Now, where are all the console game developers? Japan! Hm, think we're likely to ever see Squaresoft, Capcom, Komani, etc developing for the Xbox? It isn't likely. They do all the developing over in Japan, then, if they feel like it, translate and localize 'em for us english speaking folk... and I just can't see the XBox having a strong presense in Japan, so what's the point in these companies developing for MS's box?
BTW, AFAIK, those companies are already developing for the PSX2, so unless they switch over to the GameCube, the most that the XBox can hope to do is coexist with Sony.

That controller was horrible! It was way too bulky. The trigger *WAS* good, but that's the only thing about it that was. I'd say that Sony's dual shock was just about perfect.
This is where the "set top box" always lacks - no user customization or creative input i.e. you can't add new levels designed by the amazingly creative minds that design for Q/UT/DOOM and you are stuck with whatever the N developers make.
BINGO! I think we've just found out a use for the PSX2 hard drive...
Seriously, though - this reminds me of research at getting a network running through skin connectivity. Combine that with really small wearable processors, and you get to transmit files to your friends by shaking hands with them. The original implementation I remember was that you'd have a shoe that traded business cards with other people's shoes, by shaking hands. Crazy.
Eek. Imagine the kinda viruses that this could cause.
DON'T TOUCH ANYONE! Your computers will get infected!
The thing I'm wondering is... Why the heck did they pick those two songs? Couldn't they think of a better sound, perhaps maybe an ALARM? I'd tend to think that would make people a lot more worried than a little Beethoven...
What's the best email you've received from someone looking at your site? The one from Tycho [from Penny Arcade] where he offered to give me a back massage for 10 bucks and a baked potato.
I don't know why, but it's one of the funniest things I've heard in a while;)
I have no clue how this stuff actually works, but my guess is that although there's no air in space, there is one hell of a lot of cold. That, I'm guessing, should be sufficient...
Slashdot Mirror
Didn't you even do a feature on that too?! ... and you can't get the name right?

Crappy? I'd like to see you do better than this.

Squaresoft is doing it too.

Allright, think about it.
XBox = Microsoft. Microsoft = American company.
Nintendo, Sony = Japanese companies.

Plots for console games are normally shallow
You don't play very many RPGs, do you?

Chrono Cross, man. Chrono Cross.

I didn't see much where the article was (mebbe I missed it, but I didn't see it :/)
The specs for the thing are here.
They also have info on the gamecube and screenshots from it.

The best game of all time... one that just about anyone can play for hours upon hours...
Tetris.
Not any of those new stupid versions of it. The plain old Nintendo Tetris. That game NEVER gets boring... and it's so damned relaxing...

It looks like a VW Bug and a minivan decided to *cough* get together... and that... er, THING was the result...
I especially like that one commercial for the PT/C with the little kid... "what the.."

A really nice slick PT Cruiser ad
Am I the only one in the world that thinks that the PT Cruiser is the ugliest car ever made? (It even beats out the VW Bug...)

Very good! I knew you could.

I love that attitude. I really do. It just goes to show how unintelligent and totally ignorant you really are.
