    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    Damn, he's right. Ok, the DVD wars are over.;)

    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    My sneaking suspicion is that the first big rush of people with Blu-Ray will be the people buying PS3s. On computers it'll trickle in much slower for both. So it'll be some time before this battle is settled. I'm suspecting unless there is a decisive win someone will develop a player that can...

    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    Here's a link to the story.

    Which is better Star Wars or Star Trek?

    Kirk would do it in one episode. Solo took three movies. Kirk wins!;)

    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    It should be interesting. Blu-Ray has Sony (PS3) as well as Dell and Apple. HP will use both Blu-Ray and HD DVD players. HD DVD has Wintel and Toshiba. It seems like Blu-Ray has more support so far and there'll be more places using it initially. The price difference can also play a roll in...

    Question about X men 3

    Yes, it's The Phoenix. AKA Jean Grey.

    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    Microsoft is staying in the other camp. The tech doesn't matter. If Sony was HD-DVD and Toshiba was Blu-Ray then Microsoft would have supported Blue-ray. At least until MS is done trying to take over the game console market. What would be the advantages of HD-DVD for PC's? Blu-ray has more...

    This Weekend at the Boxoffice: 2006.06.05

    I'm so torn on this. I like Pixar stuff. Loved Incredibles. Monsters Inc. But Cars just leaves me completely cold. I just looks completely like a kids movie. I doubt I'll bother to see it. but might see X3 again.

    This Weekend at the Boxoffice: 2006.06.05

    This is fairly close to the expected drop after a monster first week. After all, it's not like Break Up blew it away. They edged out X3 by 4 mil. Edit: Of course, other people beat me to this comment. Serves me right for posting before I read the whole thread.:) But seriously, X3 is not...

    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    I'm getting a PS3 so Blu-ray is the way.

    Paladins - likes and dislikes?

    Quite People liking the summonable mount isn't that uncommon. But the 'pokemount' people are more vocal. So far I've not seen any other routes that make the special mount ability useful without it also often being a serious liability. Paladin's sometimes work better when the player lets them...

    Rate X-Men: The Last Stand [no spoilers]

    A seven for me also. Good. Better than some people give it credit for.

    Just saw X-Men III (Now with spoilers!)

    After some thought, I think the problem is this. Marsden never became a star. Halle Berry did. Cyclops should have been in the Storm role in 3. But Halle Berry was too big a name to push into the background. And Marsden was already on his way out, preferring to work on Superman. It's also...

    Just saw X-Men III (Now with spoilers!)

    True. And in 3, the actor left the project to work on Superman with Singer. So there was no way for Cyke to play a big role in the movie. I seem to recall Marsden had to complain before he was allowed to beat up the guards before getting taken out. Edited for spelling.

    Just saw X-Men III (Now with spoilers!)

    Watched the movie a second time. Definitely enjoyed it. More violence and less of a plot than previous movies. Magneto's definitely the bad guy, but I can still understand his point of view. Typical comic book deaths, only Cyclops might not be able to be brought back (and the actor is not...

    Just saw X-Men III (Now with spoilers!)

    Saw it tonight and quite enjoyed it. The plot has issues. For example, why is Magneto still free at the end of the movie? But the action is non-stop, for good or ill. Main characters get killed. But never in a way that precludes them coming back. Juggernaut was a ton of fun. So was...

    Why would you want to play *that*??

    I'll have to agree with the suggestion that weird combos in most cases are not all that kick butt. They might be cool, but for power gaming there are usually better options. The only time I recall not allowing something in one of my games was when someone wanted the demonic shifting fae/elves...

    So, what breaks your suspension of disbelief?

    Im my experience, this is the truest test of if the game is working.

    So, what breaks your suspension of disbelief?

    Really, for me, it's silly stuff. Silly, nonsensical names or concepts just bug the heck out of me and make it hard to enjoy the game. Sounds like it works great for Mallus's group. But as for me, I know I lack that sort of sense of humor.

    Saw DaVinci Code

    I'll probably skip the movie. X-Men: Last Stand is too close and much higher up my range of movies I want to see. I'll skip the religious discussion, despite the temptation. This is not the board for it, no matter if you consider the book to use truth or fabrications. I might rent it though...
