My first 360 game
I agree it's rather small for this day and age.

Need an unreliable news source
That might be what I need to do, although I'm using the Rockall times as a fun example for the teachers workshop. Thanks Steve and Insomniac. Hades, I agree with you, but I don't think the kids would get it

I'm working with teachers on how we can improve writing in our schools.

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.

This is seriously making me want to get Eastside Hockey Manager.

Hitman: Blood Money
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.

Happy birthday, America!
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.

Need an unreliable news source
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!

Yes, watching little Sim characters eat, sleep, and pee is much less silly than sports management games.

Games in general are silly.

the Darkness
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.

Masters in CS
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

My first 360 game
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?

Pennies - obsolete?
I totally misread the topic here. Basically missed an n and an e.

Elder scrolls IV
"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.

My first 360 game
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.

Huh...mine has a stiker that says "Bonus Media Remote - Limited Time only" Sorry you didn't get one Bok.

Game Tester
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.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
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.
