The whole movie is pure fan service. People who have not played FFVII will get nothing out of it. Well, maybe they'll like the cool stuff, but they will have no idea who the characters are and why should they care.
I want an RPG where you don't have to wait during the fights. I want the action to be snappy. A spell doesn't need to last 10 seconds to be impressive.
For example a "blizzard" type spell doesn't need to have a "snow concentrates around the enemy" -effect before the giant glacier impales the wictim. Also, summon spell could be short like "in the old days" when Ramuh came to the battlefield, some lighting shot around the screen, Ramuh left. This took maybe 2 seconds.
Yes, "slow" powerful spells might look really cool, but they start to lose their charm when you've seen them 20 during this one boss fight. Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call has a pretty good battle system from what I've seen. Attacks last maybe a second, and it's all like "wham, bam, splat" and your party is done and it's time for the next round. I really don't need to see the hero running to the enemy, take a swing and run back. I'm willing to tolerate something like Cloud's Omnislash or Squall's Lionheart, as long as the attack does damage from beginning to end.
At least have "fast battles" as an option. And get rid of random encounters (and that's apparently what has happened with FFXII).
Yes, but GTA is not real life. Nothing stops the game's creators making some reasonably straight roads form one city to the next. They don't have to look like they were made with a ruler, just dont make me go around half the state just to get to the next city.
And I DID use planes just bacuse of those stupid roads. I went to the airport, took a plane, flew it over the target zone, jumped out, parachuted to safety, stole another car and drove to the actual target.
And fuck you brother, your car has a digital gas pedal so it goes 120 mph unless I tap the pedal. Besides, I can buy you a new car, look at the top right corner of the screen, I'm a fucking multimillionare!
+ Bigger + CJ could swim and climb over walls. (and parachute) Swimming stopped boats from being deathtraps. Knee-high hedges no longer stopped you from running away when getting your ass kicked. + FPS style aiming (combined with auto aim). You could move while being ready to shoot at any moment.
- Working out and eating. Nice idea to be able to customise your character, but was there any advantage to being morbidly obese or really scrawny? I just went to the gym for a few days to max out CJ's muscle mass. Running and eating a salad every few days did the rest. - No roads were even close to being somewhat straight routes from one city to the next. You always had to drive these serpentine roads or just drive off a cliff and hope you land on your wheels. - Missions with stupid car usage limitations. Yeah, it's not realistic to drive 120 mph for two blocks in your brother's car, roll it and just steal another car, but this is GTA! Come on, cars are extremely expendable! If you want to have those kinds of limitations, make it easy to drive at "normal speed." - Okay, so you can get some gang members to follow you, but as soon as you do, there are no more rival gang members anywhere. It's way easier to get gang wars when going solo. - Camera is still pretty shitty in tight spots on foot.
The console version requires you to modify the game's save file on a PC to activate. And after you've played the through the scene, the game breaks. You are stuck in an eternal fall on the sidewalk in front of your girlfriend's house.
There is no way of accessing the sex minigame using only a video game console.
To my knowledge, very widespread. As in I use one, pretty much all my friends use one and I have this feeling of reading about it somewhere. So, mostly anecdotic, with a pinch of pulling stuff out of my ass.
I'm guessing Finland. Finland did mint some 1 and 2-cent coins for collectors when we started to use euros, but they are not in regular use. Stores must of course accept them as payment because they are legal money.
When paying with cash, the final price of the purhchase is rounded to the nearest 5 cents (prices ending in 1, 2, 6 and 7 are rounded down, while 3, 4, 8 and 9 are rounded up). If you use a credit or debit card, you pay the exact price.
Yes, the price is always rounded when paying with cash, even if you have 1 or 2 cent coins to pay the exact price.
None of this means, of course, that real-world rape victims "really want it." "Women who find submission fantasies sexually arousing are very clear that they have no wish to be raped in reality," say Leitenberg and Henning. In their fantasies, women control every aspect of what occurs. And their scenarios are far less brutal than real-life attacks. Typically the fantasy involves an attractive man whose restraint is simply overwhelmed by the woman's attractiveness. These fantasies serve the same psychological purpose as scenes of irresistibility. "It's different means to the same end" says Leitenberg. "We want to be desired."
The article must mean that the ratings have declined due to rampant piracy. Why would anyone watch something off the tv if they can pirate it from the iTunes online store.

Bayesian filtering, specifically POPFile, has made spam pretty uninteresting to me. I check POPFile's logs about once a week, but it's just not very interesting anymore. I still get several dozen spams a week, but none of it sees my inbox.
This has pretty much been the situation since the late 2004. People said that spammers will find a way past statistical filters, but that hasn't happened yet.

No, I just hate people who think that repeating the same fucking joke stays funny forever.
Oh piss off. The joke left the station long ago and you missed it.
Using mini dvds would have made the PSP even larger.

Some pros and cons of GTA:SA:
+ Bigger
+ CJ could swim and climb over walls. (and parachute) Swimming stopped boats from being deathtraps. Knee-high hedges no longer stopped you from running away when getting your ass kicked.
+ FPS style aiming (combined with auto aim). You could move while being ready to shoot at any moment.

In Opera 9 TP 2, it's:
Tools - Preferences - Advanced - Sites - Default settings - Cookies - Delete cookies on exit.
Right-click on the page, select "Block content..."
If you are really using Opera 9 Technical preview 2, right-click on the page and select "Block content..."
opera is far from being as featureful (call me when opera can be as configurable as firefox + thousand of extensions)

There is no fungus under my keyboard. But then again I'm not a damn dirty GNU/hippie.

So cut the graphics first. You won't sell as many copies, but you'll make a better game. And isn't that what's most important in the end?
No dear, sales are not important at all.

Save one of the shoes. If Gran Turismo launches within 3 months of PS3's launch I will buy it from you and eat it.
