The problem with the game stats is they always reflect a 15-minute/quarter game for the simmed games, yet most people play about half that length for their games. For instance I use 7 minute quarters, so as a result I always have a very highly ranked defense but a lowly ranked offense. If you...
One thing is for damn sure, if not for Netflix competition, I would not have my $10/month + $1/movie access pass from Hollywood Video... They recently discontinued it and replaced it with something called the MVP (not as good IMO) but let those of us with the pass keep it, which I will until...
Okay I'm a lunatic with too much time on my hands. I freely admit this. I've really become quite engrossed with EA's NCAA 2005 college football game, especially since it allows me to play our local D1AA team (Weber State)... Anyhoo, I made a web site dedicated to my dynasty in the game that...
I prefer the alternate ending. It makes more sense. The theatrical ending is more disjointed and you can tell it was cobbled together afterwards probably by the edict of some hollywood suit who felt the original ending didn't have enough cliche movie crap in it. Certain lines of dialogue and...
If this were a student film it would be excellent. As a theatrical release it is literally a joke. Forget the lousy quality/camerawork, just the dialogue was enough to make George Lucas cringe, not to mention the ridiculous "character devlopment". I kept trying to enjoy it but it kept taking me...
Had a ROTK:EE party last night. All I can say is WOW. Had my Denon 3803 at -05 and the place was rocking. The surround sound was some of the best I've heard. And the musical score just swept you away in it. Had a question though... Anyone notice 1 or 2 "crackles" from the rears during a...
Logitech Precision Wireless for X-Box... Anybody else use these? I own 4, and really like them, but on occasion they go whacky and get their signals crossed and suddenly gamepad 1 is gamepad 3, or the right trigger also sends the right digital pad dignal etc. Doesn't happen all the time but...
Virus or ad program. One of the most insidious things I've seen ad banner programs do is redirect your google search. For instance you see "blah1" in your task monitor and want to see what it is so you do a google search on "blah1", and the bugger intercepts it and fixes your search results with...
I had a friend who even as an adult could not stand to watch the original Wizard of Oz... Flying monkeys I guess... Dunno about movies, but some old kid shows that were creepy were HR Puffinstuff and Lidsville.... Just plain freaky... Actually the Wiggles, with four grown men with razor...
Mine are on the rear wall (thus the name REAR speakers!)about 1/3rd of the way in from the sides (they end up about 4 feet apart). Firing directly over the viewers' heads (1 foot over the back row, 2 feet over the front). This is pretty standard, but of course your room dicates what sounds best...
I use bipoles placed about a foot behind the front row. Its a 7.1 system with two speakers behind the back row and all speakers about a foot down from the ceiling. - Jack
They see your home theatre and love it, want to build their own so they have you over to ask for your advice. Then one day they announce its done and you come over and they have completely disregarded everything you said and f*cked up, but you're too nice to say anything :) My friends had me...

My dad and I built a HeathKit electronic organ when I was a kid (Some 25-30 years ago). We played the SHIT out of that thing and its still in his living room to this day and he still plays it! - Jack
Mark, I understand how you feel, but if you stop watching movies that have liberals in them you won't watch another film... ever... Personally I'll pass on films with political axes to grind like Day after tomorrow, but I'm not gonna skip a good film because a liberal is in it... That's like...
Maybe he'll remember it was that incident that made him pull his head out of his rear that led to the discipline necessary to make it to the NBA? Who am I kidding... The NBA is full of lazy punks he's going to think his dad was an a**hole :frowning: - Jack
We have our kids start each day with 0 points. If they have positive points they can do the things they like (play X-Box, have friends over, watch TV etc, ride bikes whatever) but they have to do something good FIRST to earn a point (clean room, wash dishes, play with baby sister for a while)...
You guys need to watch more Bill Curtis on A&E... Serial killers keep using the same M.O. because its what gets them off, or satisfies some sick need in them. If they changed it, it would no longer "work" for them. A killer who fantasizes about strangling black women is suddenly going to start...
