I was there shopping for a video card about a month ago. They didnt give me a lot of crap whilst picking it out, but after i did, I was walking around the rest of the store with it, looking at some stuff, and this employee kept pestering me: "Are you ready for me to take your money now?"
On GameFAQs, that someone compiled of the actual games you will be able to earn in Animal Crossing. Keep in mind the game is only out in Japan, and Nintendo is messing with which games to offer Americans
In: Donkey Kong Excitebike Punchout! Ice Climber Pinball Baseball
Unsure: Balloon Fight Super Mario Brothers Tennis The Legend of Zelda Mario Bros. Donkey Kong 3 Donkey Kong Jr. Golf Clu Clu Land Clu Clu Land Disk Version
Low Chance of Making it: Donkey Kong Jr Math Wario's Woods
Out: Gomokunarabe Mahjong
So, while there are some good games on there, they are the REALLY 1st gen NES games, with not a lot of depth. I loved pinball and excitebike as much as the next kid, but they are "play an hour and get sick of it games" to me at least. (i think the NES got a little better with time Especially when it game to sports games).
I have my doubts about whether they would actually release Super Mario Bros. or Zelda, seems like it would be smarter to hold onto those for a future GBA release.
Too bad they couldn't get the cooperation of the 3rd parties on this. I would have loved to earn Mega Man 1-6 and maybe some RPG's. (i know, thats unreasonable.)
Mario Bros. (NON-super) should make a great (albeit simple) GBA game.
I dont know much about magentics, but even if it were made of something magentic, doesn't that cease to be the case when there is no planetary magnetic field?
(I really don't know, so an explanation rather than a flame would be nice)
also, I know this isn't a common slashdot question, but how about Sports? Can you catch out of market games on this thing? I'd imagine there is some sports talk, but I'd like to be able to listen to some games across the country.
My question regards censorship. Do they actually let the comedians and rap artists swear on the air? I hate my Digital Cable music channels for editing all the songs.

Does anyone know of a good site for videogame PC/Console reviews that isn't gamespot.com (subscription) or gamefaqs.com (crappy, 10 year old written reviews)?
come on now. If anyone had the dispoable income to ebay a high level character, it would be curt schilling. Plus, he could use that to get people to help him. He did announce the server and char name a year back.
Also, according to the article a year back, the only time an pitcher really does anything is the day before his start. So on road trips, apparently after the games, all the jock players hit the bars, and he'd stay in his hotel room with a gaming laptop and EQ. he owns a wargaming company as well.
terraforming on a planetary scale seems to be more of a 800 to 1000 year project. Definiately something we should be starting, but it will take MUCH longer than 15 years.
You should read "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan. Great Book.
Perhaps its just me, but if the surgical technology was SO good that this tranvestite man WAS a hot woman, I don't think I would care. (This would have to include voice, body hair, gentials, the works.)
I know it sounds gross, but if there was nothing physically male about he/she and he/she was now a normal hot chick with a cool personality and wanted to screw me... go ahead.
It is official; Netcraft confirms: Scotty is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Scotty community when IDC confirmed that Scotty market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers> Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Scotty has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Scotty is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict Scotty's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Scotty faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Scotty because Scotty is dying. Things are looking very bad for Scotty. As many of us are already aware, Scotty continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeScotty is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenScotty leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenScotty. How many users of NetScotty are there? Let's see. The number of OpenScotty versus NetScotty posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetScotty users. Scotty/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetScotty posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Scotty/OS. A recent article put FreeScotty at about 80 percent of the Scotty market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeScotty users. This is consistent with the number of FreeScotty Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeScotty went out of business and was taken over by ScottyI who sell another troubled OS. Now Scotty is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. All major surveys show that Scotty has steadily declined in market share. Scotty is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Scotty is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. Scotty continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Scotty is dead.

Needless to say, he didnt get the commmission.
agreed, I'm still laughing over that one.
thank god.. I thought you were going to post that picture of the 12-year old in the devil suit. Whats up with that?
That chick, on the other hand, is attractive.

someone who feels better than you becuase they spent the last 15 years on usenet will come in to explain it.

Are you kidding? The Trolls would probably devise ways to eat up as much bandwitdh as possible in each post, just to piss people off.
You obviously never played on Tallon Zek

he said "COUNTY", jackass
Dude what? Your top baseball, tennis, and snowboarding athletes get along with the geeks? Those are GEEK sports!
Go ask the football and basketball teams if they want to play some Civ III.
hey, North Dakota Rules!
Screw you, buddahy
>i>from the insitute-and-prostitute-share-a-lot-of-letters dept.
They share even more letters if you spell institute correctly.
Beer smells pretty good though.
So do a lot of household cleaners, and I don't ingest them.
Fuck Fuckety fuck man. I have a girl and she fucks me, and neither of us poison our bodies.
I wouldnt want a girl that wants to share a pint of beer with me, cause the drink tastes like SHIT.
yeah, poisioning yourself with fucking alcohol seems like a much better Idea.

Thanks a lot, sorry bout the offtopic.
Interesting... thats not funny at all.
