Sundin will get his contract no matter where he plays the rest of the season. I don't see how trading Sundin to a contender is treating him like garbage, the guy deserves a shot at Lord Stanley and it doesn't look like he will get it with Toronto. It's a mutual beneficial agreement to let him join a contender, he gets to play in the playoffs and Toronto gets a few solid players or prospects. He can even return to the Leafs next year, as a few players have done recently. Obviously it is his decision in the end, and it won't even be an issue if the Leafs are in a race for a playoff spot. Doug Wilson won't trade Marleau easily, but I'd imagine he'd make an exception for Sundin.

That's awesome. I believe Hothead is also producing the Penny Arcade game. I like the idea of episodic comedy games, it seems like comedy can be more successful in short increments than other genres. It keeps the jokes from being overdone. It's kind of like how a 30 minute sitcom doesn't necessarily translate well into a movie.

Employee of the Month - I guess it could have been worse. I actually fast forwarded through the Jessica Simpson parts because it was painful to watch her deliver dialogue. I fast forwarded through some other parts as well. It had a funny moment here and there, I actually think the arch nemesis guy and Pedro were fairly funny, whereas the rest were hard to watch. It's a good movie if you are busy doing other things and it's on in the background.

I had one going with Kor and Llyr, but I haven't had much time to play lately. I'll join your league when I get a chance. You might want to put a password, unless you want a bunch of random folks in the league. This doesn't mean I'm taking you off ignore on these boards Kor might still be emotionally scarred from losing to me 2-1 in the series.

Bourne Supremacy - Excellent, good conclusion to the trilogy. Were there any more books? I'm going to assume the storyline is done, since there doesn't seem to be anymore loose ends. I liked the slow development of Julia Stiles' character. Waitress - Very quirky. Good ending, my inner feminist enjoyed it tremendously. Chalk - Fictional account of young high school teachers shot in a documentary style. It was good in that it showed how difficult it is to teach, but it would have been nice if they included a teacher who was actually concerned about the students and not egotistical. Although at tougher schools I suppose these types of teachers are the status quo.

The Open Ice Classic was incredibly good. It snowed pretty much the entire time. I hope they never stop doing this type of game. Anything that gets 70,000 people out to watch it is never a bad thing, especially for the NHL which is struggling to gain attention. Crosby is awesome. He'll be a good ambassador for the game, possibly as good as Gretzky, and that's more important than anything he does on the ice. Although I think Ryan Miller deserved the win, he played awesome.

I am Legend - I really enjoyed it, and as another person said, I wish it had been even longer. It's one of those movies that could pull off another hour of footage easily. I also really enjoyed the ending.

I think Fergie is pretty decent considering she spent a few years as a crack addict on the streets.

I was surprised to find out that my 360 does not play HD-DVD's. I guess I was being naive, but I thought it was an HD-DVD player. It turns out that I need to buy a separate drive for $160 to play HD-DVD's. Do you guys think it's worth it? My TV is a pretty basic HDTV, only up to 480p (or i, can't keep them straight.) It's a 36 inch widescreen.

The Witcher will run terribly on 1 gig or Ram. I had 1.5 gigs and ended up using its performance to justify an entirely new rig.

Well it scales, so that shouldn't matter too much. It also depends on what order you tackle the planets. I also went after Benezia first, and it was the toughest fight of the game for me. I bet if I'd waited until later it would have been easier.

I've been playing CoD4 on the PC (sorry Xbox Live guys.) It's pretty awesome, I haven't even started the single player though. So far I'm best with the shotgun, but I'm only about level 6 or 7 so we'll see how the unlocks go. I'm also playing EQ2 on Extreme quality settings, and it's purty.

I've got all sorts of strategies on how not to have women notice or be attracted to you, in case anyone is interested. They mostly revolve around looking like me and not having charm whatsoever.

I'm actually back to playing EQ2. They've done quite a bit to the game since I last played, and it looks dreamy on my new PC. I originally checked out Vanguard, which also looked great, but it was still a buggy mess and Sony's ads convinced me to try the new EQ2 expansion, which actually features all the old stuff. I'm also interested in this new card game they have inside the actual online world. I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard good stuff.

I'm close to my WoW character, but I don't really call him my guy. We are just friends with benefits.

I got CoD4...for the PC and the 360. I might hold on to both considering I have different groups that play on each one. I don't know, it's either that or trade one in for Kane and Lynch. I'd really like to play Kane and Lynch with our crew. I think it would be awesome.

Well, Ultima Online is still around, as is EQ. MMO's don't seem to die easily. I'd say WoW has at least 5 years left as a major MMO.

I think you made the right decision Wals. Also, if she didn't find that hilarious, then she's lame.

Last night I was at the hockey rink and they were doing a radio show with Jamie Baker (the one who scored the upset goal for the Sharks against Detroit so many years ago.) The Sharks had just lost 4-2 to Anaheim, and I asked him on the air who I think they will replace Ron Wilson with as coach. He gave a pretty good answer, basically stating that who has more experience that doesn't have a job right now?

My guess is Oblivion.

Wow, I hooked up with both of them...at the same time! That's the closest I'll ever get to a threesome for $50.

I read about it earlier, but it was a good show by Crosby. He definitely fights better than Gretzky. He got one real solid shot in.

Happy Holidays! Remember to fatten up for the cold months.

I've never noticed the noise. In fact I've forgotten to turn it off a few times after watching a movie because it's quiet. I'm hoping to have Assassin's Creed after Christmas. Other than that, I'll be on vacation for two weeks starting today, so I'll try to make myself available for a bit o' Live action.
