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.

I think Roger Ebert wrote a pretty major article over this... I agree that not all games are art, but I also don't think that all movies or books are art. If something is interactive, does it stop being art? It's an interesting argument though. I guess it will be answered in about 50 years when game have a solid history behind them.

We could always take a vote on whether Jack is biased against liberals. Would that be the democratic way of doing things?

kumquatq3 does seem to be the oldest active poster.

I'm not sure what that has to do with this thread, but that's a pretty good amount of hours from an expansion pack.

Ah, Oerwinde was the Necro, but Dg defended it.

I agree entirely with Diamond. Game design is a young industry, so you have plenty of people involved with it without a formal education background. I imagine as it grows, a dgree will become more important. Now Shadowstrider made some interesting inferences, but I'll try and explain my point again. Let me start by saying the most valuable thing for any potential employer is real experience. But when you are 22, that experience is hard to come by. A 22 year old with ANY degree will look better than a 22 year old with no experience. Clearly, having a relevant degree is important, but I know plenty of people who are not using their degrees. They get in the door with them, and then they learn an entirely new skillset.
