  1. Didn't this happen to Toronto last year, just much later in the year. I know that that's how Montreal basically stole their way to 7th place, because Toronto had a 5 or 6 point lead on Montreal, then lost 7 in a row and they lost their playoff hopes. I really hope Toronto makes it to the playoffs, if only for the chance to see a Montreal-Toronto conference finals which goes to 7 games, and Sundin scores the OT winner in Toronto and the crowd erupts as though we just won the Stanley Cup...

    a man can dream...

  2. Little Miss Sunshine needs at least a mention, awesome performances by Abigail Breslin, Steve Carell, and Greg Kinnear. It's an awesome feel-good-film that doesn't make you want to throw up at the end. It deals with real issues, but is still so damn hilarious. It's the only movie I've gone and seen twice ever.

    Add the fact that the critics are on a huge Steve Carell man-crush phase, I can see Carell at least walking away with a supporting nod at some award

  3. As for Dreamgirls and Oscars, one of the actresses of whom I can not remember her name had a clause in her contract that the studio could put her in the supporting actress category instead of leading actress. As of now it seems they'll exercise that and put Beyonce at Best Actress from what I've heard because she has a bigger name.
  4. The Departed is not nominated? This is why I continue to hate the AFI who screw up everything, like "Luke, I am your father" didn't make the top 100 movie quotes. But yet United 93 is nominated for basically being a movie about 9/11, it wasn't that great of a movie. I enjoyed Inside Man a great deal, but seeing it on the list and not Departed makes my brain hurt as it was significantly better.
  5. I can't wait to play it, and heard nothing but amazing things. A strong Game of the Year candidate and may even win. I heard it's more fun than Oblivion, and longer then Wind Waker. Another Zelda game maybe, but its Zelda nonetheless.

  6. Video Game Awards

  7. These are games I can't wait to play and assuming no delays:

    Halo 3

    Mass Effect

    Bioshock

    Super Smash Brothers Brawl

    Metroid Prime 3

    Super Mario Galaxy

    God of War 2

    Grand Theft Auto 4

    Fable 2 is a big iffy, I don't know if I could trust Lionhead anymore, Fable was a massive dissapointment, (I remember the developers saying it would be the Zelda killer and one of the greatest RPG's made....sure) and way too short. Wind Waker was pretty short too, but it played better....because it was Zelda.

  8. The best list of books so far, although I shamefully admit that I have not read The Virgin Suicides yet. ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster steal a copy from your wife and read it, its seriously one the most hilarious book to ever be published and a great book all alround.

  9. On 11/19 the Wii received a new game from Nintendo titled Legend of Zelda. Since then 25 sites and magazines have reviewed it including GameSpy, UnderGroundOnline, Lawrence and GamersMark. Together their reviews have resulted in an average ratio of 96.3%. That ratio has resulted in this title becoming the 4th best game of all time and the 1st best game on the Wii.

    10. You can buy from a celebrity

    From the auction: "If you live in the Portland Metro area you know who I am; I was the guy that you saw standing in line at Best Buy on Airport Way. I was there from Monday 10pm until the release Friday morning at 8am; it was incredible. I am certain you are aware of the obvious over saturation of the PS3 marketplace here on eBay. This being the case, I am not letting this package go for anything less then $5000."

    7. Deduct your PS3 from taxes

    From the auction: "I am involved with an organization called Younglife that I am giving 90% of the $ to. I am keeping 10% of the money. $5000. I will be using that money to move my wife and [me]to Arizona."

    Yours for: $50,000

    6. Get your PS3 from Santa, Mrs. Clause and four Elves

    From the auction: "We will personally delivery this package to the winning bidders' house, anywhere in the world, on Christmas morning. We will be showing up as Santa Clause with Mrs. Clause & 4 Elves. We have contacted a world news broadcasting company in hopes of having them cover this story on Christmas morning ... Obviously this will be a big moment for you and your family and we are dedicated to making this the most memorable Christmas ever."

    and finally ... drumroll please ... you should buy a PS3 on Ebay because ...

    1. Some PS3 sellers are very sensitive

    From the auction: "Why should I listen to the negativity that other people has to throw at me? Why should I lower my price based on what 10 people think? Who are they to tell me what to do? As far as I know, I live in a country filled with hopes and dreams. I'm proud to live in a country with so much freedom. Why should I give up my hopes, dreams, and freedom, because of people that just want to be hurtful! So I'm going to exceed my own limitations and do what I wanted to do. I'm not being greedy or needy. Like I said, it's a free country so I can do whatever I wish to do. Whether this thing sells for 1,000,000 or a dollar, it's only money. And yes, in the end, this is only a toy with a retail value of $599."

    Yours for: $1,000,000

  11. I guess my fate for the first person to have the EWB title will be on Saturday:

    Saturday Nov. 25.

    Undertaker vs. Kane (Kaney) : Around 8:00 PM EST

    Undertaker vs. RVD (Big Tuna): Around 11:30 PM EST

    I'll give a hit to both of you on LIVE when the time comes, and also give you guys a PM.

    And I have 1 day to get use to the controls......I'll manage. :unsure:

    See you guys online! (Y)

  12. Do you know whats really annoying, other then getting chainsawed to pieces online, but when your down and your teammate is right beside you and doesn't help you back up. I mean how hard does it to just tap x when your right there! It was also 2 on 1, last round, all tied up,and we lose. Stealing kills can also be annoying but I do it sometimes so I can't complain.
