I bought Metalheart for that exact reason...but it's really not an RPG. It's just an exercise in horrible dialogue.

It sounds like Jagr played a solid game, but his teammates didn't help him much. Ah well, rest assured he's a lock for the MVP. He deserves it.

Is that the psychologist from Law and Order: SVU?

This game is waaaaaay overcooked.

Darque, if you read the original topic, you'd notice the person was clearly looking for a space sim. You threw out some strategy suggestions. That doesn't really make any sense. They are incredibly different genres. It's like if my wife told me to pick out a comedy at the movie store and I come back with a war movie... Actually, I do that all the time. Eh, carry on then.

The Olympics were awesome. I watched like 9 hours of hockey for a week straight, and there were some great upsets. If the players are willing to do it for their country, I say that's great for hockey fans.

I was at the Sharks game, and Lucky Luc's wife was about 6 rows in front of me. It was pretty clear who she was, they showed her on the big screen, and his son looks exactly like him. She was hot. It was a very nice display for his final game. It was a bit of a non-game for the Sharks, but clearly they were saving their energy.

A space sim and a space strategy game are extremely different.

Alan, sometimes it's like you are in my head...creepy.

I heard that X3 was actually awesome with the patches. That's probably your best new generation shot.

Time on the PK unit is a good indication, as that shows how much the coaches trust a player defensively. I know Thornton logs a good deal of PK time, not sure on Jagr.

Yes...and no.

I CAN DO THAT TOO! I can also lay flat on the ground on my back, and then lift my lower body and kick up landing on my feet! :cool: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sweet, we could start a break dancing session!

It wasn't my vote, but again, would there be a PS:T without BG1? I think BG1 is extremely important. It revived D&D games. I also enjoyed it more than BG2.

The one thing I wish I could put down on my resume is... I can hold my right foot with my left hand in front of me and jump through it with my left leg. I can also do it holding the opposite foot. I'd like to thank Kid n' Play for this talent.

I just saw a bit of the Postman, and it gave me a major urge to play Fallout. I wish I still had the CD's lying around.

Don't count yourself out yet! Carolina just tied it. If the Bolts don't get two points, they can still fall out of it.

I don't try to live a selfless life. I do, however, try and live a good life. By good, I mean helping others and not committing acts of evil. I don't expect others to respond in kind, but it is nice when they do. This helps me sleep at night, but I'd hardly call that selfish.

Not only did Jagr fall 3 points behind in the points race, but Cheechoo had a hat trick and is now two goals ahead for the Rocket Richard trophy. If I didn't know that Anaheim was fighting for a higher seed, I would think they rolled over on purpose. Seriously, they practically fed Cheechoo the open net goal in the last 5 seconds. The Sharks are playing Nashville!

Last time I went, we ended up with some crunchy pasta. It was pretty gross. Seriously though, the salt content is what I'm concerned about. Some of these freeze dried meals have just a load of salt. That can dehydrate you pretty bad, and make hiking pretty miserable. Also, stay away from the freeze dried breakfasts, bacon and eggs is not the same. I tend to live off oatmeal, jerky, and Gorp, which is a type of trail mix, but I'm hoping to do a longer (two weeks or so) trip in the next year or so. Maybe I'll test a few of these MRE's out first.

But do you think there would be a PS:T without BG and Fallout?

This was a tough choice, but I was really thinking about more from the perspective of "which game changed my gaming habits." It was a toss up between Fallout and BG because they really started a renaissance of RPG's. Would we have PS:T without BG? Would there be an Arcanum without Fallout? In the end, I chose Fallout, because it is the game that brought me back to the RPG's. NWN was close too, but I decided that the OC and expansions were less behind that than the steller mods and multiplayer community.

Hey, I noticed the MRE topic was closed for no reason, and I actually wanted to talk about it. I mean, this is the WOT forum... http://www.mreinfo.com/ Now these look like they'd be pretty solid for backpacking. I usually buy a few meals at REI or any other outdoor supply store, but they tend to be retched. Anyone know if these are better? I take it they last for years, so I'm thinking about ordering a case, since I go backpacking twice a year.

It's extremely unlikely that China could just knock out the US if it wanted to. One, it would be a massive military movement, much bigger than Pearl Harbor. That is pretty difficult to conceal from even the daftest intelligence agencies. Two, even though the US is disliked around the world, not many countries will stand for a full scale invasion. China isn't exactly liked more than the US. In fact, the US could probably get away with attacking China. Three, China has to know that a nuclear attack will lead to a nuclear response. It didn't happen in the Cold War and it won't happen with China. I'd worry more about Islamic fundamentalists, as they don't seem concerned with protecting their own assets.

We aren't getting anywhere on the Jagr/Thornton argument, because they are both simply awesome. However, I do think the East Coast bias exists. It's not even a purposeful snub. It's just the fact that you get more exposure on East Coast teams. The games are earlier, sportcasters see more of them, blah blah blah. Any sportscaster in the business will admit that they see way less of the Pacific Timezone teams. The MVP is also, sadly, a popularity contest. The player with more exposure will have the best shot at the award.
