read Master and Margarita though, been a few years.

Fallout 3 was the my top game of 2008. 4 encounters in 30 minutes of wasteland exploring actually seems like a lot. It's a wasteland. If you are really hard up for a fight head towards the capitol.
