I think he was looking more for very kid-centric shows that we grew up watching (we're about a year and a half apart, so we watched all the same stuff). We did watch that a lot with our father, so I bet it could work. I think he's hoping more for some of those mid-to-late 80s cartoons. One I think would be perfect if it's on dvd would be Pee Wee's Playhouse (I'll count it in the cartoon category).

Nuketown seemed pretty small the one time I played it. Either that or the spawns were absolutely horrible. Everybody kept spawning together in the same spot so the kill count was through the roof. The spy planes seem pretty damn useful too. Before I unlocked ghost, it seemed like if there was one up in the air, people were always waiting for me the second I rounded any corner. My only complaint about those spy planes though is that I'm currently trying to shoot them down but it takes me far too long to spot it in the sky. I'm so reluctant to spend the money on anything right now. I've only been willing to take the chance on one of the low paying contracts, but only because it was ridiculously simple. I haven't had that problem yet. I've been having some crappy connection issues though. A couple times last night my knife went right through someone's chest, then he circled around and shot me. I sneaked my way up into a sniper tower behind a guy yesterday, then shot him in the head with my shotgun from about a foot away. Yes somehow it didn't connect and he managed to turn around and shoot me. Must be another connection issue. But yeah, I had other times where I landed two short range shotgun blasts that didn't manage to kill the guy. I'm awful with the snipers, so this doesn't bug me one bit. I did try one briefly yesterday but only managed to land one single bullet. This one was kind of annoying actually. I somehow managed to pull off an awesome shot and hit a guy out of midair as he was jumping off a balcony. Unfortunately it didn't kill him and I got an assisted suicide instead. My big hope for the next time I turn it on is that I can find some better connections. I've read some stuff saying you can switch to a mode where it will search for local matches. Hopefully that takes care of things because I got disconnected way too many times yesterday.

So, Conan O'Brien Resumes Killing Comedy Tonight

The real people who got screwed over were the ones on his staff who had just uprooted their lives and moved across the company. I know he gave some of the money to them, but that's still no easy task for most of them. -
He's way too young at this point, 4 months right now. I think my brother just wants to build up some sort of collection for a few years down the road.

Girl solves Wheel of Fortune only 1 letter guessed!
shrader replied to boyst's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I stopped watching pretty quickly after she solved it. The rest really didn't seem to matter. -
I like it so far. I have no idea what to unlock though.

I was awful at that game, so I doubt it. I enjoyed the team based stuff though, so I'll keep coming back for more deaths.

Girl solves Wheel of Fortune only 1 letter guessed!
shrader replied to boyst's topic in Off the Wall Archives
No, I get why she didn't spin a second time. I must not have explained it clearly. If she's so sure about the solution, while picking the letter on her first and only spin, why didn't she pick a letter that would get her a little more money? If she had picked "T" instead, she walks away with the trip and $2700, instead of just $900. I'll stick with the thought that taking "L" proves to her that the first word isn't "I'll" and that her guess is safe. -
Jon Miler and Joe Morgan off Sunday Night Baseball
shrader replied to bbb's topic in Off the Wall Archives
But that's what baseball is all about. There's way too much time to not have filler like that. I say give him an equally ancient color guy and have them ramble on and on about baseball in the 20s. It would remind me of the lineup of ringers Mr. Burns originally put together in the softball episode of the Simpsons. edit: And speaking of the Simpsons and impersonations of Scully, Hank Azaria's is awesome. -
Girl solves Wheel of Fortune only 1 letter guessed!
shrader replied to boyst's topic in Off the Wall Archives
No, I mean when picking that first letter, go with something like "T" instead. That was in there 3 times, so she gets more money and then can immediately solve the puzzle. I'm guess that the "L" was just guess to cover her in case she was wrong. That first word was obviously either "I've" or "I'll". -

shrader replied to boyst's topic in Off the Wall Archives
So if she had such a great feeling about it, why didn't she pick one of the letters that appeared more than once so she could get more money? -
I'm pretty sure it was mentioned earlier in the thread, but either way, anytime this question comes up people always talk about how great the Xbox controller is. I've never even touched an Xbox, so I've always wondered what is so great about those controllers? I've never had any problems with the playstation controller, but then again, I've been playing that system since its birth.

So, Conan O'Brien Resumes Killing Comedy Tonight
shrader replied to The Dean's topic in Off the Wall Archives
He was the worst actor on the face of the earth and that somehow made him perfect. I really miss him and Kevin Nealon. I really enjoyed Nealon's subliminal man act. -

And they need to find a way to keep Scully alive forever because that voice should never go away. -
My brother's been telling me that I should look for some DVD's for christmas that he can watch with his son over the next few years. Dinosaurs might be a good one. Thanks for reminding me about that show.

shrader replied to The Dean's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Soundgarden is on tonight and that alone will make me tune in. Hell, I'd probably even watch Leno if they showed up (but only the end of it). -
I feel like I've come across that name before at some point... or did you use it here as a username? Anyway, I pre-ordered mine from best buy last week. I might have to wait until wednesday to pick it up though. At least that way it'll be one day longer until I have no life at all. shrader5 on PS3. I might actually look to add any PS3 people from here. A few Buffalo people in the game would be a good thing.

I liked it when it came out, but I was only 15. Looking back on it, Will Smith is just about the only good thing about that movie. That seemed to be the moment where his career went to the next level. Skyline may wind up having very little in common with that movie, but it definitely gives off that vibe in its previews.
-
Me too. People can't say enough about the way he handled that whole situation.
-
The only thing I can think of is their lack of big names over the years. There's the obvious in Brett Hull, but after that, Bernie Federko really doesn't bring that much to the table.
-
So if you're a fan of those movies, would you even want to see this one now or would you rather wait until you can see the whole thing back to back? I get the feeling that they'll re-release it to theaters once the 2nd part comes out and it will actually sell better then. So all the previews for that Skyline movie have really been bugging me. Did someone really have to go rip off a weak movie like Independence Day?

The Pirates have sucked for 20 some years now and the Penguins had at least one string of awful post-Lemieux seasons during that span. This whole subject is nothing more than the woe is me crap that has been big in Buffalo for a while now.

I've seen those Bradley references online, but since I have no clue who the kid is, I kind of hope it is someone else. The only two regularly used kids that aren't already one of the superheroes are Craig and Tweak (where has he been over the last few years?). I'd rather it be one of those two, but I doubt it. Then again, I'm pretty sure they changed up Kyle's identity on the fly because last week I was 100% sure he was the Mosquito.

No outrage over Merrimans past arrest?
shrader replied to CodeMonkey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hadn't the statute of limitations expired by the time the first accusation was made? If that was the case, the lack of charges means absolutely nothing there.
