Oh, cry me a fucking river. There's a lot of us who want an enjoyable single-player game for once, and not have to have our skill determined by our ISP's ping time. You've got Counterstrike, Q3, UT, ad nauseum. Let the rest of us enjoy a new game, and not a rehashing of the Q2 engine, for once.
Let's not forget that Nintendo is also quite good at making GAMES, which is the whole point of this business. Who cares which hardware is better, which system has the best GAMES?
Exactly! Give the man a goddamn prize!
I've got a coworker who's got an Xbox, and keeps telling me about the specifications of the thing. I keep asking him, "So what games can I get on it now?"
"Get Halo!"
"And?"
"And... NHL 2002?"
I'll probably get a PS2 first (DVD and games together, so I can finally ditch Windows), but the Cube is cheap enough that I could probably get both now. Super Smash Brothers rocks my world.
And on a side note, I always thought it would be a cold day in hell when a Sonic game was available on a Nintendo system. I'm starting to feel my age.:)
I spent the last few hours watching Attack of the Clones instead. I had no idea X-Files was even around anymore. X-Files was great before the movie, but the after that, it was about as entertaining as a punctured colostomy bag.
It's just easier to get an ISO if you've got several machines, or if you just want to keep a backup cd around. I've got DSL, but I always get ISOs of Slackware (my unix of choice) rather than mess around with FTP installations.
True. I work at a Walmart (thank you for wincing), and you should see all the N64 clearance rack. Last count was one copy of Quake 2, one copy of Mario Party 2, and six dozen copies of various football games. I've worked there a year, and I've never seen a single one sold.

Who's "us"? China sure isn't hostile to my country.
As long as Windows has 95% of the desktop OS market and IE is the preferred browser on that platform, all of the the browser competition on the Linux front is somewhat meaningless.
There is not a country on this globe that has not had help in one form or another from the US.
Ah, okay. My fellow citizens who have been laid off (because your lumber industry refuses to modernize and thus demanded insane tariffs against Canadian lumber) will thank you. Yup. You sure helped out.
When a disaster happens in other countries, the US is usually the first one in to help.
Unless, of course, it's an African country with an AIDS epidemic that can't afford the ludicrous prices that US pharmaceutical companies charge for medication.
By the way, you're illiterate. Not that you'll know what that means.
Bull-fucking-shit! The US has constantly refused to pay dues to the UN whenever possible! I hope to god you're a troll, and not a standard cookie-cutter US consumer. (You folks don't deserve the title "citizen".)
The article didn't say how strong these things are. Will, say, a few seconds in a microwave oven damage them? "Cookbook" might make for a good pro-privacy slogan.
I think the US government should consult Squaresoft. They're the real experts in devising methods of keeping curious explorers out of dangerous areas, even after thousands of years have passed.
This might shock and offend you, so brace yourself: Not everyone runs their own mail servers, and not everyone knows Perl. The Bat is great for your average Windows user. It fills a niche.
(And yes, I think Canada should drop NAFTA and join the EU).
Now there's an interesting idea. As the future Prime Minister of Canada, I'll accept the deal so long as you allow Tim Hortons franchises into mainland Europe. Any requests in return?

Question: Do id software members get kickbacks from the video card industry? :)
"I wish," sayeth the Canadian, looking at getting a CAN$298 PS2 right now...
It would be more fair to call the Dreamcast an arcade port machine, I think.

Not to Linux users.
Your iRack is about to suffer a real-life DoS.
Don't forget Blade Runner. I'm sure all those companies love the perpetual advertisements they're getting, especially Atari.

It's illegal for me to trade mp3s over the internet.
As long as the copyright belongs to someone else, yes. If the mp3 is public domain, or you own the copyright, it's perfectly legal.

Could you repeat that in english, please?

Enjoy.
Can't patch this! (stupid repetitive music) Can't patch this!
Doubly ironic that someone called Lexx is pointing this out. :)
