I'm pretty sure Strife is early/mid 20s like most of us.

You should make out with me.

Is pretty cool

Because you don't feel emotions...? I don't know, I'm a Pixar fanboy so you probably shouldn't listen to me, but I thought TS3 was possibly their best movie to-date.

It's the same thing.

Actually, it's right here: http://board.pressxordie.com/index.php?/topic/154-wallpapers/ Exact. Same. Thing.

AFI 100 Years of movies - How many have you seen
c hoertjes replied to Battra92's topic in Entertainment Exchange
There is but even I think The Oscars are bit skewed towards well known movies/directors. True, but they were generally more fair back then, and it's still quite an achievement for a movie to take Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. It's only happened two other times. -
Don't we have this exact same thread in Off-Topic?

Okay, I've gotten Windows to fully load this time. I still got the warning about "imminent disk failure." But I guess that means it isn't a Windows issue or anything, it's likely just hardware? EDIT: Okay, I did a system restore to a few days ago. I still got the warning at startup about disk failure. FML.

Kanji is mocking me, but there's a big difference between the Oscars and MTV Awards. -
Fuck fantasy football so hard right now.

Fuck hockey so hard right now.

In safe mode can I get my data off the hard drive? Also, I'm not sure if I still have my Windows CD. =\

So my hard drive took a dump. I can login to my computer but once everything starts to load the screen goes black and it shuts off. However, if I boot in safe mode, it will load just fine. Any ideas?

HP dv7, but it doesn't matter right now since my hard drive took a dump last night. -

Because it's incredibly crucial to the history of filmmaking? /facepalm -
Half-Life - This was really the first game I played where it wasn't just fun, but I was old enough to actually appreciate what was going on. I don't care what anyone says, that long ass tram ride to start the game is perfect. Half-Life 2 - Simply put, the greatest experience I've had on a PC. When this game was released the graphics weren't top of the line, but the facial animations blew everything else out of the water. Oh, and you might have heard of this thing called the gravity gun. Epic win. The gameplay, the dialogue, the story, the pacing, everything about it is damn near perfect. Talking about this game almost gives me the same feeling as telling someone about a girl I like. Embarrassing, but this game grabbed me like few others could achieve. Zelda: OoT - Still my favorite game of all time. And fuck you, it's not b/c of nostalgia goggles. I played it a year ago and it's still incredible. The targeting system was simple yet extremely effective, the camera worked better than any 3D game up to that point, the art style was great, the way you used the ocarina was superb, the gameplay was perfect, the story was captivating, the temples were unique and challenging, the soundtrack is perfect. It's been 12 years, and I still haven't played a game that tops this one. I don't think I will anytime in the near future. Mass Effect 2 - This is the current gen game that comes closest. It takes everything that is great about ME1 and makes those things better, while getting rid of everything that sucked, and adding in like metric shit tons of more amazing stuff. What does it for me as far as ME2 is concerned is the characters and dialogue. Yes, there are a couple of weak characters, but overall the lineup is outstanding. I haven't connected with secondary characters in a game like I did in this one. Miranda, Thane, Garrus, Tali, Jack, Mordin...all are incredibly fleshed out with interesting and original backstories, and the dialogue/voice acting for all of them is top notch. The overall story is a great continuation of the first game and wonderfully sets up the conclusion to the trilogy. Oh yea, the soundtrack is great too. Super Mario World - Still the best platformer, and my favorite SNES game. I've logged more hours into this game than any of the other Marios. The gameplay is darn near flawless, and the graphics are beautiful and bright. The soundtrack is great, and I love how there are multiple paths to make it through the game. Modern Warfare 2 - Fuck the haters, this is the most fun I've had with online multiplayer. If you can get past the glitches (which were all patched as quickly as Microsoft could certify them), the core gameplay is outstanding. I've logged more hours in this game than any other game I've played. The maps are varied and wonderfully designed, the weapons are greatly balanced, the graphics are outstanding, and it's just good ol' fashioned fun. Rock Band 2 - The third iteration in this series might be just a little better, but RB2 is more memorable so far. My former roommates and I logged unknown hours playing this game. They probably purchased between them 400+ DLC songs. It's still a blast to play, and many a night was spent drinking and playing RB2. Hella fun. Halo 2 - This was my MW2 of the middle part of this decade. Some of you might have read my thread a few months ago chronicling my replaying of the Halo/Halo 2. The first one was kinda just how I imagined it, but in playing Halo 2 again, I was blown away. This game is actually fantastic. The campaign is still the best of the series, even with the release of Reach. Living in the sticks, none of my friends and I were able to get Xbox Live at the time, but we could all drive, so we had LAN parties all the freakin time just to play this. We'd start playing at 8 or 9pm and play until the following morning. The friendly trash talk was awesome, and I'm sure Coca-Cola and Frito-Lay stock prices went up anytime we got together. Assassin's Creed II - The first game was okay, but suffered from many problems and was kind of disappointing. So I was hesitantly optimistic about AC2, and for the first few minutes it felt like I was in for more of the same. It didn't take long for me to realize how much Ubisoft had improved the sequel. If it weren't for Mass Effect 2, this would probably be my favorite Xbox 360 game.

I love Angry Birds, but I suck at it. I'm still stuck on like 3-15 or something.

I think there's a limit of like 10 images/post, so that could make it difficult. Although I'm sure there's a setting somewhere that Dean could change.

I'm gettin' real drunk tomorrow night and then watching football all day Sunday. Rinse/repeat for the next 4 weekends.

I like the character, but she's one of the worst actresses to last this long on a major TV show.

How can you not like The Wizard of Oz? Or One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest? That movie swept all 5 major awards at the Oscars. It's fucking incredible filmmaking. Gah, I'm going to stop before I get myself in trouble. -
P.S. I think I've only seen like 10% of the movies mentioned ITT.
