NHL
It wasn't as bad as the stats show. Garon played well and kept Edmonton in it until the empty net goal. Nabokov was challenged a few times thoug,h so that's something. It sounds like it's cold up there!

New Fallout 3 screens
Along with this post, @\NightandtheShape/@ will receive a complimentary copy of "You Got Served" available in DVD and VHS format. Which has been aptly returned to said sender. That's too bad, it features Kirsten Dunst back when she still acted in movies and it has the semi-evil vampire slayer from Buffy as well. You're missing out.

Terminator
I agree, that's why I think they should stay away from the time travel stuff as much as possible.

Except for Jean Claude Van Damme's "Timecop". That movie was wicked accurate.

How do I get registered as an Indian?
Where? In Northern California, everyone from India or whose parents are from India refers to themselves as Indian. The term American Indian is used often, but Tale is very correct in pointing out that specific tribe names are much more appropriate. In Feng's case, he's clearly trying to find what his link is to American Indian tribes. He is currently an outsider, but if he does manage to establish a connection, he will probably start referring to himself as Cherokee.

Terminator
The time machine concept was a bit easier to swallow before this TV series. It seemed like a rather difficult trick to pull off, but now they are saying some engineer was sent back to 1963 and created one. What are the limits here? It almost seemed like there was some sort of limited window to send stuff back, hence the reason that you have a good and bad character being sent back through at the same time in the three movies. So where are the limits on time travel? Why not just send an entire army back?

Xbox 360 Reloaded
CoD 4 was part of that holiday sale that dropped a bunch of games to $40 around christmas. Clearly the sale is over now.

Terminator
Ooops, you are very right. I can't keep my fantasy TV series characters straight. This is almost as embarrassing as when Spike became an FBI agent in Bones and Angel became a Billy Idol impersonator on the Las vegas strip.

Terminator
Ok, after finishing the episode and reading up a bit on wikipedia, I have no clue what crazy timeline they are using here. It's going to be an odd series, that's for sure.

Terminator
Ok, I'm watching the pilot right now, and it actually seems pretty solid. It takes place shortly after T2, so the cops are after Sara and John. There's a Terminator trying to kill John, but there's also a surprising female Terminator protecting him. It's Willow from Firefly. I was pretty shocked! Sara Connor is played by the lady who played the queen in 300. She's pretty good as well. The bad Terminator seems pretty generic, why couldn't they get the liquid guy from T2? He's not doing anything, I saw him in a WWE movie awhile back and he could use the work. John is also played by someone I've never seen before. Anyways, considering the writer strike has basically killed new shows, this is a decent little gem amongst all the reality crap.

Movies you have seen lately
I guess I'll nix it from my netflix list. I enjoyed the first two as well, but this one really has flown under the radar and I guess there is good reason.

Movies you have seen lately
I'm not sure if Rambo is even rental worthy. Maybe as a Rambo marathon. I watched Mr. Brooks - It was very good, better than I thought it would be. Kevin Costner was solid as a serial killer. Dane Cook was a good choice for his particular role, as in it was a satisfying conclusion. I can't remember the last time I watched Demi Moore. The Rocket - A Canadien tribute to Maurice Richard. I wish it was more of a documentary, it was really just a celebration of his talent.

http://www.cherokee.org/Services/Registrat...46/Default.aspx That should do it, if you are primarily Cherokee then you want to pursue stuff through them. Good luck!

Zero Punctuation - Yahtzee reviews
I don't know why people take reviews so seriously. They can be a useful source of information, but it's not serious journalism. The scores given are a matter of opinion, not some mathematical formula.

Sweet! It's good to see X-play getting involved and spreading the word to all 7 of their viewers.

Hey look, Jack Thompson has an Intern!
Great question. I do believe games are becoming more mainstream everyday. But the game industry itself is going to have to do some of the legwork in order to lose the "ultimate evil" moniker. Continuing to improve and tout the ESRB is a major aspect, as well as educating parents to the best of their ability. Also, educating the public about the different types of games is a huge obstacle. I see simple independant flash games and the likelumped in with the gaming industry as a whole too often. If some guy makes a tasteless murder simulator in his basement, it's not the same as a major studio spending millions developing a murder simulator. The major studio needs to be able to distance itself from those types of products, and that's going to require a bit of self-censorship. Games like "Manhunt" draw a lot of negative publicity, and it cripples the industry as a whole. I'm not saying games like Manhunt shouldn't be made, they aren't any different than a horror flick, but maybe the major studios should hold off on titles like this until they have a better relationship with the media and politicians. Games still need to find a way to attract a wider audience, too. Sure, kids play games and so do a lot of men in their 20's and 30's, but other demographics are not so well represented. Games like Rock Band and the Sims do a great job attracting new people, but those types are few and far between. The Wii might be the most important console to ever come out because of this.

Mass Effect
Wow, that's surprising because that alien chick will sleep with anything. I mean, I killed her mom and basically ignored her, and she still was all over me. It taught me a lot about women, actually. My new pick up line is "Hey, I used my big gun on your mom. Wanna see it?"

This story is really taking on a life of its own.

That's awesome news. I don't know if it will come to fruition, but at least EA is taking some action.

Hey look, Jack Thompson has an Intern!
What does this have to do with the Fox News story? I agree, the guy apologized and that's great, but the story is still hitting major news stations despite huge inaccuracies. I don't care if it's a liberal or a conservative, it's ridiculous that gaming is blamed for so many of societies woes, and it's insulting that they air these stories without a shred of evidence or research.

Driving Manual/Stick
It's hard to even find manual transmissions in newer cars here in the US. I'm sure they are in sports cars, but I avoid people who drive those things. I learned on a stick, and yeah, it's like riding a bike. Still, learning on an automatic is easier and with the way cars are going, it's probably all you'll need. My wife never learned to drive stick and it's never really been an issue.

R.I.P. Heath Ledger
It came up negative for any drugs. Most of the initial crazy drug stuff is being refuted. It looks like prescription drugs got him, but they'll do an full autopsy.

Anyone seen these shows?
I love the Big Bang Theory. It's gotten better with every episode.

Crap...I'm the same as Dark Raven. I never woulda guessed that.
