It's official. COD: Modern Warfare 2 is awesome. The campaign took me 6h15m on the regular difficulty. Awesome story, imo. Online is also wicked. - Shaun Nov 16, 07:27 26
- see, I don't get that. How can any game that is a measly 6 hours long be awesome? -- nm - decline Nov 16, 07:29 23
  - Not that I'm going to defend a FPS, but Galaga generally only takes 15-20 minutes to play before you die, and it's one of the greatest ever. - TFox Nov 16, 07:36 3
    - Don't forget Qix -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 16, 07:38 2
      - Qix is one of my all time favorites. Most people don't even know what it is. nm - Jim Nov 16, 07:40 1
        
        how many quarters - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 16, 07:46
  - Movies like Transformer 2, The Happening and Indiana Jones 4 last 2 hours annd are still awesome - Guigue Nov 16, 07:35 11
    - You don't pay $60 for those though. -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 07:36 10
      - I guess it depends if you plan on using the multiplayer component as well - Guigue Nov 16, 07:38 8
        
        I would pay 200 bucks for Halo3. I never play the campaigns, it is all multiplayer. -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 07:39
        
        This is correct. It's why people are still playing Halo 3. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:39 5
        
        Halo3 would suck if not for multiplayer. - groiny Nov 16, 07:40 4
        
        The storyline is great! You have prophets f something trying to activate a machine that kills everyone in the galaxy for some reason - Guigue Nov 16, 07:42
        
        Agreed on the Halo 3 campaign. The MW2 campaign was wicked, imo. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:41 2
        
        I will probably get MW at the first price drop. - groiny Nov 16, 07:42 1
        
        I rarely buy games that are over $25, so I play the games usually at least a year after they're out. COD4 (yes, 4) is one of my next game -- nm - Guigue Nov 16, 07:45
        
        It makes me wonder why they even bother putting a single player campaign on there. -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 07:39
      - I don't think I'd ever pay that for a video game, ever. -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 07:37
  - How long is the Halo 3 campaign? The online and co-op are pretty sweet (on MW2). -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 07:32 2
    - online just isn't my thing. I think I'll stick to the Borderlands type games. I'm in probably close to 20 hours on it - decline Nov 16, 07:35
    - I haver no idea, but it am guessing it took me more than 6 hours to finish it. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 07:33
  - yeah, I would probably not like that either. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 07:29 2
    - No different than the Halo 3/ODST campaigns. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:33 1
      - well, I am not a huge fan of ODST. - groiny Nov 16, 07:34
  - Quality over quantity. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:29
- PS3 or Xbox? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 07:28 1
  - I have it for PS3. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:29

I had a dream last night that Bill Belichick called a go for it play on his own 28 yard line. No way that ever happens in real life. -- nm - Redmond Nov 16, 07:16 4
- I'm guessing he didn't make it? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 16, 07:17 3
  - I'm not sure at the snap of the ball my dream changed to me with 3 Colt's Cheerleaders. -- nm - Redmond Nov 16, 07:21 2
    - only 3? - 'lia Nov 16, 07:23 1
      - He ran out of bacon fuel -- nm - Epiphany Nov 16, 07:41
Most of what I have read abut AMCs The Prisoner suggests I should just watch the original instead. What say you STers who watched it? I have it on DVR -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 16, 07:07 7
- I am going to finish watching the original first, and then watch the new one. AMC has the original up for viewing on their website. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 07:23
- I like this one a lot and recommend it. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 07:15 5
  - concur - lone canadian jays fan Nov 16, 07:17 4

I have a growing holiday addiction. Starbucks' peppermint mocha (decaf). Two in three days already. I'm sure it isn't just Starbucks and Caribou - HdnAgnda Nov 16, 05:52 6
- The children are right to laugh at you, Ralph -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 06:31 1
  - Bah. Kids think french fries are a vegetable. Let me toss this shiny nickel to my left and divert their attention. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 16, 07:08

  - Their granola bars are awesome. -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 06:47 1
    - They had little Cinnamon mints that I used to stock up on when I traveled to Charlotte. - JaxSean Nov 16, 06:56
  - Yes, Caribou has good stuff but them, above all others require me to go decaf. My brain buzzes on their stuff when I forget. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 16, 06:19

Sad news - Edward Woodward (The Equaliser) has died aged 79. -- (link) - LMS Nov 16, 04:49 4
- Usually I have no problem with different American and British spellings, but "Equaliser" looks completely wrong to me. -- nm - nubby Nov 16, 05:12 3
  - I did consider the Americanized spelling, but it looks wrong to me too. -- nm - LMS Nov 16, 05:26 2
    - *signs up to LMS's newletter* -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Nov 16, 06:31 1

Would "24 half pecan halves" mean "24 pecan quarters"? -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 01:39 5
- Pecans grow like peanuts, with two halves. What you may think of as a "whole" pecan is really a pecan half. -- nm - nubby Nov 16, 06:11
