Dynasty warriors is a very cool game. I do like the character design and the fact the female characters wear armour. I also like the fact it has stayed that way.
Some of the other games have been known to start with a good character design, main character of metroid, main character of perfect dark and then do something very stupid. EX Remove shamus mask and 'sex' her up, put the main character of perfect dark in fhm.
Which kind of destroys their crediability as tough characters.
Sounds like fun. Our regular cyperpunk group runs then though, 2 trainee accountings, 2 store clerks, 1 trainee lawyer, me(programmer) and the GM whos in warehouse work. Pretty broad spectrum of people, at least on this side of the water.
I'm generally happy out as a woman gamer. I love RPGs so they are the main thing I play. I also play other types of games but I devote most of my hours to rpgs.
As long as the clothes and attitudes the women have aren't ridiculous (wearing pieces of string, having to be rescued in a patietic way, signing over the men like a women in a frank miller comic) I have no problem with it.
Exceptions to 'the having to be resuced' are of course Ico. That is truely fantastic. But in Ico it wasnt shoved in your face, she has to be rescued as she is a girl, its simple because they have a good story.
One point however I would like to make is, giving people a female main character option should not mean the same, as giving a faster yet weaker character. It shows a deep lack of orginality, and a lack of considered character design. If you expect me to believe that this character can take a bullet and keep going I'm expecting a least some muscle.
at least not for all of them...
there is a thery though that we could have been to mars and back in the early 1980's if the space program thadn't given up on maned missions.
Yes they do, they are just not mass produced.
Copies of the book of kells where produced. + a new modern day book is been produced in england.
The millinium book i think its called.
Plus some of the modern childrens books have beautiful artwork,...
As have a lot of the sci-fi and fantasy books, and many art books are produced.
"The unit is operated by nerve signals to the brain. The user sends a signal to move a muscle in the forearm, and electrodes detect this and pass the message on to the motors."
I wonder how well this works as previous robotic arms had problems with this as the arm did not make all the moves a real arm would ex raising a glass to drink out of.
Either way, this will help a lot of people...
"They are focusing on a wild strain of Salmonella typhimurium because of its efficient mobility and relatively long lifespan of about an hour without food."
So they don't entend to let them eat anything
That mightn't be to bad, as long as they are sure they can't eat anything in us....:)
"However, they are still hunting for bacteria with even more favourable traits. Sequeira says that feeding the bacteria to extend their life is not an option, because reproduction would gum up the system. However this wouldn't be an issue if only the flagella were used."
About here i started thinking about jurassic park and how...." nature will always find a way "...
hmm.
what if the bacteria mutated? I really don't like the thought or that. Or if it malfunctioned and released all the treatment at once
how do they intend to control its behavour i wonder?
How will it protect itself from other benine ( for us) bacteria living inside us. If anything attempted to destroy it the treatment would be realised?
high levels of radiation does increase the chance of mutation though.
therefore simple terrerestrial life could perhaps soon evolve and become totally deferent. terrerestrial decended life seems possiable..
Good article. I can't really understand it all though as i have not had that experience.
The division of kids into various sub groups such as "geeks", "freeks", and goths are not really across the water yet however it is coming in. American values spread.
There is no goths over here as a group that different would have too much social pressure on it to conform. the problems are there though. secondary schools like the american high schools have no student imput and that can be very frustrating. So far there as been no deaths. maybe however we should worry about the futher though.

Britian is actually doing it fine.
Why break whats working?
Anyway this idea seems a very bad idea.
I wonder if its because of the non-christan religious significance of the solar year.
I can just see bush hearing about people celebrating the autumn equinox, and going
'I dont like that. Lets get rid of it.'
Good plan actually.
Ha! They have big ones for trying that.
Wonder if they can look ya in the eye and say that.
*Grin*
Because everyone knows girls are allergic to keyboards.
Its burning me right now!

I enjoy rpgs!
Kill, robb everything

The suffering 1, terrifing game. Creapy as hell.
Scary the whole way through.

as all involved will have gone through the same arguments as have been covered here. :)
still,
Cabbits would be cool
because remember seeing lots of writing saying everything is fine is sooo much more interesting :)
Whyis it so hard for people to accept difference? This intolerence seems to be everywhere.

they aren't tee hee, if you breath slowly, you can pass when you are lieing. And i think theres other ways as well,
