Whatever, the Stars had a delicate balance on the team, and now they've shaken the boat and will proceed to tumble into obscurity. At least, that is what I tell myself to sleep easier at night.

Perfect! So what does it mean?

This is well written, I wish that every snot nosed pirate will get a chance to read it. It does seem like an online authentication system would be a prevention method. Can you pirate Half-Life 2? Doesn't it require an internet connection just to play? I see no problem requiring people to be online when playing games, but you will hear folks complain about it. Still, if the numbers are that high, it makes me think they might as well do it.

Tabula Rasa - It's interesting. The setting is unique and I'm enjoying the visuals. It's definitely a standard MMO underneath the shooter looks. Not groundbreaking, but not poorly done.

I think a new type of RPG could be great, we've had plenty of fantasy and a fair amount of sci-fi, but something unique could be wonderful.

That isn't a spelling error, it's a word usage error. Spellcheck wouldn't help.

Only really good players get the moniker because they already have a reputation as an outstanding regular season performer. It's not really an insult. It's just a question of whether their tremendous game changing talent can translate into post season success.

That's surprising, I thought Titan Quest did alright from a sales perspective. It seemed to get enough attention to do so.

Dang, Krookie got it first. It's great though, maybe I'll just copy him. Without the lame dinosaurs

He is Russian. Maybe he's like Drago from Rocky, more machine than man. That would possibly result in a human suckiness.

****, I thought he was just busy. That sucks. Was he banned here or at Codex? Man...if they really ban people here, I'm surprised a few folks are still here.

I'm not quite sure why this gets you so worked up. Of course a great player isn't going to have a reputation as a playoff performer until he proves it. People will question that part of his game until he removes doubt.

Some players struggle early in their careers during the playoffs, like Stevie Y. Some seem to only come awake during the playoffs, like Claude Lemieux. Some never seem to find a way to win in the playoffs, like Curtis Joseph. I'm not sure what is so controversial about that.

To have faith is to have a belief that has no empirical data justify such belief, therefore by its very nature faith is unreasonable. Having faith in a religion is an act of being unreasonable. Not really. Having faith in something doesn't necessarily make it unreasonable. People put their faith in the unknown all the time. It's impossible to reason out everything in this world, no matter what the empirical data is, you will always have anomolies (sp?). For example, why do people put their faith in a certain sports team winning a game? Why can't we just put together all the empirical data and determine the winner based on that? Because there are too many variables, too many possible outcomes, too much complexity. Life is the same way. Through reason and science we can explain an enormous amount, just like we can calculate who has the better players or the better gameplan. But it's impossible to always predict the outcome. So most people put their faith behind a team, and it's reasonable in their own minds, even if it is a longshot according to the empirical evidence.

I'm surprised the Pens traded Armstrong, he seemed to click with Crosby. I'm not saying Hossa won't do good things, but they need to develop chemistry quick and Hossa might not be around for long. They've got to fork over a lot of money in the coming years to keep this current line up.

God I hope Richards doesn't fix his game in Dallas. I hope he stinks up the place I'm really surprised that Columbus seems to be selling. They have a legitimate shot at a playoff spot. Foote is a defensive leader who can still play positional hockey better than most, and it sounded like he wanted to stay with them for the rest of his career. They practically gave him away. It just seems like they don't have faith in the team, and that's too bad. I was actually pretty impressed when I watched them a few times this season.

The Avs picked up Adam Foote too. Sharks got Brian Campbell for Steve Bernier. I haven't really seen Campbell much, but everybody seems to rave about him. This fills a huge whole for the Sharks, they really only had three top defensemen, so now they've rounded that out. They can finally get that big lout Semenov off the ice. Bernier could really blossom in Buffalo, he's got terrific potential. The other big trade is Brad Richards to Dallas for what seems like almost nothing. That's pretty upsetting as a Sharks fan, but Dallas is a pretty tight defensive team, so Richards might have trouble gelling in time for the playoffs. It's going to be a good deal different than Tampa for him.

That's wonderful news. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the Muslim world reacts to it.

Last year was extremely active, at least I thought it was. Forsberg signed with the Avs, which I don't think is a huge deal. He's really struggled to make an impact the last few seasons because he can't maintain the physical play that he used to.

I'm pretty shocked at the complete lack of movement. With tomorrow being the deadline, I'm really not sure how big a day it will be.

It's like they found some underground reservoir of awesome and they tapped it. And then, just when it seemed it would dry up, they found another reservoir... in space.

What? But it's Australian for beer!

Nope, just as long as it's not some wierd swirly thing. This is gonna be awesome.

? corona is 4.6% by volume, which is standard for nearly all beers without doing something extra. even guiness is only 4% or so. taks I don't know, it could just be a mental thing. I just never feel all that drunk drinking Corona.

Can I get one too Deadly? But please make it different than Krook's.
