Game tends to be worth it on the cut scenes alone.

I actually think we no longer need house phones. If you get a good cell phone plan, it's a better deal to just use that. Unfortunately reception is not perfect everywhere. My house actually has horrible reception, so we are forced to use a land line. I also ignore my phone all the time. I think more people need to learn to do that. Of course, my wife calls 4 times a day, so that gives me a good reason to not pick up.

Stephen King is an amazingly disciplined writer. He's may not be the most talented guy in the writing world, but it's tough to find anyone as consistent. He is a publishers dream writer, always productive.

That's the thing. Hockey, like basketball, isn't very conducive to performance enhancing drugs. They might help a bit, but hockey players aren't trying to develop raw strength. Baseball players can use it to improve hitting, football players use it to overpower people, sprinters use it to build leg muscles. But hockey and basketball (and soccer, I suppose) require a combination of dexterity, agility, strength, and endurance. Most performance enhancing drugs boost one but sacrifice another.

I buy a hockey game every year, and that's probably been my favorite type, but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of NCAA and Madden football. They are just super high quality. What I really enjoy is the franchise mode, and drafting future stars. I honestly spend more time simming and drafting then actually playing games.

I gave a 4. I probably would have given a 3, but he got shot 8 times and lived, and that's pretty cool. Cool enough for a 4.

They are trying to tie Tochett to organized crime. Gretzky's wife isn't really in legal trouble, the police have already stated that she's more of a witness to the betting than a ringleader. It's the people who organize the betting that are looking at legal troubles. The NHL has also already stated they won't be involved at all. None of the gambling was done on hockey games. Still, it definitely looks bad, and the media is going to town. I also read a few very negative artcles about Theodore and Propecia. Geez, give the guy a break, he's losing his hair.

I'm pretty sure a thumbs up doesn't equal best film ever. A thumbs up means the film was watchable. Walsingham said Oceans 12 was entertaining, and I agree. It's a fun movie. It's not high art. Minority Report was also very watchable. It wasn't awe inspiring, but I thought it was interesting. Honestly, it's all in your expectations and personal tastes. I didn't personally enjoy the first two Harry Potter movies, but that doesn't mean they were horrible movies. They just didn't meet my expectations.

I gotta say, Charlie is a lot easier to handle when he's super dark. I'm still not sure how having a gun stash makes Sawyer powerful...he's gotta sleep sometime. Anyone notice Sawyer's girl was the high priced prostitute in Deadwood? Took me half the episode of scratching my head to place her.

Mos Def has become a very good actor. I'm excited to see the movie he's doing with Bruce Willis.

I always wondered what the Bioware forums were for. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pure Genius! :D

That is the most perfect review of Wizardry 8 I've ever heard. Other than that though, genius game.

Ok, so your argument seems to be that spoken words with rhyme and rythm constitutes poetry and not music. If I give you that, will you admit that when they put a beat in it becomes music? edit: clarified

So according to the definition, Trueneutral is using music when he quotes Doc Holliday. Good job music man. Seriously though, the music industry says it is music. I'll take their word on it. Edit: Someone define definition for Trueneutral.

I've never gotten a warning. Perhaps I should cause more mischief. Seriously, stop pimping your forums on someone elses forums.

It's very cool, but its only online play, unless they implemented a single player campaign. I played when it first came out. It's pretty complex, I got wiped out quite a few times. Grenades are very unpredictable.

I agree that there is some truly atrocious "sampling" going on, but that has been happening for decades. Many of Led Zep's hit songs are taken from classic blues songs.

I've been watching this too. It will be interesting to see if they can pull it off. They've been calling it a MMORPG with TB squad level combat...which has never really been tried, that I know of.

The entire music industry agrees that it is music. I'm guessing they are right.

Nice job Pix Rap is music. You don't have to like it. If a vocalist goes on stage and sings without instruments, it's still called music. Rappers may not hit high notes like a singer, but they use rhythm and voice inflection to create melodies.

Hehe, now we have three threads to choose from.

Dang, all that quoting you did too.

Random factoid: Emilio Esteves is the brother of Charlie Sheen and son of Martin. Esteves was dropped by Martin and Charlie for the more "Hollywood" name Sheen. I think. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I believe you are right. I think there was also some parenting issues that caused Emilio to stick with the name. I think there were different mothers too.

Yeah, didn't Martin Sheen have a serious heart attack during filming?

I had totally forgotten Star Control 2. There were some great characters in that game. I remember the ugly race that constantly spewed insults at you in particular.
