I better not answer because it may be viewed by some folks here as being chauvinistic and sexist!!

that is the problem nowadays with all these American companies outsourcing to foreign country, how can they provide any kind of customer service if the people they hire in the other countries can't speak decent English? I called Microsoft Support one time for my friend who had problem with his Windows XP and the person on the other end was a lady in India (I asked her where she was and she told me she was in India) and I couldn't understand one word she said. I spent more time trying to understand what she was saying and constantly asking her to repeat herself than addressing the problem with Windows on hand and fixing it. I hear Burger King or McD*onalds's is considering of outsourcing their drive thru service to a central call center in a foreign country. So next time you go through the drive through, you may be talking to someone in India sitting in front of a computer terminal who will take your food order and send it to the restaurant you are at (hopefully they will send it to the correct restaurant). Well Angelaian, you don't like Moles and I don't like Rabbits in my yard. Me having Rabbits in my yard is exactly as bad as you having Moles in your yard. You may find Rabbits cute but I don't and I know exactly how you feel to find your yard, which you spent time and sweat and work and money to keep it up, destroyed by critters regardless of how cute they are!!

cosplay? what's that?

they had a Tomb Raider Lara Croft Anime series on Japanese TV about 6 years ago but it didn't do well. I always said a Tomb Raider movie should be CGI animated and not live action to work!!

We can get into the new Chat room using Firefox; if you are using Internet Explorer, it won't let you in!!

I tried using Internet Explorer, it doesn't work just like AngelR and Shrensh said. But with Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/) I can get in just fine!!

I was behind this guy in an expensive BMW (the $80,000+ kind) the other day; the speed limit was 45, he was going 25!! So i decided to pass him on the left and guess what he does? He pulls in front of me when I was almost to to his side on the left lane and slams on the brakes coming to a complete stop!! Good Thing my car has the Accident Avoidance System or I would had rear ended him. So afterward, I backed up in traffic and went around him on the right, he came up behind me real fast and passed me and pulled in front of me and started slowing down. I tried to pass him again but everytime I did, he would cut in front of me. We came up to the red light and he pulled up in the lane next to me and rolled down his driver's window and started cursing at me!! There was a Houston Police Patrol Car sitting at the light too on the left turn lane right beside me, I honked at the Officer, rolled down the window and told him about this Moron next to me that almost got me killed. So the Officer got out of the car and started talking to the idiot and made him get out of the car. We found out later that the guy wasn't drunk or under the influence of anything; he said he didn't like anyone passing him because he was afraid that they made get too close to his GERMAN car and scratch it. What a Moron!! He was ticketed based on my promise that I will go to court and testify against him as a complainant and a witness; plus when I told the Officer I was a former HPD Officer (which they did look up on their system), who do you think they are going to believe?

you just played all 7 TR games in their entirety? when do you find the time?

Thank You Tom; you are a God Among Men !!

Baby what Baby? Oh Noooooo!! J7wild runs out of the room screaming and pulling his hair!!

I hate internet service providers!! I've been with Warner Cable Roadrunner forever and because of some legal action that resulted from the bankruptcy of a smaller Broadband provider in my area, the courts have ruled that the territory that was originally covered by that bankrupt company in my area to be split between Warner Cable and Comcast. Furthermore, Warner Cable in Houston will become Comcast and Comcast in Dallas Fort Worth will become Warner Cable: tell me if that makes any sense?? The service reliabilty has gotten worst since it became Comcast; in the last month, I experienced 2 service outtages resulting in needing a Comcast Technician to come out to my house. The last time they were here 2 weeks ago, they left the internet router box on the side of my house uncovered and I have since called them 4 times and they created 4 separate service calls tickets; oh and everytime I called, they told me on the phone that they will ESCALATE the service call. If it takes them 2 weeks+ to take care of an ESCALATED service call, I hate to see how long an UNESCALATED service call takes!! Finally, I got fed up with their broken promises, I went out there and bolted the cover back on myself last week. We had major storm that passed through the area over the weekend and this morning, my internet service has been running at slower than 28k/sec. I called Comcast and it's the same song: Maybe it's you computer!! No, it's not, my computer is fine!! Have you tried shutting down the Cable Modem (which belongs to them) and rebooting? That always fix the problem!! Yes I have and it Never fixes the problem!! It's always the customer computer, it's never the ISP's fault!! Their equipment and service is soooo PERFECT!! They tell me the earliest they can send a technician out is Wednesday between 12 pm and 5 pm. I cannot live with this kind of slow service until Wednesday!! In the meantime, I went out to the cable box and I took the cover off and I checked every wire and connections in there: I presume several of the neighbors cable and internet service go through that box. I felt several connections and cable by touch with my bare hand and some of if were wet, probably from the rain. I took a clean towel, unplugged each one and dried both the male and the female ends; the whole thing took almost 45 minutes and I doubt a Comcast technician would had done a better job. I put the cable box cover back on, bolted it down, came back into the house and I shut down the computer and the cable modem and the router. I let it sit there for 5 minutes and rebooted everything: guess what? It's now running at 6,880 kb/s which according to the speed test website, it's 14% faster than Comcast Average cable connection: http://www.testmy.net/ Oh and my cable bill since Comcast took over? It has gone up by $13 per month plus another $6 tax for a total of $19 a month!! I just called Comcast and I told them I fixed the problem myself and I will have my attorney send them a bill!!

damn look at them ABS, how much time does she spent in the gym each day working on them?

nothing like hanging upside down and let that good old blood get into your brain... you are so lucky and I am so jealous!!

can we just play blocks? like the Pacific Levels in TR 3, I can play them with my eyes closed!!

okay I quit!!

as long as it's not the London Levels of TR 3 and anything after Cairo in TRLR or the Young Lara levels of TRC!!

if you rent a movie from Blockbuster or Hollywood Video, they charge you full rental price for each day you return the movie late ($3.79 or $3.99 per day?) and it can really add up. my video stores charges $1 late charge for regular movies and $2 for adult movies; but apparently there are some customers who thinks because WE ARE NOT Blockbuster or Hollywood Video, they can keep the movies for as long as they want and when they return them, and we tell them for EXAMPLE their late charge is $10 for 2 movies that are 5 days late (which at Blockbuster will be $40), they get irate with us and tell us to go to H**** and threatened to call the Police. Some people are just idiots!!

why is it every night when I am chatting in YM and having a good time doing it, Andrea start yelling at me "...to come to Bed?"

the part in the Lost City of Tinnos with the real high room and the multi-level ledges and switches and lever and you have to pull one, drop down safely and run to the timed door below the bridge before it closes. Talk about frustrating!!

I like getting the secrets, it was the most challenging part of the TR games: remember the one in City of Tinnos? WOW!!

come on Shrensh, we want to see more Strange and Morbid Lara Deaths screenshots !!

I miss Lara saying "A-Ha!!" whenever she found a secret; that was cool!!

it's true!!

I stick with the PC and I'm waiting for the 1 GB 3D Card!!
