Aries... right that was her name before you could rename her. I barely can refer to the game's characters by their game characters' names since I spent so much time with my own names for them.
As for Aries, can you really keep her alive? I would also like to know if there is a solution to that... just because even though I haven't played FF7 for years now, I would definitely play it right now if I knew a way to save her...
And forget about choked up... I have no problem at admitting I cried when she died. Heck, I had to witness it twice since I died at that level's boss in the game.
There are so many choices in that game, I always questioned if Cloud had to actually kill Sephiroh at the end as well.... (oops I let out a spoiler but the game has been out for how long?!?)
And what about the ending... I've heard a lot of different things about the ending of FF7...
FF7 was the turning point for me as well. Hadn't played the previous FF games but the cut scenes and story line gripped me for days (probably more like months) on end.
The worst (or best) part of FF7 was the ability to name your main characters and I named them after myself as Cloud and the others as friends. This fact drew me even further into the game and created somewhat of an emotional attachment to the characters.
I know it sounds a bit pathetic but when one of the characters died, I "lost it" emotionally. This game definitely affected me and changed the way I engage story line based games.
Apple owns a portion of Akamai, doesn't it? If anything, them using their servers is probably a lot less of a cost factor than one thinks.
And the Amazon 1 Click charge also gets factored into their Online Store sales as well and hopefully its not a Per-Click Charge.
It will seem like pennies but 100 pennies equal a dollar and so forth.
The iTunes Music Store is a nice service and something I've been waiting for and hoping someone developed.
And just about anyone that says $.99 is too much, they're probably expecting to get everything for free. And if they're expecting that... they're probably pirating music.
Why do you have to be paranoid to wonder that. I hate April 1st. Surfing from one site to another and trying to figure out who is being fool or being serious. Only 8 hours hours of this wackiness and I can stop being a fool.
Enough is enough. Just sue everyone. Obviously these parents have no clue what they are talking about. "two other families sent strong messages to the violence-filled media that they say made Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold more willing and efficient killers."
(sarcasm alert)
If these two were really any good at Doom and first person shooters, they would have been able to gun down a lot more students. They would have spawn camped and type killed which they obviously didn't do since they only fragged a couple dozen of their peers.
Any good "Last Man Standing" player could have easily instagibbed close to fifty kids. Sheesh. (/sarcasm)
Heck yea, I've experienced this. I left my last job because of this very thing described.
Right out of college into this small "web" design firm I knew I was going to have to prove myself but within the first months, I did. The company loved me and believed in my ability. But then, for no reason, this faded. And my youth, I guess, was too much for my fellow co-workers to get over. And slowly they stopped listening to me and then their projects started to fail and that's when I knew that I had to get out of there.
With some luck, I have joined a company that now believes in my talents and abilities. Soon enough I will be leading a team of designers and programmers who will have to listen to me. MOO HOO HA HA...
Basically, some companies look at the equation of youth = no experience... But they haven't learned the fact that us younger people have been born with a keyboard in our hands and code on the brain.
Windows in schools? Macintosh was all I saw throughout schooling which is probably worst than a Microsoft product.
Thank goodness I have been enlightened to another platform (Linux) other than Windows because I was ready to settle on the riduclous monopoly of incompatible non-crossplatform unreliable $oft products. The end of the Microsoft Age... just maybe.
We all know that simulation games and 1st person shooting up games are all designed by the government to prepare America's young to fight in real war situations. Though there are some groups that don't realize this and have regulations passed and rating systems enacted. The government goes along with this so that the weak minded individuals who can't get around the rating systems are weeded out and the smarter ones obtain the "instructional" software. Why pay to have soldiers trained when the youth will pay to learn how to be desensitized to voilence and death. Watch TV, listen to the music, and play those video games so that we all can grow up to be desensitized killing androids.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this... eck.
Yeah, that picture scarred me for life.
Intel forgot that 2 + 2 = 5.

This is it. The end of the world. I hope you have stock piled those Y2K supplies. We going to need them when the nukes are launched.

If I'm the first one with a Brittney Spears clone. :(
WOOT!!! Shazbot just because it will never happen.
I can actually a friend for once. Myself. Cool.
Hopefully, when they clone me, they take one of my personalities with it.
GO CLONES!!!
Gee... DirecTV does it with flair. I really like the "Game Over" bit.
