    Palin's first interview

    http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=5782924&page=1 Here it is, boys. She expresses confidence, that's for sure. Funny that she had never been outside of US/Canada/Alaska before the trip to Kuwait. Never met a foreign leader. Hmm...

    Bogus "Lipstick on a pig" controversy

    This has to have its own topic. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080910/ap_on_el_pr/obama_lipstick McCain has sunk to a new low. Is he serious with the accusation that this is an attack on Palin's gender? I will be even more disappointed than usual if the American public falls for this kind of...

    What is your net worth?

    I got to thinking about CAGers' undying devotion to buying games. Lots and lots of games. And then I started to wonder how much folks around here were worth -- is it crazy that we buy all these games or can we afford them? So, everyone, belly up to the bar -- what is your net worth? Include...

    My HDTV has arrived

    I just received my 46 inch KDLXBR4 Sony today and it is a beautiful set. I won't have HD service until next Friday. Right now, I have standard definition DirecTV. The receiver is hooked up to the HDTV with an S-video connection. I had heard that standard definition doesn't look too good on...

    Am I crazy?

    So, I've more or less decided to take the HD plunge (I know, some people are definitely not first adopters). I have always had Sony sets in the past, and I am strongly considering maintaining that position. To wit, I am seriously considering purchasing the 46" XBR4 LCD from Amazon at the...

    Guitar Hero 1

    I just received the Guitar Hero 2 bundle with guitar -- it freakin' rocks! Looking at the set lists, I think I would mildly prefer Guitar Hero 1. I was wondering if it was available anywhere under the $39.99 price I see everywhere. Thanks in advance to any of you who can point me to a deal!

    Iran holds conference on the Holocaust

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061212/wl_nm/iran_holocaust_dc Wow. Iran is holding an international conference to "investigate" the Holocaust -- whether it happened, to what extent it happened, etc. David Duke was a featured speaker! It is hard to believe that (a) there are still people...

    Prices for Xbox 360 games

    Well, I just took the plunge and ordered a 360. After holding out this long, I couldn't resist the recent deal at Overstock.com (premium system shipped for $360). My concern now is the price of the games -- I can't stomach the thought of paying $60 for a game, not after enjoying the bounty...

    Eb Games sales -- Have they disappeared after merger?

    Ever since the Eb Games - Gamestop merger went through, it seems like ebgames.com has become more like gamestop.com. What do I mean? They don't offer the killer deals that they used to. Remember when ebgames.com would drop the price on a game to, say, 9.99 and then it would jump back up and...

    Ipod speakers?

    Gentlemen -- Can anyone give me some suggestions for good Ipod speakers? I know JBL and Bose (I think) make some, but I was wondering whether anyone had some good insights into quality/value/etc. I am looking for a present for my girlfriend and thought this might be a good idea. Thanks.

    Top 5 actors of all time

    Who are your top 5 actors of all time? The list should include not just those who are popular, but the ones you particularly enjoy watching, even if they are a little under the radar. Here are mine: 1. Clint Eastwood -- I have always loved this guy, from the time of his old westerns to the...

    Judge Alito is the SCOTUS nominee

    I thought this nomination deserved its own thread (not the one posted by PAD about quotes changing over time). Judge Sam Alito is a judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Here is his bio: http://air.fjc.gov/servlet/tGetInfo?jid=26 While some have called him Scalito, that really isn't...

    More Bush subterfuge?

    Anyone else think it is a bit odd that Bush gives a "terrorism" speech today and then issues another amorphous terrorism warning right when he is under attack for indictments, the horrible Miers nomination, the Iraq/Katrina debacle, etc...

    Harriet Miers is the SCOTUS pick

    Bush annonced today that White House counsel Harriet Miers is his pick to replace Sandra D. O'Connor. What an underwhelming pick, particularly coming on the heels of the Roberts selection. This really smacks of cronyism to me. Here is her bio...

    I just ordered a DS

    So, I took advantage of the WalMart deal for a DS + Super Mario 64 for $129 (with shipping and tax, a total of $148). Now that I jumped into the handheld arena (I never owned a GB), I was wondering what you guys would recommend that I pick up. For example, should I get: * Screen cover? *...

    XBN magazine shut down

    So, I understand that XBN magazine has been shut down. I just renewed my subscription about 3 months ago. It is good through 12/05. I have not been notified of a refund or any other recompense. Does anyone know whether my renewal $$ are gone or will I be reimbursed?

    Has anyone here played me in NFL 2k5 on XBL?

    My XBL name is OcarinaOfTime. Just curious who on here I may have beaten down! Seriously, though, I would be interested in joining a league if another one is going to be starting up anytime soon. Provided, of course, that I get to be the Seahawks!

    Video game chairs

    I was wondering whether anyone knew of a good chair specifically made for playing video games. I think there was one mentioned in the most recent EGM (a black and red rocking chair-type), but I can't remember what it was called or the website. Can someone help me out with a link or...

    Liesure Suit Larry

    Anyone thinking of getting this game? Looks pretty weak to me. I wonder how long it will take before it is in the reduced bin. Over/Under on the number of weeks before it is selling for $19.99: 8 weeks.
