by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 03, 2006 9:51am PSTSo far Rainbow Six: Vegas isn't really grabbing me like Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. However, I expect that now that I'm actually in Vegas (the game doesn't start there), things might get better. Also on FileShack

Yeah this is a Public Service Announcement:
I have been driving longer than some of you guys have been alive (20 years).. This are some of the things I have learned in that time:
1. Always check your spare tire pressure. If you don't have spare, get a latex + air sealer can (1 for cars, 2 cans for trucks (tires are bigger)).
2. Know how to change your spare. (you'd be surprised how few people do)
3. Winter driving: no, you can't drive like you do during the summer!!
4. If driving in snowy conditions, you'll want to have an emergency kit with you. This typically includes: candles, matches, blankets, boots, gloves, hat, small shovel, cardboard, chains, jumper cables.
5. Car maintenance: do it on a standard basis (btw 3-5000 miles for oil change, other levels when you get gas, brakes and transmission every 10000).
6. Windsheild washer fluid: carry a spare container.. can't tell you the # of times I have run out of 'smurf juice...
I'll add more as I think of them.

I just watched Magnolia.
I have never seen anything like it. I was so moved, so touched, so changed by this film...to me, it is by far one of the greatest films ever made.
Every story was so mature and round. Every performance was true and heartfelt. And the script was so brilliant, so full of pain and redemption...it was a work of genius.
If you have not seen this film, please see it. Do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece. I know I love a lot of things, but this...this is truly above.

I'm watching "The Amazing Race", and they go to Barcelona Spain.
I immediately recognize one place in Barcelona, but not from the Olympics or any other touristy type things.
Instead, I'm immediately drawn to those sweet white, curvy rails by the docks that they replicated rather well in one of the later Tony Hawk games.

Seriously, this is one of the greatest mods produced in the last couple years.
http://www.sourcefortsmod.com/
Its called sourceforts. Its been around for a bit, its simple but so deep at the same time. YOU MUST TRY THIS NOW.
Its Garry's mod + Team Fortress Classic.
TLDR: You take blocks and build a fort in a "Build phase" then fight it out and attack the other base. Its genius.

Yay I got a Wii! Stood in line at target this morning for a little under an hour, collected it and Zelda. Got home, set it up, played wii sports for about 30 mintues, and then went to work for 8 hours.
Got home, played around in the Mii channel and made a couple characters. Played some more Wii Sports, and then decided to give Zelda some proper attention.
Loads fine, created a profile, started playing and got to just after you get the sheep in the barn (maybe 5 minutes into the game). It's where the kids come looking for you and you are still sleeping. ----Disc Error.
Disc is brand new, not a single scratch.
Tried unplugging everything and power cycling as mentioned in another post, no change in the placement of error or type. Anyone else getting anything similar to this? Could it be a bad Wii or an actual bad disc?
Any and all ideas are welcome.

Lex Luthor. Or Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Or Lex Luthor as Kevin Spacey. One of these characters is very over-the-top, very campy, and far more of a psychotic, obsessive idiot than a cold, calculating genius. And because of that, the movie's plot is very much a letdown. A poor script could be the culprit, but I think Kevin Spacey's style of acting also lent itself to such a poor villain and such a poor villainous plot. I mean, real estate? C'mon, what happened to the mastermind that we knew, running Lexcorp as a front to build machines specifically trained to kill Superman? Where's that guy? Have they said anything about another movie?
On a sidenote, I am liking DC's movies much more than Marvel's. So far, the theme is substance over style, realism over ridiculousness. Is there another DC character on the horizon? I had heard rumors of Black Panther being made into a film (which would be crazy awesome, especially with Chiwetel Ejiofor, the assassin from Serenity, as lead).

I mean, it's one thing if it's different and appropriate ads, but freaking Axe OWNS Rainbow Six, and it is everywhere; in one level I even found a canister and went for it thinking it was a flashbang a Tango discarded :(
I don't even know what it is, except by finally seeing that canister (it's deodorant, right?); you'd think since they bought out every square inch of advertising space, they'd at least do it right? But no, it's just blurry JPEG-compressed chicks and the words AXE. Color me unimpressed.
Dear Axe: Your product whoring is a turn-off. I will not never, ever buy an Axe product. Whatever it may be.

Who knows how reliable this website is, but if it's true, I think that could be a very good thing. It'd be one of the first male love scenes that I know of in mainstream movies (although I'm sure it's already happened at least once or twice).

More importantly, however, Parallels now supports Boot Camp. So, you can use the same partition for both virtualization and dual booting. This way, you can run all your basic windows applications in OSX, then when you need some more "oomph" to play games, you can just reboot into pure windows.
Talk about ideal.

Costco has all HBO DVDs at a $20 discount right now.
Rome: Season 1: $ 45.99
Deadwood: Season 2 (they don't have the first one online, but they might instore): $45.99
Sopranos and others are available as well, and the instore selection will be better than their online selection. Seriously, these are great prices.
How does a head-to-head match between two human players work? The problem I am seeing is that one playing is going to be on the opposite side. How does movement from the Wiimote relate to what your character is doing? Is it reversed, so that inputting a forehand is still a forehand on your character?

For me it was Psychonauts. Other than that I can't handle the fact that so many games really push stories and character development aside.

Although, I must say, I still don't like the idea that there is nothing I work towards other than the best spells/gear. I mean the fact that I can basically go to any dungeon and finish it at even level 1 makes me kinda sad. I wish there were areas that I just cannot beat until level 20 or 40 etc.
Another thing I noticed, maybe its just me, but sneaking and backstabbing is way more fun than running into an area and bashing skulls or nuking from orbit. It adds a whole new level of gameplay to each dungeon when the player has to find the best way to take out the enemies in a room, while bashing and nuking is just the same old thing. Could just be me, though.
