Think how long it took VHS to die when DVD came out (as far as new movies being put on them). The quality jump was significant, the packaging was lighter and smaller, and you got a plethora of extras.

Blu-ray has significantly better quality than DVD, the packaging is smaller but a bit heavier (not a factor), and you get even more extras (or all standard extras on one disc). However to get the quality benefit this time around you also need an HDTV, and let's not forget the higher price of Blu-ray and the current economy. So with that in mind probably no time soon. By the time it would be there hopefully we'll be at a point where everything is distributed digitally.

Blank DVD's are dirt cheap, Digital downloads should be cheaper than standard (no production or distribution costs). So just back it up nice and easy.

Colbert and Stewart are about a tie. It varies day to day.

I hear ya'. I don't leave for college till the 27 and I'm that last person in my class to leave for college this fall.

That's why I always keep a paperclip handy. Never no when something electronic is going to need to be reset.

...like you got beaten with a stick from the ugly tree. j/k

IDK, average I guess

I was thinking about one of my friends that I don't see very often when I had this idea...

Basically, I want to know if you'd be friends with someone who had these traits:

Randomlydisappears for months at a time (WHY??? Where the F do you go?)

Never answers his phone (Just answer it, friends definately like to get talk to you and hang out... so once more WHY???)

Won't talk to your friends(seems kinda shy) (I'm assuming you mean u won't talk to ur friend's friends... unless your 10 y.o. get over yourself and talk to them, at least talk if they start talking to u first)

Shows up at your dooragain as randomly as he disappeared. (This goes back to the phone thing again. Make plans ahead of time, many people don't want people randomly showing up at their door wanting to hang out.)

Never takes anything seriously (are you Nihilistic or just apathetic to the entire world. What if someone close to you died? would that be taken seriously?)

Doesn't really talk to you unless you speak first(or if you're doing something together like playing sports or games)

A horrid conversationalist(kinda awkward talking with him) (This can take practice. ANSWER UR PHONE, TALK TO UR FRIENDS...)

Never gives a straight answer to a question (do u find it difficult to give a straight answer, if not, do it occasionally. If you do then... well...)

Doesn't have an opinion on anything (U have to have an opinion. U have to like something over another. or dislike something)

Can't relate to anything(part of the badconversationalist thing) (As in lacking Empathy, or as in doing so little that there is nothing u have experience with)

When you do see him, you usually have a pretty good time(then he disappears again). (Given the source, I'll take this one with a grain of salt)

BTW, he's a 3 minute drive/30 minute walk away, if that changes anything... (it doesn't)

So, given all these traits, would you be friends with a guy like this?

Yes, the person I described is me. I'm an awful person...

Pop...

Those who say metal, at least say what kind of metal. There are many (quite large) subgenres. (Death, Black, Symphonic, Power, etc.)

EA has its fair share of problems, but this sounds more like a problem on your end and not a problem with their game.

I've been waiting for a price drop, but now with college starting among other things I'll have to (mostly want to) wait even longer so I'll have more gaming time... maybe next summer. Spend 4-$500 get the PS3 and all the games I want and just blast through em'
