They ARE making the vehicle to robot transformers again. Some apear to be new designs, some appear to be re-issues ofthe 80-s transformers I loved in my youth. In a nearlly related story He-Man is making a comeback as well. Time to get my kids the toys I really want for myself.
Screw the kids. Optimus prime needs to be in my computer room next to his 20 year old brother.
I recently pruchased a TiPowerbook w- apple works. I work as tech support (you have to start somewhere) and therefore no slouch when it comes to working around Word, Excel and the rest of office. I ust say I was pleasantly surprised by the elegant simpleness of Appleworks. It did what I neeeded it to, and away from work it is all I need to accomplish what I need from an office suite.
Maybe because you can remove/uninstall iPHOTO/iMOVIE/iTUNES and still have a fully functional OS. Not so w- IE, which is intigrated as Windiws file browser AS WELL AS an internet browser.
I could be incorect though.. this is just speculation on my part.
That "one word" was countered by GT3, THPS3, Metal Gear 2, SSX, and the come from behind champion Grand Theft Auto 3.
While Halo was (is) a great game and a top seller for the XBox, it wasn't enough to sell the console. One super hot title just doesn't do it.MS knows this, and I think they understand that the XBOX isn't going to win. This round. The next XBOX (which will NOT be called a NeXT Box all you apple/unix devotees) will be smarter, leaner,and (quite possbly) more geared to content delivery/ "all in one" console box that MS has been talking about for so long. Is the Xbox down for the count? Not at all. It just lost the first round.
You can never count out Nintendo or Sony. MS may be willing to wait out their losses but at the end of the day Sony and Nintendo can wait nearlly as long if they have to.
Exactly. If her kid had a problem that was THIS detrimental she should hav f...ing smacked some sense into the kid. 99.9999% of people who play erverquest DO NOT KILL THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF EVERQUEST
Sorry about the rant but as an avid, mature gamer , and a proponant of gaming in general stories like this just rub me wrong.
sue the woman for being a poor mother and allowing her son to abuse their products. Seriously, if he had eaten 200 twinkies a day and died because he was overweight do you sue Hostess? No. Games don't kill kids. Bad parents do.
This is no different from the whole "Doom killed my kids" thing. The parents obviously feel horrible, and can't face the fact that their negligence and/or poor parenting directly contributed to their childs demise. Therefore, someoine else must be to blame. Even if he killed himself because of events in the game he OBVIOUSLY didn't have a very solid seat in reality. She should go to jail for child abuse.
Grand theft auto 3 = shooter + sims(and a lttle "xtreeme bad action!!!" to sell the game). Halo= shooter. Good execution on both titles, but nothing revolutionary.
OK. You got me. I've been waiting for an original game for A LONG DAMN TIME. What have we got?
Rez.
Ico.
Both new and interesting games in their own rights, but not the bold sweeping inovation that has been missing from video games in recent years. Games to day are either A) Shooters, B) RTS varients, C) Sims varients, or D) combination of the above.
They are free as in Red Hat + Effort & $ = Merril Lynch Linux. Or Big Money Linux. Or I Am Free To Customise The Code Any Damn Way I Want To Because the Code Is Free As In Speech Linux.Good Move ML. I hope to see the other big firms follow suite.

Dear GOD I'm old....
The highlight of my weekend is STILL Saturday morning cartoons, 20 years after most people stop watching.
That and that whole not working it's the weekend bit make for a happily spent Saturday...
No offense, I love my EZ Pass, but robotic dogs that kick ass are way cooler. :^)

I dig Omniweb. It's just slower (by several seconds) than IE on my TiPowerbook. I'd like to use it more, but I have little patience. Sigh.
I knew Ho Chi Minh
Ho Chi Minh is a friend of mine.
You, sir, are no Ho Chi Minh.

Boo yah.
Not for anything, but I get looks of envy everywhere I go. I love that computer.
I could be incorect though.. this is just speculation on my part.
BTW Tactics is coming to the Game Boy Advanced.

Oh buggar. Were talking CUSTOM jobs here...
Oh well. Still a cool computer though.
A novel idea (not really), but what I want is PDA-type apps for my GameBoy Advance.
I couldn't hang. I can't write W S A or D fast enough to avid getting fragged.
NOTE: only moderate me down if you've played the Monkey Island games. Bit of an inside joke/running gag.

Just my 2 cents.
now THAT's funny.

Yawn.
Everyting crashes. Eventually. I think the point is that on a cost-per-unit basis Linux chrashes les per hour per dollar than most other OS's.
