Please, won't someboy think of the children!

The same thing I always expect: global American supremacy!!!!!!!!!! Muwahahahahaha! We suck at soccer.

Geometry Wars is still one of the best 360 games. Fun is fun.

Gearbox got CS:CZ yanked from it in a bit of unfairness that resulted from Valve not paying attention to the development of the game. It went like this: "Awesome game, guys!" "Awesome game, guys!' "Awesome game, guys!" "Awesome game, guys!' "Awesome game, guys!" "Awesome game, guys!' "Awesome game, guys!" "Awesome game, guys!' "Oh wait this isn't what we wanted at all. Sorry, we're giving it to another company! Ciao!" Now I remember when we first met. It took us less than 24 hours to get drunk on Guiness and hit things with golf clubs. Ahhhh the olden days.

Don't know, don't care. Life moves on.

Possible Germany vs France final..... that would certainly raise some interesting crowd and hooligan responses.

Enjoy your snow and real winters. We're chillin' down here with a nice 5 month fall that transitions nicely to spring.

The flag is a symbol for our freedom to speak and act freely, even if it might offend somebody else. Thus it is a symbol whose strength is that allows itself to be destroyed. It's called a paradox. Some people are simple minded and don't understand that it's a paradox. This scares them, so they write flag burning amendments to prevent themselves from having to think.

Turtle Rock did all the Source maps. Gearbox and Valve.... don't... play well.

Ugggg, drivable vehicles. The only joy I'd get out of those is the fact that stupid CTs would spend so long filling up the APC that it wuold give me time to hide outside with a auto-shotty and HE Grenade. Wait for 'em to drive by, toss in the nade, and then do a run by after it goes off. My record to this day is still getting 6 kills in under 3 seconds doing that. I miss Siege.

my crappy hldm map is too small for people

haha they always do that when they lose. fucking argies Hehe, reminds me of Fuckin' I-Tys

Somebody was trying out some "Yo momma" jokes... http://espnevent1.espn.com.edgesuite.ne ... s_cup2.asx If anybody wants to watch UKR-ITA

Beta 1 playing cs_mansion trying to figure out which type of ammo went with which gun.

As per all the tribalism/regionalism stuff: For both Israel and Palestine, it is impossible to divide national identity and religious identity. To almost everybody over there they are the exact same thing. God and country are one. It's great for religion. It's horrible for diplomatic politics and international relations. It's not that either side wants more space than the other. They want the entire space to themselves because they view it as their religious right and duty to drive off anybody else from that land. Now, just in case that situation couldn't become worse, you're got Israel's stated international policy: a head for an eye. Most countries stick with "an eye for an eye" as military doctorine. You invade us, we hit you with missles. You blow up our ship, we blow up your aircraft hanger. But Israel's stated policy is that if you kill a settler, they'll throw a missle into the neighborhood of the suicide bomber. You attack a solider, they'll demolish a town. It isn't a system of retaliation based upon proportional response. They chose this policy out of desperation, because when you're surrounded on all sides by countries that are much bigger than you and want you dead, you've got to resort to extremes. Plus, they've got nukes. The overall idea being that their neighbor's know they have itchy trigger fingers and the capability to wipe out every living being in the gulf. It keeps them off the lawn. Problem is, for most extremist Palestinians, they don't care if they die or if everybody int ehri country dies. Again, god and country are one. If you honestly believe with every fiber of your being that if you start a holy war and it gets everyboyd killed, you and all of your friends are going to be realxing in heaven and your enemies won't, death stops being a disincentive. So yeah, this shit is going to go on for a long time. It's not going to be stopped by bringing rational parties to the negotiating table. Even if you can find such leaders over there, nobody will be able to win over the hearts and minds of the people that will keep strapping bombs to their bodies (save the second comming of Jesus and Mohammad going on a buddy tour).

It depends what continuity Marvel films is working with. Generally, the Spiderman movies have been working with Ultimate Universe continuity 75% of the time, with the remainder being a mix of Eath 616 (traditional Marvel Universe) and shit they made up for expediency. So my bet is they're going to be using the Ultimate explanation of Venom, that it was a biosuit designed for some other purpose (curing disease was Ultimate explanation), but it bonds with Parker and scares the crap out of him because it leads to the normal Venom problems. Parker casts it out and it bonds with Brock (who will probably be established as a childhood friend of Parker's). It will be interesting to see what they do with this Venom, because Ultimate Venom enjyos killing people because it sustains the suit, whereas 616 Venom hates it when innocents get killed (because the suit has created a twisted version of Spidey's mehodologies). I'm excited, but I don't want to wait a year.

My main annoyance with the -dxlevel 80 fix is that it removes texture shaded as a rendering option in Hammer for me, so looking at a room full of the same fullbright texture gives me a headache.

Hey, they moved it to downtown Dallas! Good for them. McKinney was a shithole.

Sneaky monkey.

I've got Mario Kart and Animal Crossing. Both have saved me during those hour long waits in movie theaters to go see midnight screenings. You don't know joy until 3 or 4 of your friends hop on board wirelessly as you play Mario Kart or New Mario Bros from across the theater. At first peopl around you might laugh, but after 15 minutes you'll still be having fun and they'll be playing Snake on their cell phone. Can't wait for FFIII. Nintendo's E3 DS lineup excited me almost as much as their Wii lineup.

Take away the offsides goal and it's still 2-0. Brazil is going to be hard to beat.

For better or worse, every decision big (career choices, relationships) and small (hitting snooze, choosing a seat on the bus) causes slight chnages in our life that add up to the sum total of our experiences. I wouldn't change something in the past because there i no way to say life would or would not be better one way or the other. The best you can do is live and enjoy the ride.

i have just discovered ESPN.com does live streaming of games (even works with Firefox). This has drastically cut down my productivity.

I couldn't find any of my Worms 2 levels, but the only interesting ones were rope and sheep race designs. I'm fairly sure very few of you appreciate the joy that was Worms 2 and the first online community Mike and I terrorized.

Sega Soccer Slam It's soccer, only with fighting, racial/ethnic stereotypes, and Dragonball Z powerups. The single player isn't that great, but the multiplayer is wonderful.
