Ask anyone who played Championship Manager, who the biggest bargin ever was and Simon Daives (now Welsh international and Spurs) will come up more often than not.
So many other obscure players have come to my attention thorugh this game before they were famous, Joseba Exteberria of Spain and all those amazing and amazingly cheap Djurgarden players. Ahh, wish I wasn't at work...
Best TV comedy and best comedy actor for Ricky Gervais. Considering they were up against Will and Grace and Matt le Blanc in these categories this was a major surprise and makes me happy that such a fantastic series has been honoured.
Hopefully this will increase the awareness of the show in the USA. Hope the USA remake doesn't suck too much.
On the topic of Golden Globes, off the LOTR topic.
I think the actor-programmer analogy is less applicable than the director/game designer. You pick up a game designed by Sid Meier you know what you are going to get.
This seems to have been in decline in recent years (or am I getting old?) being replaced by the studio, probabley a function of game project becoming bigger and more expensive
Sticks designed for flight sims seems to have most if not all of the buttons accessable to one hand, though this tends to be the right hand (I am left handed and notice).
Remapping the keys and clamping it to a flat surface should help too.
I would have thought a gameboy would work, with the pad and buttons close together, I'm sure someone else with a better knowledge of them could suggest a few
Got to agree with you there, whats the point in using a longer and harder to pronounce word that means the same as a word that is almost exactly the same (Regardless)
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me

There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once -- shame on -- shame on you. You fool me, you can't get fooled again.
Found this site the other day, not bought anything off them, too poor atm, but worth a look if you fancy your own. I want a table one to use as a coffee table:)
At university I was known as "computer boy" by a group of girls, as they could all see me playing Championship Manager for hours in my room. One of them married me eventually, so its not the problem it could be:)
My point is... Excessive drinking and partying made me fail my first year, not gameplaying.
The bully only stays a bully so long, then someone comes along and beats the ever living shit out of that bully and makes them realize that they aren't allowed to be a bully any longer.

Feed up with playing it? Don't buy the next episode. Still want to see how it ends? Just buy the last one.
Seems to be a slightly different slant on the classic (Wolf 3D, Commander Keen, Cosmos Cosmic Adventure) shareware model.
As Penny Arcade say, The first one is always free...

This is /.! I couldn't be bothered with the end of that sentence :)
But apart from electricity, food, running water, open source software, the internet and stable govenment: What have the Americans done for us?

I'm having problems with the baby expansion pack for that
Streets of Rage 2 is pretty good.

I'd suggest http://gens.consolemul.com/ as a excellent genisis/megadrive emulator. No idea where to get a rom from though
Track & Field via mame is pretty good fun as well
Not only do women camp incredibly well
