......Randomization The game will also have a unique feature similar to Diablo's random level generation system. This new system will generate more than 500,000 different guns as well as at least 500,000 different item and armor variations, according to the preview of the game in Game Informer magazine, "We saw a ridiculous amount of guns, but perhaps the strangest was a revolver that fired shotgun shells. Gearbox is constantly surprised with what the system comes up with. They've seen rifles shoot everything from homing darts to rockets. 'One of the guns tracks onto something and locks, and after three seconds, [the target] suddenly explodes,' director Matthew Armstrong says." According to a more recent interview by 1up.com with CEO and president of Gearbox Software, Randy Pitchford, the game's astounding arsenal will feature over 600,000 weapons. An addition of 100,000 new weapons came from the inclusion of alien technology.[4] The features of the maps will also be randomly generated. While towns, and the general paths connecting them will remain the same, Borderlands features a system that randomly instances the surrounding landscape, with randomly placed things such as bunkers, towers, caves, enemies, and exploding cacti. All of this is done without a loading screen. Gearbox plans that the player will not see a loading screen after they boot up the game. Borderlands demo gameplay very interesting game....Action RPG 2 player vs....or 4 player co-op online.

my little brother wears two t-shirts, a hooded sweater unzipped, and basketball shorts outside. It was 6 degrees outside..WTF??

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) In Bruges was definitely one of my favorite movies of the year. The exchange between Fiennes and Gleeson sitting at the table in the little cafe talking about Fiennes' kids was priceless. Yuri: I also have some dim-dims. You use this word, dim-dims? The bullets that make the head explode? Harry: Dum-dums. Yeah. Yuri: Would you like some of these dim-dims? Harry: I know I shouldn't... but I will. [takes whole case of dum-dums] Dialogue is f***in hilarious basically the whole movie...

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 11:42 PM) I don't know how you guys put up with walking to class in that cold of weather. I mean, I had to walk about 15 minutes to class today in 12 degree weather (with the wind chill) and it was awful. I almost thought about stopping half way and going back home. I literally couldn't feel my face when I got inside. Do you guys cover your face or anything when it's in the negative degrees, or just suffer? I use to have a paper route where I was basically outside all morning. I feel sorry for people with outside work....garbage men, mail men, paperboys...yuck. I would hate to go through that again

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 11:14 PM) Season 4 was the s***. "Who Pooped the Bed" was brilliant. I've recently watched all of Arrested Development(bunch of people said I should catch it). I think that show and It's Always Sunny would have been great back to back on FX. Thursday nights would have been hilarious. Now were stuck with that Testees piece of s***. I hope that wasn't renewed for another season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 11:28 PM) What I found interesting was all the "racist" humor and jokes between Farrell, Fiennes and the midget (who's been in quite a few movies I've seen, a couple of very good ones, in fact). Especially the Fiennes one about bringing an Uzi to South Central to do a drive by and kill 10...but Farrell had a line I was shocked by, about a "black retarded woman on a teeter-totter" that I had to play again to make sure I heard right. Then all the banter back and forth about a race war between the world and midgets/dwarves! The irony is that many of Colin Farrell's girlfriends have been black, maybe that's why he felt more comfortable with the humor. Yes, Michael Collins was Liam Neeson, decent movie from the past. Has anyone seen JCVD (Jean Claude Van Damme)??? Looks really hilarious. What about "When the Levee Broke" about Hurricane Katrina or Taxi to the Darkside? Chlo: Okay. So, you've insulted my home town. You were doing really well, Raymond. Why don't you tell me some Belgium jokes while you're at it? Ray: Don't know any Belgium jokes, and if I did I think I'd have the good sense not to... hang on. Is Belgium with all those child abuse murders lately? I do know a Belgium joke. What's Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids. [Ray sees Chloe's shocked expression] Ray: What? Chlo: One of the girls they murdered was a friend of mine. Ray: [after a long pause, feeling bad] I'm sorry, Chloe. Chlo: One of the girls they murdered wasn't a friend of mine. I just wanted to make you feel bad. And it worked! Quite well.

He took a rental and left his Mustang for me to use.....lol I'm not using it in this weather...I'll stick to my front wheel Ford Taurus.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 10:01 PM) It's really weird when that first warm snap hits in the spring....and it's just like 70 but it feels like f***ing 85 since we're so used to the cold. and all the snow melts and it's usually rainy in March/April...so there's lots of humidity to start the season...

all i'm waiting for now is Lost and Burn Notice to start back up....then I will be set for a couple months.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 04:07 PM) I guess I'm tired of the Pitt/Clooney "cutesy/clever" movies. The Coen Brothers are sometimes too smart for their own good (although still not in league of M. Night Shymalan)...they're writing for Hollywood and other writers, not "flyover country." Frances McDormand was the heart of that movie. I almost wanted it to go back to Michael Collins, with Clooney and Swinton reminding me of a much better movie. I gave Vicky Cristina Barcelona an exta 1/4th star for Scarlett Johannsen and Penelope Cruz making out, lol. Actually, the actress Rebecca Hall (she was also in The Prestige) was my favorite...Patricia Clarkson is always good, too. I was annoyed by two things....the over narration (intrusion of the voice) and J. Bardem constantly reminding Penelope Cruz to speak in English. He must have said that about 10 times! Once was enough...maybe because I was watching an on-line version with Chinese subtitles and my Spanish is getting a bit rusty. Never been a big C. Farrell fan. Brendan Gleeson is really underrated, and I thought Ralph Fiennes totally stole the movie with his comedic lines and delivery (much more fun than the overbearing The Constant Gardener, which was actually a much better book). In Bruges was definitely a "dark" comedy, with some serious themes...but it kept my interest, and the scenery was so different. The French actress (blonde hair) was cute, too...she's a keeper, I think. The next Julie Delpy, perhaps. Farrell hit a big pot hole(into drugs/alcohol, sex tapes, disputes with paparazzi, and movies that flopped) a few years ago. He's turned it around big time, rehab, charity work with special olympics...and he's actually made a couple decent movies since.

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) -I am sitting here chuckling just at the possibility of Herb's fatass helping a hobbled Fatolo off the field. - Anyone with good seats between the bases better learn to keep an eye on their churros. - Special Announcement: Bartolo's Soxfest signing will be held at the end of of the Palmer House buffet. For an additional $5 Colon will sign your memorabilia with a barbecue rib. - Maybe Kenny was thinking he could fill both holes in the rotation by signing just Bartolo's fatass? - Whitesox.com press release: With the prospect of newly aquired Bartolo Colon seeing some action as a long reliever, renovations to widen the gate to the bullpen will begin immediately. Also, Bartolo will be forced to sit Indian style on the bullpen mound as the bench will not support both him and Jenks. - Nancy Foust is furiously working on an organ rendition of Sir Mixalot's classic: Bartolo Got Back. - When the city of Chicago asked the White Sox to "Beef Up Security" around the ballpark due to terrorist threats, this signing wasn't what they had in mind. - During contract negotiations Bartolo was able to gain a great deal of leverage against KW by threatening to forgo the '09 season to appear on "The Biggest Loser". This strategy worked because Rick Hahn was convinced Colon meant he had an offer from the Cubs. - Brooks Boyer is already planning: Bartolo Colon BobbleBelly Day! - Bartolo likes the idea of wearing all black to support the Sox fan's "Blackout", as he thinks black gives his hips a "slimming effect". Good signing or not....that is hilarious

Defiance...was okay. 2.5/5 True story, but I've read some people said that it was a false take on what really happened, and some others have said what happened was justified.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 03:46 PM) The very last scene of Burn After Reading made the movie for me. I'd give a 3/4. Same....J.K. Simmons character made the movie.

In Bruges and Burn After Reading pretty funny films

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 09:37 PM) ? It said there would be a finale to it to air on Fridays later this spring. think i saw 4 more episodes or something...should just have a 2 hour series finale.

Eckhart changes his mind in recent interview. Harvey in a coma?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) All-time favorite TV commercials could be a really fun one I think. Least favorite commercials could also be fun. that's almost tough for me.....I rarely watch commercials. I'd just say a bunch of ESPN commercials.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 12:39 PM) There's something about watching it on a big screen with the sound of a projector faintly in the background that I love. the theater i go to has a digital projection...so no sound of a reel. Kinda takes away from the classic movie going experience. There are a few other theaters around that aren't into the digital yet...so they still got it.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 09:55 PM) I watched 1408 last night. It was so bland that I can hardly remember watching it. I saw Slumdog Millionaire earlier today. It was a very good movie, but I'm not sure it deserved to win Best Picture, which it did just now on the Golden Globes. which did out of nominees? just curious what you think, I thought it would be either slumdog, revolutionary road, or benjamin button.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 07:58 PM) Is that out already? The preview looked really good. not yet...but you can watch it online, because it came out everywhere in August of 2008...except USA. I watched in August, but I recently caught a better version online.

pretty funny, and then some....I nominate this video of the year. sexy french game show Sexy French Game Show - Watch more free videos

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 06:55 PM) False, but I could seriously go for some Viet Namese. The person below me is seriously tired of Billy Mays infomercials. true...but for all infomercials. The person below me is really into the Golden Globes at the moment.

The movie Taken with Liam Neeson was a really solid spy thriller.
