"Apparently all of MGM's 'theatrical wide screen' DVD releases for the last few years have been the pan-scanned versions with the top and bottoms cut off. I checked this against my copy of CQ, and it's true. The list (PDF) of butchered movies includes almost every Woody Allen film, Silence of the Lambs, and Ghost World, just to name a few. If you own any of the eligible movies, you have until March 31 to either opt to exchange your copy for $7.10, or a new DVD from MGM, presumably in its proper aspect ratio."

According to a Marketing magazine report, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) plans to launch a music service specifically for the PSP, which is expected to arrive in Europe and the US in March.
SCEE will put the delivery mechanism in place in time for the handheld console's launch, using it to allow users to download game levels and software updates. However, the system will be extended to music in the summer.
Hooray for the Big Four (Sony and BMG merged, remember?).
I can't figure out how to make a bootable Ghost CD-ROM with Roxio Easy CD Creator. There's an option to burn a bootable CD, but it makes me point to an image file. All I need is like 2MB of files on there (autoexec, ghost.exe, etc). I created a CD Image on the HDD with those files, and add them to the CD, but they show up as BOOTCAT.BIN and BOOTIMG.BIN. What's up?

Ninja gaiden is the most badass action game ever made. End of story.
I hope they do a ninja gaiden type game with batman one day :(
Also, burnout 3 is possibly the most fun i've had in a driving game since gt2. When you finnally "get" the game and start wipping the floor with people online and the ai.....man...feels so damn good to win. I can't stop pumping my fists in the air after some of those really good races where your just on fire. Agressive driving at its best, bar none.
Halo 2...this game is so polished, everything is detailed and has an air of finese. The multiplayer is borderline perfect, despite the idiots you run into. The single player is highly replayable and has a lot of nice touches you can really only notice after a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time through. The artwork in the game is just gorgeous. I can't look at the back of my limited edition tin without imediatly wanting to play, even if just for a little while.
Mercenaries is still incrediably fun, im on the last set of cards so im goofing off a bit since i've been plwoing through the missions (and having a great time i might add). Yesterday I air lifted a tank and dropped on a bunch of people. Another time I loaded a humvee with 8 demo charges and air lifted into a base full of north koreans...i landed my copter on a nearby hill and got out to detonate the jeep. It blew up a near by fuel dump which set off a chain reaction of explosions...everyone died :D Badass game.

I recall people saying that it wasn't very good or not as good as the first two.
Holy shit, I thought it was right up there. Everything from the opening moments to the very last scene were awesome.
Chase was great addition, he was like Jack's protege...the only character I couldn't stand was Chloe and I've caught season 4 on TV and noticed she was in it still.
Regardless, I was very, very, very impressed. Some of the best television ever.

One prospective missionary at the Landover Baptist Christian Academy says, "Most people who are mean, liberal, nasty, lonely, unsaved losers in real life choose to play the Horde (an evil race of characters in the World of Warcraft) and people and guilds who are conservative, Republican and pretty much easier to win to Jesus Christ with are found in the Alliance. That's why the real True Christians™ pick the Horde to play as characters and start their guilds in Horde territory because they like the challenge of sharing Christ's message in a perilous, lava-soaked, environment."

I tend to agree with the author and prefer the story, if there is one, to unfold within the game itself. What do you guys think?

I am a NE rogue (lvl 26). I have glowy eyes and cool crooked daggers, but I don't got the LOOK of a badass. I want to be a no-face back-stabbing murderer !! So okay, what I really need is to find out what I can wear on my head that will give me that bandana tied over the nose / mouth look. What head armor can I find / buy that will give me that look ? I've seen people of lower level than myself with that type of head armor, but I can't seem to find out what they're wearing.
I was looking at the Azure Silk Hood, would that give me the look I'm going for ?

Freaks and Geeks I had seen about five episodes of previously. It's a great show for slightly older folks who have vivid high school memories. It's really funny, sad, and touching at once (not gay;) ). For everyone who thought high school was shitty, this is your show. The characters are vivid and real, and the writing is excellent. It could be any high school in 1980. The D&D geeks are the best :)
24 is hooking me in again. Jack is a Junkie! But I've only seen the first episode. I can't watch this show over-the-air. One week between episodes is far too long!
