wordsmith I got Red Steel, Call of Duty 3, and Zelda TP at launch. Red Steel is the worst of the three, but I do still enjoy the sword fights-- but they don't happen often enough. I would rent it if I were you.

wordsmith The sword fighting is fun, but it's over to soon. The story parts get tedious. I've been having trouble with it, so I started playing other games. I have Zelda TP and Call of Duty 3, and I like those better, esp. Zelda.

wordsmith I have seen this footage on tv, and I noticed it was loaded up on youtube as well. It does appear to be a rather half-hearted swipe that Tigger makes at the kid's head. If the kid wasn't hurt, I don't see the parents getting very much in the way of a...

Is it right to throw away someone else's memories?

Ashida @Ashida (1370) • United States 1 Jan 07

If you came home one day to find that your spouse had thrown away pictures of your former lovers, what would you do? Is this right?

wordsmith I wouldn't do that. I think the past is the past, and I have never been threatened by a memory. I guess would be different if the the pictures were hanging up, but I wouldn't throw them out.

Do you buy canned food if the can has a dent?

Generics vs. namebrands

Ashida @Ashida (1370) • United States 26 Dec 06

What are some things that you won't buy the generic version of? For us it's macaroni and cheese. Every knockoff we've tried tastes like noodles mixed with orange sand.

wordsmith I don't mind most generic brands, they are usually better buys. It depends on your tastes; my mom will only use Hienz catsup-- but she busy lots of other store brands. A good rule of thumb is: it you don't like it, it's not a good deal-- even if it's a the...
