So I went back and searched for the old Rolecall thread and it was locked. I know being in the shadow of Halo 3 doesn't help matters but I really do miss the great ARS games we had going for a while. Halo 3 just doesn't do it for me like Gears did with respect to multi-player. Gears is still a great game and there no reason we shouldn't still be playing it (at least once in a while). So ...

Holy crap! Pure is awesome! Go to Gamestop and see if you can talk them into giving you the demo! They have demo discs behind the counter. The graphics are incredible. The gameplay is intense and fast. And the trick system is really good! Tricks build one one another. The more tricks you do, the more tricks become available during a run. And there is boost to make you faster. There are 16 ...

As many of you know, last year at this time I was working with a Realtor (Jenn) who deals strictly with foreclosed properties. This has dramatically expanded, with us currently having 40+ properties, plus me also working for an adddutional 3 realtors, my workload has dramatically increased. Additionally, Exick has other prior commitments that he's, well, previously committed to. Thirdly. ...

Sure it doesn't drop for another week+ but dammit, I need an outlet for my anticipation for this game. First off, if you haven't been to your local Best Buy - make your way down there because they should have Rock Band set up to demo with the drum set (except without the kick pedal), the Fender guitar and a mic. The guitar itself is very interesting and has a little more heft to it than the GH ...

I started replaying Fallout 2 recently and was supposed to be playing with the restoration patch installed. However, I didn´t install it properly and it never took effect. I didn´t really notice, because I never read the "new content" readme to avoid spoilers. Now I am 80% through the stock unpatched version. God, I am suprised I made it that far. So many bugs... In conclusion, I am an idiot ...

My wife posted some artwork to her blog recently in response to a series of posts from her friends about the presidential race, the conventions and the various self-described conservatives and liberals that populate the landscape. This is the artwork: Apparently there's a lot of unresolved sexual tension between Obama and McCain.

Reboot time! The first City of Heroes thread The second City of Heroes/Villains thread The new thread: CoX Forever (that title was never going to get mod approval ) Welcome to CoX v3, continuing the discussion of all things City of Heroes / City of Villains. To kick things off, here's the latest guide. Please include a link to this post in the first thread of each subsequent ...

i've looked up several walkthroughs and compared their map diagrams to the map i've revealed in the game, and they look the same. however, i'm of the understanding that to completely beat the game, you need 96 goals, and my save file only shows 93. what am i missing? --RC

Well my whole house just shook...looks like a ridiculously minor tremor. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqc...uakes/nc51207740. php

With the high cost of gasoline we are starting to hear more about alternative fuel automobiles. As much as I am thrilled that people are talking, I am concerned that no one is truly thinking through the infrastructure changes necessary to make the transition. Here is how I see the alternative fuel situation: 1). Gasoline/Electric hybrids: Best short term solution to help in conservation of oil ...

Granted, this may be a wee bit too early, but let get started - This thread is referring to not only the United States of America's election for the President for the year 2008, but also the election process in general. I presume any specific congress race can have their own thread assuming there's something exciting going on there. Here are the current candidates for the President (not quite...

US General Election - 2008, part 1 Other thread is getting full. McCain is speaking tonight, so here's lots of room to start or continue the fray! EDIT: htom, you should ask a mod to do this so that we can coordinate the closing of the other thread and get them cross-linked in first and last posts. -- QtDevSvr This message has been edited.

Current media reports have been saying that the vetting process for Sarah Palin was relatively quick. Why hasn't been gone into in any detail but with that in mind, what could have been missed? Daily Kos seems to have an interesting theory: her newborn child, Trig, isn't her child, it's her grandchild -- the son of her sixteen year old daughter, Bristol. They back it up with a number of ...
