The Z-Man

I liked the episode, as well as the flashback.

I thought Sun had gotten pregnant from Jae but, there was obviously more time than I expected between that and the island. So, it's obvious now that they just had sex on the island, after the island solved Jin's... umm... man problems.

Sawyer was the best part of the episode though. I was hoping Sayid kicking some "Other" ass would be the best part but, that obviously didn't happen.

Yeah. That's Danny Trejo. He's also been in Desperado, Heat, GTA: Vice City, From Dusk Til Dawn and Once Upon A Time In Mexico.

You don't get much more badass than him.

Kennedy's entrance... that... I mean.. oh my god... it's.. wow...

Life just keeps getting better and better.

First "Plane Dead" and now the trailer for this.

This'll be awesome.

This. Looks. AWESOME!

As a BIG fan of zombie movies (especially bad ones) and a general fan of all horror movies, I can already say that will be one of the best bad zombie movies I've ever seen.

Damn. I heard it didn't come out until October 10th (aka today) so, I didn't bother checking.

Does anyone know if the Official Playstation Magazine with the Guitar Hero II demo came out on newstands today in the US or was it just a release date for subscribers?

Sweeter.

I've got something to watch on Friday nights now. Thanks, man.

Sweet.

This is something I've always wanted to see on TV but, just never thought it would happen. I hope it's not just an October thing though.

Here's a full story on what KingOfMyWorld just said:

GameStop details PS3 preorders

-In-store program starts Tuesday morning; $100 deposit required, most stores expecting only eight systems.-

GameStop has unveiled its in-store PlayStation 3 preorder campaign to GameSpot, and the retail chain looks to be bracing for a shortage of systems at launch day. Starting Tuesday morning, GameStop and EB Games stores will begin accepting "limited" preorders for the system with a $100 deposit. The preorders are "limited" in that very few will be received, and customers will not be guaranteed a PS3 on its November 17 US launch day.

"Most stores will receive a preorder allocation of eight units, while a few select stores will receive 16," a GameStop official said. "In either case, employee purchases will be restricted to a total of no more than two systems per store."

As for how the $100 can be paid, the company will accept cash, credit, or trade-in. Last month, the company conducted a test-run of preorders for the Wii and the PS3 at its Hawaii stores. In that one-day campaign, the company required that customers pay for the systems' $50 deposit with trade-in credit.

Reservations for the retailer's in-store program will be limited to one per household. The company's online preorder program will be revealed at a later date, "after software and accessory availability dates are

confirmed."

That's a pretty solid tracklist... except for Warrant. I still don't know why that song is in the game. I hate it and I doubt even Guitar Hero will make me like it.

...No more Firefly/Serenity?

saw this on another board.

EOnline just reported that Nathan (FIREFLY) Fillion will be showing up in at least two episodes this season, appearing in Kate's flashbacks.

The Vanishing - 7/10

Movie should of ended with it's original ending. Would have been more awesome.

Billy Madison - 8/10

Never watched the entire thing before. VERY funny though.

Yeah... I didn't think it was "Freebird", due to it being pretty much one long solo in that song.

How do they separate the eleven guitar solos though? Are there verses scattered throughout the song or do they trade off?

I ask as I've only heard the song probably once or twice.

What gets me about that episode is how eerily spot-on cartman's team-speak-group-leader voice is.

God, yes. Their barely-above-monotone voices when they were facing the PKer in the final battle were completely dead on.

And is it wrong of me to think that Stan's "Let's do this!" might have been a subtle Leeroy Jenkins reference?

EDIT: ... well, also, Wikipedia points out a more obvious Leeroy reference that I missed because the only part of the actual Teamspeak planning I can clearly remember is the guy who calculated their odds of success to like the fifth decimal.

Yeah... They haven't said anything about the bass/rhythm guitar being available in single player.... unless they're hiding it from us until the game's release.

Also, I was looking at the wikipedia page for Guitar Hero II and I saw this...

- Marcus Henderson had the following quote in regards to the final song: "You'll know it when it arrives. This is a major, major guitar ass-kicker. It has no less than 11 guitar solos in it."

Is that "Freebird" he's talking about or is it an even harder song?

I could have sworn near the end of the episode, Tom was one of Jack's patients in one of the flashbacks.

What scene was it? I watched the episode again and didn't notice him...

Well, if you're sure people won't camp out then, you just might get out.

If you don't, you've no one to blame but the people who did.

You know why they're not taking pre-orders?

Because of what happened last year with the 360 and pre-orders.

Many stores took more pre-orders then they would get for the first shipment. They started telling people this and told some people they wouldn't get their's until the second shipment... some even on the third shipment.

Well, this pissed some people off and I know first-hand of some of their wrath.

I worked at a GameStop last holiday season and a man came in around 8 or so on a Saturday, I believe. Well, this was after the first shipment of 360s had come and gone about two weeks ago. This guy wanted to talk to the manager on duty so, I got Duncan, who was the manager on duty.

Well, this guy started yelling at Duncan because, while his son's friends all got 360s from stores without pre-orders. Well, this guy's son was "a little sad" the he hadn't gotten his yet. Duncan explained the current situation to the man and said his son was contacted about it as well, back in August, if he was on the second shipment list. Well the guy continued on, even accusing Duncan of selling 360s to his friends, instead of giving them to the people on the list.

Now, I had known Duncan for only around six months or so but, I was surprised that he handled the situation with a very cool and professional tone, even after something that was way over the line.

The guy left his number and Duncan said he would call him personally once his son's 360 arrived.

Now, that was not an isolated incident. People were pissed about having to wait, even though they had been told a few months in advance.

So, it's a LOT smarter to just not take pre-orders. Certainly, it might be more work but, it's the same old situation of some assholes just ruining it for the rest of us.

Also, EWRFan, unless you camp out, you won't be finding a Wii on launch day.

Well, although I didn't care about movies a lot back in '97, I've since realized it just seemed gimmicky to have Cruise and Kidman in it and could have easily been done with no-names.

I've always felt rather bad too, as Kubrick is probably getting made fun of in Heaven for having "Eyes Wide Shut" be his last movie.... if there is a Heaven. If not, the worms devouring his body are probably making fun of him.

but... but I like Velvot Revolver, ____.

Also, I'll believe it when I can listen to the CD. Anything up until that point I'll blame on the government inserting memories into my brain.

I could have sworn near the end of the episode, Tom was one of Jack's patients in one of the flashbacks.
