Yeah, I know that. I was merely expressing the presumption that Protestants are less likely to be studied up on Papal tradition than Catholics are. Moreover, I'm sure you've noticed that Protestants tend to focus more on Paul than on Peter as the preeminent progenitor of pure Christian doctrine, so Xhonzi's lil' mix-up struck me as somewhat humorous.

Nah, it was more of a thinking one thing and writing another.  I did indeed mean Peter.  Probably just have the Beatles on the Brain.

Hey Xhonz, there was no ET arcade game. That catastrophe is a mess x 2600.

Quite right.  I was trying to lump some 2600 games with early arcade since I can't remember if I ever played Pac Man on arcade, 2600, later Atari, early PC, etc...  Adventure, I think, was also not an Arcade game.  Since I eventually broke the 2600 games out into their own block, I will move E.T. and some others over to the correct list.

Dig out System Shock 2?

You know, I've come this close to playing System Shock (1 & 2).  I was setting up an 'xpadder' profile so that I could pay SS1 on my 360 gamepad.  So shoot me, I didn't want to play with my laptop's touch pad and I didn't want to drag out a mouse.  But there was one fatal flaw in xpadder which kept me from getting away with it.  I complained to the xpadder people and they said "Good idea!" and said they'd work on it.  That was more than a yea ago...

Maybe I should just get out a mouse and play them.  I can't really believe they've passed me by for so long given my love of BioShock and Deus Ex.  Hmmm... maybe I should just play Deus Ex again...

I thought it would be fun to try to think of every game you've ever played.  I imagine you'll think you have a complete list until you look at someone elses and go, "Oh yeah!"  Then you'll look at someone else's list and go, "Oh man, I can't believe that you haven't play Deus Ex!  You need to go fix that RIGHT NOW!"

So... somebody start.  Maybe Frink since his will be so short.

Assassin's Creed II is a fantastic game, I just beat Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, which is also very good, now I am on to Two Worlds II.

Ew... is that going to be a hard transition?  I haven't heard much about Two Worlds II, but I never heard anything good about Two Worlds I.

I'm going to start AC Brotherhood here very soon.  I'm very much looking forward to it.

Don't forget Wonderfalls!

Caroline Dhavernas is on the first and last episode of "The Pacific".  My wife can recognize any actor no matter how much makeup they may be under, but she really struggled with this one.  I was really surprised when Il ooked it up for her because she didn't look like Jaye to me at all.  It was only a couple years ago... what happened.

 

And it really made me miss Wonderfalls again.

LOST

I'm saying, take the Red pill.  Get into it.  Let your hopes rise to the sky even if they will ultimately be dashed on the rocks below.  It's the best way to watch it.  Heck, you might even like the ending.  Some people did.

Or continue to watch it casually.  It makes little difference to me how you watch it.  I'm just glad for my part that I watched it with such high expectations.

...I think in the end overall I'd still have to say [Lost] is a sci-fi show that is extremely worthy of watching [...] just so long as you don't expect too much out of it.

 

<snip> 

Some good points as always, [CE](3?)[PR](3?)(i?)[CSX]/i, but I have to offer my difference of opinion on the bolded above.

I think it was only worth watching because I/we expected so much out of it.  That did lead to disappointment in the end, but in the mean time I think it led also to the largest enjoyment of it.  Without high expectations, I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much.  Almost to the point of it not being worth watching.

New &quot;Superman&quot; actor announced!

Warbler said:

I sure hope he shaves and gets a hair cut before they film the movie.   He does not look like Superman right now. 

Personally, I hope he does NOT shave or get a haircut before they film.  He might not look too much like Street Person Superman right now, but wait until they start filing in 14 months!  IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME!

What I mean to say is, I'm pretty sure that he will get a shave and a haircut (2 bits!) sometime before filming, even if the result is that his hair and beard are longer during filming than they are in that picture.
