    Well, sports cause emotional responses in both players and fans. You rarely see that in the business world. Arguing on these forums will not stop the fact that Oiler fans will now boo Pronger everywhere he goes. Heck, Shark fans have been booing him for years, and I can't even remember why.
  3. This is seriously making me want to get Eastside Hockey Manager.
  4. I only upgrade the sniper rifle and the pistols. I've been having a blast since I bought this game. I just finished the New Orleans mission and I was really surprised how much it felt like an actual crowd. Good times.
  5. Happy Fourth. Try not to start any fires.

    Joffry Lupul will surprise you. He had 9 goals during the playoff run for the Ducks.

    That's why I'm thinking Grier might find a place on the Top Scoring Line of Hockey. He's big enough to make some space, and Thornton doesn't need much to make the pass. It will be interesting to see anyways. Chances are he'll play with Goc and Neimenen on the checking line. That sounds like a pesky line to play against.

    I'm starting to see the wisdom in Edmonton's move. Those draft picks are pretty serious. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=170411&hubname=nhl Thank heavens San Jose finally made a decent move. I've always liked Grier. He might end up playing with Thornton and Cheechoo, although I wouldn't be surprised if the Sharks still sign a more offensive minded guy for that role. Finally, something for me to get excited about. edit: Hehe, Kor beat me to it.
  9. Hey all, I need a good fake news source. I'm doing a workshop on unreliable sources. It would be great if it was on religion in some aspect. I've already pulled something from the Onion, but I also need something that would likely fool a group of middle schoolers, and would be age appropriate. If you can think of any, I'd really appreciate a link. Thanks!
  10. Yes, watching little Sim characters eat, sleep, and pee is much less silly than sports management games.
  11. Games in general are silly.
  12. I would say most licensed games from movies suck, but some of the best games I've played came from licensed products. Heck, every D&D game is coming from a license. Now "Chronicles of Riddick: Butcher Bay" is largely regarded as on of the best uses for a movie license, so that alone will keep me interested in their next game.
  13. Your posts are seriously hard to read. Why do you use the ellipsis after every sentence? Do you understand the importance of writing skills within a professional environment? http://www.englishplus.com/grammar/00000138.htm
  14. It was a horrible mistake on Microsoft's part to split the userbase. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, although isn't Sony doing the same thing?
  15. I totally misread the topic here. Basically missed an n and an e.

    http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=170401&hubname=nhl What the hell? Anaheim? Geez, you think Edmonton would at least move him out of the conference. This sucks for me.
  17. "Exclusive great games"? I don't think a game needs to be exclusive to make the system worth buying. For example, if a great game comes out on the PS2, the Xbox, and the 360, chances are I'll be happiest playing it on the shiny 360. That makes the system worth it in my eyes. In fact, I think exclusivity is lame.
  18. That's nice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why bother even posting that? You realised you were wrong, why not just admit it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree with 10k fists. He's sharing his opinion. It's not wrong. If anything, you are nitpicking his posts to win some contest. His point seems to be that it's much cheaper trying out demos over Xbox live than renting games from Blockbuster. While the comparison isn't perfect, it's not worth busting someone's balls over. Chill out.
  19. Huh...mine has a stiker that says "Bonus Media Remote - Limited Time only" Sorry you didn't get one Bok.
  20. The bigger companies sometimes hire from temp. firms. That means when the game is done, you are out the door. It's pretty much an unskilled labor position.
  21. I just watched "Grandma's Boy" Now I must admit, I went in expecting very little. I thought it might be worth a few laughs. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It was like a Cheech and Chong movie for gamers. The whole plot revolves around a group of game testers. It was fairly realistic, although the game testers were treated way better than they are in reality. It wasn't that far from the mark in many ways. I'll go ahead and recommend it to any gamers out there. Don't go in expecting high art, but it is worth a few laughs.
  22. I've been trying really hard to like ToEE. I just hit level 5 and I'm starting to feel like a decent adventuring party. The combat really is amazing. It's a good diversion if I ignore all the plot holes and completely unfinished feel.
  23. Right, because I'm just imagining all the images on my TV screen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I own one, and I agree with Dark Raven. Times they are a changin' though. Like every console, the second year is when we get the flood of titles.
  24. He seems pretty real to me...and firmly planted in reality. Conspiracy theories are just ideas that people use when the truth is too simple. But that doesn't change the truth.
  25. Damn, I just deleted NWN a few days ago too. I figured with the sequel around the corner, I wouldn't need it anymore. Now I'm really jonesin'.
