Lindros is done. He's always been over-rated in my eyes.

Heartbreak Ridge - First time I've seen it, and it was superb.

Yeah, you just have to really book it on the main quests and pretty much ignore the top ten pirate list. I think I killed a couple, and I did manage to get a wife and some land, but it took most of my career. Also, if you go the doctor route, you can stay healthy longer. I preferred the swordfighter route myself. I also didn't do this on the hardest difficulty.

I would call this pwnage. Absolute pwnage.

So...exactly what is that? I mean, does it have new fottage or anything?

Well, I agree with everyone that Ted Stevens is completely out of it, but the folks who use this as a chance to US bash don't know much about our government. And he may be the head of a committee, but that doesn't mean he really has power. Committees are a dime a dozen in Washington, as are politicians. He's just an old coot that Alaska has likely forgotten about.

I didn't read the 8 pages that somehow spurted from this thread immediately, but did anyone else think the combat looked like a standard shooter? I mean, can you pause and issue commands? What is the deal?

I enjoyed PotC 2. I have to say, my favorite character was the Commodore. I didn't really think too much about the plot because I was too busy being thrilled by the amazing visuals. Seriously, the movie was gorgeous, and not seeing it on a big screen is a big mistake.

Didn't we have this discussion already? Ted Stevens represents Alaska, the 3rd least populated state in the country. I'm more worried about that senator from West Virginia.

Well, if the movie puts the whole Catholic angle in from Hitman 2, it gives a bit more conflict. Blood Money (I still have a couple missions left) is much more about the money and nothing else.

I honestly don't think the headbutt is that big of a deal. It looked serious, but it's not like he started throwing punches. I've seen way worse stuff in hockey. The guy isn't even injured. It's not like he paralyzed someone. Bertuzzi should show up in the next WC and show people how it's done.

I'm not quite sure why folks are so hard on Vin Deisel. He's an action star, he's done some neat sci-fi stuff, and he still plays D&D. Here are some things to keep in mind when watching him. 1. He's a one dimensional actor. That's not a problem, as long as he stays within that dimension. 2. That one dimension is a tough guy character. If you go to see him giving an emotional performance, you will probably be let down. If you go to see him bust balls, you will find your expectations met. 3. He's not a writer or director. If the movie sucks, it's probably not his fault. A director needs to know how to use his actors. 4. Action movies are usually not plausible and rarely have thought provoking plots. When you go to see a Vin Diesel action flick, don't expect high art. Expect explosions and fight scenes.

http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/718/718176p1.html Lately I ignore most announcements for new RPG's, as they are either Diablo clones or MMO's, but this one sounds different. It looks pretty decent as well.

Christian Bale would be decent too, although I'm not sure how he looks bald. The guy who wrote "Swordfish" is doing the screenplay. I'm not sure how to take that. I remember it being pretty average.

What the heck does that mean? This looks like another crappy game to me. I'm sorry, but you just can't capture Xcom (UFO) without offering turn based combat. It is an intrinsic part of the game.

I agree Jason Statham would be perfect, but I'm not entirely bummed by Vin Deisel getting the role. Still, it's more about the director and writer. I'll expect the worst and hope for the best.

Man, I feel dumb for forgetting that link. Thanks for the help, it was a lifesaver, as I really needed some new artillery to take out Kingpin.

I was a bit shocked, but then I remembered he's been doing twp jobs for awhile now. I'd probably choose GMing over coaching as well.

Please tell me English is your second language, or you are in 3rd grade.

I've got a serious game of Jagged Alliance 2 going. I love the new patch that allows me to play at 800x600. I just ripped the kingpin off, hired Magic, and now I'm on the way to the hospital for much needed medical supplies. Hitman actually bled to death because I ran out of bandages. I also haven't gotten the Bobby Ray website yet...not sure why.

He actually signed a deal last year for a chain. It's supposed to be called "The Original Soup Guy". It's also supposed to show up in grocery stores, but I'm still waiting. He's a pretty interesting character in real life. He says that he hates Jerry. His words were something like "Jerry didn't make me, I made Jerry! I was already rich before the show!" He also says he tries to drive customers off, but it doesn't work.

Trevor Linden is stepping down as the NHLPA president. I can hardly remember him not being in that position. I wonder who will replace him? Among active players, I'm thinking Shanahan might fill the role since he did do that summit during the lockout. Otherwise I'm guessing it will be a recently retired player.

Oops, I tried to say the Robot. Uh...how do you know Nartwak? What type of dancing is he doing then?
