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.

What are you playing ...
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.

Elder scrolls IV
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.

9/11, Loose Change
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.

NWN 'DD mod' - Tyrans of the Moonsea available now
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'.

Geez, teams are wasting no time in signing players. I'm hoping San Jose inks Samsonov.

This really is the year of the defenseman. San Jose signed Curtis Brown. At first I frowned at this, since he was a bump on the Blackhawk log last season. But San Jose was super weak on faceoffs this last season. Brown is a face off specialist. Hopefully he'll get the rest of our centers on the right track. He probably won't get much ice time other than taking faceoffs.

Really? I haven't seen him play much, but I got the impression he could play wing as well. Huh, I don't know where I got that idea. There are still a ton of players out there, though. I'm guessing we'll see more movement this weekend.

NHL
I'm seriously being shocked by just about every signing. This is a total free-for-all. I though Jovo was definitely going to Florida, and I'm shocked that Boston was able to pull two huge talents. Looks like Toronto is busy as well. San Jose better gobble up at least one player. You'd think the opportunity to play with Thornton and Cheechoo would be good enough to attract a talented winger. I was hoping for Savard myself.

My first 360 game
The premium version is completely worth the extra moola. As 10k fist said, the HD is solid gold. The wireless controller, DVD remote, and headset are all worth over $100. And memory cards aren't cheap, so it's really pointless not to spring for the whole package.

Wanted some advice
There are quite a few schools popping up with the programs you are looking for. I'd imagine speaking to the university about your goals is your best bet. If they aren't taking the animation industry seriously, then they are a bad university. One great thing you can start doing as an animator is creating an online portfolio. Just add to it over the years so when you graduate you have a great resume. How comfortable are you with your art skills?

Defensemen seem to be able to stay on top of their game longer as well. When a forward loses a step, it makes it harder to get in scoring position. Usually the best older forwards become playmakers in their late 30's. They don't have the speed to break in like the young guys, but they can slow it down and hit those guys with the perfect pass. Defense is much more about body positioning.

Go to for what? Communications? What is the point of your post? Is this what you call communication?

What are you playing ...
I just completed the chaotic good quest I was sent on in ToEE. It was fairly anti-climactic. I was looking for these elves, of which there had been pretty much no clues. I stumbled upon them, let them go, and was suddenly done with my entire reason for being there. They didn't even tell me to continue through the temple. I have no motivation to continue. I'm happy fleeing the Temple and calling it a day.

I agree with Blood Money. Or even Oblivion.

At least you went down fighting. Isn't Lidstrom going to be old soon?

Welcome Back Moderator Eldar
Eldar's a great choice, but seriously, who isn't a mod nowadays? Oh wait...I'm not.
