Ok, its English, not German. In English, we use the verb BEFORE the direct object.
So "9 women and 1 month do not a baby make" should be "9 women and 1 month do not make a baby".
also, while more powerful, the GBA decided to go with A and B buttons and Two Shoulder buttons, L and R. This does not compare to the extra X and Y buttons included on SNES. Sports gaming is annoying when you have to use shoulderbuttons to throw to recivers and such. I think you need 4 Regular buttons to make a solid gaming system, and thats why this project is a good idea.
yeah, no shit. I brought my gamecube home to my dormroom with Super Monkey Ball (a great game) and these "hardcore guys" Just passed it off as kiddie and made fun of the whole thing. That is one serious marketing effect Sony/Microsoft has going on. I think its the color black and the blood that makes a game/game console hardcore... i'm not sure.
I live in North Dakota, so maybe I have uncommon knowledge about the North-Cerntral part of our country, but Montana is most decidedly NOT flat.
The rocky mountain range runs directly through almost the entire state. It could probably challenge colorado for total mountain density.
Eastern North Dakota is on the other hand, very flat, and sparsely populated like in your example. We have a couple gamecubes in each store, but can't find accessories for a damn. Also I heard Best Buy here still has an X-Box or two.
ROTFL.... Damn metal slimes, how do you kill them anyhow?

couldn't have said it better myself. SNES was the PEAK of console gaming. Enough power to make interesting ideas, but not so much that you could sacrifice gameplay for graphics.

Pilotwings 64 was a blast, and beautiful. even on the SNES it was a good way of showing off the graphics capabilities of the new system. I hope they make one for gamecube.

Maybe we don't bomb every last one of these countries because there are reprecussions on OUR country. Every Arab country we bomb pisses off a large group of people, and maybe we've made the decision that Bombing Iran is not a good idea because it would create 50 bin ladens. So we choose to save thousands of our people in the future for thousands of theirs now. Sounds reasonable, we should look after our citizens first, right? Maybe thats not saintly, but its intellegent.

its called a commune. Join One if you dont want to vote for corporations with your buck. Or at least pay premium for friendly-corporation goods.
The Simpsons actually started ripping off the family guy lately. They never used to do Real Life product gags, they just had that episode with the Trix Rabbit.
That is a Family Guy gag, they did the Kool-Aid guy and the Two Scoops of Raisins thing, among others.
To the average person, for the price... Broadband just isn't THAT broad. If we could get more like 50k/s Upstream and Downstream all the time, people would be more than happy.
Hell, half the time my ethernet connection in my dorm room performs not much above crappy DSL or a modem, and Joe Sixpack is inclined to blame that on the CONNECTION, not on the sites they visit/traffic.
Its pretty much the same with any tech product.. unless they can see a marked improvement they choose the cheaper thing.
Take some examples of things where average people noticed no marked improvement in the more expensive item.
-Crappy printers vs Nice Printers
-Deer Hunter vs Good computer games
-Store bought compaq vs well designed computer
-56k Modem vs broadband (becuases broadband just doesnt work as they were advertised)
...then think of things where there WAS a marked noticeable improvement to Mr. Average User
-CDs over Floppy disks
-Comfy keyboards
-AOL over other ISP (Ease is a HUGE feature to Mr. Avg User)
and so on.
CD's, Comfy Keyboards and AOL (post dialup crunch) all work well, all of the time. Yes, AOL works fine for Mr. Email and Web Surf. He does not want to ftp, or IRC or deal with protocols whatsoever.
Broadband just didnt work ALL the time.. and when Mr. User knows there is an alternative, he will change.
Mr. User doesnt know there is an alterantive to windows, sorry. (maybe mac)
He wouldn't buy a microwave that only SOMETIMES cooked much faster than an oven when an oven was already built into his house.

I as well live in North Dakota, I agree he could save some money by USING the heat. Where the hell in this state are you at? I'm at UND (for now).
that wasn't funny...

I bet it's programmed in Ada.
Did you just refer to Los Angeles as "El Lay"? Oh my god.
with scrambled eggs and syrup...
I did, damn it, freaking hundred hand slap!
But SNES controllers, being the peak of controller design, kept on working just fine.
Its genius.. they are redundantly Slashdotting Slashdot. It will cause some sort of infinite loop and crash the whole internet. Obviously.

I don't know that I dare to ask the price on that one.

Such is broadband.
not at all, I just keep up on Ipaq gaming, and a good majority of the stuff doesnt seem suited to the platform. Just my opinion.
