I don't think fans of the Doom games (myself included) are looking for a "direct adaptation" of the games. However, when you take out Hell, Demons, Mars, and Space Marines, it isn't even Doom anymore.
The DS is not a replacement for the GBA. Nintendo is still having developers working on GBA and the DS. Nintendo has said that there will be a new Gameboy and the DS isn't it.
I used to play FFXI and my favourite controle scheme was WASD for movement and IJKL for controlling the camera. I guess my geekiness also showed when I preferred to type all of my commands out instead of using the menus (For what it's worth, that's before I discovered the Macro feature).
As a student studying electronics, I must say that killing somebody with a function generator has a decent amount of satisfaction, altough explosive barrels are fun too.
If you had a game like saving private ryan, it would be tedious to play, easy to die, you wouldn't be able to aim worth a shit (read major handicaps), would get out of breath real fast, lose your coop buddies right at the start (and they could not rejoin for the entire duration of the game)...
Wow, Saving Private Ryan is beginning to sound a lot like Counter-Strike;).
I hope the Y Axis is either inverted or the option to do so is available. Atleast Nintendo has present an option to us south paws, but damn it I'm not picky when it comes to my control schemes.
Well, for what it's worth, Final Fantasy III (the Japanese version, which has never been translated into English, officially) is being ported to the DS, although Square-Enix have yet to confirm a US release date.
Valve never removed the cd-key authentication from Half Life one and in fact added the requirement that Steam be installed through an update.
Valve, however did make it so that you didn't have to have the CD in the tray to play (as did Epic with the UT series). BTW, with the exception of multiplayer, you were never required to install steam to play Half-Life.
As for Steam itself, I prefer the idea of Steam compared to some of thw wicked schemes that publishers are putting on games, such as refusing to run if you have imaging software installed on your computer.
Except, as far as I know, nobody has been able to crack it yet because the files are still encrypted. When you authenticate your copy with the Steam servers, it decrypts the files and allows you to play. I'm sure cracks will be flying all over everybody's favourite torrent sites soon after the Steam servers start authenticating.
The original PS2 DVD laser crapped out pretty early on for many users. As did the laser on the original Playstations. It seems Sony refuses to put a decent laser in their system until after the systems have good market penetration. It makes me feel sorry about anybody who's buying a PSP at launch. For those who are wondering, this isn't an anti-Sony rant, I have both a Playstation and a PS2, both of which work fine, but there have bene large numbers of units who have had problems with their disc drives.
Well, if you have a thumbdrive you could always throw a copy of Portable Firefox on there. Of course, this assumes that you have access to the USB ports and the security policy at said institutions allows for it.
As a resident of North Eastern Ohio, I'm actually rather suprised that you need an ID to vote in a number of places. How it works for us, atleast where I've voted is you go to the polling place to which you are assigned (which is done by district) and you simply tell them your name and then sign your name in their book of registered voters. THis can obviously lead to problems if you show up to the incorrect polling place.
I wouldn't be too suprised if it ran fairly well. The game does ship with an OpenGL renderer, though it isn't supported and you have to edit the config file to enable it.

No, because the rollercoasters open when the park opens, and the people who didn't wait in line got to ride it first.
While I can't speak for other parks, Cedar Point opens half an hour earlier than the rides.

You mean like the Tapwave Zodiac?

It's a reference to this /. story. In one of the comments somebody suggested that "In Korea X are only for old people" and somehow it took hold.

The PSP uses Sony's memory sticks. The "deluxe" Japanese bundle comes with one as well as head phones and other goodies.

Oooh, are they going to have a hearing in the Senate on the fact the sky is blue too?

ugh, I hate replying to my own posts, but that should be "code-name" not just "name".
They are; although no information has been released so far, other than its name: Revolution.
Except, according to both the first post and Aspyr's website, the game is being developed by iD while Aspyr is the publisher.
For what it's worth, Rockstar relased GTA as freeware a while back. It wouldn't hurt to try to get it to work under Wine.
And for the record, other than the opening movies, Vice City works perfectly under Cedega.

For what it's worth, the PSP will have regional lock outs.
