It was going to be an FPS for the Mac (maybe PC too?) and the team included the guys that did Marathon Infinity. The setting was going to be a cool alien religous world. It had a pretty gritty look to the whole thing. At the time I was totally psyched because the story looked cool and it was going to be one of the first true 3D FPSs for the Mac at the time.
Unfortunately after some nice looking screen shots, the project was cancelled and the studio dissolved. I think it was lack of money, but I'm not sure.
I missed this game back in my SNES days, but I'd watch my friends play from time to time. I just got it last week and wow this is fun, finally a reason to bust out my GBA since Zelda (and Crystal Chronicles on the Gamecube).
The story can be a bit hokey from time to time, but I just remind myself to pretend I'm 13 years old again and it works. Now I just need my friends to stop trying to spoil the story while I play it.
Yes, don't buy an Xbox. Buy a PlayStation. Sony doesn't want to control our entertainment. They have only our best interests in mind;)
Seriously though, maybe that's a good reason to just buy Nintendo. They'll never have enough clout to take over the entire TV room. I don't see a Mario Media Center anytime in the near future.
Why can't we hold off on space stations and such until we're getting close to a Mars mission (which is probably decades away)? Also, we've already kept people in space for long periods of time (or at least as long as long as a trip to Mars would hopefully take), so we already know a lot of what happens. Is it worth spending billions of dollars just to be a little more confident?
I don't mean to say postpone all manned spaceflight indefinitely (I know the whole point of all this is to put people up there), just do it at a time when it's more critical and less costly.
I know this argument is getting old, but this is a good example why we should be spending more money on unmanned probes instead of high-cost, low-science manned missions like the space station. There's little reason at the moment to spend large sums of taxpayer cash on things that provide little benefit. Imagine all the probes we could be sending instead. A whole fleet of Cassinis, Voyagers, and Mars Rovers combing the solar system! Let the private industry (ie. the guys with Scaled Composites and maybe even Virgin;) take the baton on manned space flight. Hopefully the private industry will find ways to lower the costs so that when we finally need people in space, it'll be practical.
I used to watch this show fanatically when it was just Kate and Leo, but as soon as Kate left it just wasn't the same. It seems like since then they've just paraded in a whole slew of different people and none of them ever really stuck with me. Sure, a lot of the new girls are cute, but few of them seem to have Kate's personality.
As far as G4 goes, I don't see why so many people knock it. To me it has the same feeling TechTV used to have (when it was still ZDTV or whatever). For the most part, the hosts aren't just pretty puppets, but actual gamers and in some cases game industry insiders (the guys on Judgement Day). Also, it's nice to see what some games look like on an actual TV screen in motion instead of just as screen shots on the web. Lastly, Icons is a really great show. It's nice hearing about video game history from the people who lived it. Anyway, enough ranting, these rays aren't going to trace themselves:)

OMG, the aftermath of eating an extra value meal and then playing DDR is too horrible to imagine. Blowout comes to mind though.
