I agree it was a bad all, but you know, that's just part of the game. Almost every game has bad calls, some more significant than others. I totally disagree with bringing the instant replay to baseball....I hate that feature in football, and I think it just about ruins the game. Still, horrible call. I'm glad I'm a Cards fan, and that whover comes out on top will be pummelled in the series....lol. []

Right on sputnik.

Just wanted to post some links to some new shots of some 360 games...big MS press today about the system at X5 in amsterdam. In-engine shots of NBA Live http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/748/748506/imgs_1.html Movies look pretty good too. I don't like basketball, but these shots are unbelievable. Call of duty 2. All press indications are that with the current builds (probably close to final since it comes out for pc in a few weeks), the PC version is running at 30 fps, while the 360 version is running at 60 fps with a farther draw distance. Nice. http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/743/743289/imgs_1.html Just an update to get everyone excited for HD gaming! woo hoo.

Wow, lots of responses. I forgot about Levin in my mention of Trey Gunn...having seen them both play many times, I'd have to give the nod to Gunn.... And yeah, forgot to mention the man who inspired me to play bass in the first place...Mr. Cliff Burton...RIP.

Yeah, I kinda thought the same thing... I'm not even going to touch the 'intelligent design' thing. What a farce.

I'll recommend the Grados as well. I have a pair of SR80's...best headphones I've ever heard personally...got them for about $100. Unbelievable sound.

Do I think that there is life somewhere else in the universe? Absolutely. The odds are overwhelming that there is. Do I think that any of this life has ever been here to earth. Absolutely not. Not while we've been watching anyway. It's absurd to think that there's some sort of international conspiracy covering this up or hiding the facts. Countries can't work together to solve simple problems...let alone keep a secret from 6 billion people.

Yes, color and price please!!!!

Best players I've heard are Victor Wooten and Trey Gun of King Crimson (even though Gun plays a WARR guitar, he's still in the lower register). Geddy's no slouch, that's for sure.

vyzer an paynekiller are the same guy... Revolution is going to kill nintendo. They will (hopefully) go to software only after this failure. Their hardware has left much to be desired since the N64. XBOX 360 is going to rock. From what I've been reading, developers are saying that XBOX 360 and PS3, once you get down to the games, are capable of about the same level of graphics. Add to that the XBOX's ability to stream hi-def content (movies, tv shows) over your network, and it's outstanding Live service, and I'm buying one on launch day. This is not to say I won't buy a PS3....I will. If there is a game that I want to play on a system, I usually fork up the cash. I currently own a PS2, XBOX, dreamcast, Gamecube. I have owned a NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, Playstation, Genesis. All had great games.

I actually brew my own (all-grain) brews, and have 2 kegs full in my fridge at the moment. A blonde and a pale. That being said, my current faves are Schlafly's Summer Kolsch and Schlafly's Raspberry Hefeweizen. Schlafly's (St. Louis Brewery) is one of the best micros in the area, and has the cojones to stand up to AB here in St. Louis (no small feat, AB likes to crush small micros). http://www.schlafly.com

Oh yeah, BTW, was in Indy over the weekend, we drove to the Klipsch building in this baby. Unfortunately, it was Saturday, and they were closed.

Yeah, I'm probably going to grill it once I'm done tweaking. That aluminum cone just looks so nice! Anyway, the forester is not exactly a wagon....it's sold and insured as an SUV and the let me keep my truck plates....but in reality it's a beefed-up impreza frame with a mini-suv top on it. So I guess that makes me half-lesbian...or half sports car..haha. Speaking of sports car, this thing is fast. The manual version will do 0-60 in 5.2... .1 seconds faster than a WRX.

lol, what's with the lesbian thing, that's not the first time I've heard that in reference to subaru.

Not sure, I haven't seen the Legacy GT head unit. This is basically an in-dash 6 disc changer, with weatherband. Here's a pic: Oh, and I did end up getting the Automatic. I love the convenience of an Auto and when I drove the Auto (after the stick), I was sold. The '05 has an electronic throttle control that makes it VERY responsive.

Sounds great so far, and I still have some tweaking to do. I'm impressed with the extension on this sub, and the sound quality/price ratio. And it can go LOUD with the Focals. I'll post more after I get the rattles ironed out and everything balanced.

Here's one of the Forester (pre-spoiler)

OK, some shots of something other than the sub:

more:

BTW, click for bigger shot.

I purchased a new Subaru Forester XT (turbo) in June, it was just a matter of time untill I put a nice stereo in it. Here's the list: iPod Eclipse CD5435 head Phoenix Gold XS 4600 4 channel amp Focal 165V component sets in the front doors (powered off amp) Eclipse 4" coaxials in the rear doors (powered off head) and here's the kicker (pun intended): A soundsplinter RL-i 10 dual voice coil subwoofer. When I saw that this guy was selling these bad boys for 189 shipped, and that they were manufactured by TC sounds and are basically a 10" version of what SVS buys from TC for use in their + series subs...I had to bite. The sub sounds amazing, as does the rest of the system. I'm still 'tweaking' trying to get a balanced sound, and trying to get rid of the extra rattles this bad boy produces. Here are some pics:
