great TR Vamp, Too bad you'd never see any of the disney parks in this country in fog or snow

...and I think the video authoring software is out there for it already, its something a friend of mine and I have been looking into doing

Arteries

SFFT is one of nicer parks in the chain. I have a feeling that CF will pick them up if they do get sold off.

Sensual

Wish they'd tell us when they would go...so we can crash their party!! MUWAHAHA

^ I do the same thing crispy, im not wasting my money on Madden, as I find it a product lacking quality.

^ Roberto, you were right, HALO did come out at system launch, my apologies for the mistake. I guess im just dissapointed at a number of games in this generation of consoles(esp. XBOX) and PC (ex: Doom 3/Quake 4). Im someone who believes you should get a equal or greater amount to what you spend on a product(hence why I buy DVDs and not go to the movies). A couple of examples of doing it right: GTA 3 Series: Each has impressed me more and more,eventhough they're all using the same engine. Every game so far has pushed the technology further and added replay value each outing. Plus, it has an active "aftermarket" community who develops mods,cars and skins to expand on the game play. 2k Studios Sports Series: Eventhough they dont make an NFL title anymore (Thanks EA for screwing us over!), their other games (NHL,MLB,NBA,NCAA) are more approachable to the casual fan for three reasons: A) Easier control setup. B) Depth of functionality and C) A low price point ($20) Call Of Duty: I know,sounds like a brownose to robb, but to be honest, these are the best WW2 games ive every played. (begin shameless plug)CoD2(DVD) is one of ,if not THE BEST titles for PC in 2005, I suggest buying it for everyone this holiday season (end shameless plug) One question though, when are we going to see a move to the pacific theater(marshall islands,guadalcanal)? HL2: Its a "real" sequel to the original. Great character and story development, along with great graphics and gameplay to boot. Plus, Valve pushed gaming retail to the next level with Steam. The Movies: Its the classic "god" game placed in a movie studio. What sets this product apart, IMHO, is that you can create your own short filmed products. We're starting to see a small community of homebrew Fellinis,Copollas and Tarrantinos come out of the woodwork and share their product with the masses. Sims: Its addictive and fun on a cereberal level. Easy enough for the casual gamer to get into and deep enough for the gaming junkie to get their fix. ...and some examples of what doesnt work: Quake 4: I remember playing this game, it was called "Star Trek: Elite Force". Nothing new brought to the table in development of gameplay or experience. Same ol' run n gun, no heart or emotion. Plus, the jackholes at raven spolied the games plot twist at E3, good job morons. Doom 3: Remake of the original, great graphics, still no heart or story developement. Id isnt the same since John Romero left, Carmack is more concerned about building his rocketships these days and it shows in the product. Madden: They took the lazy route over the past two years, same game with nothing new to add. Gotta love that they have the nerve and gaul to charge 50 bucks for the same thing they made in 2003.

I hate the malls during the holidays. I sat up at the mall last evening, as my GF works for the Greeting Card Mafia p/t and saw the lazy fat hicks who come from Oklahoma plod along at 2MPH with bags in one hoof and an Aunt Auddies Preztel in the other,always gawking with a dumbfounded look and a "Lookie there maw" sound to their voice.

I agree phishy...alot of crazed fanboys....im going out for a beer

Robb, you never cease to amaze me brother...Good TR with plenty of sideboob coverage. I expect nothing less from this fine site, I look forward to many more hot sideboob shots in the weeks and months to come

From what ive seen of the 360 so far, im not impressed. But, of course, it took MS time to pull out its killer app (Halo) and it did more for the xbox sales than all other promotions and stunts combined. The way its looking now, Gears Of War is appearing to be that "app" for the 360, too bad we'll have to wait until q2 2006 to see if it pays off...... ...and another thing for rob, why is it the gaming industry is making shorter games (max. 20-25 hrs) these days? I mean, we have faster systems for coding and desiging, why dont we see designers building longer games? My logic is If I pay 50 bucks, I expect 50 hours worth of gameplay

Again roberto, you have outdone yourself with great sideboob action shots

^ are you guys saying ME is teh suck?

^ I bet she does, Giggidy, giggidy, gig-gi-dy! Anywho, GF and I have been looking at going to vegas in the springtime,how are the rooms at the Monte Carlo??

^ I read the WDWMagic comments and I think they're WAAAAY off. Of course this is the same site that charges for viewing fullsize photos,as well as ride videos unlike our friends here at TPR, where you know the admins,dont get ripped for giving your 2 cents and best of all, its FREE!! ...also, im all for getting rid of Beverly and putting in Georga canned coffee

^ Like most new pieces of hardware, theres going to be issues with both the manufacture process and availability of units via retail channels. We've seen this with the PS1,PS2,XBOX and PSP. One reason some of the 360 units are overheating might be QC issues with one of the subcontractors that are building the units hardware. Its ALWAYS in the best interest of any company to make sure your product doesnt shock,overheat or worse, blow up in your customers face. ....besides, im waiting for PS3, unlike the XBOX360, sony will step up and provide their Triple A developers with devkits early in the development cycle,unlike Microsoft who had poor-mans alpha boxes running at E3

I slept...plain and simple... I dont believe in going shopping day after thanksgiving.

Myself, I find nothing more pesky or annoying than the North American Freerange Redneck. Ive tried baits,traps(both glue and metal),spraybombs.... even stomping them to death with the heel of my shoe, but they still come back and multiply in greater number. Ive learned to avoid trailer parks,swapmeets and NASCAR events, which are their most common habitats and breeding grounds. Also, ive learned giving them treats such as jerkied meats, cheap beer (Olympia,Milwaukies Best,Pabst) and unfiltered cigarettes will only encourage them to congregiate as well.

I just bought mine for the GF and I during fright fest. I have a feeling though the daniel synder-style price increases wont take effect until the 2007 season.

Chrissie, Very Kewl TR ya got there...I especially liked the Church shot, you dont see many places like that here in the states with so much history.
