Best Shareware or Free Online PC Games.
Kongregate.com has a good variety of free online games to play, but I guess you're looking for more than just referrals to other sites with games on them :-#

Are step-parents inherently evil?
I have a step-grandmother, she's quite cool. Evilness is overrated anyway.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Transsiberian - Was one of those random movies at Blockbuster that you don't go to rent, but it looks good so you try it anyways. Very good movie, quite thrilling and suspenseful at moments... kind of reminded me of some Hitchcock movies. Great cast too (Woody Harrelson - one of his best performance IMO, Ben Kingsley, Eduardo Noriega, etc)

I'd let him name himself and wear scuba flippers if he wanted to.

The Big Three (GM, Ford and Chrysler)
So to sum it up, you want to initialize communism into the playing field? wahh wahh communism. This isn't the 50s anymore. I'm not saying we should turn into some classless society where everyone is paid equal wages, sorry. I'm proposing that the government buys (at least 2 of) the Big 3 and puts them to good use. They should drop most of their car models, keep only the more efficient and better-selling vehicles, and put the rest of their assets into building this new transportation infrastructure. If you're looking for an accurate term to call this, try "nationalization".

Twilight Zone, anyone still remember it?
I've seen a lot of them, and I can't say I've ever disliked one. Some were alright, but most were very enjoyable. Many of my favorite episodes featured Burgess Meredith. Even if you don't know the name, you'll most likely recognize his face if you've watched enough Twilight Zone (or seen Rocky). IMO, the best episode from any season is The Obsolete Man. Edit:: You can watch it here- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 6113083897

The Big Three (GM, Ford and Chrysler)
Ford has a market cap of around $7b and GM around $2.7b. Chrsyler is privately held, but it's estimated worth is $2b... although its parent company recently announced that its stake in Chrysler had a book value of zero dollars after write offs and charges. Instead of bailing these companies out, the US government should just buy a controlling share of their stock, then use the companies' assets to build automobiles and other transportation that people actually want to use. Buying the companies would've cost less than the bailout, and future bailouts, given to them. And once the government has control of the companies, instead of complaining about their poor corporate leadership, they can fire them and replace them with new management. From what I understand, Obama is hoping to start some massive new infrastructure construction, and these auto companies have both the materials and labor required to complete such a task. Not only would the millions of jobs be preserved, the country would finally receive an overhauled and modernized transportation system worthy of the 21st century. A simple bailout isn't going to save the big 3. The economy is failing, and most people aren't willing to pay $15k-$25k for a new vehicle, especially one from a company that may go bankrupt in the next month. Ford and GM have a combined $414b in liabilities and, I'm sorry but, a little bailout isn't going to fix that. A drastic change has to happen, and a government-takeover would certainly be one.

The quest was like a direct copy of the Macalania Temple's cloister of trials from Final Fantasy X.

old tip.it archives?
^ wins the topic. Yeah majority of the old topics were lost due to a intellectual property dispute with the old forum host. I was only around for a few months for Scapeboard, but the only topic I really remember was a giant mathematically-based one written by Moridin explaining why it was better to use pray while Thieving (cakes? I think).

The Offical TIF American Elections thread
If that was directed at me I was talking about the piece of bolded text in the quote I was commenting on. ;) I know. Orly is a strange first name, and the one thing I learned from this year's election coverage is that you shouldn't trust people with weird names.

Black Friday... (Post your deals you find here)
Cyber Monday hasn't taken off quit like Black Friday so I wouldn't expect there to be to many sales. there are/ were plenty of discounts out there, it's just that the economy sucks so people are hesitant to spend money on stuff they don't necessarily need. and 'Cyber Monday' has only been going on for a couple years, so it'd be foolish to think it would match the scope of Black Friday. anyways, I got a good deal on a HP laptop earlier today. Free upgrades from 1 to 4gb of RAM, and from 160 to 320gb HD.

Black Friday... (Post your deals you find here)
"Cyber Monday" is coming soon, so expect some more good deals. I'm personally planning to order a laptop within the next couple days. Newegg has an Acer laptop with 4gb of RAM and 160gb HD for $550 (+ free shipping).

Roach Workers: F2P's Best kept Secret?
i don't know how well known this is, but ankous are fantastic for range exp. it's very fast exp (if you have high range level), and you get great drops. ankous weren't that popular when i had trained there ~2 years ago, but it might have changed since then. they're not so good for melee exp, as you'll go through food pretty fast, but they're awesome for range.

Top 250 F2P Skill Total List
:thumbsup: I seriously do not understand where these people find the time to level all these stats in F2P... I know they all probably started in the RSC era (or at least half of them), but... :shock: I don't think half of them started playing in RSC. Rs2 has been out for long enough that if someone started with it, and no-lifed/played long enough, they could easily have 1400+. I'm fairly certain MNH never played rsc, and shes almost 1450 total. Sure some of us started in RSC, but our numbers on the list are falling :cry:
