    Star Wars DVD

    The Emporer has a totally different look (like Palpatine) and the dialogue goes on a lot longer. They talk about the new disterbance in the Force as being the son of Anakin Skywalker. They never say it is Darth Vader's kid. But theoretically, you will have seen Ep III before Ep V once it is...

    Star Wars DVD

    The pictures and sounds are awesome. I too noticed the change in Obi's Krayt Dragon yell - it's just different. The speeder looks really good (the fuzz and shim is gone) and the panoramics of Mos Eisley are great. The really fantastic part of the DVDs? Switch the audio to French and skip to...

    AvP getting ripped to pieces

    I just have to say this (in response to some of the earlier posts)... I liked AVP I liked Riddick I liked Van Helsing I liked Soldier D and D might have been terrible, but who else is giving you screen time with a Beholder? Where's the love, baby???

    AvP getting ripped to pieces

    I find this interesting, as well. I really liked the LOTR trilogy. Granted I have a job and friends and was not terribly partial to the very dull books, but I really liked the trilogy. One thing I liked was the level of detail - how 'cinematic' the movies were. I got this grandiose sense...

    PDF --> Microsoft Word

    Agreed - use the full version of Adobe Acrobat, and you can save it as a usable document. And some of the text thingys go away if you save it as an RTF, open Word, then save it as a .DOC Also, linux word processors allow you to move back and forth pretty easily.

    A Critique of the LotR BOOKS

    To set the tone, a little background. I read the trilogy for the first time over the last two and a half years. I am probably the only 30+ gamer in the world that had not read it yet, but there it is. I had tried starting MANY times, and I could never get past Tom and the Barrow Downs. But I...

    DAoC

    My roommate has 3 50th level Armsmen. Yes he's a tool, but the Albion Armsman is probably the easiest solo class, and you can do a variety of weapon styles - they get crossbows, 2H weapons, and sword/shield. Good luck and have fun.

    DAoC

    I played the game for about a year, so I have a few opinions. Server-wise, the RP servers like Guinevere tend to have a better atmosphere. Not people running around talking in thees and thous or anything, but in general more disciplined gamers. The non-RP servers have cute stuff (I saw a pair...

    Once Upon A Time in Mexico

    Depp was okay, though his part was put together in shabby fashion. This movie was Magnolia bad. A Thin Red Line bad. It seemed much longer than it was, though the scarring will last for weeks...

    OEM is gtg Fry's Electronics offers OEM Windows all the time with the purchase of hardware. The license you get is fully valid and the software is fully functional. No problem going this route - you'll need to configure it to your new system the same as if you bought a full price edition off...

    XP Pro question

    re-installs Just remember that with new MS product activation, you are very limited in the number of times you can activate your "key" before you get a nasty "call MS Support" message. The OEM restore disk may not cause problems, but any Office XP-type programs will trip you up after 7...
