    Which team will win Super Bowl XLII?

    Tom Brady was average at best. I think he and the Patriots believed the hype and the Giants befuddled him all night. I am no Giants fan in the least, but give credit where credit is due -- they won flat out. Only the second time in Super Bowl history that a wild card team won.

    My 'Boys were Alive and Kicking - SD is out - GB down - NY for the win!!!

    Unfortunately Brett returned to his old form from the pass 5 years in the second half. He was forcing passes and that interception in overtime killed the Pack's chances.

    Anyone Use Portable External Harddrives? I Need Advice

    Right now there are several good deals for portable harddrives: Western Digital's Passport, Seagate's FreeAgent Go, and Maxtor's One Touch Mini. I don't have a clue as to reliability and dependability of these portables though I have read some horror stories of failure rate. I have also read...

    Which old Ninendo to buy?

    I will also chime in with a vote for Gamecube. You can't beat the price, still a good selection of games and accessories, and the controllers are user friendly. Alzrius makes some excellent points, though, concerning Wii and its backwards compatible ability. Still, if your son is happy with...

    We need another BG/BG2, Forget the MMORGs!

    Could you tell me what your system specs are? I am trying to figuree out if my system can run it before purchasing NWN2. I have read far too many stories of even high end systems being brought to their knees because of this games poor coding. Plus there is the SecuRom issue... As for BG3 it...

    My 'Boys were Alive and Kicking - SD is out - GB down - NY for the win!!!

    And the Winner Is - THE GIANTS I am no giants fan by the least, but once again Romo comes through for the 'boys,,,, NOT! And the hapless Cowboy fans will blame Jessica Simpson because their fragile mental condition just cannot fathom a loss within their own system.

    Are kids playing tabletop D&D these days?

    Very valid and excellent points. To play a good game of D&D (or any tabletop game) means one must a) find the time and b) want to spend the time in said manner.

    Are kids playing tabletop D&D these days?

    Two things: 1. My FLGS has many grade school and teens (along with us "oldsters") involved in many table top games, not just D&D. It is a very healthy gaming store in the quality in which it is run as well as from a business sense, i.e., it actually makes money. When I talked to the teens and...

    Two $25.00 gift cards for Circuit City. One $75.00 gift card for Best Buy. One very nice heavy top for winter. Nice pair of black gloves with nice black/gray scarf. Pair of gray dress pants. Thief: Deadly Shadows for my PC.

    MPG1 or WMV?

    I will be purchasing two video clips for use on a multi-media computer. I am really ignorant on audio formats so I was wondering which format is universal and can be used with Windows Media Player: MPG1 or WMV? Thanks!

    "Don't waste my time..." WTF??

    QFT. I would never have let him get away with this especially since you order all the time. The only thing that speaks to businesses is $ and especially the loss there of.

    Tinman (First thoughts -Many Spoilers)

    Good points. For me I think the director could have done much better at certain times. I really believe the unevenness was due to his failure at pushing the actors to engage with greater intensity -- especially the reunions between father-son, father-daughter, and wife-husband. I mean, talk...

    weight loss, diet, and fitness thread

    I just started seriously exercising 4 weeks ago after almost a year's hiatus after major ankle/foot reconstruction this past January. I also have cut way back on soda and food intake and now I drink a ton more water. With the weight lifting and swimming I am feeling the best I have felt in a...

    Tinman (First thoughts -Many Spoilers)

    I actually enjoyed it quite a bit and thought the O.Z., etc. was a fun play on words. The acting is fine and it certainly is different (and better) from the usual fantasy slop thrust upon us.

    I second both Jack Vance and Ray Bradbury. I also must recommend John Bellairs.
