Anyone watching the new Fullmetal Alchemist? How does it differ from the previous series? Worth watching?

When the Last Sword is Drawn - 8/10 Very sad, but also very good. Drags a bit and story can get a bit confusing since its being told from two people's different points of view, but overall a good movie about the end of the samurai and shogun period in Japan.

Sadly, I have no plans for new gear this year.... unless of course it's REALLY cheap. Though I will be looking for CDs and DVDs.

Try sleeping more. You should try to aim for eight hours of sleep every night. If you're tired it doesn't matter how much time you're spending studying/prepping/cramming for class because a tired brain just won't absorb it as well as a fully rested brain. Even if you've gotten by with less sleep...

Iron Man 7/10 Better than expected, especially since I've become rather jaded to superhero movies; big flashy explosions don't impress me. Main character was great, though everything else was less than average. Predictable storyline, predictable villain, but somehow I still came out liking...

I got a refurbished one off woot a few months back and it's a great bang-for-buck player. After putting rockbox on it did everything I wanted it to from a firmware standpoint. Battery life is decent, though it does seem a bit shorter when playing lossless files. It actually felt pretty durable...

Red Cliff - 8/10 Much better than I expected given John Woo's most recent Hollywood movies, but still fell short of what he could have accomplished. Not enough character development and some random changes to the original story also hurt the movie. Hoping part two will be better.

If you dont' care too much about what you name the files and want a quick Windows solution try: - Arrange files in order you want (modified in this case) - Select All - Right click on top file - Rename The rest of the files should all follow the same name with numbers afterwards.

I prefer real sushi, thank you very much.... but those look pretty.

I just got the Thinkpad R61i in May and love it. I got the extended battery and have been able to get over 6 hours of battery life. It's smaller than my old HP 15.4" and much easier to carry around. I figured out I didn't need a big screen on the go anyway, but 12" was just too small, so 14.1"...

I am Legend Theater Ending: 5/10 Original/Alternate Ending: 8/10

Probably had my first drink sometime around age 10. My dad's always been really open about allowing us to try his beer or wine, or whatever else he's drinking at the time. Strangely enough I don't have a problem with alcohol and actually don't like the taste of most drinks, hence even now I'd...

I never really loved Tarja, but at least she was unique. Annette sounds really bland, not necessarily bad, but there's nothing special about her. I was disappointed with Dark Passion Play not because it was a bad album, but because it failed to remind me of that uniqueness I'd come to associate...

House, family, retirement, rainy day, other boring practical things completely unrelated to my hobbies, etc. Seriously. Being an adult sucks.
