Another Trilogy DVD Screw Up?
Time
I should be able to change the size ratio of my TV then, like a computer monitor, so this cropping dosen't occur. I used to be able to do this with the old TV we had back home, a 1976 PAL-M wooden boxed relic with that channel selector you had to twist. I used to bang the top very hard and I would be able to control the "size" of the image by banging on it. God knows what was happening inside

Like goldeneye, half life series, metal gear solid series, counter strike, and so on?


Things I hate: buying condoms. Maybe it's because I'm still the same person I was when I was 15, maybe it's because I'm a paranoic loony, but it seems like everyone around stops what his doing and looks at me, the person at the cash register looks like is trying not to laugh at me (thinking "how can this loser geting any?"), and why are there always senior citizens and kids near me at this time? Always!

Favorite Board Games
Time
The only board game I've played that's available internationally is Monopoly, and I never liked it much because it took too long and I sucked at it. As a kid I loved board games, I had lots of them... There was this place near home where you could leave your ID and take a board game with you, and return it for free after you played it, I used to go with some friends, we played every game there was...

Ohh I played Clue too. That's the one with the killers cards, and the weapons and the rooms, right? Colonel Mustard in the living room with a lightsaber was always my answer. Do you know they did a movie based on that board game, with 3 different endings?

It's OK.

About the cropping: something I've noticed while watching for the 1000th time my "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" DVD. There's a goof at the end of the "castle anthrax" scene, in which an arm of a crew member can be brifely seen on the left side of the screen, right when Lancelot is scorting Galahad out of the castle ("I bet you're gay." - "No I'm not!" part). Now, when I watched the movie on my computer, using Windows Media Player, I could see the arm. When I watched it on my DVD player on a TV set, I couldn't see the arm at all... So, I guess that the player might also crop the image?

Exactly, he was supposed to be a secondary character and suddenly got fans interest. I never really cared for Bobba Fett, and the first times I've seen ESB I almost didn't notice him at all...

No longer a vegan and when Conan O'Brien asked her what the first bite of a hamburger was like she responded; "The word orgasm comes to mind." (December 2003)


That cracks me up to no end.

Sorry to go off track, but you all were talking about Nat as a vegan, so I thought I'd chime in.


LOL!! She was having a Big Kahuna burger or something ("hmn, that's a tasty burger")...

I never knew of someone who was a vegetarian and is not anymore... But good to know that she enjoyed a burger...

I know what you mean... I've played on arcade too, and I'm sure the console version must not be the same thing (I've seen it, but I didn't actually play it).
