Holy crap!

"To qualify as a planet... has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit."

Pluto was automatically disqualified because its oblong orbit overlaps with Neptune's."


Doesn't that mean that Neptune also isn't a planet too? Technically, its orbit does also cross pluto's.

Right now most of my time is devoted to WoW, but I also play several FPSs such as CS and CoD2 (PC versions). I'd have to say that CoD2 is freaking sick online and takes me back to the CS days, but I've been having to raid a lot in WoW (60 Orc Warrior, and thus very gear dependent). I love WoW, and the rush of a ZOMGWTFBBQPWNFACE to silly Alliance twinks in the 39 bracket is insane, but I know how to take a brake and stay grounded in the real world. I play on Bleeding Hollow, and people can hit me up with a PM if they want to.

Edit: Just realized that I've been playing KH:2 and FFXI kinda recently too.

My first gun was probably a Double X-bow, and let me tell you, it was the shiz at luanching mini-arrows in crazy flight paths. Then, I probably got my BBB, followed by a perceptor and a rattler (as my "old-school" guns). However, my most nostalgistic guns would have to be the 2X-bow, Secret Shot, EaB, and Manta Ray because I would always go over to my friend's house and fight with those. And the gun that got me into the NIC and "hardcore" nerfing was probably also my 2X-bow, but it might've been my BBB.

Maverick Master, because the darts are staggered in the clip (zig-zag pattern), it is highly impractical to make a barrel for it, and even if you did, I don't see how it could help you more than not having a barrel because you'd need a large size of PVC, thus negating the benefits of a barrel.

However, you can still do a bunch of PC mods to it (rubber bands/bike tire tubing over the bladder, RF20 bladder replacement/backpack [ompa], cut the bladder down [some say it's good, others bad]) and even sand some stuff on both PC and MS clips so they can be interchangeable (Lt. Pat's discovery). Basically, anything that can be done to the PC, the MS can do it too, and sometimes better (slightly bigger bladder means better stock ranges, but if you cut/replace the bladder on both to the same size, they're basically the same gun).

Nerfer34, I'm glad you're excited about Halo 3 and your X-Box 360, dual-wielded plasma swords does seem a bit rediculous and over-the-top though. Seriously, isn't 1 enough to get the job done normally, and even then, don't you get dodged and stuck in the ribs when you try to use on online? As for recording "montages", shouldn't any hardcore Halo-er already have a capture card? Shouldn't there be a way to use/modify/alter it to work with the 360, or couldn't you wait for someone to develope one for the 360 if you can't attatch your original?

Personally, I have no clue what the future of the console wars will be in the next generation of games. In my opinion, the Wii seems to have the interesting gameplay and controls, whereas the PS3 seems to rely on its graphical capabilities (and FF fanboys) more than well-developed gameplay. Not to say that the PS3 doesn't have it's gems, it's just that it seems to be over-playing it's graphics as a crutch rather than a compliment to gameplay. However, I'v never been a fan of Xbox too much, it's ok, but not marketed very well in my opinion and seems to rely too much on one game and it's sequel(s), but this might change with the launch of other games with decent gameplay (Call of Duty 2, Gears of War, etc.) and the more user-friendly online play.

PCs, in all of this mass of confusion seem to stand their ground as steady rocks, not too popular in main-stream media, but the prefered choice for the true geeks and thinking men as gaming systems. Half-life, Mist, and all the MMOs (more of a life-less man rather than thinking on that one) attest to this.

But, this is just the ranting of someone who's not too knowledgeable on these things (don't really know my hardware and I have very little technical knowledge), but it's just my opinion, and you can have your own, after all, isn't that what America/the internet is all about?
