The Hitman games definitely aren't for everybody. They require a very methodical approach that I doubt would be very suitable for movie adaptation. I'll see what they made of it though.

Sales figures in the toy store I work for: 1) Wii 2) Playstation 2 3) Xbox 360 4) Playstation 3 As for the portables, the DS is going so fast it's ridiculous. Every morning around 9am we get dozens of calls to see if we've received any yet.

Shelton Benjamin had a great tag team with Brock Lesnar back in OVW (I think they were called the Minnesota Stretching Crew). I think the only reason he hasn't had Lesnar's success is his lack of size, which still makes a huge difference in the Sports Entertainment variety of professional wrestling. I think that he'd perform better in a company like Ring of Honor, where fans are far more accepting of smaller wrestlers and wrestlers are expected to pull every move they can to make the matches more entertaining. Just look at Brent Albright, who briefly wrestled on SmackDown! as Gunner Scott. After being released he went straight to ROH, where he quickly got over because he got to use his amateur background more. His half-nelson suplex is something you'd never see in WWE. He's currently a member of the Hangm3n, one of the most vicious heel groups of the American independent scene.

SubBlack is a lot easier on the eyes in the morning...

What about death by osmosis? Adding a few teaspoons of table salt to a saline IV is all it takes.

I tried it before... a long time ago. It looked pretty but became incredibly boring in credibly quickly. It seemed that all the quests where either kill X monsters of a certain type or gather x amount of items dropped by a certain type of monster.

- Invest in a set of resealable plastic containers, tupperware or similar. I like to cook in bulk (stews or rice-based dishes are perfect for this) and stock my fridge with the leftovers. Sometimes I eat the same evening meals for a week. - Socks and underwear can be worn turned inside out in case of emergency. This rule applies up to the point where crusts begin to form.

The whole kids-these-days thing is as old as time itself. We are teaching children morals in school from day one, whether we realise it or not. We're taught to play nice and to share and to obey all the rules while the teachers whip us into thinking along their lines. Still, a philosophy class in high school would definitely be a good idea, with an emphasis on developing your own ideas rather than just plowing through the old philosophers over and over again.

Well, being a bachelor is also about living on your own, and learning to take care of yourself while securing your place in the world. Here's a quick recipe: 1) Come home at 4am hungry 2) Set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and pop in a frozen pizza 3) Collapse on the couch 4) Wake up 4-5 hours later 5) Remove the pizza-puck from the oven and challenge a housemate to a game of hangover hockey

Since there should be plenty of people on this forum living the life of what western society calls 'the bachelor' (including me), I thought it'd be a good idea to set up this topic as an open exchange of ideas, as well as a general discussion of the glorious creature that is the bachelor - a young male, living on his own or in a small group of fellow bachelors, that will not only survive, but thrive in circumstances that would quickly put an end to lesser human beings. The bachelor will happily eat anything, and after just a few months of training will be able to put together a four course gourmet meal in under an hour with just the contents of the bottom shelves and the back corner of the vegetable crisper. The bachelor possesses an incredible amount of ingenuity, as displayed by the creative use of tools - the general purpose wiping towel kept conveniently under the desk chair, opening two beer bottles by hooking them against each other or the ability to open walnuts with a butcher knife. So how adapt are you at the bachelor lifestyle? Any tips or tricks? Recipes? Survival methods? Anecdotes?

A chemical murder? A very simple one would be swapping the contents of some cleaning product bottles (mostly bleach) to kill a cleaner through chlorine gas.

When you realize that there are families struggling to live off 5% of what that dog gets a year, I wouldn't be surprised to find the dog torn limb from limb very soon, or at least used for a novel variation of the old 'eat the rich ' slogan.

Star One - Songs of the Ocean As we return to earth, memories are haunting me My strange rebirth, coming back to life I remember the dark and how my friends set me free I sacrificed my life so they could survive There's something wrong on planet Earth We can not reach our world Some strange device slowly emerged Can you hear the cries? There's something wrong, what can we do? We can't communicate All systems fail, all power too We can't reply It must be unaware of the damage it's creating They are reaching out to the seven seas It's not with man they're communicating We're going back in time, back in history There's something wrong, what can we do?

I'd make a glider out of the paper.

Right now I think TNA is doing one thing right - Amazing Kong. Other than that it seems like they're just so bad at the whole putting on a wrestling show thing. Last week's iMPACT! main event was Samoa Joe vs. Chris Sabin vs. A.J. Styles. This looks great on paper and it was probably the first time in a long time that their show was main evented entirely by 'homegrown talent'. However, they managed to ruin what would have been one of the best main events of the year by throwing in a commercial break every time they were building momentum. There really is no excuse for that kind of sloppy editing on a taped show. When SmackDown! puts on a main event of the same caliber and length, you'll never see more than one commercial break. They really need to look at themselves hard if they can't draw more than 25000 PPV buys with Kurt friggin' Angle in the main event. Right now they're just trying to do everything like WWE in stead of highlighting what makes them special. In 2005 they probably had their absolute high point when Samoa Joe defended the X-Division championship against A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels in the main event. By defending that title last in stead of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship they really elevated the status of the X-Division and showed that their product was something very different. They have guys like the Motor City Machine Guns and LAX in the tag division, yet the headliners of that division seem to be Team 3D and The Steiners. The X-Division belt is little more than a prop in a pointless feud that has been done a million times before. Jay Lethal managed to pin Angle clean for the X-Division belt, yet any momentum he gained from that was quickly lost when he became the whipping boy for Team 3D. They could easily have guys like Chris Harris, Samoa Joe and A.J. Styles main eventing for the TNA title, but in stead they keep insisting on Sting, Kurt Angle, Christian, and now probably Booker T. Booker T vs. Christian was little more than a SmackDown! midcard match about two years ago, so they can't really expect the fans to accept this as a credible main event matchup. Also, I advise all wrestling fans to click the Ring of Honor link in the bottom of my sig if you're interested in seeing the best of what American professional wrestling currently has to offer. Ring of Honor is an independent promotion that works with a combination of the very top of the American indy scene ("American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, Delerious, Chris Hero), European talent (Nigel McGuinness, Doug Williams, PAC, Jody Fleisch) and a healthy talent exchange with Japanese companies like Pro Wrestling NOAH and Dragon Gate (Naomichi Marafuji, KENTA, and most recently Mitsahuru Misawa from NOAH, Blood Generation, DO Fixer, Naruki Doi, SHINGO from Dragon Gate) to create an incredible product. Talented wrestlers, a booking team that knows what they're doing and a company that takes its fans serious. Up to 2006 their show also had a lot of TNA talent on it (Samoa Joe, Homicide, A.J. Styles, etc.), but TNA put an end to that when ROH got their first PPV deal. Their third PPV debuted yesterday. Review

I have a version of System Shock 2 that's a single 400+ MB file that contains the entire game, including some of the most popular patches and mods. It runs perfectly on Windows XP.

Nest the egg inside a piece of Styrofoam shaped like an Archimedes screw, and make sure it's at least twice as wide as it is tall. This should create a spiraling/gliding motion that will greatly reduce the rate of acceleration.

XERXES and The Many vs. SHODAN was definiately one of the creepiest rivalries I've ever observed...

The druid can't have been too thrilled about that :P

My student club has monthly D&D sessions. The rules are a bit more loosely defined to keep it more open-ended, and we generally have a lot of fun. I think during the last session the DM changed my alignment to Chaotic Irritating after I tried to talk two manor guards into trying to help me loot the manor they were supposed to be guarding (at that point two other party members had accidentally set the manor on fire and I suggested it'd be a good idea to see if they could pad their retirement fund a little, since they wouldn't be payed to guard a burnt-down ruin.
