    Favorite Christmas Music?

    Any Trans Siberian Orchestra album. Chicago's (the rock band, not the musical) christmas album. Christmas with Johnny Cash.

    Rate Narnia (spoiler-free thread)

    Nope. No trailers yet, but there are a few screenshots floating around the net if you look. I hope Snakes on a Plane does well so we can get a sequel, like maybe Grizzlies on a Tour Bus or Spiders on a Train. ;)

    And Pirates 2 will be dethroned when Snakes on a Plane hits theaters in August. :cool:

    Defender of the Crown free Flash version.

    Okay, I just won the game. I played as Wolfric the Wild and jousted my way to victory. I had trouble figuring out how to joust at first on this flash version, but then I learned that you can move your lance up and down in addition to left and right. Once I figured out where to aim my lance...

    Spike TV 2005 Video Game Awards

    Are you seriously saying that you can't differentiate between games like Diablo and games like Prince of Persia? The difference between action games and action RPGs is that, at their core, action RPGs derive from pen & paper RPGs. They assign attributes (such as strengh, agility, intelligence...

    Spike TV 2005 Video Game Awards

    The qualities that define a video game RPG are much different than what defines a pen & paper RPG. And as time goes on, more and more subgenres are starting to emerge for video game RPGs: you've got action RPGs like Diablo and Dungeon Siege, MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and City of Heroes...

    Spike TV 2005 Video Game Awards

    That's really only true for consoles. RPGs have been one of the longest-running and most popular genres for PC games ever since the early 1980s. Sure, American gamers don't get quite as fanatical as the Japanese when an anticipated video game RPG comes out, but neither were RPGs an irrelevant...

    Deep computer games?

    As someone once said "It's not wasted time if it's time that you enjoyed wasting." Not sure I got the quote exactly right, but you get the idea. :)

    Your favorite westerns.

    I notice that a few people have mentioned Deadwood in this thread. So if we're going to allow television westerns, I'd like to add Bonanza and Gunsmoke. :)

    Deep computer games?

    Baldur's Gate II is definately one of them. That game is absolutely huge, and can take over 100 hours of play to complete if you do everything there is to do. Another pick would be World of Warcraft. When I finally got to level 60, I felt like I had really accomplished something. :)

    Attack of the Clones DvD

    I disagree; I thought that Lucas made the right choice by leaving those Anakin/Padme scenes on the cutting room floor. Had those scenes been left in, they would have added very little in exchange for making the Anakin/Padme scenes in the movie even more slow and boring.

    Spike TV 2005 Video Game Awards

    Yeah, most people mistakenly believe that Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson came from Lake Geneva, Wisconson when they actually came from Japan. :p Seriously, though. I don't understand how you are coming up with the idea that RPGs (even video game RPGs) are an older tradition in Japan than in...

    Richard Pryor, 1940-2005

    A sad day for comedy. He was hilarious. Too many great entertainers have passed away in 2005.

    Church of Bones, Prague

    Interesting. It looks like something that could be used as a temple to a god of undeath/necromancy in a D&D campaign. :)

    The movie indrusy is racist aginst dwarves. (rant/ humor)

    Dwarves are hard working, industrious, loyal, honorable, and disciplined. Elves are flighty, vain, self-important, flaky-artistic tree-huggers who love to view themselves as perfect in every way. Which one do you think that Hollywood types are going to empathize with more? ;)

    Just watched Narnia (Possible spoilers)

    A very good point. Claiming that any "establishment" is fully behind you is really stretching credibility unless it's something that has been proven as fact (such as "the sky is blue"), as acedemics are constantly disagreeing with each others' theories and opinions. If by some weird twist of...

    Rate Narnia (spoiler-free thread)

    Very good movie. I haven't read the book since I was about 8 years old, so most of this stuff felt new to me. I gave it an 8 out of 10.

    Heh, for the last few years, Turd Ferguson has been the nickname I gave my little brother after seeing that sketch. I've used it for so long and so often that even our parents now refer to him as "Turd." :D
