There is no way on Earth that Vivendi will allow HL2 to miss out on this Xmas season to be released next Spring.

Those bums need to shore up their bottom line, and next year may be just a bit too close to Doom III for their liking.

Too many roosters in the hen house does not help either company.

Are we sure that the game is really being developed by id? WIth that many crates, sure it's being coded by the guys at OldManMurray.com...

The beta has been closed, but they open up more accounts periodically.

You can find the client here:

But you will need an account from http://magiconlinestore.wizards.com/ before you can play. Don't worry, it's free until the game goes live...

It was all fun and games until someone lost an eye.

And then it was fun without depth perception.

Turn off your download agent, and grab the file again.

For some reason the file doesn't like GoZilla, RealDownload, GetRight, etc.

Auto-update sometimes takes a bit to kick in, and since they have fired just about everyone, it might be taking longer than usual.

How exactly are you planning to eradicate terrorists?

It's simple. You start by simply stating that terrorism against the United States will be met with complete and utter destruction.

This is stated right before turning Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Sudan into the largest pieces of glass on the planet.

The Palestinians are told that any further conflict on the West Bank will result in the same measures.

Terrorists will care, especially if you remove "suitable" locations. Countries should understand that providing a safe haven for these animals is the same as supporting the crimes they commit. By showing that we will deal with these problems, countries will not allow enemies of the United States to hide there, and will begin to weed them out on their own.

We are the big kid on the block, and we need to start acting like it.

This group-hug-golden-light-"Can't we all just get along?" crap is exactly that: Crap. It does not work in practical application.

Higher road?

Do you honestly believe that "taking the higher road" will do anything but weaken our position of power in world politics? Will it change the feelings of our enemies towards us? Will is stop them from attacking our citizens without remorse?

They have enough evidence at this point to show bin Laden being at least somewhat responsible. There is also some showing that both Egypt and the United Arab Emerites were involved. A group hug is not going to help anyone at this point. If you believe that, I have a .com startup you can invest in, and some swampland in Florida.

President Bush needs to tell the Taliban that bin Laden will be turned over to US officials within 24 hours, or there will be severe and far reaching repercussions for Afghanistan. It's that simple. They are haboring him, and they need to realize their mistake.

I am sure that if you had friends or relatives that were victims of this attack you would not be talking about "ending the violence for the sake of humanity."

The animals that did this, and continue to plot and plan such tragedies will not be changed by that, and will seize upon it as a victory for them. Repercussions need to be so vicious that no one will ever consider terrorism again, especially against the United States.

"I say to our enemies: We are coming," said Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona.
"God may have mercy on you, but we won't." - CNN.com

President Bush should have no qualms about turning any country that would harbor these individuals into the largest piece of glass on the planet. Read Heinlein and you'll understand.

"Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."

wasn't the PS2 the opening shot?


With the botched launch, wasn't it more of a misfire?

Tarantino won't touch it because he's too busy working on his "secret next movie", Kill Bill.

Of course, this isn't scheduled for release until next year, at the earliest.

There are plenty of directors who could do a decent Max Payne movie. Frankenheimer, McTiernan, Fincher, Mann.

The scariest thing I can think of right now, especially after his turn in 3000 Miles to Graceland, is Kevin Costner deciding he wants to direct and star in it.

I have too, but only when I exit the game.

Is it all a ploy to get me to stay logged in 24/7?
