:OMG: :OMG: :OMG: :OMG: Meh, it'll probably be disappointing. It was real weird for me when they had the voices in FFX, and I know the characters won't sound anything like I've imagined. But still, it warrants, at the very least, a rental.

Cheap Heat is correct.

The banjo player in Deliverance has played in one other film. Name it. (Note: This question came from my roommate, since he answered the previous question)

Ororo. Even if Duff was equipped with say, a refridgerator box, she isn't strong enough to cover Storm in it against a hurricane force wind.

From my roommate, who loves this stuff: Romper Stomper.

I would probably go with one of the offerings from Creative personally. They're just as good as the iPods (or so the reviews say), and are cheaper at comparable feature levels. Creative MuVo TX FM - Probably the best solid state player on the market. And only $95 from buy.com. Creative Zen Touch - Probably the best Hard Drive player out at it's price. And judging by what you want to do with it, this is probably a good deal for you. I don't want to intentionally steer you away from iPods, though. They're great, and everybody I know who has one has been very happy with it. But if you haven't committed to a music subscription service, shop around. Dell has some nicely priced items too. With the uses you listed, battery life and audio quality are probably your main concerns, so shop around.

BodyDonnas and Donna. No way any straight man could kill Sunny AND Donna.

Is Sunny with the BodyDonnas?

I hope not. The Ultimates don't need him (but might when Iron Man bites the dust). Plus, wouldn't Spidey come with a lot of baggage for the Ultimates (like, Venom and Carnage)? If he joined any of the Ultimate teams, he'd be a better fit for the X-Men. But I would hope he stays a loner in New York since that fits his powers and personality the best.

Link 5 has been used.

Ok, here's the deal. It's 10.4 GB's worth of X-Men goodness. I'm willing to send one season to one person at a time, overnight. Oh and you better have a damned fast connection. So, I await on AIM.

X-Men, and I have all five seasons in near-DVD quality awaiting to be burned to CD's.

It was a joke, jackass. Hence the emoticon. And it's no longer sigged, since people don't have a sense of humor. EDIT: Sorry for the tone of this post. I was in a bad mood when I saw DJ's post, and overreacted.

Quoted and sigged for truth.

Dr. Doom looks pretty good.

Hogan. Yellow tights.

Vader attempts to drop the toaster in on the Dark Lord of the Sith. Unfortunately for the WCW champion, Vader hears the requisite hoss grunt. Lord Vader catches the toaster in midair, and chokes Big Van to death with the cord, while washing his mouth out with with soap.

You don't have to play it online. You just have to be online for the registration and then you can play offline.

Neighbor girl.

Why do you think this is a big brother tactic? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't really see how this invades one's privacy.

As I'm typing this, thousands of people are beginning to install their copies of Half-Life 2, the game every PC gamer has been drooling over since 1999. Some of these people, namely those who camped out at Best Buy or EB to get a hard copy of the game, are in for a rude awakening. Half-Life 2 forces registration. I'm not entirely sure on the specifics, but after the code leak sent production haywire, Valve was pretty much determined to prevent a leak of the final (or a late beta) version of the game from even mattering, a lesson the console world would do well to heed. The game has to be activated, after the user is granted an activation code from Valve, seemingly through the Steam client. Now, that's not to say that the game is "unpiratable," that would be stupid, but it has already stopped pre-orderers whose stores gave them their copies as soon as they had them from getting to play the game before everyone else, and makes the CD images that are floating around the Internet the rough equivalent of a paperweight for hard drive space. At least until a clever hacker finds a way around the activation code and distributes his solution to general public, that is. And so begins the era of forced registration. Personally, I like the idea. As a gamer who tends to register his games (mostly for the tech support, and online play requirements of many games) I feel better knowing that piracy is much harder on games that employ a similar method. Since the industry cites piracy as a reason for the general high cost of games (not that it's outrageous or anything, but that's a different topic) maybe industry-wide adoption of this system could cause prices to decline. I also like the idea of having a gamer type kinda thing for match-making in online play. If I buy a lot of RTS games, I don't really want to play with someone random who just got their first. Granted, there are downsides. Many people see this as a big brother sort of thing. Many people don't like giving out personal information (like address and phone number) to companies. There are probably other downsides too, but I can't think of any right now.

I should probably add that if you're familiar with BitTorrent, Suprnova might help. I just checked, and they have a ton of the SCUMM games, including a 15-game collection (which had to have the game in question), but not the game by itself, and you might not want to download over 2 GB's worth of stuff just to get Maniac Mansion. You never know when it might pop up on that tracker though, as there is a ton of other abandonware.

This site should help. It's got a NES Rom as well as demos for the PC version. Also has speed videos made using the NES version. I don't know if you'll be able to find a non-deluxe version of the PC game, but out of curiosity, why don't you just get the deluxe version?

This is odd. They didn't sue the makers of Freedom Force despite the fact that the Patriot was Captain America with colonial era attire. Anyway, the Disney channels had the X-Men and Spider-Man toons in heavy rotation this weekend, so the Disney suit over the cartoons probably won't last much longer. This suit is kinda stupid, there's pretty much every power imaginable in the Marvel Universe, so technically any character could be a Marvel ripoff. Plus, there aren't really any Marvel RPG's (well, X-Men Legends sort of is, but it also has a lot of RTS elements), so why is it NCSoft's fault for letting people RP with superheroes similar to their comic book favorites?
