  1. So you do like the Ewok Adventure and The Battle for Endor!
  2. If you never know you'll never know.
  3. But you have to keep playing them! It's good for you and the industry!
  4. NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sony Pictures on Tuesday said it aims to deliver its new Blu-ray DVD format to U.S. stores on May 23 to coincide with the entry of compatible disc players, a new step in an industry war for control of home movie viewing. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and MGM Home Entertainment will first release eight Blu-ray titles, followed by another eight in mid-June. The first movie titles include "50 First Dates," "The Fifth Element," "Hitch" and "House of Flying Daggers." Blu-ray is locked in a multibillion-dollar standards war against a rival DVD format known as HD DVD. The technology companies supporting HD DVD, championed by Toshiba Corp. (6502.T), plan to start rolling out movie titles and disc players in March. Each side hopes to reignite a sagging $24 billion home video market with new players and discs that offer greater capacity and interactive features. Sony Pictures, a division of Japan's Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news). (6758.T), earlier this month disclosed pricing for Blu-ray format discs which amounts to a premium of about 15 percent to 20 percent to the current DVD standard. The company said on Tuesday that its target delivery date would coincide with the launch that day of the first commercially available Blu-ray disc player by Samsung Electronics Co. (005930.K). Other Blu-ray disc players are scheduled for release to market from Sony and Pioneer. ref
  5. What? Go out and play baseball, basketball and football games, now! :Darque:
  6. Candlelight? Not much point in an historical theme that doesn't stick to history ...
  7. Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday February 28, @03:30PM from the we're-going-to-have-to-ask-you-to-come-with-us dept. An anonymous reader writes "Adam Vitale, aka Batch1 aka Baxter, 25, of Boynton Beach, FL, and his partner Todd Moeller, aka M3rk, of New Jersey, are accused of sending nearly 50,000 pieces of spam e-mail to more than 1.2 million AOL subscribers. US Secret Service agents used a confidential informant to hire Moeller and Vitale to deliver spam, which advertised a computer security product."

  8. Is there some sort of anti-spam clause, so that the heroes don't get unsolicitored email when they register? And what happens to those whodon't register? Are they automatically classed as "villians" for being in breach? Tune in next time, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel ...
  9. But you have a drivers licence, don't you?
  10. What? I don't drink.
  11. As long as you don't rollplay Chaotic Evil as Chaotic Stupid, suicidally running headlong into every combat opportunity to commit homicide as broadly and deeply as possible. That's just silly.
  12. What?! You can't do that! I was contemplating buying the paperback version of the hardback book I just bought, so that I could read that instead of messing up my lovely hardcover ...
  13. Be quiet and get back to Morrowind, you.
  14. And, what's more, this is a perfect philosophical dilemma: neither side is "right", the world is just the facts that have to be dealt with subjectively. If only more films were as subtle and complex in their composition, whilst maintaining their pomp.
  15. Bridge on the River Kwai. Sir Alec Guiness and ensemble cast produce a complex (who said old films were simple?) and totally convincing experience. try as hard as I might, I couldn't see their acting and was enchanted by their performances.
  16. Yep, I wouldn't mind be Yul Brenner. Except that I'd be dead now, of course, and not able to write on this forum how I'd like to be him.
  17. Felicitous congratulations, Eldar; they look like happy people. Wasn't mead used as "daily bread"? That was how John Snow deduced that cholera was a water-bourne microbe, because everyone in Soho in 1854 caught it from the well, except those working at the brewery, because the brewing process actually sterilises the water. But why did you dress up as Fred Flintstone at a medieval banquet?
  18. We are very much alike you and I. Being able to enjoy different types of games just brings us more fun than others on this forum who are to narrow minded to expand their little D&D world. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, everybody get out there and play all those mind-broadening RPG games. Whether you like it or not! AND ENJOY IT!
  19. I didn't beat the first screen the first time I played Space Invaders (the last one surprised me: too speedy). :"> Mind you, I was only about eleven years old. Wasteland, eh? ...
  20. He he. It worked, Mr Chu! You posted the link so many times that I HAD to click on it and download the demo. Curse you, it looks really, REALLY GOOD. And I wsa going to write out my reading list instead ... " Are the other games RPGs / just as good?
  21. Didn't seem to bother the fat-necked mogul when he decided to make the films ...
  22. Something funny. Say something funny!
  23. That's like Yul Brenner. He did a stop-smoking advert for broadcast after his lung cancer death: "You wouldn't listen to me when I was alive, well now I'm dead. "Don't do it! DON'T SMOK'!" )
  24. What? No love for Arnie? Or even for Terminator?
