You also have to take into account how the Rays have been winning against other teams. Not only do they sit idly for 9 innings against the BoSox, but they also tend to do it with teams that aren't as good. So you do have me there. Though, don't forget that last loss. 10-3. So yeah, the Rays won 4 out of 6, both games they lost they lost early on and the games that were even remotely close into the 8-9th innings were won. So I agree with you on that, this series will be a great one to watch with no clear winner until the games have been played.

That being said. Tampa will have home advantage and that does play into it. Boston has shown all year that they're not that good in the Trop, besides the one blowout and the very close game earlier in the year (I think... it could be that the BoSox blowout earlier this week is their only win all year in the Trop.)

 That is if Tampa wins a game here against the Twins. Oh, and BJ Upton will be back. He's a pretty big factor when it comes to the Rays. How it's looking right now, the Rays will be near 100% when it comes to October, and that just means they're going to be getting better.

On another note, somewhat related, I hope LAA loses in the first round. Horribly. Like, they get completely shut out for 3 games, with the other team blowing them out of the water.

If my stats are wrong, I blame my bad tasting coffee and that I've only just woken up.

The Matrix's ending was amazing (the first one, not the other two after it).

Though V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies of all time so I'd probably vote for the scene with the "knives and fancy karate gimmicks".

IGN has it slated for a December 31 release, thought further up the page it says "Release Date: TBA 2008".

So I'd expect it in 2008, probably November-December. 

I love Rock Band 1-2. My band is the Breadstick Whiplash (Name might be changing, I forget if it was taken on Xbox LIVE or not), and we're already in the Rolling Stones thingy... that Endless Set list is looking menacing right now. If you see Silenced Parrot on LIVE, that's me.

Megaman X was the only Megaman I've beaten, because it was so cool... I'll probably be picking MM9 up just so I can play through it and kill some time in between writing sessions.

And Fable 2 looks amazing, I can't wait to get my grubby little paws on it.

Heh heh, don't get me started about the Rays. My only source of sporty-happyness this year. Should be a great playoff series.

A new game nearing it's release in December, currently in Closed Beta but will soon be opened up to public testing I believe. Not only does it look somewhat decent as far as MMO's go, it's going to be completely free to play.

From a game play standpoint, it looks fairly solid. A mixture of WoW's controls and combat with the ideas that made FFXI unique. With fairly decent graphics and hopefully a smooth frame rate with little to no server lag, this game actually looks good, and as it gets closer to December I can't help but become a little excited about it. I just pray that it doesn't end up being like Runescape or Ragnarok.

Anyone else heard of this game, or even interested?

Gorgan's reason sounds like a good reason for anyone to get banned. Anyone.

Currently, I'm pouring my heart out into one piece of work. It's also my first stab at this whole "Let's write a novel" idea, and I've realized that this is what I want to be doing with my life. If anyone is curious about it, feel free to send a PM, or contacting me through AOL Instant Messenger. I should be online most of the time, because I'm always signed in while writing.

Currently, around 30k words and counting. I had no idea I had the ability to sit down and write until I pass out before starting this whole thing. 

 Planning on this first book to be around 150-180k (hopefully it'd become a series if I ever got it published, but I plan on writing at least two or three either way).
