I just noticed the new Night at the Museum is PG-13. School of Rock was also PG-13. What the heck is wrong with the ratings board? This totally messes up my ability to show movies in the classroom!

I was happy with the end. I actually thought this was the best season for answering questions, it seems like the first time they've answered more questions then they created. I'm pumped for the finale. The special effects for the magnetic pull incident were a bit silly. It looked very B movie-ish for awhile. I still dug it though. When did Jack become a badass marksman?

This is such a weird league. How do the Red Wings do it year after year, when it seems like a total crapshoot for all the others?

Well then, I suppose I suggest that they have at least one Bachelor party quest. It is Vegas, after all.

I think we need some actual information before this thread will really be of any use. When do we get a preview?

I like the idea of long lasting consequences. Very few games have pulled that off. I'm hoping they move out of Vegas a bit and cover areas like the Hoover Dam and the Red Rock areas. I think we need a separate thread just for whining, by the way.

Completed Arcanum for the first time, it was a decent ending. I did a lot of side quest stuff, but apparently I totally screwed over Cumbria.

It was a bummer of a game 7 for Washington, sure, but they have a young team and they can hopefully take the experience this year and come back even better next year. I don't think they have any reason to be embarrassed, getting to game 7 against a team that went to the finals last year is a solid achievement.

I took four AP tests, European and US history, Government, and Economics. I did miserable on the Gov and Econ ones, but I knew it pretty early on in the year, as the teacher was terrible and I had zero interest in economics. I passed Euro and US History, and it transferred into 12 units at my university, which was a huge help when graduating. It basically got me out of college a semester early. Those two AP classes that I actually passed are what prepared me for college though, the writing skills alone made most college level essays a breeze.

What if you don't smoke? Army of Darkness is my choice.

It is starting to sound like you got beat up by a girl. You have my condolences.

Agreed. This is a huge obstacle. Video games are pretty much stuck in an adolescent stage. They need to grow up a bit.

Maybe his ctrl and caps lock buttonsa re broken? We used to have another poster with a broken keyboard, he was always getting extra letters in every word he typed. It was funny, you could actually read his posts pretty easily once you recognized the pattern of the broken keys.

I've never felt Gromnir was worth ignoring. I find his posts hard to read on most occasions, but he is only active in a few threads that he is passionate about, and they are all about specific games rather than the general threads where the rest of the community gets to know one another. Which is exactly the same thing we can say about Twinkie.

I think the strong lore refers to the unique setting, races, species, architecture, and environment. My first sandstorm was very memorable. Oblivion was much more of a standard fantasy setting, and a lot of people found that much less engaging.

I call my students all sorts of odd things. It's the only way I can really remember who they are, by butchering the name is some way. I used to call a student Jesus. He always got perfect scores and was extremely patient with the other students. He also vaguely looked like a painting of Jesus we looked at during a Renaissance unit. He's in High School now and the nickname has apparently stuck. There is a very likely chance that I will be the first target if we have a school shooting though.

Please stop arguing about realism in video games. It IS childish. It's a video game.

I'm sorry to hear that, man. Still, sometimes it has to be done. I know, but still. The main problem is that she isn't really taking good careof herself. Her blood sugar level this morning was at a count of 27. Not good at all. The upside is that where she will be staying I will be able to visit a whole lot more often since we will be in the same town. Sorry to hear that, hopefully it's a nice place. I'm sure it will help her to have you nearby!

That's awesome deadly! Just based on the different signatures you have used over the years, I can tell that you've really gotten good with photoshop, and that is a fantastic cover you made. Now we get to tease you about your real name though

I guess I owe Brian Campbell an apology. He obviously knew something the Sharks didn't. Well played, sir.

I loved the new Star Trek. It was a blast, and the acting was a step up from the previous iterations.

I went to a movie today, and the ticket prices continue to go up. Itunes is now charging higher prices for premium songs. I don't expect prices of games to ever go down, in fact I'd be surprised if PC games didn't go up to the $60 range. But we've had one price hike for games in the last 20 years or so. I would hate to see another anytime soon, and ads might help prevent that.

I never understood why people get their panties in a bunch over advertising. If it negates some of the costs involved in these big titles and keeps us from paying more and more for a game, then I'm all for it. It obviously needs to fit into the setting, and I didn't think the BF2142 suffered at all from the billboards.
