  1. The 'Yotes just gave away Nedved to the Flyers. I'm not surprised, but if Nedved remembers how to play, that will make the Flyers even more dangerous. I'm a little surprised they got almost nothing out of the deal. They got a guy I've never heard of who has 7 points this season. You would think a former superstar would have some value.
  2. FYI:To be specific the japs lost 39 planes.next off the war ended 4 years later after brutal fighting.finally it is a great game and im pretty good at it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 4 years of brutal fighting? You must be a history professor, can you tell us more about it? I hear it was a long time ago. Were you alive back then?
  3. It's a fairly different type of game, really. I'm going more off my past experiences with the two series, but Civ is much more involved with economics, diplomacy, and moving along the technology tree. HOMM is more of an exploration and city siege game. You send out a hero with an army, explore and gather stuff, and then attack enemy fortresses. I'm over simplifying both games, but that's the gist of it.
  4. I would really like to see the guy from The Professional (Leon) face off against Janet Reno. That would be epic. Hearing all this talk about Nuclear retaliation makes me think of Fallout. I'm pretty sure this type of reaction to terrorism would be a great catalyst for a bit of apocalypse. Time to stock up on the ju-ju fruits.
  5. Wow! Realistically the Japanese only lost 30 planes during Pearl Harbor. Did the war just end right there when you hit 80? The Japanese also only launched about 300 planes in two waves, so you managed to cripple almost a 3rd of their forces. This game sounds excellent, I think I'll pick it up and try to be more like you.
  6. I really don't know what I'm talking about with the coolant. Personally I just buy whatever fan fits, but haven't used AMD in a long time.
  7. They are also probably looking at a minimum security prison. I don't think it's a Federal, which I hear is the nicest and it's the type Martha Stewart was in. If it's a State minimum security prison, they should be fine if they don't cause trouble. Most people in those prisons are on short sentences, so they don't stir the pot. I'm not saying it's easy, it's just a tamer hell. San Quentin is a maximum security prison, and the majority of the felons are going to have a record of violence. Unless the two do something bad in prison, they should avoid a place like that.
  8. Just pump coolant into your computer. It's much neater looking than a fan.
  9. Does anyone remember Myth by Bungie? It was a great real time combat game. I don't consider Total War or Myth style games RTS because they don't have any unit building or resource gathering. They are just about formations and positioning. I'm pretty excited about the chances of Medieval TW:2. If anything, the single player campaign will be nice to play with the updated graphics engine.
  10. This is actually the 4th or 5th time she has filed a fraudulent lawsuit. Over the years she has attempted to do this to other companies, although this was the first that got so much national attention. I think they deserve the sentence. Chances are they will serve 4-5 years each. It wasn't just the finger case that they were convicted on either. This couple spent years of their lives trying to con money out of people and other companies, and now they get to spend a few years behind bars.
  11. I'm looking forward to trying this. I feel like I got burned with HOMM IV, but this looks like a possible redemption. I'm glad they are offering a chance to try before I buy it too.
  12. Why would there be? The shell casing is not the projectile, its the casing that holds the gunpowder and is ejected from the breach. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When someone gets shot, it tends to leave blood behind. The casings should be near wherever Michael was firing from. If Michael was hit, the blood would be there as well.
  13. The point is there was no blood around the area of the shell casings. I like the dirty Santa theory. Maybe they are interferring with Santa's workshop. He's just trying to protect Christmas. It explains why they kidnap the kids.
  14. I only stayed up for the first period of the Oiler/Sharks game, so I'm actually surprised they took it to OT. Damn, the Sharks go 9-1 against the East but they can't win a conference game to save their lives. Ah well, sounds like it was a good game. Now the Sharks are 7 points out, but they have 3 games in hand against almost every team. I really want to see the Avs fall. It looks like the Kings are going to struggle through the second half also. I don't care who falls out of the playoff picture, as long as the Sharks take it over.
  15. She (Jack's wife) didn't mind his profession when it restored her ability to walk, and I doubt her teachers salary paid for that nice house she had to herself. She is a horrible person.
  16. I've cheated my way through a big chunk of that game, but it's seriously endless. I also get nauseous if I play for more than an hour.
  17. As Penny Arcade stated...it's not quite witchy enough. Actually it has really shaped up to be a beautiful looking game. It does seem a bit too much on the action-RPG side of the fence. Hopefully it will be a decent game, but I don't see it as revolutionary. My expectations are higher for NWN2 and Oblivion.
  18. Ok, I only played it for a bit because I actually hate RTS games. It's actually very awesome. It's very cinematic, there's actually a button you can push that goes into a movie type view. It seems like all the RTS conventions are well done. It's hard for me to judge because I don't like the genre, but it seems like a very good use of the Star Wars universe.
  19. 30 minute download thanks to my cable modem and a Fileplanet subscription...installing now.
  20. I finished Speaker, but it was so tedious I never read Xenocide. Ender's Shadow is the real sequel in my eyes.
  21. I thought Red Eye was good as well. I watched Mindhunters recently. It was bad, but there were some really cool parts. The actual setting is pretty interesting, and LL Cool J is a decent actor in it. It was still bad, but if you can't rent anything else, it's better than some of the crap.
  22. Ok, I finished it a couple weeks ago, and there was some awesomness mixed it with concern. The two characters I really enjoyed throughout were Arya Stark and Brienne. I also found myself really liking Jaime, even though I hated him in the other books. A few spoilerish concerns:
  23. That's quite a commitment. I just finished the entire Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell. Good historical fiction.
  24. Sharks play Edmonton on Thursday. This is an important one...San Jose can get into the playoff picture or drop 7 points out. I like the Oilers (I'd rather the Av's take 9th) but I'll be rooting for my Sharks tomorrow.
  25. I watched the first seson religiously. It was awesome...until they killed his pregnant wife in the last episode. That was a bit over the line to me. I haven't been able to watch it since. His daughter is gorgeous.
