Nausea is caused from sitting on your ass too long and blood clots forming in your thighs, they then break loose and travel to your lungs, heart, and brain. There can be serious complications associated from long term gaming including carpel tunnel syndrome, sleep deprivation illnesses, loss of consciousness, weight gain, tooth decay, and severe body odors.

I remember that one. The sequel is better, Super Empire Strikes Back and you can play Chewy and run around cloud city blasting stuff to pieces. Super Mario Kart is awesome as well, those were the days.

I play Medieval II: Total War quite frequently now days. The campaign mode is so long and with my procrastination habits, things are not going well for my summer semester class schedule. Too addicting! I have never tried the Rome: Total War title but I did own the original game in the series, Shogun: Total War and it was an awesome title as well. They are all well made games, if you decide you do like the Rome: Total War game than I definitely recommend picking up the newest one, Medieval II.

Poly Syndicism I sat on the platform staring blankly at the crowd. Down below me feet shuffled softly as voices quieted and the faces became defiant with their stares. I tried not to make eye contact, staring blankly at the moderator. My heart was thumping as I wondered what may be asked of me and trying not to recite what so hard I had study and thought through every second leading to this conglomerate of personification. The lights began to dim and the audience became faint as the glare intensified in my own direction. A silent count expired and the moderator began his extrication, poking, prodding, searching for my vulnerabilities. I swallowed the lump in the back of my throat and noticed the dryness around my tongue. I had lost track of the moderator's question and began to panic, my heart pounding. His question was directed to the man in the seat beside me and I relaxed and try to regain my composer and focused my attention to his response. I searched through the content to determine the subject and ignoring the specifics; there it was. I tried to look inconspicuous and returned my attention to the moderator and the crowd sitting faintly in front of me. I couldn't help but feel a twisting and tugging at my stomach and abruptly all the attention of the room would shift to me. I was tipped off by the movement of the camera as it panned softly over to my seat as the moderator transitioned his interrogation to me. Suddenly all the uneasiness rushed out of me, my head felt light, my heart beat dropped off, a certain euphoria encompassed my being. It had been my moment but I froze, I choked, the words were there, I got them out... there was applause. The moment went so quickly I could not recall the question nor my response but the applause of the audience signaled a sign of a country ready for change. No, there would not be four more years of this, but I didn't really have any answers, and neither did any of my colleagues sharing the platform with me. There we spun it, like spiders in a web of deceit, promising our constituents everything that was not in our power to offer. My inability to believe my own words and to consciously deceive my fellow man with false hopes served only to intensify my own discomfort. I acknowledged my short comings and again the time had passed, caught off guard the camera and the moderator and audience waited for my response to a question that had no merit. I knew not the subject nor cared, I ejaculated the only thought on my mind - "I have lost faith in the government of the United States, I would ask you to elect me if I thought it would make a difference, but it won't. The best option for the people of these United States in put a hold on government, let current offices expire and refuse to vote for a new candidate. We should preserve what we have before new politicians can create new laws and policies that will break and destroy all the things we hold dear. None of these men, or woman, can offer you anything new that will benefit you. Only new policies of deceit and new obstacles to your life. These are my feelings after listening to myself and all my colleagues at this debate tonight. We're all full of shit, I know, you know it, and we all buy it. Why?" I took my seat and a the room was left with silence, no applause, no boos, only truth spoken and maybe, someday acknowledged. All my frustration had cumulated at that moment and had been manifested into my one opportunity to say something so damning across national broadcasting. I felt a calm, the easing of the thump in my chest, and the lump in my throat dissipating. I dropped out of the race for the candidacy that night, I went home and played with my dog, made some BBQ on the grill, and caught the 11th inning of baseball game that was running on the west coast. I rejoiced at the value of being an American and cursed the bureaucracy that surrounded it. I had done my part, now it was time for someone else to pick up the baton and to run with it. I slept well that night. My random creative writings based upon my distaste of watching the Democrat and Republican debates hosted on CNN this week

Yeah, he absorbed it real good when he tossed the Emperor down the power shaft. Electricity + Metallic Suit + Sophisticated Medical Electronics ... I doubt the poor lad could even run subwoofers in the back seat of his Tie Fighter because of the high magnetic fields associated with such devices. He'd probably be banned by the FAA to fly domestically because he would interfere with flight control systems. If being dark lord of the sith didn't work out for him, Vader could always become a spokesperson for a wax and shine product. Shiny metal suits need lots of care and attention, just imagine the dents and scratches. This is off topic now so I'm shutting it down, but you got the idea.

Looking good Tex... don't forget the space hookers!

Bud, I dare say you've lost it. In more ways than one. Thank you vaginaplasty!

The number of times I woke up in the morning wondering how I got back home the night before. How many times did I drink a bottle of tequila, puke all over the porch, stumble up the steps, turn on the shower and pass out to wake up a couple hours later with cold water hitting me in the face and stumbling to bed. How many times have I posted long, incoherent responses to threads on this forum? All records.

+1 Stay in your official threads... you might not like reading the slander I am tossing around in this one.

Everything worked for me. The two exceptions that I saw were that the player is not able to skip the droid introduction and that tactical battle was rather sluggish. It may be able to access the proper drawing modes but they are definitely unoptimized, or it may be the crappy to non-existent nvidia mobile graphics drivers for Vista at the moment. I'm using some hacked up 165.01 drivers with custom .inf file to run my 7800 GTX GO but the control panel doesn't have any of the power and speed controls that the XP version of the mobile drivers.

I finally updated my laptop from XP Pro to Vista Business yesterday. There is an optional way to make Rebellion work on your system, simply place the d3drm.dll in the %program files%\LucasArts\Star Wars Rebellion directory instead of %systemdir%\system32 directory. Placing it in the later will fix all application dependencies that may be broken by this missing file. Placing the file only in the game directory allows only Rebellion to work, or place another copy in the home directory of any other application that requires the file. If you are paranoid about altering or manually swapping in files with the system directory, this is the preferred method.

Hot off the rumor mill - Reloaded hits closed beta stage! Paris goes to Jail! Unconfirmed source says Reloaded closed beta is crap! New pics of Nuke Dukem Morever leaked to web resulting in 1B new diggs Budious is officially bored, long lines at Reloaded forum brown out news day!

The other thing you can do if you are playing AI is stop all production for 50-100 turns and you can accumulate lots of refined resources and then surge with a large production run when your research upgrades ships. It's not a preferred tactic for multiplayer of course. Of course, the best option in your case is to minimize all non-essential production and focus on producing mine and refinery units. Also, keep in mind that if you are sending them across the galaxy, there will be lag between production finishing and the mine or refinery arriving at the planet where it goes into production. You can use the galaxy status screen to get a count of all units including mines and refineries, the tip is to keep the numbers even. My rule of thumb, small galaxy should have 100/100 mines/refineries, large galaxy 150/150, huge galaxy 200/200.

The Hillary bit could be a bit funnier if you hooded her and ripped the Senator Palpatine... "I've been disfigured by the attempt on my life..." sympathy vote... Emperor Hillary! Maybe something along the lines of "Ugly Bitches... Sith Cloaks and Pant Suits" - Hillary 08'

LOL... budious-proof The only way to budious proof your game is to clone me and put me on the otherside of me to play against myself. Despite any good AI improvements, I will never be happy. With that said, I'm just being a twit, no offense to you guys... just keeping myself entertained with a Nuke Dukem in the meantimes...

No, I'm pretty sure I could kick all three of their asses, except maybe I'd have to put the midget on a stool first.

I watched it. It was better than watching the prequels, I'll give it that. This was definitely a George Lucas hands in the basket special, all the cutscenes had dialog that explained the connections and similarities of other works and mythology and how the events of the prequels reflected upon the original trilogy. It was definitely designed to be filler material from the start for everything that was forgotten, badly acted, or just plain made irrelevant by watching them in theater.

I thought he was in the second movie on board the ghost ship with the captain that resembles Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama... If you're a fan of the old/young gay porn... I think these two qualify for "totally gay for each other" awards... Proof is in the pudding: http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/img/2/0/8/5/14555802-14555806-large.jpg More proof in the midget's left pant's pocket (notice Depp's hand playing pocket pool): http://captainjacksblog.com/wp-content/uploads/keith-richards-pirates-3.jpg For more pics like these, search the terms "Johnny Depp Keith Richards gay" under Google Images. About "Pirates 4" - "Orlando Bloom's character in the now-juggernaut Pirates of the Caribbean series will not survive through the inevitable fourth installment -- so says a Disney insider who spoke to the British paper Daily Star. According to the source, the script for the fourth film is currently being written, and Disney bean counters are already examining ways to cut its massive costs. They have concluded that although both Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley are essential to the continued success of the series, Orlando's character is human NyQuil and "not necessary" to maintain the gravy train (I could have told them that). Whether or not he will be killed in the third movie, due next summer, or be bumped off early in the fourth is not specified..." Orlando not an essential ingredient to the gravy train!

Take a look at the carrack cruiser. Whatever level it's set to is the good level because those things can't die, you can wound them but they hunt in packs and the others distract you while it licks it wounds and then it kicks your butt again five minutes latter.

You have three resources indicators on the screen. Bets are the first one is a really large number (raw resources), the second one (refined resources) is really low or zero, and the last one (maintenance pts) is at least positive. If this is the case, you have many mines and not enough refineries. If the first is low, the second is low, and the maintenance points are positive than you have a balance of mines and refineries running at full capacity. Expand numbers of each evenly. If the first two are low and the maintenance points are negative, you are exceeding capacity and should build only essential items until you can expand mines and refineries.

If you see, you read too deeply.

Bugs... in a non-existent beta, never! Stop flabbergasting us with your procrastination and hand over the final polished version already.

I'm going the vaginiplasty on tuesday to have mine sewn shut so it can get popped again in another 30 years...

Exact in quantity, read the battle sequence, some of the other ISD's are fighting starboard of Chimera and start taking heavy fire, Thrawn orders the strike cruisers to engage the rebel assault frigates. The formation is totally wrong and probably so am I.
