Helwett-Packard. I've had the PC i'm on right now for 4 years and it's an HP and it's never had any problems...good stuff, also I think HP comes with a lil better programs than a Dell.

I see it 2 ways, It can be good, and it can be bad.If it's good, meaning that EA isn't lazy due to lack of competition then we'll be seeing the best from EA and be expierencing tremendous NFL games.If it's bad, meaning that EA is lazy, then unfortunatley we'll have to deal with horribly put together games that just put the mark of shame on football games.The liscense lasts for like 7 years...

I think this game looks interesting, despite what other people may think being that it's a sim style game. I myself find me simming more in Madden 06 then actualley playing it so I'm defintly checking this game out.For those who don't know about it it's a sim-style game like I said, where instead of controlling the players on the field you control what goes on and what and how players perform. Just take Coach Mode in Madden and give it depth. This game is really deep so they say, and not only that it also has the long-awaited ESPN implemation in it, so that should be interesting as well. I seen a screenshot earlier where it had NFL Live on it, and a very good model of Trey Wingo. So post your thoughts and let's get a discussion started.

Wow, I love the Empire of Accerita sig, that's very good...Was that one pic or two because it looks like a professional movie poster or something lol...As for the other 2 I like them both, but could use some work I guess, but that Empire of Accerita is by far one of the best I've ever seen.

I currently have Itunes WMP and Real Player installed on my PC. Out of all of them I would have to say Itunes is the best, It does everything good, and it's very organzied. It also burns CDs really good, I've never had a problem there, the only thing I wish it had was a libary more like WMP is...That would be cool...What do you guys think?

How many of you guys have played Jade Empire...?I think that this is a wonderful game, the cinematics are beautiful as well as the graphics. I also love the free roam type of gameplay and all the extras such as learning new fighting styles...This game is so fun, I spent like 3 full dedicated days on it, and it's defintly one of the best games for Xbox...Man, I just can't explain how fun this game was...It kind of reminded me of Fable, because you could be good or bad, and it effects the story and what kind of new techniques you can learn. The story is extremely good as well. I hope they make a sequel for the Xbox 360 too, that would be awesome...I love this game, I recommend if you havn't played to play it...Anyone else have any thoughts on Jade Empire?

Yeah, I think it's just scams, I don't want to waste my time doing that, in plus thier site is probably filled with all kinds of ad and spyware, maybe even viruses.

Why in the worl dis he getting Life in prison?My personal opinion is that anyone involved in 9/11 should be convicted to a death penalty, that's just ridiculous that the U.S. is letting someone who helped cause possibly the biggest catastrophe ever live in prison...I say they should give him the death penalty and call it over...

No, not on Xbox Live either. I'm talking about people using modded Xbox's and modding Halo 2 for fun play. I think it brings alot to the table and keeps Halo 2 fun and the points where it get boring. Modding the weapons and characters can take it a long way in that matter, that's why I love to do it.For instance, me and my friend made a mod for Coagulation where the models jump extra high, like so high that you go to the top of the level when you jump, and we set the weapons to extra powerful Shotguns, and we'd run around and jump toward each other to try to shoot each other in the air, which kept us busy for sometime.So people who have modded or mod what kind of games have you played?

Now that you say something about it, I think so too...Maybe a should've went with a dark grey with light grey tech...*ponders*

My first brushed sig, made a long time ago, once again, made in GFX Design so crappy font...

Tell me what you guys think, I didn't cut this render out however, one of my good friends did as a favor, he did a great job...It's brushed as you can tell, made in my GFX Design class, so the font is ugly, but it's the best they had...

Is your visitors having these problems too? Also, do you have the latest version of IE? If it's your coding then it probably would'nt work in Firefox either...Also, are you completly sure you've optimized it for both...?I can't think of a reason why it would be doing that, you might also not have the latest version of Macromedia on the IE explorer...Get in touch with somebody and tell them to see if it works in IE, or PM me your URL...

yeah, it's too bad they can't, EA has exclusive right to NFL and NCAA rights...

I've been told that I'm so cheap that when I walk I squeak...It makes me mad, because I love to spend money, but I stay on a tight budget, I never like to give out money, so when I'm out to eat I'm not a very good tipper, lol...When it comes to something I want or need I save up past how much it costs, so like if I went to buy something that's $200 dollars, I'd make sure I'd have like $500, that way I can make up for how much an item cost + $100 dollars extra. I defintley don't overload on groceries, the most "I'LL" ever spend there is like $70. I guess that's why my girlfriend does all that.

Do any of you guys believe in doing this? I for one don't, I think people who make great programs should get thier money...I think it just sets a bad example for the users who crack and get serial keys for programs like Norton and Photoshop because that just goes to show the character people have, Also you gotta think, If your willing to steal on the Internet then you'd be willing to steal from your friends and family...Just my take on things...

Ok, I'm going to start off by asking a question to OpaQue and the mods here at Trap 17. Before you read this this isn't trying to down this site or trying to tell you guys how to run this. I'm just wondering, however, why the Entertainment forums and sub-forums, and also the Life-Talk forums and sub-forums isn't included in gaining credits, unless I'm mistaken, but if there's no post count then that would mean you don't get credits right? I think that would help the site, because more posts will probably be made, because this gives users deeper things to talk about, please correct me if I am wrong, just a questions though...My second question is about Fantastico...Using this, so I've heard gives you the ability to install forums and an image gallery, which also means that they are free? I need both of these features for my site, and I wanted to know before I apply so I can search for these things if in fact that it does not...Help is greatly apperciated...Thanks guys for any feedback...

I know exactly what you mean WDSnav, It's hard making friends, harder then some people think. For instance, I just transferred schools like a year ago, and when I first got there I was lonely for a long time. I was just like you actualley, would be the last person picked in P.E. activities and such. In my opinion, one of two things will happen, someone will talk to you and they will become a real friend or a friend, or two you'll will finally start talking. It's a lot easier with option #2. Just listen to other people and what they are saying and when they say something interesting to you just start talking, after that they will either talk to you everyday or just not say anything else to you, but it could go either way.Also, don't be discouraged or afraid by people picking on you, OpaQue said ignore them, which is a good thing to do, but it won't always be so easy. It's kind hard growing up in pretty much what they call "the ghetto" especially as a white kid (no racial offense, but it's true) so I had to fend for myself and deal with them in the wrong way. The one thing that is bad to do is tell on them because it will lead to worse things, it could be prevented at school but not on the streets. Ignore them until they are unignorable, and just mind your own and you should be alright with that, eventually they'll get tired of picking on you and move on to the next "loser kid." Hopefully.As with the girls, it's alot more complicated than making friends, but making friends is where it starts. Some girls may act as if they don't like you, but 75% of them really do when for instance they walk by you in the hall and say "Eww" or something and walk off laughing. Just talk to them just like thier a friend, and it'll all come out the woodworks, the best thing is to not be shy, but if you can't help it, just try to stay confident.All in all, just hang in there, it'll all work out for you. I've always been told that the people who aren't the most popular stay out of trouble, and live a more comfortable life.

Yeah what the guy who posted before said is completly true. Just because your shy doesn't mean you can't talk, I personally think it's better to start out shy in the dating scene then to just come out and asking whoever out. If your just looking for a girlfriend then you ought not have too many problems since your not trying to get serious. The best thing to do in my opinion, and what I did was listen, find someone your interested in, or just sit around people. When they start talking about things that your interested in just jump in and say whatever, which is the basic way to make friends, and as you make friends girls come along with it, that hang around the type of people you hang around then you'll start talking to them without really even knowing it. Eventually you'll find the confidence to ask someone out, or someone will ask you out...Really it's all about meeting people, that's about the best way I can explain how I went through it, it's pretty much waiting for the oppurtunities, eventually it'll come about and you could very well be sitting in a long term realtionship. I've been with my girlfriend nearly 10 months and I never even really talked to her because I was scared, but eventually I just started chiming in on conversation and then we clicked and wha-lah...With however you do it just don't forget the worst that can happen is you get a "no"

I would love to see games reach a new level of interactivness. For instance you know how in RPGs, like Jade Empire, when they ask you a question and you just pick an answer? I would love to see someone create something where instead of picking your answer you talk into the mic, saying anything and they can understand what you are saying a react to it, sorta like in Hey You Pikachu, except far more advanced. Also I would love to see a game, almost like Fable like but diffrent, keep up with every thing you do and say and give you a good spirit or a bad spirit. Also, I think what Obilvion does is extroadnairy, but I believe developers could take it further...Also in these games they should be near infinite, sorta like a mix between The Sims and a RPG would a great storyline, and if not infinite you should have plenty to do, I also think it would be great if the game didn't have set quests/missions, but rather have quests/missions based on what people think of you mixed with whatever you feel like doing, like in real life. That's just my ideas, tell me what you think.

Well, there's not much more you can wish for in Halo...lol...But there are some things that can be fixed. Bungie does a decent job with online cheaters, such as modders, bridgers, and standbyers, but I believe that they can do a better job by preventing those things. The only thing they can't fix is modders, which get banned from matchmaking, but thats kind of dumb when they already had 8 hours to boost thier friends up. One thing they can do is not make maps, .map files.Also I would love to see a better rating system, I'm not too fond of the one they have now.Other than that, I would like to see them carry the story better, and if this indeed the last Halo game they need to not keep the ending suspensful. I would also like to see some kind of new gun that just owns.

For anyone who is a Madden fan, you have to know that Madden NFL has been slacking off recently...Between the online play on both Xbox and PS2, and maybe even Xbox 360 and then the poor presentation you gotta ask yourself: Is EA going to ever elevate Madden back to, uh, Madden? Well, nobody knows this for sure, but the improvements the NCAA team is making for the highly popular NCAA Football franchise, such as adding 7 additional rating into the players ratings, and even as far as adding the exact sun coordinates for each field, to give the game real lighting effects as reported by IGN, you just gotta ask yourself, is Madden going to follow this up? I for one hope so...But still even if that is added to the Madden franchise, it still needs major improvements...With ESPN being implemented into the EA Sports titles there are no limitations to hold Madden back from creating exilirating presentation, you can look at ESPN NFL 2k5 and tell that. But the main improvements that Madden needs are gameplay wise, Madden can be so boring sometimes because the CPU A.I. plays so poorly in games. The ratings that go up and down in your Franchise is unfair, you can play 5 perfect games and only get minor adjusments but play 2 bad games and get the same adjustments, except going down wise. My biggest beef with Madden however is the online play. EA Sports has failed to relize over the last 3 years how easy it is to cheat online. There are broken plays and glitches that drive a fair player crazy. One that really annoys me is the deep ball, which in most terms is unstopable, and playing someone who does nothing but throw it deep is pretty much impossible to beat. If Madden can finally fix all the issues in this years Madden then I, for one, will be happy and be glad to be a Madden gamer again...

I have the most basic mod. I have a soft modded xbox, no hard drives or anything. I have Media Center on there and that's about it for right now. It not really that good, Media Center is what makes it, but it's awesome if you into Piracy lol. I like to download demos and check them out, but I've never had the time to see how a full game runs, but I do borrow some of my friends pirated games from time to time. My friend has a 150 gig hard drive with all kind of pirates on it, I'm scared to do that though.As for modding messing your box up...No it makes it like 1,000,000 times better, considering that you can stream media from offline onto your Xbox, and with a good HD you can have a Music Album that reaches into millions of songs. I think it's great though, especially for Xboxs because of all the accessiories you need for it, which is pretty dumb.

I love Mitsubishi Eclipses and Mustangs.My favorite Eclipse is the 1998 model, it's so sleek and nice and pretty lol, the body style is just so nice.My favorite model of Mustang would have to be the 1993 model. They are just awesome, my dad owns one and there isn't one thing I don't like about it.

Well, for the most part school in America is just something you go thrugh. It bears no importance on a teenagers life, that is why America is abunch of B-C students. Very few care about getting it done ASAP because they have mor eimportant things to do, like be with girlfriends/boyfriends and hang out with thier friends. Not only that, history is bogus anyways, thats not going to get many people anywhere in life. I can see it on a application right now...What are the first words of the Declaration of Independence? How many people would not get a job over that? 90%. The only important educational thing in school are Career related, Math, English and Government, ECO. and all that good stuff. If schools would cut out all the unesscary crap through all 12 of those years, people wouldn't be dropping out and being nothing, and more people would be getting thier diploma. It's not really that students don't care, it's the mere fact that they have to have paticular classes to get out that are meaningless and put way too much stress on the student to focus, while having a life and a childhood.
