    Question of the Day

    Pink Floyd at Giants Stadium 1994 was my favorite because it happened about the time my friends and I were getting our licenses and could go to the shows on our own. And, most recently, the Dropkick Murphys at the Nokia Theater in Times Square, NYC 2006 because it was the first time I got my...

    FFXII Gambit tips

    Thanks, Luda! Those are pretty useful templates. I've been a bit lost playing the game (which is odd, since I didn't have any problems with FFX's sphere grid), but that cleared up some questions as to what I should be focusing on.

    Question of the Day

    I used to spend hours drawing Godzilla versus Ghidra versus Rodan versus...you get the picture. I loved all those cheesy, rubbery costumes and the toy models they destroyed. I think I really enjoyed Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster. It had a basic environmental message and was kinda scary to a...

    FFXII Gambit tips

    Well, I'm really early into this still, but I've been giving my range fighter/magic users (i.e. Balthier and his bunny lady friend) commands to heal an ally below 50% health. I accidentally set Fran's gambit to 'Attack' at one point and I was confused when she kept killing guys I brought back to...

    My bet is the Spanish Prisoner.

    It's not just one series. It's something that's been going on since the birth of Anime and Manga. Speed Racer's scarf sure doesn't scream testosterone. Many of the recent Castlevania games feature androgynous heroes. Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil may have a tough attitude, but he looks like...

    I got it on tuesday as well, and so far it's been good. The overwhelming number of unskippable cutscenes and the lack of convenient save points in the early going makes it a bit difficult if you don't have some time to set aside for the game however. Still, though I only just started the game...

    Your local Pre-order Info

    I reserved the Nintendo Wii yesterday at Toys R Us. It turns out that there were guys out there since Friday waiting in line for the PS3 (despite the torrential rains we had that night). There were only 2 Wii pre-orders left when I got there, so lucky me I guess.

    boring???? lets play

    Hanging...flaying can damage the carpet. Those stains just will not come out! Movie theater chicken fingers or movie theater pizzas?

    Question of the Day

    I just can't agree with your assessment of basketball because you even admit that the simplified description fits just about any team sport that involves scoring points against an opponent. Contact, or the lack thereof, is a preference and is not a definition of risk. The amount of perceived...

    Question of the Day

    You're right...then the "comical embarrassment" part...because nothing could be more embarrassing to a 7 foot-tall Frederic Weiss than to see a clip showing Vince Carter flying over his head like Frederic was a wee, little person.

    Question of the Day

    No strategy? Spuds, with your reasoning, all sports can be boiled down to "simply carry an oblong object over a painted line", "kick the ball into the goal", "hit the puck into a goal" or "hit the ball and run around a diamond". I can understand not liking basketball (I'm kinda in a funk about...

    I hate Sony

    Yeah, Sony is living the capitalist dream, but it does suck for the consumer. I remember that if you wanted a 1 gig memory stick for the PSP early on, you had to import it through a site like Lik-Sang. Also, rooting between multi-billion dollar conglomerates like Sony and Microsoft is like...

    Question of the Day

    I like bowling...I just don't like to watch bowling. I've tried golf, but it just doesn't catch my interest as something to do or watch. I watch all the top four North American team sports (football, basketball, baseball and hockey), but to be fair, it's easier if you have local teams nearby in...

    Neverwinter Nights 2

    Anyone interested in Neverwinter Nights 2? I've been a fan of Bioware's Baldur's Gate stuff and their original Neverwinter Nights (though, somewhat disappointed by that), but I'm a little excited by the revamping done by Obsidian for this new installment. A major thing is that the graphics...

    Question of the Day

    I can't stand racing sports for the most part (horse or car) unless gambling is involved. Heck, I can watch any sport/game if money is on the line. Spelling Bees, World's Strongest Man, PBA Bowling, or Domino championships, can all be made that much more interesting if cash is on the line.

    Question of the Day

    Despite the steroids stuff going on, baseball is certainly more stable than boxing. The MLB is a multi-billion dollar a year organization. Boxing makes as much as Minor-League baseball does nowadays. Baseball is still alive and kicking. Boxing has a hard time winning over new fans with...

    Question of the Day

    I'm a Yankee fan, and thus, an American League fan. So, I'm pulling for the Tigers. If the Cardinals win, I won't be disappointed. I like the fact that these are two classic franchises who have both been around for over a century. It's just fun to see that kind of history dragged out with...
