You ever get the feeling Bob likes to snipe back at the people that snipe at him? (states the obvious) shrug. I'm actually under orders to go to the movies Bob likes (only reason I saw Repo Men), but in this case I think I'll make an exception. Comedies by and large aren't my thing. Haven't...

MovieBob was more or less right. Just got back from this movie. Not bad, but HARD TO WATCH. Wierd. I can watch violent movies where the characters shoot each other and be desensitized all the way from here to egypt, but make it a movie where the characters cut themselves/ea other, and it grosses...

Honestly, I just looked through the availables until I found one I liked. He's Red from Final Fantasy 7

Without going into detail - quite frankly, I wanted to like Soulstorm as much as anybody; possibly more so, but I think it constitutes a new low for the franchise. I finished the campaign at least once, and kept going because I still had warhammer on the brain, but I just got to the point where...

I'll admit it, he's seldom changed my opinion about games I know I'm gonna get anyway. (UG - how to describe what I'm thinking in a way that makes sense.) Yahtzee is an odd fellow. You don't have to agree with him, you don't even have to like him; but you have to admit, he THINKS about what...

Some people can watch higher def, others can't. I'm not the target market, I don't even have cable and my antenna tends to get snowy reception on everything but fox and nbc. It's been that way for years. So DVD quality is hardly a problem for me. Have I bought Blu-rays? Yes. Do I intend...

Ever wonder if maybe she knows? Perhaps I'm giving her a bit too much credit here, but for her to seriously believe a 370 year old ivy-league school would give her woman of the year, then show up late, and call them "hot", is a whole new kind of stupid that might not even show up on the...

It's not rocket science. Just google the Harvard Lampoon, we're not talking hardcore journalism. http://harvardlampoon.com/ It's a satire paper. >>>WIT<<< They're not serious. If Paris doesn't exactly get that, well, suffice it to say she's not the sharpest tack in the box.

Meh. Can't say it bothers me. In light of the smaller story, I mean, come on... It's MAXIM. When's the last time you met anyone who EVER gave them any credibility? When's the last time you met someone who said, "you know, I wasn't going to see that movie, but MAXIM had a good review, so it must...

I tell you the one that's near legendary in my mind was Undying. PC FPS Clive Barker was involved in a few years back. They did some masterful things with mirrors that to this day, still give me the creeps. I'm not gonna give out specifics though, because I don't want to ruin it for anybody...

Well, of course it's still relevant, but you don't read about that so much because it isn't really something that can be reviewed. Case and point, I actually downloaded a utility that changes icon shape on the desktop. I actually stared at it, and fiddled with it, putting little...

I can honestly say, my favorite in recent memory was Gears of War. Berserker. I knew it was gonna come through the wall, I guess I just figured I could time it differently, or I didn't really care. Either, I just tucked and ran. The timing was perfect, sucker came bowling through the concrete...

Seconded. I find it curious that we even NEED an etiquette, but clearly we do. And it is pretty hypocritical of me to believe I'm any better. Last time I experienced something similar, my gut reaction was "Whoh"; and I did have to bite my tongue. Ever consider that maybe it's a self-perpetuating...

Work issues aside, my primary vehicle of choice is leopard. It's true my most frequently used laptop is still running tiger, but I doubt it has the system resources for leopard. I keep XP around for the time being, but I really only tolerate it for games.

I can honestly say, this is a curiously fascinating subject to me. I wrote an essay of my own on the subject once, but I think I can understand to a degree, all sides of the debate. The evil side = I don't quite understand why women in games resent the notion that they are rare. Even if it is...
