We need a true shadowrun game. Nothing at all like the multiplayer shooter MS released.
A true old school cyberpunk game.
On a completely unrelated note, MDK could use revisiting.
Personally I think there needs to be a better distribution network for games.
Steam for example is great at what it does on the PC side.
I can grab a game when it comes out right away, but odds are if I wait 2 weekends it'll be on sale.
Or I can wait 6 months and it's lumped together with a few other games in a bundle pack.
90% of what I've bought on steam has come in a bundle pack that averaged out to less then $10 a game.
If they had a system this slick for the console market I wouldn't need to buy used games.
A while ago it was a common thread on 4chan to have torrents hidden within rar files appended to jpgs.
This lead to massive amount of virus infected files being uploaded.
4chan banned images that it could detect rar headers within.
I can imagine similar practices would be up and about on other image boards as well.
I can't imagine these are main roads.
What happens in winter when the city has to plow the roads?
Usually all gravel roads here are seasonal and closed during the winter.
I'll second the picture idea.
I'm a developer by trade and for the longest time I couldn't figure out what to do with my site.
I am not a graphic designer and all my designs don't quite cut it.
Some time last year I went to an 'IT Hero' event where I had a caricature drawn up of me as the flash.
That was backdrop to my site for a good 18 months.
I find that a good whimsical picture makes people enjoy the otherwise pointless visit to the site.

I can't say I've had any bad experience with Dell for support.
Amoung the items I purchased was a 32" TV. When it arrived and I plugged it in, it went into a constant cycle of reboots which made it impossible to do anything with.
A quick call and they had a replacement in 2 days, and free shipping on returning the defective item.
Another thing I like about Dell support is that if you're in an IT firm, you can qualify yourself as Dell certified. That way when you call in you can basically say 'Hey the hd is dead on this laptop' and provide a warantee number and they'll take your word for it. They won't ask you the 300 questions that it would take for them to determine the hd is actually dead.
But this may be the service -now-. I know they moved several call centers back to North America, and I can't say I've had any experience with that prior to 2 years ago.
I actually had a very similiar, but on the opposite end of the spectrum.
I bought 2 Asus P5K's and set them up with identical processors.
The Asus P5K comes with Asus Suite (has all these features like AI Nap, QFan, AI Nos, etc.)
On the first board Asus Suite reports the cpu temperature being 15C, and the case being 33C.
On the second board Asus Suite reports the cpu temperature being 22C and the case being 33C.
These numbers were completely off because even with standard cooling I couldn't bring the core temps to room temperature, or even below room temperature.
I ended up using CoreTemp to figure out the internal temperature, as every program that queried the bios would return the same erroneous values.
I was actually lucky enough to use this back in grade 2-5. We actually had the physcial device as well, where you'd tell the turtle where to go and it drive along the floor.
It was much fun, but in those early days we really were just drawing spirals and other various designs.

I've always wanted to be a ghost buster.

Not to mention Farley...

This had to be back in the late 80's
