I would never read books on a laptop screen, it would kill my eyes. - ty97 Jan 30, 09:41 9
- [deleted]
- I just bought an anti glare thing off ebay that you hook over a monitor. Could be a gimmick, but -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 09:43 1

My created player in NHL09 looks an awful lot like Gretzky. Gretzky Jofa helmet, black coloured skate blade plastic, and the left jersey tuck. Nice! -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 09:34 4

    - agreed. I wanted Battlecat to stay for the whole thing. -- nm - Remlik Jan 30, 09:41

        you are asking way too much of the people who put that movie together -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 09:42 1
        
        maybe, but my personal movie-watching standards already set the bar pretty low -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 09:47
