Couldn't the problem you're having been attributable to getting red rings (ie they were an early sign the 360 hardware was about to fail)?

Ben: "So Hurley, what is going to be your first order of business?" Hurley pauses and thinks about it. "Dude, we need to find out if I can get back to 1977; I never did complete my version of Return of the Jedi without Ewoks." Ben facepalms.

I've been playing it off and on (not much time for gaming atm) and its truely a nutty game. Several laugh out loud bits but also kinda creepy when it needs to be. Controls are crappy, but oddly not so awful as to make the game unplayable.

lol Can anyone think of a man who handles sex with maturity? What does it mean to handle sex with maturity? What does it mean to handle sex? Sounds a bit like you put it in a box and are shipping it by FedEx somewhere. *ba-dum-tish* Seriously though, I think the problem with sex is that people put too much importance on it. Its this thing that people don't talk about in polite conversation (even with their sex partner!) but at some level most people want it and think about it and (as teenagers) obsess over it. And so it becomes this event that societally is seen as important and serious and yet is really neither.

*ponders whethere it is worth it to try and go into European government in order to get an Ipad*

I guess Gnosticism was influenced by Zoroastrianism. But basically the reference to Jacob and the MiB being twins, one good, one evil. Then they go on about Jacob being the Demiurge, the flawed yet good intentioned being of which everything is attributed to. They called it the Gnostic Wet Fart Ending. Can't say I agree; I don't really think Jacob is the cause of everything. He's another link in the chain of connections that bind the group together. And arguably Jacob can be seen as just as evil as MiB.

Zoroastrian? Seemed vaguely Buddhist to me (Jacob: "It only ends once, everything else is progress"; the losties all get reincarnated into similar lives until they are (re)awakened at which point they step off the Bhavacakra together at a predesignated place)

Enjoyed the end. It totally was not what I expected and yet it fit entirely with the show.

And that's what I think is cool - people who want it can have it, people who don't don't. Cool stuff.

I hated dealing with food/drink/sleep in old skool games, so I'd be loathe to advocate its return. The "feeding mechanic" in Mask of the Betrayer is one of the reasons I never finished that game. If I want to die of starvation, I'll play Oregon Trail, thankyouverymuch.

You mean Kali because Shiva is a man. I think a lot of the Hindu deities get portrayed as multi-armed; I've seen four armed pictures of Saraswati and of Lakshmi, and Mahu Saraswati represented with 8 arms. I think it usually represents the deities connection with other deities who represent different aspects (or incarnations?) of the same being.

We know that the Dharma Initiative could get on and off the island pretty easily, so we don't actually know if Horace and Amy conceived Ethan on the island or off the island - Juliet seemed to think this was an important distinction (and Alex and Aaron so conceived and their mothers all survived the childbirths). I don't think anything we know allows a conclusion one way or the other.

Jamie Foxx (born Eric Marlon Bishop) took his stage surname as tribute to comedian Redd Foxx (born John Elroy Sanford) who in turn took his stage surname from Jimmie "The Beast" Foxx, Philidelphia Athletics/Red Sox 1st Baseman from 1936-1942 I'm so into you Thanks for the compliments. Is that good or bad? Also, minor correction The Beast was with the Athletics/Red Sox from 1926-1942 apparently.

Don't know about the first GoW, but about a year ago I played a little bit of the second game at my friend's house (which was fun), and I just watched the first 15 minutes (2 videos) of the third one. Looks like an epic interactive movie, can't say for sure without playing, of course... Guess you don't like hack & slash... I love Hack & Slash games, to be honest. But GoW just...I mean I love games in greek mythology, I love bashing buttons. I'm not so keen on jump puzzles, but overall I SHOULD have like GoW. But I never felt involved and after the novelty of the gore and nudity it was like...no reason to keep playing. He kills a couple of heroes (Which is par for the course) And, of course, sleeps with Aphrodite. Still they should have spent more time making kratos seem a BIT sympathetic at the beginning of the game. Why are you discussing the story? Just look at the gore wave your tongue and forget about the plot holes. Ps.On GOW IV you tackle hindu mythology with over 100,000 deities to kill. Have fun. After he killed them, wouldn't they just reincarnate?

I never finished the first GoW. Thought it was a terribly boring game.

Arguably this change started two-three years prior to FISTFUL OF DOLLARS as Michael Carras' 'Savage Gun aka Tierra brutal introduced a different take on the American tradition often considered the prototype for the Spaghetti Western. A British-Spanish coproduction it featured a anti-hero gun-for-hire (played by Richard Basehart) and was the first to use Almeria, Spain as its location (where many Spaghetti Western films were made). That said Fistful of Dollars clearly is what popularized a particular type of western in Europe and changed how the US saw and made westerns (although, even there people like Sam Pekinpah had began changing the western in the US famously fighting both US TV and film producers in the late 50s and early 60s)

Ah, but what if Jack and Sawyer got into a fight over Kate and *Kate* got Smokiefied...?

I'd remake the Dark Crystal as a short film where the gelflings are destroyed quickly and efficiently by terminators. They're not remaking the Dark Crystal, but there is a sequel in pre-production...

I wondered about that too, since the Button Gwinnett wig essentially seemed to show the engine could do ponytails for example. While short hair for men and women were "in" in the 50s, it seemed odd to leave out the ubiquitous ponytail (could have used some poodle skirts too but that's neither here nor there... ) I dunno, I could see critical failure doing damage to the weapon as viable in an action game ("not only did you miss with the sledgehammer, slamming it into the ground damaged it"; "your gun jammed!" etc.) but I don't think its something I feel strongly should be there (and probably not really something worth the time to add it, IMO).

I'd disagree, but then I didn't feel any of the episodes were filler.

They said before the season started they'd only answer the questions that were important to the characters.

In this day of computer technology, its possible to mitigate the problems caused by Texas' nonsense by schools that don't want to teach Texas' version of the curriculum. So while still an issue its not the same as it was 20 years ago.

I've never expected to have all the answers from the show, so I guess that's why any dangling plot ideas or unexplained bits don't bother me in the least.
