Yeah, I was playing Modern Warfare 2 last night on my phat, so I think I'm ok. Not sure I want to test that until this is fixed, though...

I do mind knifing when people teleport 10 feet through my shotgun blast and kill me. That just doesn't make sense.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it went for me. One minute I was like "hey, this is going pretty well, I kinda like this girl..." and the next thing I knew, we owned a house together. Also, is it just me, or is the reply text box not working correctly? I can't see my cursor, and no keyboard commands seem to work, besides backspace.

2nd_city_saint787: You're firmly in the friend zone. No doubt about it. You're either going to have to accept you're just friends, or move on and cut off contact with her for a while. Also, don't ever chase after one woman and one woman only. You seem desperate and that's not attractive. You need to keep your options open, unless you're in a serious relationship.

Beat single player Modern Warfare 2 last night. Finally decided to give online a try. Ended up playing until 4 AM.

Top Notch, Boston Blackie's, and Monk's. Poag Mahone's isn't bad, but I don't know why they bother asking you how you want the burger done, since most of the time they don't get it right. Medium doesn't mean grey on the inside, guys.

Absolutely not. There's no measurable evidence anywhere that shows ghosts exist.

QUOTE (Real @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) anybody have demons souls? love this game, currently lvl 106 Not yet; been meaning to. Picked up Modern Warfare 2 the other day on PS3. Finally joined the bandwagon. Working through the single player mode now so I have a good handle on the gameplay mechanics before going online.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 06:49 PM) I have the gamecube version and I love it. However they changed the battle mode for the Wii version and the reviews I have read have really scared me off. Im waiting to see it in a bargain bin. But the first version is great, if a bit corny. The active battle instead of turn based is awesomeIt's not that different, really.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) I was reading a review of the upcoming game called Fragile Dreams:Farewell Ruins and looked to the sidebar at the "other games you might like" list. I never knew all of those games were even out for the Wii. I like the anime style RPGs, I wish I knew they were released, I would have more of them in my collection right now. Fragile Dreams is one i have been keeping my eye on, Im hoping thats a good one. You might also want to check out the two Tales of Symphonia games (one on Gamecube, one on Wii).

Uninstall the drivers and all the stupid, useless extra software they install for you. Reboot, and plug the card in. See if Windows picks it up and installs drivers for it. If not, try hooking the card up to a machine with wireless access, and see if it finds drivers online. If not, reinstall Netgear's stuff and see if those work.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 09:21 AM) Until John Danks signs an extention, he is more and more likely with each passing day to get included in some sort of blockbuster. If Dan Hudson emerges, it could be sooner versus later.I've been thinking the same thing ever since he turned down that contract.

Somewhat surprised this isn't in here yet...

QUOTE (IITsox @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) IIT, champ. Get it right.I eventually got tired of correcting everyone about that. Someone even asked me if I meant "ITT" on my resume during an interview.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 19, 2009 -> 02:38 PM) You get into the playoffs and you could have 4 straight guys pitch CG Shutouts.We basically already did that. Sure would be nice to see it again, though.

I agree.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 05:48 PM) I don't want to come across as overly critical, but this is such a ridiculous story. Teams have preliminary talks about players all the time - how is this newsworthy? Konerko would be a horrible trade for the Angels and they have no need of him. I know this is the offseason and we don't have a lot to talk about, but can we refrain from this silly trade talk? It comes off very Cub fan-like.What else is there to talk about? This also has a verified source. It's not just idle speculation.

I was just thinking about that Padres offense without Adrian Gonzalez. That team is going to be unwatchable.

Trading a ton of talent or spending a ton of money for a guy who figures to have an OPS+ of around 115 in his prime seasons isn't a good idea. I don't know why everyone seems to love Crawford here.

I think Thome is the best option we have for DH at this point.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 09:37 AM) If Pods comes back here, I think he's going to be a huge disappointment for many.Oh yeah.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/morn...lt/11/02/11.02/ What does everyone think? I think he's a safer bet to produce than Podsednik, but how much money would he want?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 01:08 PM) I see Retherford getting an invte to Spring Training, and i can't see him not making the most out of that chance. He's a natural hitter, god only knows where we'll play him though.Left/right field? DH?

I actually don't find this to be a bad idea. Not sure if I'd do it, but I think it's a plausible trade scenario. Lopez is a decent hitter who doesn't get on base much but his power numbers would benefit from a move away from Safeco, and he's already a 25 hr/45 doubles guy. Mark Lowe has a great arm and had a solid season for the Mariners this year, and would be a nice addition to the bullpen. I don't see much to be impressed with in Vargas, but if he's got a good arm he could be a nice addition. Salary-wise, we'd be taking on a bit more but nothing extreme. I'd probably ask for a better 3rd prospect than Vargas, or a 4th player in A or AA that could play first base/DH and/or was a left-handed power threat (not sure if the Mariners have any players like this, though).

Used to sing this all the time as a kid.
