Just checked NCSX's site and found this BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

update: April 15, 2009 at 11:56AM EST
Suppliers in Hong Kong have returned from the Spring holiday and the ship date for the next batch of Demon's Souls from Sony Hong Kong appears to be April 27-28 according to our distributors. If it is released any earlier, we'll update again. All backorders will be processed and shipped once the next batch arrives. Thanks.

Ive learned long ago that American Idol cannot be counted upon to only run an hour even if scheduled that way.  I always set my DVR to tape from 9-11 so I dont miss a minute of fringe.

Ive had Vector for about a year now.  No complaints works good.   Average price plan like the rest of them.

What is an average price?  I pay ADT $115 every three months, but haven't called them in over 10 years to see if I can get a better rate.

I believe with automatic debit its roughly $30/month.

Just wanted to give credit to Rittchard for posting about this game in The Wanderers forums.  He is what got me started on this game.  Im currently on the only pve us server that starts with a G cant remember the name.  Im currently at lvl 14 Rogue/11 scout and still having a good time.  I havent really ventured far into the lands yet as im trying to tradeskill a bit and the mats i need are still in newbie land.  Lots of stuff to do still and im not getting bored as of yet.  I still think this is a keeper for a while and am pleasantly surprised how much fun I am having. 

To Fez you have to leave the starter area when you get lvl 10 and go to Silversprings main city varnase or something and speak to someone there about getting your second class.

Thought I would talk about this game a little bit.  For more info check http://www.runesofmagic.com/us/index.html  Its definitely a wow-like game but its FREE to play.  Yes it has elements of paying for upgradable items but they are attainable albeit difficult without paying.  It has some good quests and a nice crafting system IMO and is easy to pick up and play.  Learning cure is pretty low and it also has a dual classing system.  If your into pvp there are pvp servers regular pve servers which I'm playing on have a dueling system in place.   Each level they give you gifts which is essentially equipment etc that you can actually use.  Low level loot is also for the most part usable instead of the usual vendor trash.  I have only dabbled in the game so far only dual classing 1 toon to level 10 but its providing me with a lot of entertainment at the moment.  I recommend anyone in a mmog rut to give it a try and see what you think of it.

Well the funny thing is... for $8/mo, DirecTV has a Sports package that includes FSN West and FSN Prime Ticket, which are the networks that carry hockey in SoCal.  I won't even have to buy Center Ice anymore.  Had I known that years ago, I would have switched then.

I am going to find it very, very, very difficult not to buy the NFL Package next season though.  In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and say that's going to happen no matter how hard I try not to.

Start saving your money now that NFL package is expensive not to mention the extra 100 they want for HD.  I get it every year though no matter what they charge and they know it unfortunately.

does Bioshock on Steam only have the Steam DRM, and none of the 'limited activation' SecuROM crap?

While I cant say 100% certain that it does not.  The game page itself does not list any and I know there are some other games on steam that clearly show the drm it has.

As a Sooner fan I was extremely happy to see Tech get throttled.  Im also happy to see Texas  getting  bumped in favor of the Sooners especially after the signs, flyovers, Mack Brown on the air of the OU-OSU game. However, Imo there were 2 teams screwed no matter who got in.  All 3 beat each other and all 3 had a case for it, It just so happened that OU lost first out of the 3 teams, which imo is the reason OU made it since they ran the rest of the schedule over like a freight train.  Im really just tired of the whole thing and thought the Short version posted did not accurately depict the whole situation.
45-35

Texas should have taken care of business in Lubbock, so I didn't stay depressed too long.

I hope Florida rolls OU by a bajillion.

Well at least you can say you beat the defending 3 time big 12 champions.  Have fun in Arizona..  I am pulling for Texas though since I hate the Buckeyes even worse.  Boomer Sooner
/shrug

We lost to the rules of the Big 12. It took me a while to get over the fact that if the Big 12 had been using the rules of any other of the conferences that have separate divisions, Texas would have won the tie breaker. But, hey, it is what it is.

Good thing about going to the Fiesta is that Texas gets to roll my second most hated team and end up 2nd after Florida puts up about 80 on OU.

-Randy

Just havin' a bit of fun with ya', man.  icon_biggrin

Heh yeah,  I kinda figured you were just having fun.  I was as well.  Anywho good luck in the Fiesta, hope you have better luck than we did the last 2 years.  Im glad to be getting out of there.   icon_biggrin

Can someone explain to me how ,"Texas was screwed".  I don't follow college football, so 'm not up on this screwing by the BCS

Short version:  Texas and Oklahoma both have identical 1 loss records.  Oklahoma is in the Championship game, even though Texas beat them 45-35 in a head-to-head match-up.

Slightly longer version.  Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech have identical 1 loss records.  Each team beat the other so there was a 3 way tie.  In the rules set up before the season started it was determined that in the case of a three way tie the highest BCS ranked team would go to the Conferance championship game.  Since that was Oklahoma they went.  Its a sucky rule, but that was the rule.  So therefore if Texas was screwed so was Texas Tech.

Not a tip but as the only RN on my unit fairly computer literate I was helping to teach a new nurse who is older in age how to use our charting system.  The mouse cursor was on the left side of the screen and the program icon was on the right hand side of the screen.  I told her to move her mouse to that icon and double click, so she picks the mouse up off the pad and puts it on the screen over the icon and clicks.   icon_eek  I told her to just go ahead and go home and I would bring her back with a one on one session to teach her.

I think the local media are hoping he or Kestler will fill the grit shoes that Linden wore for many seasons. Based upon both of their performances so far, it's looking possible.


Yeah well Alex was always full of grit in the Echl.  He was a very emotional, agitator and when he got under someones skin good he made them pay for their undisciplined play with a goal.  I hope it all works well with him,  Its good to see the youngins grown up and playing in the Big leagues.  Ive gotten to see several of them when they were just getting into the minors like Alex Auld, Former coach Ted Nolan's son Brandon, Eric Boulton, and a few others.

Hmmm.  OSU in 2005 regular season opponents records 75-54  not too shabby we got a power house. Wait ohhh here is 2006 76-75 yeah championship team there oh wait they lost.  2007 has to be the year right they are sooo awesome.  Opponents record 67-70.  They beat some power houses there so OSU has to be in and win the BCS oh wait they got stomped again.  At least this year we dont have the media darlings that are so far up Tressel and the buckeyes backside able to send them to another undeserving game like last year.  They are an above average team in a lousy conference.  They are no powerhouse. 
116  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: College football is finally here! on: September 15, 2008, 02:09:14 AM
Sorry Im late to the party again, but yeah the condoms put a hurtin on the head cheese of the big 1.  USC looked good but tosu is not a powerhouse and hasnt been in the past 3 years.  I think USC will be in the NC game with the winner of the BIG 12.  While I think the SEC has a few good teams this year, playing each other will ultimately knock them all out.  So, In my opinion look for a USC vs OU/Missouri matchup in the Orangebowl.  Im hoping its OU since I have tickets to the NC game this year but Mizzou is looking pretty impressive on O.

In the same boat as others. If the lifetime was $200 or less, I would probably buy it for many of the mmogs out there only if they let me buy it after the first month.  I tend to subscribe and cancel and resub etc.  I think in the long run I would probably get my moneys worth and then some for the majority of the games.
