Wouldn't that leave the NHL with 25 teams? 6 out, Seattle in? Anyway, i doubt Nashville would be without a team so soon. The rest of them is hit or miss... and apparently Anaheim are more likely to miss than to hit. ←

I'm off to cut the throats of Bettman and Goodenow. Be back in a few days. Ta.

I'm hoping to see more PC releases of the games for these consoles than there has been with this generation of consoles. That's about it; I don't have plans to buy any of them.

I'd actually say Alyx from HL2. Simply an amazing character that represents a huge leap forward in the portrayal of NPCs.

Funny thing, PC Gamer reviews tend to be some of the worst reviews out there. There is a blatent fanboism in their rankings and it's been oft-suggested they are just flat-out bought out in cases. Some of the reviewers are also really amatuerish at hiding prejudices... take a look if someone goes on vacation the people who fill in for them often slant and skew ratings and reviews if they aren't huge on the genre. But the writing, for previews and articles, is usually top notch. ←

The Shawshank Redemption? The Shining? The Green Mile? IT? Stand By Me? ←

Looks like I'm going against the grain here, but if any of you were on a show that was making millions, yet you were only seeing a fraction of the money, wouldn't you be pissed off? I know I would. Can you really blame them for wanting to milk this show for all it's worth? Granted, expecting a Porsche to be delivered to your house is extreme, but with the way that the show has taken off, I think they certainly deserve a raise to bring them in line with other actors on shows of similar popularity. And what's more, the show isn't terrible. I was forced to endure more than one episode while my sister was home on Christmas break, and while I don't particularly like it, I can see why it appeals to such a broad female demographic. If nothing else, there's some clever dialogue, which instantly makes it better than a lot of the other crap on TV. It's essentially "Sex and the Suburbs", and I think tapping into that wide market is a particularly ingenious move on the part of ABC. The show deserves at least some of its success, and I see no problem in rewarding the actors who have held up their end of the bargain.

FS has described Psyloche to me, but who's White Queen? I haven't read the comics, just seen the movies. ←

Lita would make a shitty Psylocke. Psylocke is a total femme fatale in the comics, which is the complete antithesis of Lita's tomboyish demeanor. I could see Trish as the White Queen, though, but I'd rather they got a serious actress for the role, since the character has so much potential. Anyone who's been reading Whedon's run on Astonishing or how Morrison revitalized the character in New X-Men knows what I'm talking about.

Well, I wanted to see a Pennsylvania Bowl, but as long as the Eagles are going, I'm happy. Can't wait for Jacksonville.

E. A. G. L. E. S. Eagles, motherfuckers.

I only misted up once during a movie. I was fourteen, and it was Top Gun, after Goose died. I still get a little choked up watching Mav's reaction.

Do prostitutes count?

I'm going to cough up ten bucks for a game I almost assuredly watched the previous day, and hence know the outcome to? Yeah, right, nice try. The dozens of gigs of MP3s I have on my iPod will do a better job than this keeping me entertained at work, and they're free.
