I'm going to have to say that I'm liking Riddick on the same level, if not a tiny bit more than Half-Life 2. Another excellent action title from Starbreeze. I haven't stopped playing since I got it installed. McNevin, thanks for the bubble wrap. It did take forever, and I did need something to do. :D I just got stamps, so I'm sending down the plate tomorrow. (I stayed home from work today and didn't get out.) Think 2 stamps will do it for an ATX plate? I have more, but it's pretty light. I bet it weighs a third of the discs you sent up. Anyway, they've actually got some pretty decent voice tallent in this game. Ron Perlman among others. The engine looks better than HL2 or UT2004 (though I think Doom3 engine tops it by quite a bit, (Riddick's textures are better than Dooms though.)) This game actually deserves my $27.00 If I wasn't out of cash right now I'd go buy it despite the copy you sent.

Also, I'd highly recommend the PC vesion over the XBox one for all you wacky XBox users. The graphics are quite good, and of course the control.

Oops... Put this in the wrong forum... :D Was a little out of it last night.

Glad you like it. I have tried this, and the xbox version, and I agree, this should be played on the PC.

Two Discs + bubble wrap came to .60 for postage, so that should be adequate for the atx plate. Thanks again for sending that, i'll feel much more complete knowing there is not a big hole in the back of my system.

You could use that handy postage atm thing at the post office, thats what I did.

Just put it on, see if it even needs more than one stamp, then abort before you have to insert the card, and use a regular stamp.

That is if you are going to the post office, if not, then prolly just use 2.

I found the stamps. I grabbed a Microsoft envelope, and mailed it today. :D So when you get an envelope from MS, that's it. I put 2 .37 stamps on it, so that should cover it. Should be there soon. I usually don't get things from you the next day, usually 2nd.

Splendid. I may have to have you email me a couple. I have to go through my GB/GBC collection, and see if anything is missing. I think I may be missing a couple Megaman games.

Today I received a little scrap of metal that used to be an atx plate.

Hand Cancel is your friend!

Sorry Admiral.

Hmm... I'll see if I can find one like it.

I think i can bend it back together, I'll try buying one from msi if that doesnt work.

Well, thanks for all the effort of getting ahold of it and sending it.

Hopefully I can fix it.

I've never used this "hand cancel" you speak of. Usually when I mail anything it's in a box. This is the first time I've sent something via envelope. I looked at the plate, and thought, "hmm it's tiny and flat, I'll just mail it in this..." :D

Any mail that you do not want to go thru a machine at 10 letters per second write "Please hand cancel."

I guess its a little known secret...

I don't usually use standard mail, so I missed that one. If I use USPS at all, it's usually Express or Priority. Otherwise I use FedEx. Not all that familiar with the ol' mail terminology....
