  1. Skipping Class to Play Games on Fun Tabletop Games? · · Score: 1
    A few of us slackers at our Undergrad Physics Society skipped class all the time to play the different version of Risk, among many other games.

    I recommend any game by Avalon Hill or Steve Jackson Games.

    Illuminati is a favorite.

    Diplomacy is a blast! It's like Risk, but without the ramdomness of dice. This game is ALL about making/breaking alliances.

    I used to really like a game Avalon Hill used to make called Titan. They don't make it anymore though and it's hard to find now.

    Star Fleet Battlesis always a fun game if your up for reading binders upon binders of rules. I never bothered learning any other rules than for the Starfleet vessels though.

  2. Re:Wow - that was fast! on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 1
    "I was in the theater with my friend when we first saw this commercial. During the silence immediately after the commercial my friend burst out "Cool! I should download that when I get home." Everyone started laughing."

    When I went to see The Two Towers, such an add ran before the movie. After it was done, I heard a little kid behind me ask his dad quite loudly: "You mean you can download movies on the internet!?"

    It was pretty funny.

  3. WoW site down on WoW Street Date Announced · · Score: 1

    It's not even the end of the first day of Open Beta and Fileplanet has ran out of keys and the www.worldofwarcraft.com site is down.

  4. Re:Which FFIII? on DS Launch Titles Officially Revealed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not all of the FFs released in Japan were released in America:

    Japan/States
    NES
    FF1/FF1
    FF2/Not released
    FF3/Not released
    SNES
    FF4/FF2
    FF5/Not released
    FF6/FF3
    PS
    FF7/FF7

    and all PS versions are numbered the same.

    Later on FF5 was released in the States on PS.

    Most FF fans will call the games by their Japanese numeration.

  5. Re:Burn down our whitehouse, then Celine Dion... on Why Offshore When Canada's Next Door? · · Score: 1

    It's a common misconception that that the arrogant worms sing this song. I actually thought so myself until I checked on their site just now.

  6. Re:And the number 2? on Wild 2 Comet Analyzed · · Score: 1

    Actually Star Trek uses the Universal Translator, so if you overlook a fwe (ok, maybe more)discrepencies, you can assume that everyone's speaking in their own language. Stargate SG1 on the otherhand. Do they have an excuse? They seem to be able to communicate with almost everyone they meet. The residents on other planets come from Earth, but thousands of years ago and from different parts of the planet. Do the SG teams have UCs as well?

  7. Re:Bah...still same old EQ on EverQuest Sequel Shows Complexity, Ditches PvP · · Score: 1

    Another game that you need to explore in order to harvest natural ressources is The Saga of Ryzom. Very nice scenery and wildlife.

    Isn't a bachelor in science a BSc. ?
