This one just didn't have that same type of suspense...and not as many Jigsaw devices. A couple, but just not the same excitement. Movie is short. I think we went in at 605, and were out before 730.....it was like, "that was it?"

The ending brings elements from Saw 2 and 3 back into play....kinda like how 3 had all those Saw 2 flashbacks.

Draw back to all of this, is that there is no new story line...just flashbacks to what you've already scene. I would say about 20% of this movie was back story on Jigsaw...how he came to be. Usually, backstory is kept to the first movie in a series, so you leanr about the scary guy.....oh well.

Captain Spelchek found some cause for concern with your recent post.

Not that I want to jump on the spelling bandwagon, but captain Spelchek, you missed one. though I guess its not so much a spelling problem, more of a wrong version of a word problem.

take a peak at your spark plugs when you get a chance. Brown is okay, black is bad.

Well, it is possible...if you look at the games, many of them are the 200/200 variety....but he/she definately puts in a lot of hours. If you look at when the games were recently played, he plays like 8-10 games on one date. I think the most for me right now is 3. I'm playing Lost Cause, GH3 and Forza 2 right now...but I could easily add Chrome Hounds, PG3, Marvel Heroes, Enchanted Arms......if I had enough time in the day...and no life.

Again....Acheivements are like post counts.

Speaking of achievements, the Patriots are going for the "beat the unbeaten" achievement this Sunday against the 7-0 Colts.

Cesar and I came up with a funny gamertag last night....so funny it may even be worth losing Sirchickenheart over....

New gamertag:

Achievement Unlocked 50g

that way, everytime I logged on, you would think you earned an acheivement

Loren, you could always start a new thread for the 2008 San Bernardino Calendar.....that way, it doesn't get lost in all the other topics that get thrown out here.

Give us a link when it is up. You can look towards our other links to see how to start it if you need some help....or, I could start one if that would be easier.

Do you have any ideas as for formatting. I definately want to keep it big this year.

Can we get bigger teasers please....cause thumbnail sized teasers are just a headache and not a teaser at all. I like the one that looks like your on a bridge...but then again, it is so small, I really don't know where your car was for the shot.

I would too, except that there are 7 gamertags over 200k, 5 of them over 230k.
There is also 151 gamers over 100k.
I need to play a lot more
