  1. Re:Best single player game in existence... on System Shock 2 Retrospect...and Possible Followup? · · Score: 1

    One game I suprisingly liked was Project Eden. I wish the netcode was more "stable" for multiplayer. Great fun ahving 4 people go through the game.

  2. Re:It's not a spoof of FF... on Fantastic Four Animated Series · · Score: 1

    There is a particular episode where Dr Venture and 2 other characters get hired at Amazing Industries. The owner Mr. Amazing is quite like Reed Richards and then they go and parody the rest of the FF.

  3. Re:What If -- What The.. on Fantastic Four Animated Series · · Score: 1

    The best thing about that PArody (Superman vs FF) was then complaining that it was impossible to write funny Thing dialog that didnt sound like "normal" thing dialog.

    Also I seem to recall the Black Panster putting in 2 appearances over the entire run, but alas my comic collection was stolen and I have to re-collect everything again. Anyone got a spare Punisher War Journal #1?

    I really wish there was a Heros for Hire type show.

    Are you telling me that Condoleeza Rice is anything more then a token black chick in the administration?
    Powel (who I used to respect) keeps looking like the Black general from Mars Attacks.
    I used to be more open to McCain even though I dont agree with all his policy, but after the RNC to me he is in the Powel group of people I used to respect.

    I suggest you get some better Canadians. I have a number of friends up north that are not anti-american. They are troubled by the actions of the government down here.

    This is the first I heard of all those pranks that were reported being false (I didnt really care much as replacement keyboards are dirt cheap).

    Can you give me a cite to the keyboard and other ones?

    I'm a bit to cynical to believe it's just Democrats. Couldnt it also be rabid followers of other partys?
    I am also would not put it past Republicans (or Democrats)to do this kind of shit to themselves to stir up trouble.

    Joe Jobs are not just something on the internet.

    Looks to me like they had backups, they just did not verify them, or they were damaged and rendered useless.

    Was Al Lowe even involved? I ahvent kept up with recent LSL games but just like space quest, it it aint the creators it stands a good chance of suckage.

    Look into a Prius then, If I dont disengae the Parking Brake then I dont go at all.

    Considering the brakes are what stopped him I'd say they had to be working.

    Newer cars seem to allow cruise control at any speed. At least my Prius will let me set cruise for any spped down to about 15 MPH. I havent tried slower speeds.

    But how then did he manage to stop the car by stomping on the brakes if they dont respond. AFAIK he was still doing 120 when he did that to finally stop.

    If the power assist on my Prius fails while braking I am told I still have unassisted normal brakes.
    What the computer in charge of regen does is moderate the forces aplied otherwise it seems a bit "grabby".

    From what I see more adults (20-40) play games that are fun and are more drawn to multiplayer/party games. M rating has jack to do with it.

  23. Re:Real bike is probably less hassle than e-bike on E-bike E-xperiences? · · Score: 1

    The reason I cited my 8 hour trip was that for a good while I was climbing mountains (and going down them). I was able to maintain 70 MPH and keep my MPG to 45 average (I have a "classic" Prius) not the new 2004 model.

    I dont know about the Civics and Insights but with a Prius at least there should be no problem with what you describe for hill travel. There are a few sites that can do far better explaining the tech then I can. If you like I could give some links.

    A smart person instead of acting like there is no solution but death, might turn the key to the "unlock but dont start" position upon discovering the wheel is locked.
