I'm just waiting on someone to find a steamID, gamertag, or the like and pick apart his gaming history. All the industry needs is to see cut scenes from Dead Space 2 shooting up the mutated first-graders and babies or the airport scene from MW on a MSM/cable news loop.

Hysteria and knee-jerk reactions just pile-on and encourage the sh*t legislation- maybe Al & Tipper Gore can fire up the PMRC again and start going after gaming, I'm sure a fair share of both parties will join in.

There are many ex-military/ex-police/ex-security people who are parents/grandparents and I'd be they'd be more than willing to do it. Also, the NRA has offered to pay for the training of anyone who would be willing to do this.

That's the thing...you don't hear about these horrific school shooting happening in the inner cities. I have heard the idea of ex-military...I like that.

It seems to me that members of the NRA are probably more likely then most to let their kids play Call of Duty and the like at an early age, so it seems like the NRA is attacking their own members. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

So is Black Ops 2 good, or should I buy MW3?

Is there a Blu-Ray version of the original Star Wars Trilogy, theatrical release? You know, Han shoots first and all that. Or are we stuck with the new and "improved" versions on Blu-Ray?

At least it seemed like most places around here were prepared for the snow by salting the highways and such this morning when it first started.

Only version of the Theatrical Version ever released was on VHS Tape (First Release, not the Silver Box Trilogy) and on LaserDisc.

Thats it.

*whoop whoop whoop*

Nerd alert!

I still haven't seen Star Wars.

Anyone here own a Roku? Considering picking one up (either that or an AppleTV, but I like the idea of channels) to replace my $110/mo Time Warner Cable.

Splitting head aches, body breaking down...I think I may be getting hit with multiple illnesses at once. Maybe the end of the world wasn't going to be specifically today, but STARTED today.

From now on anybody who gets sick is never going to get better, and slowly the population will die out.

I do. I like it a lot. I use it mostly for Netflix though. Crackle is really good too.

I haven't had cable since college, more than six years ago.

I bought one for my parents for Christmas. Microcenter has them on sale online. Got the xd for 56 shipped.

The missus and I got a Roku this week. Pretty nice so far but apparently some of her Hulu Plus shows won't stream to Roku devices (but that's because Hulu is a shitty company, not Roku's fault).

I set up one for my Mom and a friend who dropped cable (we are sharing the big 3 pay streaming services and HBO) it impressed me with it's quality, simplicity and easy set up.

Our LG TV has the apps for all the same services (except for some of the channels) or I would have one- and I still want one for the BR.

@SP Hulu has got to renegotiate those contracts, I've seen some that pop-up in the TV's Hulu Plus App with "web browser only" too. It somehow recognizes the flash in the TV's browser mode and blocks it as well.

I'd considered the AppleTV for AirPlay and mirroring from my iPad/Mac, but it seems like I can do the same thing with Plex. That and the Roku is half price - I figure that's almost half a year of Hulu I can pay for instead.

I have a VHS copy of the trilogy that came out in like '94. My partner has the LaserDisc versions that hes holding onto dear life fire lol

Anyone tried the Nike Fuelband? Looks interesting.

I owned one. Kinda cool, but way overpriced for what you get. Really hard to get a proper reading if you tend to talk with your hands since its all by movement.

My H.S had an armed police officer. She had her own office, delt with the random fights and so forth. If you're a mad lunatic with a gun, do you try to shoot up the school with a Glock 9 at the front office? Probably not.
