I guess I'm not the only one. I rented that for the NES once, and had a difficult time getting past the first half of the first level. I gave up after about an hour.
Other than the Epyx Games series, Realm of Impossibility, and The Movie Monster Game, I can't remember what C64 games I wasted so many hours of my childhood on. 30 games sounds like a lot.
These games were all great, by the way. I'd love to see a remake of the Movie Monster game. I think it was an Epyx game, where you'd be Godzilla or a,arshmallow man, or just about any big monster from the 50's B-movies, and the goal was to smash a bunch of cities before the citizens shot you down. It was a riot.
If I remember correctly, you were basically invulnerable if you were the Blob, but it would take forever to knock the buildings down. Godzilla was more well rounded.
>Women are not offended by their own genders display of sexuality and power.
Well, ugly women feel threatened by sexy women. I don't think you'll find many attractive women opposed to this sort of thing. This only reminds ugly women of their shortcomings, however. Have you noticed any hard core feminists that are REALLY hot? Probably not.
Because obviously the DVD player comes with a copy of Vice City. You can't buy them separately.
And it's ok to lump all Wal-Mart shoppers and the entire company into one group, because it delays hard reality hitting my narrow-minded ideology for just a little while longer.
HAHAHA! RIAA, the music industry has changed! Technology has allowed greater sharing and therefore we don't need to go to a brick and mortar store to buy your crap!! Information wants to be free, it's everywhere!!! No laws will stop this!!! YOU are the thieves!

Dear Congressman,
Due to recent changes in technology, American businesses are now looking overseas to cheap labor to perform what used to be my job. This is economical for them because of increased ability to communicate cheaply and ubiquitously over the Internet.
THIS HAS TO STOP. You MUST do SOMETHING to protect my job. EVIL corporations are taking advantage of Americans by using new methods and technology to their advantage. This is not fair.
...to improve his "ride," Stan Wagon will be adding a "spoiler" (shaped like a rectangle) and a cylindrical exhaust "muffler" to make the vehicle more appealing to "the bitches."
Any time I turn on the TV, I love to see the brilliant women triumphing over idiotic men who couldn't possibly understand the nuances of daily life half as well as a woman. Those stupid husbands. All they do is burn food on the grill and screw up the DirectTV satellite. Of course, I feel like I need to watch more of this sort of thing to figure out how women and kids got so smart.
And thank GOD for gay men who are perceptive enough to tell us what to wear. Men's fashion has been in such a rut before these shows came along, Since Mr. Rodgers died, I didn't know WHAT sweater vest was in. Now, thanks to the "fab five," a hapless modern bozo like me can wear clothes that will look hopelessly outdated next year, just like the smart, professional women do.
But for the really hetero alpha males, we have shows about "Beer" and "Women with Tits." These cater to my testosterone tendencies without insulting my intelligence or sense of chivalry at all. It's enough of an outlet for me that I don't feel like I have to run through Circuit City anymore with drool trailing behind me, even though my wife will let me do that on occasion.
I hope they make more shows with the twenty-something male in mind. I'd like to see more obnoxious behaviour, especially related to beer and sports, which pretty much are the only things to occupy my consciousness, being a man and all. And plenty of sex, but please, only sex with strippers and ditzy sluts with huge boobs. Real women are intimidating to me.
Keep it up, guys! You'll never lose me as a viewer.
I think we can safely assume general purpose PC's will follow the same model eventually, especially if Microsoft gets its way.
What I find funny about the article is how speech enabled tablet devices are seen as the "holy grail." I just don't imagine these things ever being that useful. I can type as fast or faster than I can speak, and it doesn't interfere with other people.
But then again, given the cell-phone fetish many people seem to have, a future where everyone's walking around whispering into tiny devices does seem quite possible.
Because you'll end up paying $45 for the six channels you watch.
The cable company isn't sponsoring daily corporate carnivals for the CEO's kids with the money they make. The service they provide costs money. If they make less money, there will be an increase in prices to pay for the costs, or there will be a decrease in service.
Also, many channels that are decent but not necessarily profitable, i.e. CSPAN, will be the first to go.
It'll be a lot of fun paying current rates for six channels, because those are the only six channels available, no?
Funny, as an American, I wouldn't expect to go to Japan and have my kids not assimilate. I'm sure they'd become "Just another Japanese" within a generation or two. Why would it be any different in the U.S.?
Sadly, being an American obviously holds little value to you. I hesitate to ask why you stay.
Most servicemen consider it an honor to serve their country, and the ideals of the U.S. Constitution, in particular.
I don't think I could find a better reason to die.
Those who feign "sympathy" for the troops are pretty arrogant, ignorant, or both. We all die, eventually. Most here will die after pissing their lives away in front of a computer screen, criticizing events and men of which they know nothing.
That's the pathetic waste of life, if you ask me.
Honor those who died. Don't use them as fodder for your feeble and immature political arguments.

As much as a handheld for adults would be cool, I don't know when many adults would have the occasion to play them.
When I was a kid, we all played game boy on the bus, on long car rides, in restaurants. I don't see adults having that same free time.
That's why the Amiga is still so popular in the U.S.
If you cross your eyes so that the O in OpenGl covers the U, it's spelled correctly.
It's a demonstration of the technolgy.

It's news because it's finally appearing at an event where most people are wearing shirts with sleeves on them.

Then again, if your Russian was bad, how would you know they were calling it shady?
Careful there. I learned long ago if you really enjoy something one of the worst things that can happen is that it gets very popular.
Except the ACLU will take the law to the Supreme Court since it's discriminating against people who can't spell.

Hang on a minute there, propeller-head. Plane? What are you talking about? I use Expedia for that.
What they want is a woman who is all of those things, but looks like a man.

No, there are no ideas.
Only complaints.
Which is why these people find themselves unemployed.
Cadillac trunks are HUGE.
You could probably fit Honda's entire yearly inventory into one.

I think it's unlikely too. I think they'll stick to high speed powerboats for a long time to come.
