For me, WoW feels more like working in a restaurant. Sure, for the first few weeks it's great. Meet new people, make new friends, etc. But after a month or so you realize you're essentially flipping burgers for endless hours and being rewarded with more or less nothing. All the work is essentially the same, no matter what you're trying to make (get).
Just like working in a restaurant, it requires you to put in endless hours, having no evenings, weekends, or holidays free - because that's when the rest of the guild can get together for instances.
WoW began to feel too much like grinding for loot regardless of the quest after a few months.
"Hey, buddy...it's been a while. Don't worry about sleeping with my girlfriend; that's all in the past. Anyway, check out this awesome demo disc. Viewtiful Joe 2 is so awesome. Merry Christmas!"
Wow, if your idea of revenge for someone sleeping with your girlfriend is erasing their playstation memory card would you care to pass her number along to me? For uh,... I need to tell her what a stand up kinda guy you are, yeah, that's it.
Bah, for years us gamers have been asking for a backlit system like the Gamegear.... It's taken Nintendo what, 6 years to answer this simple request? I have to support them on the price tag however, it's the same price as the GBA was when it was origionally released, and much better looking. I do wonder if this thing will accept the "backup" cartridges floating around, or if they've built in copy protection of some sort... any thoughts? Maybe I'll hold out just a little longer, the Gameboy Color just isn't cutting it these days:)

The only people to call it Hackers 2 are the kids on Kazaa and gnutella "sharing" it. It's called Takedown, and is based on the Shimomura book with the same name. Depending on which side of the story you choose to believe, it's largely fictional. If you're looking for it, it was released on DVD in France as Cyber Traque. It can be found here.
Pfbbt, doesn't she know to hold out for the $25 million transfer like everyone else? I mean sheesh, she could have at least chosen the largest sum of money from the dozens of spam messages filling her box that day. Also, I bet she didn't even make all the payments for the transfer fees, that's why she didn't get it....man, some people...
Headline: Taiwan and South Korea's LCD Market-Share Battle.... ...in an online Starcraft tournament on Blizzard's Battle.net. The battle consisted of 14 hours of rushes utilizing the cheapest game unit possible while both countries exchanged insults such as "n00b", and "haha FAG!". Film at 11.
I have you beat. I got 4 pulled as well, 2 wuth anesthetic that didn't take. I have a history of that novocain stuff not taking on me, and the _4_ shots of it I got did nothing, so I told the guy to go ahead anyways. NO2 was just too expensive for me to bother about. Oh, I also ordered out for chinese about 4 hours after and had good honey garlic chicken.
If these convieniance stores had water at a decent price, or even from their fountain machines [for a price chaper than coke, etc] i'm sure some people would buy it. I would. Some nice irc cold water is much more refreshing than luke warm mountain dew on one's way home. But the $1.50 they charge for a bottle of water at 7-11 here is just obscene.
So, this is for both HD TV owners, all 2 of them? Personally, I don't know anyone who has an HDTV, or is even considering buying one, as we only have one HD channel to my knowledge here, and it's a news station. Maybe this will all start taking off once stations start forcing people to use HD TVs, but that may take a LONG time, hell, I've _just_ started getting digital cable in this area.
Maybe I missed it on the site, but what is the power consumption on this little thing? My old Velo 1 handheld kills a pair of alkaline AA's in about 12 hours. I wonder what sort of portable nuclear reactor this thing is touting.
Unfortunately, internet broadcasting in Canada is about to be squashed by fees as well, so the U.S.'s closest neighbor all but counted out. Although my submissions to slashdot have been rejected many times, if you care about possibly saving Canada's internet radio get on over to RantRadio. They are leading the fight against Tariff 22, the Canadian CARP.
Are Katz' reviews getting to look more like the Filthy Critic's every time one is posted, or is it just me that thinks so?
From Filthy: "Jared Leto is a spoiled (and annoying), hotheaded rich kid trying to steal more than his share of his inheritance. Forrest Whitaker is--once again--the sensitive bad guy with a heart of gold. And hillbilly crooner Dwight Yoakam is the cold-as-ice killer who'll do anything for the money."
Seems like Filthy and Katz said nearly the same thing, only Filthy said it about a week ago, and in a far more entertaining fashion. If you don't mind reading through a bit of a story, and many obscenities, read Filthy's reviews insted.
Sorry for the semi-troll, but in this post-9/11-columbine-tech-bubble-collapse-armaggedo n-osama-global-warming-crappy-movie-review world, what is one to do?

The 2000s? What about Protools?
Oh wait, you meant an innovation that a generation would willingly call it's own.

How on earth did my ex-girlfriend get a starring role in the final Godzilla film? Oh wait, on second thought, it all makes sense now.
And notice how the majority of people who were freed from the Matrix were black? *whistles the twilight zone theme*
Try getting rid of it all. Do you really need every Star Trek and Quantum Leap episode on tape?
Mods suck. Do you not grasp Douglas Adams jokes? Sheesh... and yes, it was bad.
It's already been done, the answer was 42, and we were obliterated. Nothing to see here, move along.
I've failed in my attempts to not make a bad joke at this thread, I am truly sorry.
