Aye, thanks for the break down shift that had to take time, well done.

Sorry Skyline, Gabe already stated no CS:GO for Canadians.

But he tells jokes, and laughs and sings, Bonzi can't be bad.

Super Troopers For repeated viewings, nothing matches it And yea - Tombstone rules, Kurt Russel's second best picture behind The Thing(the original), and his third best, Big Trouble in Little China - the check is in the mail. Memento just makes your head hurt. Since Once Upon a Time in the West was mentioned, I'll mention the rest of the best of Sergio Leone: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few More Dollars, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - a great loosely connected trilogy that helped define the "Spaghetti" western. Once Upon a Time in America, while incredibly long(4 1/2 hours original cut), defined the modern gangster movie and is excellent. Equililbrium is a great B-movie - similar to Orwell's 1984 starring an early Christian Bale and has Sean Bean Some classics everyone should see: Casablanca - The best of Bogart Seven Samurai - Foreign classic, required watching Dr Strangelove - Kubrick's(of A Clockwork Orange, etc) only comedy, excellent Citizen Kane - Rosebud Lawrence of Arabia - An epic biopic about T.E. Lawrence with a interesting bit of middle eastern history in the WWI era Metropolis - A 1927 silent movie set in the distance future with androids and revolution - helped inspire the movie Blade Runner Cool Hand Luke - Probably my most favorite movie of the 60s with Paul Newman, everyone knows the "What we have here is failure to communicate" One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - Kesey may have hated the film version but it none the less excellent and excruciatingly depressing Dog Day Afternoon - Based on a true story of a bank robbery in order to pay for a lame man's sex change starring an early Al Pacino Chinatown - Roman Polanski's most famous, tho anything from Polanski is typically excellent Ice Station Zebra - About recovering a film canister from one of the Keyhole satellites, really not good but I can't help but watch it - blame Howard Hughes B Horror Movies: Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness - Evil Dead 2 being the best imho Dead Alive - Incredibly cheese gore zombie movies, definitely has some scenes that will upset some, Peter Jackson. Meet the Feebles - Imagine the Muppets on crack and prostituting themselves - another early Peter Jackson of LoTR fame The Story of Riki-Oh - What my avatar is from, super cheese gore, makes no sense, makes me want to learn to play the leaf If you're not of the faint of heart, anything from Takashi Miike, king of Japanese shock horror, just beware he's made stuff that'll make your average 4chan user throw up Classic WW2: Midway - Story of the Battle of Midway starting Heston and Fonda Patton - The story of America's most insane modern general The Dirty Dozen - About taking men from the brig for a one-way secret mission in France during D-Day A Bridge to Far - About Market Garden, Montgomery failed plan to end WW2 resulting in nothing good The Desert Fox - A decent biopic about Rommel, master of tank warfare, attempted assassin of Hitler The Great Escape - Steve McQueen, enough said. Stalag 17 - American POWs held by the Nazis with escapes and betrayal Kelly's Heros - Light hearted WW2 comedy Recent war movies: Band of Brothers: If you have watched this, do it now The Pacific: Not as good as above but none-the-less excellent set in the pacific war of WW2 Defiance: Based on a true story of Jewish brothers escaping the Nazi's and living in the woods, rescuing over a thousand more jews Schindler's List: Needs to be watched at least one time, after you're done and you've lost all hope for humanity watch the recent Louie CK interview on Conan about it and it'll cheer you up Downfall: Watch Hitler's final days in his bunker, was well made fun of/sampled from on the internet after it came out Black Hawk Down: See Delta Force, the 75th Rangers, and the 160th Nightstalkers in what is supposed to be one of the more accurate portrayal of modern war, very little character building The Pianist: Roman Polaski again, be prepared to be depressed Das Boot: Geman movie about the crew of a u-boat - by far the best submarine based war movie Saints of Soldiers: About survivors after the Malmedy Massacre Platoon: Vietnam, all star cast including Willem Dafoe, can't go wrong. The Hunt for Red October: Tom Clancy novel, one of my favorites Good Morning Vietnam: My favorite of Robin Williams Rescue Dawn: Based on a true story, Vietnam POW, directed by Herzog, starring Christian Bale Left out the more famous recent ones like Saving Private Ryan Alright, I'm done...

MC server is up and running using 1.1, dynmap is up too. Looks like bukkit just go updated to 1.2 a couple of days ago, but beta only build. If you've already updated your client download http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/applications/7573-minecraft-version-tool-windows-linux-mac.html.

Don't feel bad my feet are so hobbitish they're almost square, don't even get me started on hair.

Aye it was/is a great game, easy to learn too if you wanna give it a shot. Its available on SNES/GBA/3DO too if you have an emulator setup

Ah, I've been running in a Windows XP VirtualBox machine, works fine just need to slow it down first.

And JackieChan is a jerk and I've spent 10 hours today playing simtower.

Been busy with some other stuff, FreeBSD doc work, wikipedia edits, and been playing with Wii homebrew a lot.

Wow samurai, thats barely better than dialup speed. Yuck. $35/month here, no contract

Lets hope it stays that way mohawk, don't want to you stinking up the new CS:GO server.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=35585202 Certainly nothing official but supposed screenshots of SC V and a little write up on it, and it looks back to its roots after the Simcity Societies flop. I still play Simcity 4, would be pumped if its real. Also if its anything like SimCity 4 it'll take 2 years before it runs decent and doesn't crash every 30 minutes

@Biggs As long as you're running Windows Vista/7 you already have a (read) RAM cache, Window's SuperFetch which is quite intelligent, don't know how it scales > 8G of memory tho. As far as the video I believe they're just using http://www.superspeed.com/servers/supercache.php, which can be used on any PC but for most users probably won't do much for performance.

Haha, never knew so many people knew of Riki-Oh. Best scene is still when one of the gang of five commits suicide by cutting open his own stomach and strangling Ricki with his own intestines, or maybe when Riki-oh punches that guys fist off and his jaw, or when he ties his own tendons back together using his teeth, or whenever he plays the leaf. Now I need to watch it again.

Now if anyone can guess what it is from without cheating and using TinEye or the like I'll be impressed

Are you happy now?

Been busy myself, new rescue dog, my 62" TV is fixed again so we do movie nights a lot again now, and I started playing through Phantasy Star II again which is so frikken hard it'll take forever.

Lou, I've broken one SATA power connector off when I was pulling a drive out at a weird angle and it snapped off at the base for very little force. Have been more careful since - kinda of like the time I applied a bit(but not very much) pressure to the top of a 2.5" HDD when it was running and heard the actuator arm bump in to the ever so slightly depressed cover, only once One thing to note about the docking station is the SATA group only rates the data/power connector for something like 25 or 50 removal/insertions - the actual manufacturer of the connector(probably Molex in most cases) will probably rate it higher tho, like 250-1000, but probably not the best solution if you're looking for long-term.
