It was actually a typo in a Starcraft multiplayer map. I think it was fixed in patches, but people still use the word.

Because almost nothing would get passed through Congress if there were more than 2 serious parties. One Senator or Representative cannot do much without the support of lots of other people, and as such, it is most efficient for people to side together. As seen through our history, the American political system naturally divides itself into two parties.

I don't see what there is to be torn about. I bought Madden 2007 for updated rosters from ESPN NFL 2K5, and I just ended up getting pissed off about how broken the gameplay is in Madden. Rosters are an illusory desire for me. They seem important at first, but without a game that plays well, who cares if you're playing as your favorite team or not?

A few years after I graduated from my high school they removed all of the ceiling tiles, because they were rotting away. But they could not afford to replace them, so now there's just the metal grids hanging from the ceiling, and each room sounds like there's an echo in it.

Interesting, but I'm confused at what the point is in grading consoles based on anything but their games.

edit: I would like to note that there is nowhere to go but up from the atrocity that was the 80s. It was all a bunch of overly sentimental pop ballads / electronic sounding music. An absolute catastrophe of style and taste.

One word.....alternative.

I see by your comment you watch MTV and only know mainstream and glam metal. Tis a shame you missed the good 80's bands....


Well let's have examples then, of bands that can make up for the **** music in the 80s.

When it comes to music, there has always been pop garbage, even back in the days of classical music. We only remember the composers/songs/bands that are good.

People were lucky for a period back in the 60s where the good music was extremely popular, but there were still bands of inferior quality selling hits.

We're in a strange period these days with many highly segmented genres of music, several of which many people consider unlistenable.

There are still great albums being made these days, but like always, you need to wade through the b.s. And on top of that you need to be open enough to try different things and not be judgemental.

The hardest achievment I have seen would have to be completely 2 Shoot the moons in a row for Hardwood Spades.OdinDragoonX
That isn't that hard. You just have to be lucky, get the right cards, and not screw up when you do. Play enough games and the opportunity is bound to come up. If you're that obsessed with getting the achievement you should try and shoot the moon on every hand.
