Finding an old horror movie

hi,

When I was in school I rented a VHS tape for a movie. I really want to see it again, but I cannot remember anything related to it, such as the title, or actor or anything. So it really bothers me even though I cannot remember if I liked it or not.

The movie started with a space station/ spacecraft where there is a devil kind of person who really enjoy playing games. And there is a good guy who somehow goes back to earth through some sort of magic portal, and leave the devil in the outer space.

I remember I watched this move early 1998. So it must be released before that. more likely it is released between 1995-1997, but it could be early 90s.

Thanks for reading my message!! 67.183.128.119 (talk) 06:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't exactly fit your description, but could this be Hellraiser: Bloodline? / edg ☺ ☭ 14:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Event Horizon (movie) took place on a spaceship with one guy possessed. I don't remember much else about it. -- kainaw™ 16:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I remember the phrase Hell is just a word, reality is much worse or something to that effect. Besides that EH is pretty mediocre. The OP's description does ring some bells in my mind but I can't place 'em definitely. --Ouro (blah blah) 17:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Hellraiser in Space, Leprechaun in Space, Jason in Space. Event Horizon fits the description except for the "likes to play games" part. Really scary movie though. Beekone (talk) 18:30, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Euro games on American PS3

Supposedly, PlayStation 3 games are supposed to be region free, but can European games be played on a American console? Or does the whole NTSC/PAL thing screw it up? To anyone curious, I'm considering importing the European version of Rock Band if its song list if different enough from the American version.--SeizureDog (talk) 21:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Colbert report and Daily show

Who the hell is writing the scripts and stuff since it came back on the air. BonesBrigade 22:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Its still the same guy, Eric Drysdale, just check out the Colbert Report article for more info.--Dlo2012 (talk) 17:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• That's not true. According to both the Eric Drysdale Official Website and the Colbert Report article, Drysdale and the other writers are still on strike. If the Colbert Report is like other shows, then presumably the producers are writing the scripts, while Colbert himself does a tightwalk dance in which he contributes material but does not "write" -- a dance that some people say is not fooling them. --M@rēino 23:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
