My dad got me into games when I was young. It taught me how to use computers (Atari ST was first) and it was definitely a bonding experience. Even today, it's a big connection for us. My little future gamer is only 1, but I plan on following the same plan as taks with her. I don't get how parents can be disconnected with anything their child does. I don't love watching the Wiggles, but I love watching my daughter enjoy the Wiggles.

Isn't there some Star Wars TV show coming out? Not an animated one, either. There Will Be Blood - Great. The priest was a bigger SOB than Daniel Plainview.

I'm not surprised Calgary is giving the Sharks a hard time. First, the top three in Calgary are as good as they come in Iginla, Kipper, and Phaneuf. Iginla is a great clutch goal scorer, and I was afraid for that game to go into overtime because I could see him finishing it by himself. Sure the Sharks are deeper and have more talent, but Calgary is a physical team and they aren't giving up a lot of inches on the ice. I just hope this series toughens the Sharks up for the rest of the playoffs without eliminating them. The Sharks lack intensity out there during certain stretches. It was a problem all season and I didn't see things really click until the last 20 games.

I just read that NHL08 sold 460k copies in 2007. That seems terrible, especially considering FIFA08 managed about 5 million sopies sold. What the heck is wrong? I know a fair amount of people who bought the game, some of which aren't even huge hockey fans. I think the slaes figure was North America too, which means you Canadiens should be ashamed.

Sharks win! 9 seconds left and the Sharks win!

I'm reading the 4th book in Bernard Cornwell's Saxon series, Sword Song. It follows the story of a fictional Saxon warrior during the rise of Alfred the Great. It's extremely awesome, it reads like a great fantasy novel, but it does it's best to stay as close to the known history as possible. The struggles between the relatively young Christian religion and the strong Pagan believes of the Danes and Saxons is incredibly well done.

Lol no. I'd give it a leg up on part 3. Part 2 was pretty awesome though.

No, it is only "God" when talking about the idea that is named "God." For example, I would not say "I do not believe in a God" - for I said I do not believe in a general deity and not the specific one named "God." uh...what? I have no clue what you mean.

GTA4 has special coop missions. I'm not sure how many, but it sounds promising.

For a junior hockey team, your Oilers did pretty well earlier Kor. Good series. I read up on GTA4's multiplayer, and it sounds awesome. The cops vs. robbers scenario sounds great, basically two teams chasing eachother. We can probably get some pretty epic matches going if everyone gets it in our forum group.

It's a proper noun because the name of the deity is God or Allah. Other deities have specific names associated with them, such as Odin or Zeus. You capitalize them when you refer to them by that name. I guess you could argue that it's arrogant for religion to use the word god as the name of their deity, given its definition, but that's just what they chose. If someone created a religion and named their deity Mr.Kickbutt, we would still capitalize it, because that is the name given.

Does everone understand that it's grammatically correct to spell the singular, monotheistic God with an uppercase G? Lowwercase is reserved when talking about the many different gods. It's not really a religious issue, it's about good grammar. Just because you don't believe J.E. Sawyer exists, doesn't mean you start spelling his name j.e. sawyer. That's just silly. (By the way, J.E. Sawyer is just one of Hades alts.)

Both of these people are lame. Both are blinded by their fanaticism.

I'm so pissed at the Sharks right now. It's like they weren't even skating for the last two periods. This is the point where they curled up and died the last two seasons. I guess we'll see what happens.

Battlefield 2 is the best sniper experience I've ever had in a game. The maps are big enough where you can actually put yourself far enough away to not be easily seen, and the shots are strong enough to get a kill from a couple hundred yards out.

I've totally fallen out of shape since my daughter was born a year ago. I stopped climbing and I've only run a couple times. I still play hockey once a week, which is probably the only thing keeping me from going completely to hell.

I probably put more hours into Crackdown than any other 360 game so far. I imagine GTA4 will replace that need, but I'm not sure if that even has coop.

I really don't get how the deal with Microsoft worked. I mean, they changed their name after 27 years and they ran an 8 page Microsoft ad in the back of every issue. It certainly seemed like they had sold out to stay alive, so it's puzzling that they didn't even make it a year. You would think it would be in Microsoft's best interest to keep the magazine alive. I don't blame them for selling out to Microsoft, I'm just shocked that it didn't seem to have much affect.

I just picked up the new Final Fantasy game for the DS, Revenant Wings. It's amazing what they manage to do on this little handheld. So far so good, but I've only played about 20 minutes.

I think the GTA series makes enough money for them to try.

The Caps game was phenomenal. How do you spell that word? That Mike Green character is pretty awesome. Ovechkin seemed to be playing a different game when he scored the gamewinner. He made two players look feeble.

Krook is just upset that Avery stole his girlfriend, Elisha Cuthbert. I don't blame him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisha_Cuthbert Avery has actually really developed into an excellent player over the years. He used to take a lot of dumb penalties in LA, but his last season there he started to figure out how to be pesky and not hurt his team at the same time. I knew he was a great pickup for the Rangers.

I also enjoy how you can tell how old a person is based on the games they put in their list. For example, thepixiesrock is clearly about 6 years old.

I can't believe someone just called the Adam miller mods crappy. That is insane. INSANE.

Pittsburgh made Ottawa look pretty bad. The Sens never really threatened at all. Ryan Whitney destroyed Wade Redden in a late fight, too.
