  1. I am having Frank's kid... the nights were cold in Alamain
  2. Hey Cril, You should check out Enemy at the Gates it's a pretty good read. The movie is very very loosely based on the book.
  3. Hey, Does anyone know any good sites to get serial numbers for programs? I have been trying to find a serial for Microsoft Publisher 2007 for awhile now and have had no luck whatsoever.
  4. FNF for me for me was always about the people in it, not the game that we played. This site is the first page I check everytime I open my browser and even though my posts are few and far between I still read everything thats posted. I'm not much for words, but FNF has had a huge impact on my life and i'm pretty sure I wouldn't be where I was today if it wasn't for FNF. If it weren't for Terry I wouldn't have moved to Nanaimo and got my life together. You guys have and always will be some of the best people that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and I think it would be awesome to have another meet next year. I've had some great times with FNF, both in game and out. I've had rocks shoot bees at me, I had a blast at paintball with everyone, the scrims and matches that we played in were awesome, even if we could never quite bring it together.
  5. PS3: Ph1losoraptor Xbox360: Philosoraptor
  6. I've tried the demo and the game looks very nice. The only thing that I didn't really like about the game was the cover system. Cover and First Person Perspective don't seem to go very well together. Other then that the game seems like it will be good, i've already got it pre-ordered so i'll be picking it up on day 1.
  7. If you like that one Colo, go here and watch all his other videos. Jon Lajoie is pretty much my comedy hero. Jon Lajoie

  9. I'd say the equipment is about the same, and even the GH drums are having issues.
  10. The drums for Rock Band 2 have some big issues with them that i've heard of. For starters the red drum doesn't work sometimes when you hit it and if you hit the blue drum in the wrong spot it will make the yellow drum play. As far as the two games, its really hard to say if one is better then the other. For the most part they have a different set list, I believe there is only 13 songs in total that the two share. Myself, I like Rock Band not only for the set list but because they offer much more in the way of downloadable content. Every week you get new tracks to play, plus if you just rent the original rock band you can import all but 4 of the songs from Rock Band to Rock Band 2, essentially doubling your playlist options. As far as Guitar Hero World Tour goes, it has way more character customization, although that doesn't really affect the overall gameplay experience. In terms of difficulty, Guitar Hero has always been harder then Rock Band, at least when it comes to the guitar. Essentially with these two games though it just comes down to which playlist you prefer.
  11. You know this is just a plot by blizzard to get you hooked on the game again right? http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png
  12. thanks guys, i'm an old timer now. Senior's discount here I come!
  13. I'm primarily a console gamer, I can't say there have been many PC games that have really held my interest for very long, aside from CS.
  14. So I was thinking the other day that it would be interesting to see what everyone's top 10 favorite games of all time are. We all have our own lists i'm sure, and i'm sure that they all vary in many ways. Some will have games that some of us have never played, some will have games that other's have played and thought that they were not good at all. So, dig down deep and think of all the different games that you've played throughout your life and tell us which 10 have really had the biggest impact on you. The games can be from any era, all systems including PC and any genre. The only "rule" to it though is 1 game per series. It wouldn't be much of a top 10 list if you had 10 final fantasy games on there. So to start things off here are my Top 10 favorite games of all time and the reason why I put them on there. 10. Halo 3 System: Xbox 360 To start the list off I went with Halo 3. I'm sure there are people that would say that Halo: Combat Evolved is the best out of the series, but for me I easily enjoyed Halo 3 over the others in the series. what really made this game for me was that it ended perfectly. There really was no other way to end it. Add in the addictive online multiplayer, the online 4 player co-op, the forge and the theater mode and this game easily surpasses the previous 2 in the series. 9. Advent Rising System: Xbox and PC The main thing that I really enjoyed about Advent Rising wasn't its gameplay, in fact the game itself suffered from a few bugs and glitches that unfortuanetly caused it to not rate very well. These glitches and bugs were not very common and possibly were fixed on the PC version, but I played the original Xbox version of it. The thing that made Advent Rising for me was the dynamic and entertaining storyline. The script was written by Orson Scott Card and stands out to me as one of the best video game stories that I have ever played. The game was slated to be a trilogy, but unfortuanetly because of the bad ratings and the developers shifting their focus to handheld games, its likely we will never get to see this trilogy finished which is a true shame. 8. Resident Evil 4 System: Gamecube, PS2, Wii Resident Evil 4 basically rejuvinated the Resident Evil franchise with its stellar gameplay and much improved control scheme. Resident Evil 4 provided a refreshing change to the series which was on a steady decline due to numerous bad games in the series being released. The reason this game stands out for me and is on the list is because it was just such an amazing game to play. It's really no wonder this game won so many game of the year awards. 7. Secret of Mana System: SNES This game definetly brings back some great memories. I have played through this game numerous times and each time was just as fun as the last. Allowing up to 3 players to play simultaneously, something rarely seen in rpgs back then is what really made this game so much fun. That, along with a great story and excellent gameplay made this a game that I will always remember. Its too bad that the majority of Mana games since have been so disappointing. 6. Mass Effect System: Xbox 360 and PC This has to be the best RPG I have played in awhile and I still find myself picking it up and playing it every now and then. What made this game so great was not just its fantastic story, its excellent mix of rpg and fps styles of gameplay, but also I would have to say that in my opinion it is the best looking Xbox 360 game out there. For anyone who hasn't played it I would definetely recommend this one. 5. Gears of War System: Xbox 360 and PC What makes Gears of War such a great game to play for me is the co-op. I have yet to actually play this game through from start to finish in the single player campaign as it would just pale in comparison to the co-op experience. with a good mix of challenging gameplay and a decent storyline this game is just a blast to play with a friend. I've recently just started playing through it again with a friend and I'm enjoying it just as much now, if not more then I did before. 4. Final Fantasy 6 (3 in North America) System: SNES I think its only fitting that Final Fantasy makes an appearance on any top 10 list, but for some it can be a tough decision to choose just which one but for me it was a no brainer. For me, Final Fantasy 6 was the last of the great Final Fantasy games. I know I'm probably going to get some flack for that comment, as alot of people tend to lean towards 7 as being the greatest Final fantasy. In my defense though, the story, characters and overall tone of the game just make it such a great game to play. With a wide variety of character's to choose from, each with their own unique backgrounds and combat techniques this game offer's alot of variety which is great. Also, Sephiroth ain't got nothin on Kefka. 3. Bioshock System: Xbox 360 and PC Bioshock is probably one of the best fps games that I have ever played and that is mainly due to its amazing story. Few games have kept me so enthralled with the story that I really had a hard time putting it down. Mix this in with some customizable weapons and abilities and its a recipe for awesomeness. Never again will I be able to hear "would you kindly" without shuddering. 2. Metal Gear Solid 4 System: PS3 Without a doubt the best game that I have played so far this year. You can tell that it is a labor of love for Hideo Kojima who really seems to have put everything he had into making this game. From the amazing storyline to the epic battles and cutscenes there is really nothing negative that I can say about this game, except maybe that it has probably more hours spent in cutscenes then it does in actual gameplay! 1. Kingdom Hearts System: PS2 If you're anything like me, when you heard that Squaresoft was teaming up with Disney to make a video game you probably though "wow, that's gonna suck". When I first played this game I couldn't get into it at all, there was just something about running around beating up bad guys with Donald Duck and Goofy as your sidekicks that just wasn't doing anything for me. A few months later I decided to give it a 2nd try, and something just clicked and I was hooked. This game has a deep and dramatic storyline which honestly at times had me on the verge of tears. The game is a great mix of rpg and action elements and has some of the most beautiful visuals on the PS2 for its time. Everything was bright and colorful, the music, which mainly comprised of versions of famous Disney music depending on what world you were on was also very well done. It was a tough choice for me to choose between the original and the sequel, but I decided to go with the original as it was the game that got me hooked, but the game only got better in the sequel. For anyone who hasn't played it and owns a PS2 or even a backwards compatible PS3 you owe it to yourself to give these games a try. Don't let the Disney character's fool you into thinking its just a game for kids, you will shortly find yourself mistaken.
