Why do people continue to buy movie based games?  Maybe this article will help...

If history has shown one thing it's the masses are stupid and don't learn. Fortunately I'm no longer (but then when was I?) part of those dumb masses that rush out to buy "cool" stuff...

It has never failed to surprise me how dense people can be, and society seems to get even more so with every passing day.  People can market anything, no matter how ridiculous, and ask too high of a price and yet people will still buy it if it has a picture of a movie character, a logo from something popular, or has something like "NEW" slapped on the front.  They would buy glow-in-the-dark sunglasses if they were HULK glow-in-the-dark sunglasses.

If whatever I just posted sounds rude/hateful/whatever then you probably read it wrong, but I will insert apology here, anyways, just in case.

Dang it!  I have been having real problems with these forums.  I have had to refresh every solitary page to get it to load, so I ended up double-posting, here.  (Can I delete a message?)

Is this close enough?

Paladin: I sometimes need to click a link twice because te connection times out the first time. Started after the server change. Did they go from Linux to Windows or what?
