Still playing Vanguard...I'm actually at 4 days, 8 hours of playing. I'm level 15 as a Ranger, which is a good place to be, as I can explore all sorts of great areas. I've also been working hard to craft myself some decent arrows. I'm currently a level 13 carpenter, but I think at 14 I'll be able to make decent arrows and get back to adventuring full time. Crafting is frustrating, but the rewards are awesome and it's somewhat addicting. There's an aweful lot more strategy behind it than any game I've played.

I call balderdash.

I think this poll needs more options. Does fantasy have to stand for medieval? What about a low magic medieval settings? Honestly I like any good RPG, regardless of the setting, but I'd like to see a few more futuristic settings.

I get that same thing whenever I end up sleeping on my stomache. I start feeling like I can't breathe well, and I'm not able to lift myself up. I have to kick my legs out until my wife wakes me up fully, allowing me to turn over. It's really odd, I know I'm not going to suffocate, but I just feel terribly helpless.

The Gollop brothers have a game called Laser Squad Nemesis that is play by email. It's a pretty solid tactical game, and they have competitive ladders and all that. I recently got an email about an update, but the play by email thing isn't my cup of tea. It seems to be the only thing they are doing.

My guess is it won't be TB.

You know, right now I'm working hard in a MMO to reach a certain crafting level. It's frustrating and tedious, as well as a bit buggy. But if it were easy and quick, I would not have a sense of accomplishment at the end. Eventually I'll reach a point where the sense of accomplishment isn't worth the work, and that's when I'll stop playing. I'm not sure what the big problem is.

I'm a bit concerned about the Forsberg trade, as he's a pain to play against and I was enjoying him being on the Eastern board. Still, this might hurt Nashville, as they gave up a solid player for one who may get injured at any time.

My favorite part of RPG's are when I start out as a barely experienced noobling. Once I become uber, I become bored. The problem is I'm so powerful in real life,that I really enjoy the fantasy of struggling to kill rats and large insects.

I just bought a widescreen LCD monitor and found out that BF 2142 doesn't support it. They have sai it creates an unfair advantage. That's insane, and I'm very disappointed.

Rage Against the Machine is also reuniting.

Hmm...bit odd that Phoenix sent Nagy to a divisional rival. I guess they don't think he's enough of a threat.

Stuart is a bit hot and cold, but he has the ability to be a premier point scoring defenseman. Primeau also is a very solid defensive player. It's funny how Darryl Sutter is basically bringing in all his old players from the Sharks.

Very Clockwork Orange

I think it's very important to play the game through without the 1.13 mod first. This is just my opinion, but the difficulty of 1.13 may put off folks who don't have much JA experience. Plus, it is buggy. I enjoyed it tremendously for a few weeks and I love that it gave me a new JA fix. However I did hit a few game stopping bugs. For a first time play through, it's nice to be able to carry the campaign through to completion. There's no satisfaction quite like the first tme you hit Diedrianna with a head shot. It's a bummer that the Steam copies are buggy.

So...does it bother anyone else that this thread begins "An user review"? It forces me to pronounce it oo-sir. Very disturbing for a a guy with such high standards.

Garcia broke his leg a couple seasons ago. He's struggled to stay healthy since he left the 49ers. Oh, his dad owns a condo in my complex, and he's the cheapest landlord ever. We made a push to get double paned windows in all the units, and he was one of the folks who refused to do the upgrade. Since all units need to look the same, we couldn't pull it off.

I haven't watched a lot of Rangers games, but it looked to me like Lundqvist really gave away the Detroit game. Jagr is also not as dominant as he was last season, at least statistically. It seems like they've got bigger issues than just the best left winger in hockey's history being bad for chemistry. I do think adding Avery is a plus, as the guy plays all out every shift and he might bring some needed energy to the Rangers bench. Honestly, the Rangers were also outplaying Detroit, even when they lost it in the third. They had numerous offensive chances, but Hasek stood on his head. So I don't think they are terrible, they are just facing a very competitive conference.

Are you talking about the 39 year old guy with 27 goals? Yes, I suppose being on pace for 40 goals is quite the suckage.

I agree that Octavian's new actor is a bit of a mismatch. It's hard to tell after only one episode though, and it was pretty necessary since having a teenager go toe to toe with Antony would be a bit silly. I'm also tired of the the two Noble ladies, but it is almost the end. It's like they are teasing us with almost killing them off each week.

Go buy Vanguard!

"An officer followed Capt Nowak and she was stopped allegedly carrying the wig, an air rifle, a steel mallet, rubber tubing, dustbin bags, black gloves and a knife." At least she was well prepared.

I watched NY self destruct against the Red Wings tonight. It actually was more like Hasek being insanely good and that Lunquist or Sunkist kid letting in a few bad goals. I thought it was a bit crazy for the Wings to bring on a geezer like Hasek, but he's proven me wrong.

Wow, I wonder if Sean Avery's hot girlfriend will follow him to NY. I've actually been impressed by his play in the few games I've seen this season. I think Avery could be a 20 goal scorer if he could stay out of the penalty box. He also seems to have calmed down a lot this season while still being effective on the ice. I hope he can carry that in NY.

Eh, English isn't really running the risk of becoming a dead language. The majority of people who come to the US, whether legal or illegally, want their children to learn English. That's one of the reasons they come here, to ensure that their children recieve an education and a chance at a good quality of life. People trash the educational system in the US, but it can be amazing to watch children whose parents only know their native language, thrive and become bilingual in public schools. People will keep learning English because it's a dominant language, and that isn't changing. It doesn't need to be enforced or official to make that claim. We have people on this board from all over the world, and yet we are using English to communicate. I'm not claiming English is better than other languages, but that's just the state of the world. On the other hand, I don't think that you need to speak only English to be an American. I think it's important to maintain that link to your cultural roots. My father-in-law was born in Mexico. He's proud of his Mexican heritage, but he's also extremely proud to be an American. In fact, I'd say he has more patriotism than I do, and I can trace my roots back to the Mayflower. Mexicans aren't going to swallow the US, but the more people try and resist Mexican Amricn culture, the larger the rift between the two sides will be.
