    Give me your top three SuperVillains...

    Mine: 1. Dr. Doom: an intelligent, almost urbane, sophisticated villain. 2. Red Skull: The stereotypical evil mastermind. No real charm, No redeming qualities. Just evil. And nazis are great villains. Nuff said! 3. Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man: Not a major league villain per se, and no...

    Rodney Dangerfield dead at 82.

    I just read this too. Noooo. However given the great amount of health troubles hes had in the last few years its not too surprising.

    [October] What Are You Reading?

    Very good IMHO. Alot of the reviews refer to it as Jane Austin meets Harry Potter, but thats not entirely true I think. It reminds me of Lord Dunsay in its traditional take on fantasy. It has the vivid characterizations of Dickens or Thackery, the droll humor and social politics of those authors...

    Rome: Total War

    I picked this up yesterday. The jump to 3d really is such a revelation compared to the first two games in the series. All in all a great evolution. My favorite part if the 3 d ness of the startegic map. Ive always had a good understanding, I think, og European geography, but seeing everything...

    Help Me ReWrite Post-1910 History

    Nice map. Ive looked through the posts, I have a couple of questions comments. First assuming Germany was victorious in your WWI, I see the map slightly different. Germanys war aims included breaking France, making Belgium a vassal state and creating a German dominated Mitteleuropa customs...

    Help Me ReWrite Post-1910 History

    Hmm how about this, it has been sort of touched on by others. Perhaps a political/religious movement grows in the area stuck in the 1870s, that becomes xenophobic of the other regions of North America. With transcontinental travel more difficult, the Pacific states secede from the USA and form...

    Starwars Battlefront: The Inevitable Thread

    Sadly it seems to make it worse. I like the game, some of the maps seem unbalanced but the huge battles are a blast. I just hope the future patch tweaks the mulit gui and maybe puts some sort of respawning invulnerability in game. Please. Even with the problems I like the game. My biggest peeve...

    WB's The Batman

    The show seemed ok. I actually liked the more crazy like Joker, a welcome change on the more tradtional purple suited clown. Here he seemed a bit more crazy, dangerous. However, the show doesnt really do all that much for me. Granted seeing a Batman thats still growing into his persona and isnt...

    Computer Help -- svchost.exe is eating up my computer

    Ok I came to this thread late, but it does indded sound like your machine is laboring. A small HD and 128 megs of memory running Xp isnt good. More memory and a bigger HD will probably help. All the processes that Xp has on by default probably all cant get enough to run at the same time. Did...

    Star Wars DVD

    Myself Id have to disagree. Ms Portman seems a reasonably skilled actress. She has been in a Woody Allen film (Everybody Says I Love you), Cold Mountain, and most recently Garden State. My opinion, but I wouldnt fault her. The Star Wars films have had so many great actors in them - and few...

    Starwars Battlefront: The Inevitable Thread

    By the by, is anyone having issues with server lag? I have broadband cable and it seems few server give me consistent connection. I run usually 40-60 pingwise. It nothing major, just some servers tend to deteriorate over time. Is it just me or the fact the games new? Ive never had such issues...

    Starwars Battlefront: The Inevitable Thread

    Well in my opinion.... things seem a little unbalanced depending on the map. All maps seem to have vehicles of some sort as well as defensive turrents/guns. AT ATs are screaming chariots of death on the Hoth level, I have issue with some of the clone war levels too. Some of the maps seem a bit...
