by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 28, 2005 5:38am PSTThough I enjoy the game immensely, Dawn of War is one title where all the cutscenes should be CG. Though in-game scenes of dialogue aren't too bad, if there's any action involved it looks pretty silly. Especially at the end of mission 10 where there's a "fight" between two main characters. I almost laughed. But I guess the entire CG budget went in to that terrific intro movie. Movie: Cairo... that's in Egypt.

I'm pretty close to breaking down and buying a new mp3 player to replace my ancient Creative Nomad II ( http://www.nomadworld.com/products/Nomad2/specs.asp ). So far iPod Mini looks like the overall winner. However, if anybody can recommend any similar players, I'd really appreciate it. Here are my requirements:
1) I'm going to be using this thing during workouts, so some jostling will occur. Should I be concerned about hard drives holding up to 5-mile runs? That's the biggest concern I have with purchasing an iPod Mini.
2) I want a player that weighs no more than my current Nomad II (<= 88 grams or 3.1 ounces, without batteries). iPod Mini weighs in at 0.78oz / 22.30gr.
3) FM Tuner is a very nice-to-have feature. Any kind of sports clip or waterproof casing that allows me to work out with it is a nice-to-have.
As always, your advice is mucho appreciated!

I tried searching for "tmobile"+"92165xzxsb" or "motorola"+"92165xzxsb"
I even went to motorolas website and did a search for "92165" then "xzxsb" and did not find anything useful.
It is odd to me that phones and many other products are classified by the public "model number" vs its actual warehouse/from the manufacturer model number. Thank you all !

I get a note in the mail from them today saying that we are late in turning in a videogame. Now I'm about 90% sure I turned this thing in, so I had Mrs. Phil and the kids scour the house and they swear up and down that they put it by our front door for me to drop off on my way to work about a week ago (which is exactly what I was thinking).
So I call them up assuming this note crossed in the mail and they say "It's still out. We don't show it as ever being checked in." Bloody hell!
So what are my options here? Any of you guys ever work at Blockbuster and can give me some tips on what to say to the manager to make this go away?

Since I have a very weird sleep schedule (i go to bed around 4 am and school starts 2-4pm, work 8pm-2am) I bought WoW to kill some of the late night hours.
I know PvP revolves around levels and who gets the first hit in, but aside from that what class does well in PvP and is wanted in higher level groups? I guess I should say what classes are needed in higher end content since PvP seems pretty level. I'll be going PvP hoard.

I have a couple of questions.
1. Is it true the only place to get HD cords for the gamecube is straight from Nintendo?
2. Does anyone use a switch for multiple devices? The guy at gamestop had one for all consoles, plus a dvd player for $25 and said it was good, but I was hesitant to believe him.
3. Any recomendations for decently priced DVD players that can upconvert to 1080i?
I really appreciate any responses, I'm new to this HD stuff.

I have a couple new Dell's sitting here that need some insurance/VPN/antivirus/firewall installed on them. They have like 120 gig SATAs too, but they're stuck with one giant partition. Does Dell have any free software to break those partitions up or can I just reformat with the backup CDs and have an option to do a couple smaller partitions and install Windows on a system partition? Or would I be better off buying PartitionMagic and making the partitions that way? I'm probably going to purchase Ghost so I don't have to worry about reinstalling this crap every time one of the secretaries screw something up, but I wanted to know if I could go a cheaper way.
Wow... maybe I am a little too into SG-1. I don't dress up like a Horus guard or wear egyptian jewelry, so there's still hope.

He said that his group was in a major dungeon but they died, and there was a six-hour wait for it to open again! Six hours!
Not to mention you inhereit and experience debt if you die :(
He loves it though; he considers WoW more of a user-friendly MMO, which it probably is, since it's Blizzard and all.
But EQ2 just seems so...harsh. I've played a hell of a lot of games in my life, including some real tough bitches, but with a massive, I think I'd grow weary of a learning curve so steep. When you plan on playing a game for a couple hundred hours, you want to be frustrated as little as possible, and I think Blizzard understands this better than most studios.
Have they every made a bad game, anyway?

Or maybe it's that there needs to be a movie script made with some of their songs in mind. And not Uwe Bol. >:(
Some sort of cross between The Terminator, The Matrix, Equilibrium, (I've never seen more than a few mins of Blade Runner or Mad Max so I dunno if those fit here), and those Escape from LA/NY/whatever movies.

They added MORE servers now? Six more? Meanwhile their major servers still have queues?
Are they just crossing their fingers, hoping that people pack up and leave for less crowded patures? Why can't they add onto the hardware for the packed places? Is their infrastructure badly planned? Their code?
Is this too many questions? What do you think?

So the other night I posted looking for some good techno (for lack of an acceptable all-encompassing term) music reccomendations and the first reccomendation was DJ Tiesto, I promptly aquired In Search of Sunrise 1 from him and I absolutely loved it so my question is, what other artists would the shack reccomend in keeping with the same genre?

The stupid program is doing post processing, I can tell. The video looks like it's been run through a Photoshop "sharpen" filter and that they're trying to squeeze detail out where it isn't. I'm going to try reinstalling the old version of the TV app but downgrading is rarely plain and almost never simple :(
