Metroid Fusion - You're once again in Samus' boots. This time, you're headed to a research station that has suffered damage from a large explosion. You've been stripped of your abilities during a battle with a new lifeform, "X". (Pretty original name, huh?) The gameplay is exactly like th...

Router is the first line of defense.

Trend is the second line of defense. (virus scanning and a second firewall)

A Pop up blocker stops the horseshit from popping up.

Spyware and AdAware complete the protection.

What I'm saying is that if you're using a graphical interface for a character, it should be first person, IMO. I have no idea what you're trying to say there. Are you saying ALL games should be in FP? All games have characters so... Besides it being your opinion, which you think is correct despite ...

I've used pricewatch.com to build 2 PCs and haven't had one problem yet. All pricewatch does is allow vendors to basically bid on your business. If something is too cheap, its probably that way for a reason. I've never bought from the absolute lowest bidder. I always shop for a good looking vendor ...

I've checked every spec possible between the prices on Crucial/Best Buy and those on pricewatch and cannot find a difference.

If there truly is some new spec that makes a difference, Crucial must only be selling the new stuff because their memory is outrageously expensive now.

TPR, that's hilarious. I want to add, that interestingly, FOX News' polls showed the approval rating at the same level. However, their Iraq support was now up to 60%. I'd be very curious to see the actual questions that were asked. FOX's presidential poll was, "Who would you vote for right now...

PCGamer has a small write up on it this month.

Unless it blows you while you fly your X-Wing, its still not worth the money.

As an Italian, let me say that's correct...and fuck you. :D

Maybe he meant White American Pricess?

Since these reviews were lost in the great forum crash, I thought I'd ressurect them here. Vol 1. - Kick ass tribute to Asian cinema. Everything is over the top as you'd expect. Great writing with detail focused on the characters and the fighting. Fantastic direction. The blood is a bit over the to...

George Clooney plays a divorce attorney who excels at winning. Catherine Zita Jones plays as a manhunter. Their paths cross and in some people's minds, hilarity ensues. Clooney makes some strange decisions playing the attorney as more of a goof than as a serious, career driven character. CZJ is tot...

Starship Troopers 2 will be in the $5 and under bin within the next year. I was chating with my cousin and while discussing movies he s...

This , boys and girls, is what we call "Spin". The farther you get into the article, you more you realize how wrong the headline was and little the polls actually meant. You'll also realize how even when the polls didn't go the way the reporters wanted it to go, they just gave their own e...

What the fuck is going on with system memory prices? Crucial has a single GB of PC2100 listed at $300??

On pricewatch.com I can find a generic single GB of PC2100 for $90.

Anyone know what's going on?

I have heard Limbaugh say before that if you want the truth of an article you skip the headline and move to last few paragraphs. What really is being said is always down there.


I'm not a huge Rush fan, but I'd agree with that. At least I believe it applies to Yahoo News.

Especially given the apparently sketchy nature of the poll/questions/answers. I was going to point that out too. I find it interesting how arrogant the media is acting in these times. Their ratings, readership, and listeners are down...except for conservative outlets which are way up...and the Amer...

I kind of scanned that site you linked. Am I wrong or are they simply rewriting the movieusing the same scenes and most of the same dialogue and then taking credit for an original story?

If so, then I now know where Hollywood trains its screenwriters.

Check out the last paragraph in my spoiler free review.

Now read Paul's spoiler in the post above this one.

For shame Paul. Not only is it a spoiler in a spoiler free review, but you've ruined my joke.

Be sure to watch/listen to all the extra features, they are well worth it. Where else will you hear the phrase "a Luftwaffe of ass"? I caught that too. Its hilarious that they had a mini-documentary based on that one scene. I also loved the challenge the writers made to other film makers....

Did anyone feel the writer was trying to make a statement with the animal testing in the beginning? It was shown for so short a time, he could have just been using it as a starting point to explain how it happened...so, beginning, statement or plot device?
