  1. Wait, what? The Super Bowl will be played after the Pro Bowl?
  2. I've always told my students that the single most important thing about a degree is that you actually got it. Whatever school or type of degree it is, the fact is you spent at least 4 years seeing something through to completion. Companies want to know they are hiring someone who can take a project and complete it.
  3. God of War is probably the only games I might be interested in, since I never played them. But I'm not dying for it, and then next one is on the PS3.
  4. I think it mostly has to do with marketing and maximizing release dates. Sales numbers are a bit silly, in that it isn't just about how many units you sell. They track all sorts of weird factors to determine goals. Because if your DVD is the number one seller during a weekend in Zimbabwe, that is a big deal, even if it is tanking everywhere else.
  5. What game is it?
  6. You can't turn the volume off on your computer? This was a pretty awesome little flash game. Brought back some good memories.
  7. Heh, I always thought zone restrictions were silly. Although doesn't MI5 have the technology to mod his DVD player? I'm not really sure if zone restrictions have anything to do with fighting piracy though.
  8. Well, eventually I'll get it to run on my Tivo Box whenever I upgrade to an HD Tivo player. There are a few ways to make it work, but the 360 was a pretty easy setup that required no extra costs on my end. It would be neat if it came out on the Wii, I don't use mine enough.
  9. Figured it out. Stupid bear eye was a bit hard to pick up among the pixels.
  10. I just have the bottom. I'm still not getting it. Does the fruit do anything?
  11. It's a shame, because Live is way better than Home. I really miss the Netflix feature. I got about $250 in credit at Gamestop when I traded it in, and I only had 4 games, a few of which were only worth a couple bucks. So I was very happy with that.
  12. This is pretty much reason number one I jumped ship to the PS3.
  13. I'm at 12, but I'm stuck there with an old chicken. edit: I give up. Where is the walk-through?
  14. I'd probably put Will Smith above any of the acting in 28 Days, but other than that I'd say both are excellent movies. I enjoyed the ending of 28 Days much better than Legend, but then again, I think the ending of 28 Days was particularly inspired.
  15. Finally caught up on my tivoed episodes. Awesome stuff! I'm really enjoying it, and I definitely feel they are moving towards a strong conclusion.
  16. I agree. That's what torrents are for. That's called piracy, but I guess if you are morally bankrupt, go right ahead. That sense of entitlement you have must be justified in some way. I think the best way to avoid commercials is to get a Tivo.
  17. taks is probably right, I didn't pay too much attention to all the terminology. She probably needed more glucose then.
  18. Did you guys know that the sugar you get from an apple is actually different than the sugar you get from apple juice? Seriously, I have a friend who was told by the doctor that she needed more sugar. She was eating a lot of fruit, but that only fulfills one type of sugar, so she needed to start drinking juice.
  19. You do actually need sugar to survive, and there are better sugars than others. But yeah, one good juice a day is about right, you don't want to overdo anything.
  20. Awesome. I know a lot of folks who drop 20-30 pounds just by cutting out soda. I recommend a natural juice drink. It has enough sugar to get you going, but it's real fruit sugar so it is way better for your health. I drink a Crystal Geyser Juice Squeeze almost every day at work, they are very good.
  21. Congratulations to both Kirottu and Calax for winning the contests. I've always known Kirottu was a comedic genius, and I look forward to reading Calax's erotica...err fan fiction.
  22. Stop it with them negative waves. Secret agents are much more of a saleable commodity that freaky things like Big Daddys I'm jumping on the positive train with Crashgirl. Choo choo, Alpha Protocol is going to kick ass and chew bubblegum!
  23. I'm downloading now. I'm assuming that Sanguine Striga is you, Deadly? Your avatar scared me a bit Thanks for the trial, I'll give it a spin. I should be on this weekend for some action.
  24. Unfortunately I'm not sure how much competition AP will be. I'm guessing AP will be more of a slow and steady seller, whereas Bioshock 2 will fly off the shelves at release.
