Yeah, stay away from those prescription drugs. They'll kill you. Sleeping pills are dangerous. There tends to be bigger issues at hand when someone needs a prescription sleeping pill. These are powerful drugs, whether they are prescribed or not. I hope it raises the awareness that "hey, maybe I shouldn't take death pills and should work on getting my mind in a place where I don't need drugs to relax."

http://gamepolitics.com/2008/01/22/1993/ The Mass Effect attacks continue. What amazes me is that nobody is actually doing any research or checking their sources on this. If they saw the 3 minute clip on youtube there would be no story here. It's ridiculous, and nobody even seems to care that the game is rated MA. The whole story is "it's a sex game created for kids!" I would really like to see Bioware seek legal recourse, this is basically slander, and it happens too often with video games. It's getting more ridiculous every year.

That's pretty shocking. The guy just had a daughter a couple years ago, if I remember correctly. I'm sure some folks will argue, but I think he was an incredible actor and it's a shame he's gone. Like River Phoenix, I have the feeling that his best work was still ahead of him. Too bad the drugs got him. I don't think it will affect Batman at all. The movie is finished. I heard his performance is very creepy, and him being dead will only help that.

Nope, it's a pretty light penalty. The game has actually changed tremendously over the last 3 years. I played it about two years ago for a couple months and was bored after a bit, but this go around has been much different. There are three new starting cities, all sorts of crazy new content, a Magic-like card game that is actually played in-game. It's still more complex than WoW (which is good or bad, depending on what you want), but it's also a bit easier to jump into. I've been really amazed at the depth of the quests and character development.

Yep, I use a MicroSD in my Sansa Sandisk MP3 player. It's awesome.

EU and japanese populations are also much more co-located than in the US. as a result, it is much easier to implement mass transit (that actually works). living in a city is not always possible in the US. most japanese, OTOH, live in or very near very large metropolitan areas. it is very easy to justify small cars in such places since they don't need them for much as we in the US do. weather in the US varies wildly as well, ranging from desert, to beach to mountain terrain also with significant snowfall in areas not otherwise in the mountains. these terrain differences are separated by hundreds if not thousands of miles to boot. in COS, it is insane to NOT have an SUV. it has snowed nearly non-stop that past 2 months. going anywhere other than denver or pueblo from here requires mountain travel, and depending upon your hobby of choice, significant off-road travel as well. i'd like to see any of you so-called environmentalists get up timber hill in a 40 mpg car. you're naively comparing apples to oranges. taks Extremely true. The SUV's are not really the issue, you can clearly make fuel efficient SUV's. The issue is that the oil companies do everything they can to resist progress. That's their business. They make huge money selling gas, and so they spend a chunk of it buying up technologies that threaten their business. A 1988 CR-X could get 50 miles to the gallon. But the fact is the oil companies have no real reason to support progress. They aren't going to put themselves out of business.

We took our 9 month old daughter to see National Treasure. Before someone flips out (again) it was a special movies with mom event at the theatre. They have it every Monday before noon, and the lights aren't dimmed and the volume isn't quite as rattling. It was pretty fun, although a kid was kicking my seat, but it's tough to complain when my daughter was ga-ga-ing. She slept through the first half, watched for about 10 minutes, and then I walked her around near the door for the rest. The movie was good, at least on a par with the first. Seemed a bit shadier with the history, but whatever sparks interest and all that.

That sounds like a pretty nice set. I always wanted to play the original Gothic even though Gothic 2 never captured my attention, and the demo of 3 seemed pretty solid.

The best game of Arcanum I had was with a mage who was sheltered and frail as a child. There really isn't any weak characters in the game, there are just different approaches to how you play it.

I don't know why anyone would want him to rot, the guy was clearly mentally unstable. I have more pity for him than anything else. His anti-semiticism was just a by-product of a mind that worked much differently than the averge person. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm just surprised anyone would take it seriously.

Well, if you hadn't read the book, then you wouldn't have that expectation.

Actually, that's a pretty mature apology. It takes a lot more guts to admit you are misinformed than it does to just throw up defensive walls. We would get a lot more done if both sides of an argument were willing to listen and try to compromise, and it seems as if this guy is attempting to do so.

Huh, I thought the recent Tomb Raider game was decent. I'm also surprised to hear it didn't sell well, it was one of the early 360 titles and that alone usually helps a game sell copies.

Norton is currently the highest rated in PC World.

Karka, I feel bad for the janitor of that facility. I heard it's Roger Wilco.

I'll be honest, when I play a Bioware game, it's like I've been eating dried jerkey and berries in the woods for a year and I've suddenly been given a double cheeseburger. It tastes awesome. At least that was the way I felt when I played KotOR, JE, and ME. It probably has a bit to do with the fact that there is few and far between in terms of good RPG's. I wasn't has hungry when I played the BG's because it seemed like I was still getting fed regularly.

Eh, or you could just download the demo. I'm not a fan of FPS games, and even though I just bought a new rig, I saw no reason to buy Crysis. The demo was fun from a graphics standpoint, but as a game I had no interest in even finishing the demo.

I'm rooting for a Favre vs. Brady match up. It would be pretty epic. I could see Favre pulling it off.

I believe 'em. The term fundamental is tacked onto these people for a reason. Nothing is good when taken to the extreme, whether it's religion or atheism or whatever.

That's not true, quite a few games have been released as Freeware that used to be commercial titles. Lately some fairly recent games have been released for free download as well, like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and FarCry (albeit with advertisements built in.) Some games are even re-worked by fans to make them playable on todays systems, like SCUMM and the Sierra adventure games. In fact I'm surprised that more publishers don't release old titles for free download, it would give them a good idea about what properties still have enough interest to warrant a new version.

Yogurt also prevents vaginal irritation. I'm serious. edit: And I mean eating it, you sick people.

What happened to the Rangers anyway? It seems like just a couple weeks ago they were fighting for the division, and now they are in the cellar.
