  1. 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. [:P]

  2. 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

    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.

    Just an update to get everyone excited for HD gaming! woo hoo.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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:
