Hiller is killing me! He's standing on his head, the Sharks are doing everything they need to do to win the game and it is still 1-1.

What are you playing now?
In DDO I joined a guild called th epermadeath Society. They have a few rules to make the game more exciting, namely you can't respawn after death. So a wizard and me were exploring a sewer system, and he noticed a chest up high in a corner. We climbed a few ledges to get there. When he made it, he said he had to go afk a bit. I decided to explore the area, avoiding the chest. Then suddenly a huge ball of gas blew up and an arcane skeleton attacked. The skellie whooped on me hard, knocking me down to almost no hitpoints. I backpedaled straight off the ledge and crumpled to the ground unconscious. The skeleton then killed my wizard compadre. I ended up stabilizing and recovering enough to hightail it out of there, but I felt terrible about getting the wizard killed! The sad part is I'm a rogue!

Rob Schneider is a surprisingly easy guy to watch as a lead character. I thought Deuce Bigalow (the first one) was a comedy classic.

Is Ernest Hemingway telling you the story of the time he caught a giant swordfish in that picture?

Americans can't do anything right
There is also a pretty big difference between obesity and being morbidly obese. If your BMI is in the 30 range for a woman or high 20's for a man, that isn't great, but it isn't going to impair your ability to lead a normal life. But when you get into the 30+ pounds overweight zone, you are in some pretty major jeopardy.

I have a free-trail for that I've never used, maybe I should break it out for a week or two, however long it lasts, and run with you for a bit. That'd be cool, it really is a game that almost requires a group. It'd be like playing pen and paper D&D with a DM and one player. There is solo content, but you can definitely see where a different class here and there could make it a better experience. I'm on the Argonessen server, right now my main character is a level 2 cleric named Lastly.

Didn't Godfather 2 just come out? Aren't they terribly similar?

I decided to check out Dungeons and dRagons Online for a spell. I was a bit put off at first, but it grew on me, so I figured I'd give it a full month.

It's pretty easy to read and respond to twitters over cell phones, so I think that's the appeal.

E10/E game advice for PS3
The best thing my parents ever did was to limit my video game time to weekends only, so I understand what ramza is saying. But I'm sure taks son is getting plenty of outdoor activity time as well.

Yeah, I got nothing for hitting rank 7, and it is getting harder and harder to win fights.

I believe that is only on the 360.

We both probably have a strong dislike for Chris Pronger as well.

Huh, I've never smoked in my life, and I'm extremely agitated by anyone who smokes near me. My wife is the same way.

Can torrent sites be prosecuted.
Yes, rape and murder deserve considerable jail time. This is basically a white collar crime.

Can torrent sites be prosecuted.
Their crime was a financially based one. The jail time is rather short, but the fine makes total sense. I'd say it's a pretty fair verdict, to be honest. Hopefully it stands up.

DRM Thread
Yep, these are video games. They aren't something anyone is entitled to. I'm not a fan of some of the DRM measures, and I'd sign a petition to eliminate the more intrusive ones, but piracy is for the morally bankrupt. I know this because when I was younger, I did my share of pirating. I look back on that time with a ton of regret. Not only was I selfishly damaging the industry that I wanted to thrive, but I was trading short term enjoyment at the cost of my long term happiness. It was stupid.

NHL
The Ducks have a few guys that are absolute snipers. I was really underwhelmed by the Sharks shooting, every shot was low and very few had much power behind them. A few young guys seemed to be gripping the stick a bit too tightly, I suppose. Boyle rang a nice one off the post.

Ugh, Hiller is playing extremely good. The Sharks also aren't passing crisply enough, especially on the powerplay. Well, hopefully the offense will show up in the second game.

DRM Thread
But I'm not sure if that group itself is that large. They are a vocal minority, sure, and they wield the power of the internets. But I have a pretty good feeling that 90% of customers don't care about limited installs and all that. They just want the game to work when it is put in the PC.

I remember when St. Louis won the President's trophy and the Sharks knocked them out in the first round. A Blues defenseman actually threw the puck in his own net at one point. I was scared to death that the Blues would finish 8th and return the favor to San Jose this year. Thankfully they are only playing the team that won the Cup a couple years ago. Oddly enough, Pronger has played against San Jose quite a bit in the playoffs in all three jerseys he has worn in the NHL.

Is there a way to tell if your opponent has a pet? Wolves and bears kick my butt.

DRM Thread
That's a shame, since Stardock is one of the few companies that came out against DRM. Just goes to show most folks pirating are simply selfish a-holes who think they are entitled to other people's hard work.

[TV] Deadliest Warrior
There is another one where these two guys go around the world learning different fighting styles. Then they take on a few locals using that style. It's pretty awesome. Surprisingly I think it's on the travel channel or something.
