RIP Sheldon "{ROX}WavTrades" McClure
I'm posting this for those of you that knew Wave. He was a good guy and will be missed. I know very little about his passing. He had dinner with his wife on 2/2/19. He went to a friend's house. They thought he had fallen asleep in a chair. Later they realized he wasn't sleeping. They tried CPR and ...

I enjoyed the film a lot. First impression was almost all positive. Liked the cast, script, effects, music, everything. On reflection, the things that bother me are fairly minor. That said: 1. In many ways my biggest complaint is that the wormhole/time travel stuff is really played out. It is one of ...

Re:

Just stop and think about it. Middle school and high school are souped up daycare for most children. I thought so when i was there.

Some day I may do that as well. However, it would be somewhat problematic... I'm not really interested in having a PC in my livingroom. It's bad enough I have three in the office.

There are three trailers and a mini doc about the game here
I thought the ads for Resistance 2 looked cool. So I checked out the first one and loved it!!! If you have a PS3 and havent't played it yet, I highly recommend it.

It is wholly naive to assume that military tactics of the Islamic world against the West, i.e. terrorism, has more to do with their relgion than it does their military inferiority.

Kilarin is absolutely correct. In fact, his first post is one of the most concise and cogent I've ever read on this board. Refreshing really.
