Dude. Why would you want to do that? She _always_ wears the suit.. She cant take it off anymore.
I would link the penny arcade comic, but it seems the site is down.

Was at the store last week, and half of the phones there didnt have cameras. And all of those were less then 100$
Perhaps Im missing something, but I dont need the latest whizbang stuff on my cellphone. All I want is caller-id, contact list, and TXTing abilities. Hell, mine came with tetris... That was a nice bonus, but not required.
I mean, there _is_ a market for lower end, cheapie cellphones.
Problems with your COMPUTER?! Is your computer slower then when you bought it? Getting frustrated with dozens of advertising popups?

Actually, most people dont patch PERIOD. Most people dont even know about them.
Im considering starting up a small firm that ONLY does security updates and virus/spyware cleaning.
Lots of people will be willing to spend 40$ to get rid of the crap thats mucking with their computers, and a gaurentee that it wont happen again. (install firefox, AVG, and firewall of choice)
Of course, People are idiots, so im sure theyll still infect themselves.
Noone is holding a gun to your head, telling you to buy the new super-shiny version of the dvd. All that the studios are doing here is responding to CONSUMER DEMAND.
There are plenty of other evil things that these companies do. Harping on SE dvds simply isnt worthwhile.
This problem is solved very, very easily. Just. Dont. Buy. It.
The N-Gage is a poorly designed taco.. thing. Seriously, they arnt a competitor at this point, and the majority of gamers are ignoring it. Not a good example.
3D _HAS NOT YET_ translated easily to small dimensions. I imagine the psp will have games that fix this problem. This is more of a matter of game design then screen size.
PSP will cost several hundred dollars when it is first released. But wait till that pricedrop to 150$, and people will start gobbling it up.
Again, I dont feel that speculation is worthwhile until post e3.
My star wars fandom is old, dead, and buried. I thank mediocre writing, cliched storylines, and blantant consumerism. It just sucks now.
Frankly, after they cancelled sam and max 2, and fired their most brilliant set of (non-starwars) creative staff, I see no reason to buy a lucasarts game ever again. There was a very high artistic merit in the earlier lucasarts adventure games. I feel like this is lost in the constant re-hashing of starwars titles.
These days, the entire star wars universe seem to only be about milking the consumer.
Hell, they wont even sell me the stuff they own that I _want_ to buy! (read: friggin SE-only original trilogy starwars dvds) Im going to be forced to buy a bootleg, thanks to them.
"Actually I left out another part of what has killed arcades, online gaming over the internet"
Wrong.
People give online gaming far FAR too much credit. The vast majority of people who play videogames do not do so online; Either through PC or consoles. They play at home, or if they want to play multiplayer, with friends. Not online.
The only arcade I ever go to anymore is Dave and Busters. Thats for Mo-Cap boxing, police 911, and some other VR~ish games. And Beer. Lots of beer.
Which makes no sense because very few of the online games are actually profitable when you factor in server costs.
I'll stick with the single player ubisoft games for now. If you havnt picked up "Beyond Good and Evil," and "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" I suggest you do. Some of the most incredible games ever made.
Not only that, but the copying and distribution itself is inevitable.
People who support IP are, bascially, fighting a battle that they will eventually lose, unless they impose some incredibly draconic control rules against people and the internet.
It took me a long, long time to realize this. Now, I dont do very much bootlegging/downloading myself (not even mp3s). I consider my purchases of media to be "supporting" the artists who create the works I enjoy. It is unfortunate that many of the companies have made my argument for purchases moot, as they dont really pay the artists a percentage of sales:(
Come to your own conclusion on this, but realize that anything short of a massive big borther campaign will fail to stop the unauthorized distribution of IP.

Yes, because not 2 years ago the largest protest in history occured.
It was against the war in iraq, and involved more then 10 million people, worldwide, all on the same day.
I happen to still like the show, even the new episodes.
Dont get me wrong, they arnt as good as the earlier seasons, but there have been some REALLY funny episodes lately. Most notably the Henry the 8th one, where lisa tries to grow a penis.
Ive been playing GTA3 again lately as a "noble criminal."
I havnt stolen anyone except other criminals' vehicles. I havnt shot/run over/killed any innocents. (This is TOUGH!) I follow the missions word-for-word, and make it a point not to harm the citizens that are not involved.
Yes, its more challenging, and you dont get any rewards for doing it, but its a unique perspective in playing the GTA games.
Please try to consider this an opportunity. We are loyal fans who love your games. It is sad to see the ones who made such amazing games as "the dig," "sam and max," and "full throttle," let go like this.
Your art, directing, and style are magnificent. Dont ever forget this.
The reason you were let go was because of shitty, poor management. You should be HAPPY to get away from these people.
Now, A request. Dont stop making games. We love your sense of humor, your writing abilities, and your direction. If you guys release another comedy adventure game WE WILL BUY IT.
In fact, Ive stopped buying lucasarts games recently due to the stagnation your old fuckhead management seems to love so much. So, what I'll do is spend that money on YOUR games instead.:)
While its not a videogame, I sometimes wonder why I dont see "neon genesis evangelion" attacked for its heavy use of christian religious symbols. (not that they mean anything.)

..is dumb, as we have nothing to base the speculation on other then nintendo's history.
If you are going by that, it should be the "next big thing."
Frankly, if nintendo's next handheld doesnt do 3d, its going to get smacked by the PSP.

Theres nothing quite like a hitchhikers guide reference to gaurentee your ascent into karma heaven.
"Im so cool, you can keep a side of beef in me for a month. Im so hip I have trouble seeing over my pelvis. Now will you move it before I blow?!"
Coupon Clipper-type people foam at the mouth over those sunday ads.
Really.
Because "Prince of Persia: Sands of time," was a financial disaster.
Oh, wait, no it wasnt.
The Passion of the Christ is considered by many to be the most violent movie they have ever seen.
I'll just let you turn that one over in your head.

Maybe Its just under their radar.
But my plan is failing miserably!

Ill try a more recent film next time, like kill bill 2. (which sucked)
Well, think about it.
How many people have said "God, I hate those Quiznos Commercials."
Mission accomplished.
FYI, Ive eaten at Quiznos once. It was gross. I dont reccomend it at all.
