People who can't even CDR right
How bothersome is it when someone misses two turns to CDR and everyone has been waiting for the cycles, then they visit the game again but do nothing so you have to wait two more days for them to CDR again. It can really put a parking brake on a game.

Giants vs. Cowboys
The NFL Season Opener was last night; Giants vs. Cowboys. I myself am a big Giants fan and personally thought they should have won the game. The Cowboys committed over 12 penalties and even though it affected their yardage it was a main factor to why they won the game. Based on last nights performance I think that some of the penalty rules in the NFL need to be changed to stop things like this from happening again. What do you think? Leave your answer as a comment.

Interested in a 10 Minute Live Game?
Anyone want to play a 10 minute live game tonight? I enjoy live but 5 minute phases are a little too fast for negotiation. 10 minutes would take longer but it would be the happy medium for a serious game. Any takers?

Hi,
I'm setting up a Full-Press Classic WTA. This game requires a Ghost Rating (not Ranking! see GR list) of >150. The game will be anonymous, although a list of participants will be presented here, entry costs 354 kudos, and in the end, I win. There are 3 special rules :-)

Any opinions on what this will mean? A referendum is unlikely of course, but any predictions on what new restrictions on English will succeed, which of the PQ's fun social experiments will be unleashed on the province?

Movie Night with Gunfighter
I had the day off yesterday, and instead of doing anything productive I got sucked into about 8 hours of AMC. Yesterday I saw The Sum of All Fears (2002), Goodfellas (1990), and Crimson Tide (1995). My reaction to each below.
Gunfighter06 (224 D)
06 Sep 12 UTC
The Sum of All Fears -- For a Clancy book-film adaption, it was not terrible. I have read the book, and the book was incredible. My only real complaint (aside from the obvious inconsistencies between the novel and the film, as well as the standard late 90's-early 00's action movie cliches) was Ben Affleck. He's usually a terrible actor, but he was particularly awful in this film. I'm no thespian and I could have done a much better job as Jack Ryan.

Goodfellas -- Great movie all around. I'm glad that it is rightfully where it belongs in the AFI Top 100 of all time. I think that American Gangster (2007) and Scarface (1983) are still my top two crime movies (Note: I have not seen The Godfather) but Goodfellas is a close third. Outstanding performances by Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, and Al Pacino respectively push American Gangster and Scarface past Goodfellas, but Goodfellas is still a superb mob movie that did not disappoint.

Crimson Tide -- Great military thriller/sub movie. Realistic premise, highly unrealistic conflict and plot, but still plenty of action to satisfy me. I think that The Hunt for Red October (1990 film, I have read the book) and U-571 (2000) are still my top two sub movies, but Crimson Tide is a close number three, once again carried by the outstanding set and a great performance by Denzel Washington.
Tolstoy (1962 D)
06 Sep 12 UTC
You put U-571 and Hunt for Red October above Crimson Tide? Seriously?

And you haven't seen The Godfather? What kind of film critic are you?
Gunfighter06 (224 D)
06 Sep 12 UTC
@ Tolstoy

Yes I did. Crimson Tide, despite having a great amount of action and suspense, still has an unrealistic plot. There would *never* be a mutiny on an American warship. Every naval officer interviewed said that the conflict between the XO and the Captain is completely unrealistic. Granted, U-571 is not much more realistic, but it and Red October are at least plausible. And Red October has Sean Connery. Checkmate.

And I have not seen The Godfather. But I will tell you as soon as I do. And I am not claiming to be a critic, amateur or otherwise. Merely an interested moviegoer with keen observations that I enjoy sharing with others on an internet forum.
Red October was a good film and a great book. Probably the best "Jack Ryan" story too, though "Patriot Games" (book and film) comes close. (I know it's a cold war story and is now out of date but I hope you've read Clancy's "Red Storm Rising", it's his best story.)

If you haven't seen The Godfather yet you've missed a real treat.
Gunfighter06 (224 D)
06 Sep 12 UTC
Yeah, I have read Red Storm Rising. It's tied with Rainbow Six as my favorite Tom Clancy book.

And I will tell *everyone* when I finally see The Godfather. I need to carve out some time to buy or rent it (sadly, I do not have Netflix). I won't insult such a good film by watching the TV version.

Red October: 1/4. "Look Mum, I'm riding a submarine."
Patriot Games: 2/4. The Irish threat? Come on.
Clear And Present Danger: 3/4. Finally some fine action scenes.
Zmaj (215 D(B))
06 Sep 12 UTC
I'm talking about the films, of course. I haven't read anything by Clancy, so my judgment is not tainted by comparisons.
Gunfighter06 (224 D)
06 Sep 12 UTC
@ Zmaj

I would definitely recommend the books. But don't expect them to be literary masterpieces. They are all balls-to-the-wall action thrillers.

A Story About Nietzsche...
A student was writing an essay about Friedrich Neitzche and his essay was about 10 pages. He wrote all through the night in order to complete his essay on time for the next day. In his haste, he did no editing. Instead, he relied on his program to do so. Auto correct.

DNC blatantly ignores vote of delegates
I wouldn't normally bring this up, since I think that putting much importance on the secondary goings-on at a convention is irrelevant to anything real.
