That's a pretty heartwarming move by a group of fans. I'm still struggling to convince my wife that we NEED to go see it again on Saturday, but I haven't given up yet. Buffy was definitely a niche product. It managed 7 seasons because it was very well done, but also because it was on the WB and UPN. Buffy pulled in great rating for those networks, but if you put it on ABC it probably wouldn't have lasted. Not because it didn't have a decent qaudience, but because it doesn't compete with CSI and Law & Order. Remember that Angel struggled on Fox with basically the same audience. I loved Buffy, but it was a difficult show to sell to the mainstream. Serenity is easier to sell, but not if you piggyback it with Buffy.

The problem is that nerdiness has become so huge, it has split into separate factions. Star Wars and LotR are mainstream nerdiness. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Serenity have only reached a niche in the nerd community.

I think it should be. There are great WoT onversations going on. Post count is often used to measure a person's participation within the community. We might not remember every active person in the community, but we can look at post counts and see whether they are serious about being here or just dropping in to start crap.

Sweet, Kings Quest was remade recently! I bookmarked the page and I'll have to toy with them this weekend. I wonder if I still have to type everything in?

I swear we did this last month...Ultima 4 and Quest for Glory 2...and Xcom for teh win.

I just re-read the article. I'm not going to try an penetrate the End User Legal Agreement, but I'm pretty sure Blazzard has something in there to cover this. Again, I don't care. Why do you have your financial info. up while you're playing WoW? When I'm on WoW I don't run anything else. This is their tactic to keep cheaters out. It's worth it to me. It's not like they run the Warden all the time, only when I'm on WoW, so no one knows what porn sites I visit.

This is also the reason there are way less gold farmers and bot programs in WoW. I don't really care about the spyware they are using if it protects the game universe. It's not like they are going to screw over millions of customers. As for worries about Blizzard being hit by hackers to take adavantage of this, I'm guessing Blizzard has better tech people than most banks.

I remember Kindred. It wasn't half bad if 'm thinking of the same series. I wonder what happened to it...I think it was a Fox show.

Fable is definitely a role playing game. Just because it has an ultra short story does not make it a sandbox game. You choose how your character develops, you pick skills to fit your playstyle, and you even have choices on how to approach the story. It's not an action-RPG...there's hardly any action in it. BG Dark Alliance are action RPG's. I hate them, but I would still put them on an RPG list.

I just think that people have over-rated Kipper. For every Patrick Roy that is born, there are a ton of one season wonders like Jim Carey, Giguerre, Marty Turco...there are a ton who I can't even name (Who took Vancouver to the finals in 94?) Many of these goalies manage to have a decent career, but very few reach the top echelon. Kipper has a long way to go before he's earned a spot up there.

I would totally go to Blizzcon if I had the extra cash and the time to take a Friday off work. 1. You get to meet people you play WoW with. That's totally geeky, but now that I'm married I've embraced my nature and I don't care anymore. 2. You get a pass for a Blizzard Beta. Blizzard beta's are known to be seriously top notch, and difficult to get into. Both WoW and Diablo 2 were in beta for months running smoothly long before launch. 3. I'd get some swag. I love swag. $125 is not too much to pay for good swag.

I liked Fable. It was a fun 20 hours of gaming. I got to have 3 wives, full body tatoos, and I was able to brag about my greatness. It was a great start to a series, and if they released a few more games with the same mechanics and a different story, I'd buy them. Unfortunately, the Lost Chapters is not enough for me, and I'm not sure it did well enough for a true sequel.

Didn't anyone watch the Resident Evil sequel? It pulled in a decent gross, so obviously somebody went to see it. I liked it, and more shockingly my wife liked it. Milla Jovavich is very charismatic, and it was good action fun.

When I was young, I used to imagine that in death you would be given choices of what life you could live next, depending on how you lived in that life. I guess that's called Karma, but I was too young to think overly deep about it. I just wanted to be a vagabond in the Middle Ages. Now I'm pretty unsure about everything, except two things. I believe there is a higher power, and I believe spirits exist separate of a physical form.

It's halved if you buy it online.

Anyone else get a really bad picture when watching on the OLN network? The ice was so blindingly white that there was a ton of glare. I don't think it's my TV. I'm hoping they correct it quickly. I miss ESPN coverage already.

Does Kipper rhyme with Giguerre? Kiprusoff looked weak in the preseason, and then he got lit up for 5 goals last night. I just don't understand why everyone had him rated so high. He's still unproven in the NHL, and this is his first season as a starter.

I went to bed depressed. I forgot how my mood changes based on whether the Sharks win or lose. Ah well, it's still great to be watching again!

Resident Evil wasn't terrible, but until you start seeing major games with good stories, you won't see video game movies with good stories either. When you go to see a movie based on a game you should expect action fluff, nothing more. Uwe Boll is bad though, and he's making Dungeon Siege, which is another game with no story.

When Halo first hit the Xbox, it was pretty impressive, but Halo 2 was nothing special. Halo just had a good physics engine. Storywise it's nothing spectacular. I am intrigued to know Peter Jackson is directing. It could be a very good action movie. I'll probably see it just to support video game movies being made by decent directors.

Let's start some predictions... Sharks over Nashville 5-2 Vancouver over Phoenix 3-1 Edmonton over Colorado 4-3 Pittsburgh over NJ 3-1 Columbus over Washington 5-1 LA over Dallas 3-2 Anahiem over Chicago 2-1 That's all I've got time for.

This game really is vastly inferior to Battlefield 2. I'm guessing a mod will come out for BF2 that will be better than Battlefront 2. I can barely tell that I'm shooting people, the flight controls don't feel anything like flying, and the beta levels were all seriously small. I know this was just from beta, but it really lacked magic. I'm surprised the first sold so well. I actually really enjoyed Republican Commando, but they didn't do a ton of advertising for it. They're just riding the Battlefield coat tails.

I'd probably advise spending less time on forums if you want to do better in school. These things are serious time sinks.

10 million isn't a terrible opening. It's more important to see how it does in the next two weeks. It's not Star Wars or Harry Potter, so it needs to build up some steam before it can reach its peak. I think I heard someone say it needs to break 70 million to be considered a success. That's still possible.

I saw it yesterday, and I own the Season 1 Boxset. I was a huge fan of the show. I think my expectations were too high for the movie, because I left the theatre feeling a bit underwhelmed. It was a very good movie, don't get me wrong, but I didn't think it was the best movie I've seen this year. I think I just need to buy the DVD when it comes out, and rewatch it a couple times. I didn't like Army of Darkness when I first saw it either, but after the third time I as hooked on it.
