Its not really so much of a problem that I want to do international shipping for it, like I said 90% of my DS games don't even support/require the stylus.

I just started playing Harvest Moon on an snes emulator. I can't believe such a simple game is so much fun. Anyone agree?

I don't agree. I *know* how such a simple game can be so much fun :-P
(not this one, yet, but many others)

I saw Dark Knight and it's so far my favorite movie of the year. I wasn't a fan of Batman begins though.

I booked my tickets for the 30th in IMAX cinemas. Need to get the best experience possible after hearing the hype. :)

If I do see it in theatres I'm going to do it the way the AVGN did and not see it in IMAX. If it's so good it should do well on its own without IMAX enhancement.

Though, I'm sure the ride in IMAX would be awesome and memorable.

Saw Wall-E with Katherine yesterday and Dark Knight with some mates in the evening. Both really good films.

They've most likely been lurking here since years back. It's just that this new version of phpBB now has the ability to identify them as bots whereas before they would have been seen as guest. They're still not registered though as Google Bot or Yahoo Bot, it's just identification. :)

The Dark Knight is great. Two thumbs up - and I don't give two to a movie lightly.

As to whether or not IMAX is a big deal, depends on why you're seeing the movie. If you love the action sequences I'm sure it'll be a better experience. Personally, I'm there more for the characters and the melodrama, so I didn't care that I was "only" seeing it in a normal theater.

Last time I went to an Imax... I think the original Jurassic Park was playing... What exactly is Imax again?

A film format. It involves really large screens.

I've never been to an IMAX as the nearest one is quite a while away in Manchester, I'd have loved to see Reloaded in IMAX though!

The surround sound is apparently more impressive as well. Sometimes movies are in 3D. That's about it.

Dude, Bobby's World is on Comcast On Demand Free!!!! Anyone know Howey Mundell (I think that's how you spell it), the guy from Deal or No Deal? Well he's the creator. If you watch it you can see him with long curly hair. My world is blown

I remember thinking how weird it was when he shaved his head. Used to watch that show everyday.

Honestly, though. I missed everyone.

And I must admit, Bobby's World was an amazing show.

hmmm, i got to experience Imax in Toulouse last year.... it was a great experience, except the film we were watching was a british one, dubbed french, so we still couldn't understand it. Good times :)

Our iMax was in 3D.

Whoa, I've seen thread necromancy but this is double poster necromancy! Good to see you around Ghost Rider? Or have you been lingering for awhile now and I've just been avoiding you in the hallways again?

I've been around, but haven't had much to say lately. Been staying quiet and just checking in for updates on QFG2VGA progress. I must say I'm impressed, things are really coming along.

Between that and work, I haven't had much time to ponder what clever things I might say, so haven't been posting all that much.
