Wow, Trep, you must really be into it. You haven't been on for a couple of days now.

"Here is the math that matters: If all the states in which the data lean discernibly to either candidate vote as the polls suggest, the election will come down to Florida and Ohio. If Bush takes both, he wins. If Kerry takes either, he wins. We assess the probability in each state independently, and we assume that neither state's turnout affects the other's. Since the odds in each of the two states are approximately 50-50, with a tiny edge to Bush, the combined probability of Kerry winning the election is about 70 to 75 percent." That's from the Slate's scorecard.

heh heh I'll just change it to Ballmer.

I don't know. So far there hasn't been a hug shift toward Bush because of the tape. In fact, it appears to be moving toward Kerry, which would make sense considering Bush wasn't able to take care of Osama. Check this out, and of course there's always Slate's scorecard.

It's part of a picture of me trying to flex and take a picture of myself at the same time. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that well. Now, what did you think it was?

I'm assuming that you're talking about the girl and not Ballmer or my current avatar. She's the sister of a girl in my class who I enjoy bothering. That is, I enjoy bothering the girl in the picture not her sister in my class. Anyway, here are some Ballmer avatars I just made. I think I might go with the third one.

Should I... Go back to my old avatar Stick with the avatar I currently have Go with that one I attached at the bottom of this post Come up with something completely different It just struck me, I should try something with Ballmer.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/rpg/thebardstale/review.html hmmm... can you talk yet Treesus? Is that an accurate review? I was a bit surprised when I read it. The reviewer didn't even seem to like the humor. Has anyone here played either of the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games? I haven't, but they seem like mindless hacks with no personality yet they both recieved excellent scores on Gamespot (much better than The Bard's Tale). Of course, I haven't played any of the three games, so it is possible that Gamespot is dead on. Anyone have any thoughts who is more qualified to make them (i.e. actually played the games)?

I've only played a little bit, but it seems to be fun. Not something I want to play when my parents are in the room though. Compeletly sucks the fun out of it. Oh how I wish they would have put a place to plug in headphones on the xbox.

Yeah, it's a good game, but one of the weaker parts is character developement. You have to become a jedi therefore it's pointless to waste any feats on weapons that you aren't going to use once you become a jedi. It's better if you fucos on what style you want to go with your lightsabers -- single, duel, staff... Then it always depends on what type of jedi you become. If you go for consular you'll hardly ever have to use your lightsaber because you can kick some serious ass from afar. That is, of course, if you are evil. The dark side doesn't have that great of offensive powers. There's a great PA about that. http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2003-07-28&res=l

I just bought it today, but I can't play it till I'm back in Hungary on Saturday. I'll post my first impressions once I've taken it for a spin.

Weird how both Jake and Kingz changed to animated avatars at the same time...

What games are you thinking of getting? I'm probably going to get The Bard's Tale and The Sith Lords. If I were to get another game it'd probably be Alien Hominid. Scrapland isn't coming out this year, is it?

I have it and have played some of it. It's ok. The worst part is the camera. The camera is terrible. There is some fun stuff though. The psychodelyc surfing is the best. I don't think I'd really recommend it to anyone though.

My avatar rocks. Sure I've had it for almost a year, but it's an awesome avatar. I'll consider making a new one when I get back to Hungary in a week to appease Kingz, though.

A friend of mine asked me to pick him up a PC game magazine for him while I'm in the States. Actually, he told me to get him a PC Gamer. I said that I'd heard that PC Gamer in the US is not so good. Is this true? If not PC Gamer, what magazine should I try to convince him that he should have me get?

http://www.gamershell.com/news/17756.html I've downloaded it and played a little of it. It doesn't run to well on my grandma's computer (though, a lot better than it would I mine considering that it wouldn't), the color is messed up, and I haven't played very far, so I can't really say that much about it. Just thought I'd point it out in case you guys haven't seen it yet.

I didn't play the first one, so I can't say. If Gamershell is anything to go by it looks like the first one was leaked and this one is an official release. Whether or not there is a difference, I don't know. By the way, can anyone tell me what to do to fix the colors? Everything is really light and looks badly washed out. I'm not sure how else to describe it.

Great suggestions, Poozie! Could you also recommend a good razor? That buzz is just so hot. On a related note, he gets the electronic version of CGW so he probably doesn't want me to bring him back another one.

Why was Ragnar in China? I might have missed the reason, but I don't feel like going back through all of the posts.

IGN has some surprisingly good stuff on The Bard's Tale. http://xbox.ign.com/articles/511/511957p1.html http://xbox.ign.com/articles/543/543053p1.html http://xbox.ign.com/articles/493/493927p1.html http://xbox.ign.com/articles/536/536596p1.html Wow, I can't believe I had never heard anything about this game before. It sounds incredible. I'm thinking that I'll probably pick it up while I'm in America.

Whoa! I just checked out some stuff about The Bard's Tale. It looks hilarious. I'm curious though, does anyone know if the gameplay is any good? It's obvious that they've got a great script, story, etc., but I couldn't really get a good feel for the gameplay. Did any of you get to play it at e3? What's it like? BG? Diablo? I'll be in America next week and the week following so I might consider picking it up. Also, I was looking around on EBGames and I noticed this. You can get an art book if you pre-order Warrior Within. I wonder how long it is. Speaking of art books, I believe that the Oddworld art book just came out or it is coming out shortly. It's rather expensive though, so I probably won't be getting it.

What does it do? It appears that Gamespy has put a cap on the bandwidth so you can only get around 10kb/sec. So, it could actually be working on downloading it even though it looks like a blank Quicktime screen. You're better off clicking the link at the bottom to save them to your computer. Again, I think Gamespy has capped the number of downloads you can have running at one time, because I was only able to get two going symulatiously. Darn you, Gamespy!

When are they saying Jade Empire will be coming out these days?
