To pick them up so that they are standing with their back to you: 1) When they are on the mat, press O (2x). 2) This will bring them to a sitting posistion and you'll be behind them. 3) From that posistion, press O (2x) again. 4) This will not bring them to a standing posistion, and you'll be behind them once more.

keelebasa, you lose at message boards. Here is a poem for you. Your poem is a clump of trash. You hippie. Go away. Now.

Not here. That's a new one to me, heh.

Well my God, I finally got to a part of the game that ALMOST made me it's bitch. The Driving School. No I didn't have trouble with all of it, it was almost all too easy. I didn't have a problem with any of the tests except for the last one. One of the most frustrating missions in the GTA games for me have been the "don't damage your vehicle" ones, blah. I tried over and over, and maybe on my tenth try I finally passed it, with a pretty good score also. The first few times I tried to pass it I misread it and thought it said I had to do it in under 1:20, instead of 120 seconds. Once I finally saw that it said 120 seconds, two minutes, I slowed down a bit. I finally got to the point where I realized that I could slow down quite a bit and still do the test with time to spare. Once I realized that it was pretty simple. But oh by before I knew that, argh!

Only $30? If it gets pretty good reviews I'll pick it up for sure now.

The playing of the Perfect Strangers theme keeps me from saying anything bad about the episode, it had me in stitches. I also laughed at a few random things, like Dr. Hibbert laughing right before he hit the ground.

The internet has helped me with TV actually. It introcuded me to Spaced, Scrubs, Arrested Development, and others. Also, last year, I downloaded all of the Simpsons episodes that I never bothered to watch when they originally aired (the past few years). Thanks for that link Dames. I just went to look at it and they already have tonight's Simpsons episode available for download. How in the world did they get that up so fast? I download random things all the time. SNL episodes, shows from the UK, etc... I'd almost say that the internet has become my TV in many ways.

But of course.

I'm watching tonight's episode, and when that theme song just started playing I busted out laughing. I don't even really know why.

Ugh, there is one thing that I hate about the GTA games. THEY ALWAYS FREEZE ON ME!!! GTA III did it, Vice City did it, and now SA is doing it to me also. This time it froze right after I completed 555 We Tip. Nothing is more frustrating than completing a mission, then having the game freeze on you making you restart the system and re-do everything you did up to that point all over again. Right before I did 555 We Tip, I did manage do complete Air Raid on my second try (the first try was at night, and I couldn't see any of the planes hardly) and then save it before going to 555. I loved that mission by the way, very cool.

Well I just beat Farewell, My Love. Once again, another easy mission. Is it just me or is SA much easier than the previous two installments? Up to this mission that I just beat at least. In the last two games I would end up getting to a mission and be stuck for quite a while. That hasn't happened once in this game yet.

When I watched the film I totally checked my brain at the door, and did not even notice the details of the family's powers that were mentioned on a recent E! special on The Incredibles. The Father: Traditionally the symbol of Strength so naturally he has superhuman strength. The Mother: Ever hear of mothers feel like they're being "pulled in several different directions"? The Little Son: Ever seen a hyper kid? The Goth/Loner Daughter: "Invisibility" and "Force Field Protection" are two real life defense mechanisms that real kids use at that age. Superpowers that reflects social realities. Better and more inventive than giving superpowers to a character just because it sounds cool.

Well, I am now on Farewell My Love, and I tried it once and my car exploded, heh. I'll try it again tomorrow.

My EB doesn't do that anymore, but even when they did they required the receipt to do the switch. Yeah, just about any store will let you bring something back if you have a receipt and a valid reason to bring the game back other than "I don't like it much". Most stores will only allow you to exchange something for the exact same item if you have already opened it. Good luck Matt. You might have better luck by going to TradeGamesNow, GameTZ, or even the video game exchange forum at DVDTalk and trying to trade with someone that way.

Plenty of stores do trades, of course. I'm talking about stores accepting an opened game for a brand new sealed one, which is what I thought this guy was talkign about. Like taking an opened game to WalMart, expecting a new sealed game in return. That's what no store will do.

When he did that move off the top rope to Kane at the PPV I thought he really was going to be the next Sid.

You have to give her the purple dildo as a gift to get past that part of the game.

Yes, no store will allow you to trade in an opened game for something else. If they did, people would be doing it every day.

Like I said before, if there is any fault with this film in my eyes, it's the simple fact that if felt too short, even at 121 minutes. It's pretty rare for me to not want a film to end. The only times that happens with me is when it's something I just fall totally into, and this one did it for me. When I noticed the end was coming up, it had to drag me kicking and screaming, heh. I felt like a kid in a candy store whose mom was yanking them by the arm pulling them out away from the sweets.

Dreamworks: Shrek Shrek 2 Shark Tale Pixar/Disney: Toy Story A Bug's Life Toy Story 2 Monster's Inc. Finding Nemo The Incredibles Also, if anyone here wants to watch a bit of Boundin' (the short before The Incredibles) then go to the following link. http://www.pixar.com/shorts/bdn/index.html

That's the main reason I liked it so much I do believe. Just because it's Pixar does not mean it can't be a bit serious and dark. This one ain't rated PG just for the hell of it.

Would you rather me bitch about all the things I hate? I could do that you know, but then I'd be not unlike so many others. When I go to the theater and pay my $7, I make sure to the best of my ability that what I watch, I'm going to like, at least a little bit. I stay away from things that that just flat out look like they'll be horrible. But when I end up going to see a piece of shit, I call it. The Village - POS The Day After Tomorrow - POS Alien Vs. Predator - POS The Grudge - POS Fahrenheit 9/11 - POS Van Helsing - POS Resident Evil: Apocalypse - POS The Forgotten - POS Garfield: The Movie - POS And when I see a truly great film, I call it also. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Great Garden State - Great The Incredibles - Great Shaun of the Dead - Great Collateral - Great Ray - Great The Passion of the Christ - Great All of the above are just off the top of my head, there are plenty of others that I liked and disliked. I'd just rather talk about things I thought was great, more often than talk about things I think are shit. Still, when I hate something enough, like all the movies I listed as a POS, I make it more than known, and have done so here.

Yes, For the Birds is pretty good also. I'll just say I like all of Pixar's work up to this point. They haven't let me down yet.
