it's very cool. right now, we only have the game that comes with it, Link's Crossbow Training, it's a lot of fun. I can't wait to get Medal of Honor and/or RE The Umbrella Chronicles

I just got the Wii Zapper at Best Buy also. They had alot. I also really enjoy the Link's Crossbow game. Its fun, but it doesnt seem to have much depth. For $20 for the gun and game, totally worth it. I just ordered RE Umbrella Chronicles from Amazon for $35 new. Cant wait.

iPod Shuffle is a good choice for your needs. There are many others also. Dont think ipods are any better than others because its more popular.

iTunes is the free software that you can use on your PC without any issues.

I have 46, but now that finals are over, I can focus on what I like to play.

 

If your Galaxy isn't completed, it means you're missing some Hidden Stars (secret passages in the stage) or you're missing the comet Stars. Prankster comets and other types of comets will randomly appear by stages to offer a challenge like a speed run through the stage of beating the boss with only 1 Life. Talk to the star in the observatory to move a Prankster comet so that you can start collecting more stars.

I did get the Comet Star and Question mark star, I guess there could be more than one comet per stage? I was wondering if there were stars hidden where it gave no clue how to get.

I too now have more free time to really play. I am off work for the rest of 2007, YIPPEEE!!!!!!!

I like the Bee Mario, Ice Mario, Fire Mario, but not the Spring Mario.

eh, it was a good boss battle, but it didn't quite leave me satisfied like the OoT final battle, to be perfectly honest.

 

in other news i've been completely done with RE4 for awhile, beat the main game, Separate Ways, and Assignment Ada. I tried Mercenaries but I don't really like it all too much.

I actually never finished OoT. Maybe I should replay it.

I finished Metriod Prime 3. I thought that was a fun game too, but nothing too new.

Beat Zelda last night

I really enjoyed Zelda. Especially the last boss fight.

Sounds good.

 

Also: how many hours per day do you need to wear your safety helmet?

about as long as you spend cleaning your underwear of piss and poop.

Yeah, I said that like an hour ago. In this thread.

Then quit spinning in circles.

Jackson will be producing the new films, with a director yet to be appointed.

Doesnt mean he still cant direct it. I'm sure it has to be a considerable and likely option.

but he's only producing, not directing.

It doesnt say he is only producing. I really cant see him only producing the hobbit. I believe he will have alot of involvement considering what he did for the LOTRs.

they are trying to squeeze too much money out of the franchise by turning it into 2 movies.

Yeah I was kinda suprised by that.

Yeah, but he also had nothing to do with the production before yesterday. My fingers are crossed.

He's on board. YIPPPEE!!

I got 120 on Friday. Being unemployed has some benefits.

I have 89 now and stars are getting more difficult to find.

How come I have all no more question marks or blank stars, but still doesnt say Galaxy Completed? Where do I look then?

I think a lot of people see, or think they see, the "typical" rap song/rapper (talking about gang banging, shooting people, smackin' the ho's, rollin' with a 40, smoking pot, etc.) and think that that's all there is. I don't really go for .50, but I do like Kanye, Public Enemy and The Roots.

 

I do have a problem with a large chunk of the subject matter in a lot of hip hop, but that doesn't mean I hate the entire genre.

I agree.

There are some of creative talented Rap/Hip Hop Artist out there, but alot of them get a bad rap cause of the other crap. I think same goes in all genres of music, but mostly in rap and country.

Those are two seperate things, so I cant vote either way. I keep my registration in my car. I keep my insurance in my wallet.

As has already been pointed out, the Washington Nationals name has some history behind it.

Sometimes you have to let bad team names die. Just because it has history doesnt make it any better.

Yeah, it's a pretty unexciting name on it's face. But part of the reason they chose it was historical -- the official name of the original Washington Senators was the Washington Nationals. In that light it's not as bad, as it's sort of celebrating the return of baseball to the city.

Still not good enough for me. Senators are even worse of a name, so at least they didnt go with that. They shouldve went with a all new name. Ohh well.

So on the topic of most annoying or unusal batting stance.

I choose Craig Counsel. If I was a pitcher, it would be hard not to plunk him in the head while he is standing there like a weirdo waving the bat. Also annoys me that he seems to somehow squick out hits. Craig, please just calm down and act like a normal batter.

Couldnt be anymore average looking. Looks very cookie cutter. It's a baseball stadium. I guess its nice.

Washington Nationals competing for worst team name with Houston Texans.

huge fan...but of the more old school pre-venom/carnage variety.

I havent read in along time, but was a huge spiderman fan. I was there when Web of Spiderman started which was around the time McFalane was doing Amazing Spiderman which was awesome. Was a huge fan of Venom but stopped reading about then. There are so many good stories with Spidey, I hope they make more, but with a different crew, even though I enjoyed part 3, I felt it was getting stale.

I do like Venom alot and dont really know much about Carnage but did read a little series about them when Toxin was born. I think its a nice spin off from spiderman.

Just seeing the title I had a mental image of a three-layer cake like a birthday cake, except made of fish. Salmon patties sound waaaaay better.

That sounds sick.

I am talking about salmon cakes like crab cakes. They are very delicious. I assume salmon patties are the same thing except in patty form. I would love the grandma's recipe. I think the important part is using alot of oil. I heard Old Bay spice is good.

I have alot of salmon that I caught awhile back that I wanna use up. Having some people over during Christmas and thinking about making Salmon Cakes. Does anyone have any good recipies for that. I've used Zataran's mix before, but it was only ok. Just wondering if anyone had any good sugguestions.

While I am happy that Wilco is gaining more fans, it makes me mad that scalpers do that. It's not a testament of success, just a testament of true fans getting screwed into paying a hell of a lot of money.

You're right, we are getting screwed but scalpers wouldnt be buying up tickets for an artist that didnt have a high demand already. I am with you on hating scalpers/brokers. I am way on board with you on that one, not just from Wilco.

But that is a big reason. I check everyday and hundreds of tickets are available on the broker sites. That said, I agree that Wilco deserve a rabid fanbase and more money. Except the brokers stand to make a hell of a lot of the money. The good thing is that thus far, the broker tickets aren't selling much. Hang in there, ya'll and prices'll drop like the broker I decked in a dream last night.

Yes, I predict by days before shows, tickets will be at face value.

side note, I just witnessed a fight in Best BUy over the last blade runner case

one dude got to it first, the other guy went to snatch it, they shoved each other, dropped some f-bombs and then the geek squad showed up to clam them down.

wow.

I've only seen the Director's Cut. Are they all pretty different? I heard there was 5. Any ones perferred?

I think it's pretty darn cool that every date in February is sold out except for Charleston (which will probably sell out soon).. Good for Wilco.. I don't remember the shows earlier this year selling out that fast. But I just hope it's not because of the ticket brokers/scalpers are buying them all up..

 

Well, actually it's not cool for everyone that can't go to these shows.. Or have to pay a scapler..

I agree.

I am happy for the success of Wilco, even though it means that I wont be able to get tickets that easily anymore. They truely deserve it.

Having scalpers rape tickets sales is a testament of their success.

How about a Venom/Carnage movie?

Any spidey fans out there?
