How come the Mon Cal is the same size as an SSD? Although, I see your point Nessa, but, they probably shoulda just made it a regular SD. IMO
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Video Games / Starcraft 2 [Rumored..... NO MORE!!!] ;D

Apparantly Blizzard let it on (according to IGN) that they might be working on Starcraft 2.
Personally, this was my favorite RTS of all time for its day (I like more now, but not as much as I liked Starcraft then)
So, I can only hope that this is true as I feel kinda jaded that they did a second Warcraft theme (that I don't even play) before going back to Starcraft.
I am very stoked at this possibility.

"Spore is currently slated for a 2007 release."
Is that good Tage?Â
Since you asked, I am drooling over Command and Conquer 3. "Slated" for a March release!

I would also suggest a personal trainer. My wife and I use my younger brother, he is NASM certified and does a great job. They will tell you the best thing for you to personally meet your goals.
Most gyms have them in house and you can just schedule them for a few sessions or even just a month.

« on: February 05, 2007, 09:52:49 PM »I don't know if the Groundhog saw his shadow or not, but I saw the grim specter of doom on February 2. Does that mean we'll have an early apocalypse?
Isn't that a black dog? I thought those only counted against you personally.

You're in luck! I've got a 300 magnum E can borrow for just such an immunity.
I was actually curious about this holiday and did a little research earlier, turns out, the local weather guy said Phil is only right 39% of the time, but the official Punxatawney Phil site says that despite attempts to undermine him, Phil is right 100% of the time. I don't know what to believe.

Incidentally, I'm very disappointed. The coolest thing armadillos do (besides wield samurai swords) is leap straight up. I didn't see a single picture of an armadillo in mid air on that site.
I am unfamiliar with such an armadillo. Needless to say, that would be the coolest armadillo ever.

« on: February 01, 2007, 07:32:45 PM »That's one very rich armadillo--with a way cool name.
It is also one very screwed armadillo.
Thanks! I always felt that if/when I own an armadillo I will name it Brutus.

Yes! But, I also set up a false limited-liability corporation and started selling 30% of the stock on the NASDAQ and then started sending out faxes and text messages to random numbers addressed to a non-existant CFO stating that we are preparing for our big merger in the next month and we should see an increase of profit by 300%. Thus creating an immediate demand for my 70% of normaly worthless stock shares, which I sold for millions. After which I then I set my proceeds up in a Roth IRA retirement account and stretched it to include my new alias as the contingent beneficiary allowing me to keep the money as an IRA and not pay any estate or capital gains taxes on the exchange. And since I was dead the limited liability corporation took the heat for the false corporation front, who was willed out to an armidillo named Brutus living in Oregon.
All of this is illegal and I do not condone this action (except you can stretch your IRA).
And thanks for the welcome!Â

I've played the 360 a few times.. but only the demo for the PS3 that is in the stores.
I will probably grab a PS3 when I get a really nice HDTV in a few years. but until then... I won't touch it unless someone I know invites me over for a game.
I think Nintendo is easily going to dominate this generation of systems, nice change from the Gamecube.
