-The font on the back is too big. It should be like 8-10 pt.

- Have a title or heading on the back.

- Work on the front Title.

- Make the front darker, like other people have said.

Doesn't this movie have a different director than the others?

Finger Eleven & Pilate. Very fun little college show.

If my NHL 06 game is any indication, Jeff O'Neill should do great this year too.

And Lindros will get injured in November, but we'll ignore that >_>

Leafs vs Sens tommorrow. Man, I wish I was going...

Man, I loved that show Sam & Max. It used to be one of my favorites. I'd enjoy this game for sure.

2. He wanted to do it his way (hence the acoustic disk) and he wanted Loser Anthems and Lo-Fi-B-Sides on there (a decision sure to be hated by ebay sellers of the two albums which were selling for $250+ a pop).

The site doesn't seem to be working for me.

I bought the soundtrack for that crappy Godzilla 2000 movie, I liked it. The soundtrack, not so much the movie.

I see Goatse in that link, so I'm staying far away.

Shit, free Earthbound would have been amazing.

Some more TSN news. Thought I'd try to keep this thread going

Bondra, Kovalchuk among those unsigned

Canadian Press

9/6/2005 4:57:47 PM

Veterans Peter Bondra and Vincent Damphousse headline the list of unrestricted free agents still looking for work but the real action these days is with the restricted free agents, where NHL stars such as Ilya Kovalchuk, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg have yet to re-sign with training camps just around the corner.

Kovalchuk, who shared the Rocket Richard Trophy as top NHL goal-scorer with 41 in 2003-04, can be an unrestricted free agent in July 2008 so Atlanta Thrashers GM Don Waddell would like to get the 22-year-old sniper under contract for more than three years.

But that will come at a price, likely around $6 million US a season.

"I've spoken to Don Waddell pretty extensively about it and we will continue to have our conversations and hopefully it will be something that gets resolved in time for camp," Kovalchuk's agent Jay Grossman said Tuesday, not wanting to shed any more light on talks.

One restricted free agent who appears close to signing, according to sources, is New York Islanders goaltender Rick DiPietro. He's set to sign a short-term deal in the next day or so, sources said.

That wasn't the original plan. Sources confirm GM Mike Milbury had toyed with the idea of a shocking $60-million, 15-year contract for the 23-year-old goalie - a deal worth $4 million a season - but the concept, which was well received by the DiPietro camp, was dropped mainly because of insurance issues. Milbury has been down this road before, signing centre Alexei Yashin to a $90-million, 10-year deal.

Other notable restricted free agents who need new deals are Ryan Smyth in Edmonton, Adam Hall in Nashville, Nick Boynton and Andrew Raycroft in Boston, Olli Jokinen in Florida, Jay McKee in Buffalo, Mark Parrish with the Islanders and Michael Ryder in Montreal.

Smyth, his agent Don Meehan and the Oilers have a basic agreement on a one-year contract but were trying to work out a long-term deal. That hasn't worked out at this point and all signs point to a one-year deal, which would bring the 29-year-old star winger to unrestricted free agency next summer.

There aren't many options for restricted free agents other than sit at home when camps open around the league next week. The new collective bargaining agreement does stipulate, however, that they must be re-signed by Dec. 1 or else they can't play in the NHL this season.

Or perhaps Europe gives some leverage.

Datsyuk, 27, signed a deal with Russian club Avangard Omsk, a one-year contract apparently worth $6 million. If the deal includes an out-clause, and it would be a shock if it didn't, then he remains free to re-sign with the Detroit Red Wings but GM Ken Holland can't dish out that kind of money. He only has about $7 million under the $39-million cap and has to re-sign Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

Holland, who spoke to Zetterberg's agent last Thursday, hoped to resume talks with the Swede's agent this week.

As for Datsyuk, who has been unsigned since last summer, Holland had long feared this would be a difficult process.

"I negotiated from May 2004 to early September 2004 with them and we were so far apart at that point in time that I guess I was figuring if we picked up where we left off we were a long ways apart," Holland said Tuesday. "We'll see what happens."

The situation with Datsyuk could have an impact on the 37-year-old Bondra, who has 477 NHL goals on his resume.

"We've got two or three teams in the mix, and maybe four if Detroit is interested," said Bondra's agent Ritch Winter. "Ken and I have talked numerous times about Peter but he doesn't have the funds that would allow him to do what we would like him to do."

But if Datsyuk is out of the mix, the Bondra camp could come calling.

As an NHL veteran over 35, Bondra can sign a deal that includes bonuses. Those bonuses are allowed to surpass the salary cap by 7.5 per cent but would then count against next year's cap. That could give some short-term flexibility to teams with little cap space now.

On the unrestricted side, Vincent Damphousse, 37, is close to making up his mind on joining an NHL club.

"I may have something to announce later this week," he said Tuesday.

Defenceman Bryan Marchment, 36, would like to return to Toronto.

"I'm hopeful that Toronto will recognize their need to fill a certain dimension on their team and they'll be able to sign him," his agent Rick Curran said Tuesday.

Scott Stevens, 41, took his name off the free-agent list Tuesday when he announced his retirement after 22 NHL seasons.

"What he's given to this organization, you can't even put into words," New Jersey Devils GM Lou Lamoriello said. "We respect his decision."

Decisions are also expected in the next little while from fellow future Hall of Famers Mark Messier, 44, Ron Francis, 42 and Al MacInnis, 42. Francis and MacInnis are likely going to retire, but Messier remains a mystery.

Wouldn't it be nice to see Messier end his career in Edmonton, where he began his NHL career in the fall of 1979?

Either way, the NHL lockout not only robbed fans of an entire season and a Stanley Cup champion, but also possibly the chance to see those players retire in style.

"But I'm not one to look for a final year to say goodbye to everyone, that's not my style, I'm a private person," Stevens told reporters on a conference call Tuesday.

"I guess I've been dragging my feet on this. But I think it was time to let everyone one and let the Devils move on."

- Make the back screenshots a bit smaller, maybe put in a third one. Lay them out better.

- Have more text on the back, make it smaller.

- Maybe add some color to the spine.

- I'd think about adding some colour or something to the "blur" background. It's cool, but maybe some hints of blue and red in there would add to it.

As if Datsuk didn't take the 5 mil. I mean, isn't Forsberg only making 5? There's no way Datsuk deserves more than Forsberg.

Report: Datsyuk signs with Russian club

MOSCOW - It appears that Pavel Datsyuk meant it when he set a Monday deadline in his talks with the Red Wings.

According to Reuters, the restricted free agent signed a one-year contract with Russian club Avangard Omsk today.

The 27-year-old All-Star centre, who reportedly turned down a $5 million offer by Detroit was apparently looking for a deal of at least $6 million with the Red Wings.

"I think I am worth at least what (Dany) Heatley or (Joe) Thornton got from their deals," Datsyuk told the Russian media.

Datsyuk has a clause in his Avangard contract, allowing him to leave for the NHL midway through the season.

Thanks for all the suggestions, keep 'em coming!

If anyone is interested in a decent guitar tab program, check this out:

http://www.powertabs.net/

It has a lot of the songs you've suggested so far.

Here at college, you're not allowed to play electric guitar, so I only have my acoustic here. I don't really like acoustic that much, but still, it's better than no guitar at all.

Anyways, I need some suggestions of songs to learn. So start suggesting!

Zetterburg might be going to TO? That would be awesome... although I guess it would eat up their cap room, in case they want to make a trade later

I have a good feeling about TO this year. Maybe it's because I just moved here... but I'll be rootin' for the Leafs more than ever. Lindros was a childhood hero of mine, so hopefully he'll be able to step up.

I'm stoked for the first night of hockey. Leafs vs Sens, Coyotes vs Vancouver... it'll be killer.

I'm a big fan of Toneblender - Take Your Mama Fighting. It's a mashup of Nickleback & The Scissor Sisters. I think it improves on the actual SS song

NHL 06 Demo

Tampa vs TO, 5 min 3rd Period, No Penalties, No Line Changes.

Any impressions? I'm liking it so far, but that's probably because I'm starving for a new hockey game.

I like the idea of the trick stick, even though it's very arcadey. The new dekeing controls allow for some nice dangles too. All in all, I like the way the controls are set up right now.

I like how each player has one set stamina bar, instead of one that will recover in a couple seconds of idle, slow skating. I think it's a bit more realistic, that your player would have to get off the ice to recover their stamina more fully.

The replays at the end of the game are pretty awesome. This game has more memory than previous ones: Sometimes they'll replay a goal at the end of the peroid, that you got in the first.

I'm still going to check out ESPN's offering, but so far I'm liking NHL 06.

Hossa probably wouldn't have played his heart ouf this year if Ottawa kept him anyways. He didn't really want to be stuck there... he wants "Iginla money"

im goin to get it tomorrow, for you Tommy Lee fans on NBC he has his own reality show "Tommy Lee Goes To College" I find myself chuckling at it a couple of times, if your a fan you should check it out.

Check out Thornley, they're pretty cool. Straight up Canadian rock. Nothing too hard, but it's not exactly soft either.

Jimi Hendrix is by no means a good guitarist. He sounded amazing, but he didn't know what the fuck he was doing, by his own admission. Purely going on technical merits he's one of the worst guitarists to ever score a record deal.

That's all irrelevant, though, because what he does sounds amazing. He is, however, heavily over-rated.

The problem with the likes of Jimi Hendrix is that so many people are of the mentality that he's the greatest guitarist of all time, and that no one else could ever surpass him, that when someone inevitably does (and has), they don't see it, they still herald Hendrix as the best regardless.

EDIT: And your friend sounds a bit of a flapjack to me. Trying to influence someone's music tastes is one thing, ridiculing bands they like is one thing, but directly telling you what to and what not to listen to is shit.
