Oh, the sewer scene from Vampire: Bloodlines, where the bloated cop was hung from the meat hooks. I actually thought he was the security guard from earlier. I was kinda attached to that guy. It was just a real creepy area. And when I beat the swordmaster of Melee Island. All I got was a lousy T-shirt.

I just started up a new game of Wizardry 8. It still looks pretty good. I forgot how charming this game was...any game that lets you cast insanity on a group of roaches and watch them dance is alright by me. I also picked up Gothic II, but so far it hasn't pulled me in. It's a it awkward on the controls. I need a tutorial.

Zelda has nothing in common with Oblivion and NWN2. You can make a slight connection since they have a fantasy setting, but they don't reach the same audience or have any gameplay similiarities. Zelda is made for all ages, NWN2 and Oblivion are made for an older demographic. *Edit: It's like saying there's a new type of ice cream coming out, and worrying that it will interfere with cookie sales. Zelda is ice cream. Now I need dessert.

The US also has a pretty effective balance of power. You might see the Executive branch and Congress gain power after a serious incident like 9/11, but eventually the Supreme Court will step in and lay the smack down. It makes it hard for things to really spin out of control. Look at the reaction to Nixon. He was using surveillance to help win the election, but eventually it goes public. The US has a very intricate politicial structure, but it's survived some major issues over the last 230 years.

That kid must play WoW. Seriously, it would have been more entertaining if I knew what he was saying.

Maybe I was niave, but I really was shocked when I found out who I was in KotOR. That was an excellent moment. Old school wise, the whole rush to get off the spacecraft in the original Space Quest. It's been done to death by now, but that was an excellent moment.

I have this gamesite bookmarked. I'm keeping an eye on it. It dosn't look like it has a real experienced crew working on it, but I definitely like the concept. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hmm, I only played the 1st one, and it was years ago. I thought it was turn based, but I could easily be wrong.

Whoa, that girl really is gorgeous. I think I might have a chance, too, those male figure skaters look pretty dainty. Except Brian Boitano...he can kick butt, I hear.

Peter Forsberg has always been a strong advocate of representing his home country over the NHL. He seems to only play in the NHL because he can use the money they pay him to help his hometown. Of course he wants a Stanley Cup, no one likes to lose, but I think he wolud much rather win Gold for his country.

Those letter books that taught me how to read were pretty important.

I know a lot of people who enjoyed BG: DA, whereas I've never heard of a Lionheart fan. DA was just not an RPG. It was an action game built for the console audience. Personally I hated it, but it was what I expected.

I keep hoping Germany will be more competitive soon. They've got some real NHL talent on the roster now, but Hecht and Sturm are injured. I'm hoping in 4 years they'll be able to pull even with Switzerland.

It's a turn based strategy game, kind of a mix between Civilization and Risk. I played the 1st one and enjoyed it. It had a lot of actual history in it. It's been awhile, but I think events followed a historical timeline, unlike the research of Civilization.

Have you been watching the Olympic games Volourn? The hockey seems pretty real to me. There is some awesome play happening.

Shopping Malls often do have cameras, and I think that's fine. For the apartment cameras, are you sure he didn't mean in the common areas? Also, if someone is on probation, a camera in the house doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Eh, the guy is just a police chief, that's not going to lead to any laws being passed.

Honestly, I was initially ticked off about the Olympics putting the NHL on hold. But now that I've watched a few games, I can say that it really is a special event. Now that there are more than 2 competitive teams, it's a very special tournament. It's also only a problem every 4 years.

Is this Tuumo Ruutu's brother? Jagre has always been a pretty tough guy, so I'm glad to hear he's ok. There has been some excellent games so far. I'm amazed at the competition level, I just wish Germany could get up there. Switzerland has arrived.

Most guilds are created for idiots. Have you ever seen a raid guild? It's basically an idiot savant leading a bunch of idiots. He's a savant because he somehow convinced people he knows what he's doing. He does not.

Name: Rodrigo Game: RIFTS Occupation: Assassin Rodrigo was my longest PnP character. He was basically a great shot and he had some excellent gear. He was outfitted completely with some alien tech (Narubi?) but I can't remember the name because it's been years since I played RIFTS. He had a plasma rifle, stealth armor, a jet pack, and always a briefcase sized bomb in case it got hairy. Against large creatures like Gargoyles he would zoom in, place a charge, and zoom away like a gnat. He also got pretty good with his plasma sword. I think I was level 10 before our group broke up.

Wow, you really make it sound like the entire world is cracking under the pressure of Gay and Lesbian rights. This is a group that faces open discrimination, and this is a very tiny battle towards ending that. I also never said Blizzard agreed with me. They sided with me. They are a company, there are probably a multitude of opinions within the company. Sincerity is not important in a business decision, only the final outcome.

Wrong again, it wasn't the usage of the term 'gay' that sprang Blizzard reaction, it was the whole idea behind the guild, which has no place in the game and therefore is against the rules. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This argument has now officially gone in circles. It has already been explained why this guild was necessary. Blizzard originally agreed with you, but now they have conceded and issued an apology. You have your opinion, we have ours, but unfortunately for you Blizzard has sided with us.

If Switzerland beats Germany, they will actually be the 2nd seed in their bracket. That's unbelievable.

As I'm watching Switzerland beat Canada 2-0, I think it's a good time to say Pronger has no self control, and Bertuzzi is a goon. They should have take Shanahan. Who the hell is Paul DiPetrio?

I was pretty disappointed with the anticlimactic ending. I understand that was the point they were going for, but I like actual endings in movies. Bill Murray was also a bit unbelievable as a Don Juan.
