Oh come on now. Megaman stages are so small, they almost don't need maps.
I would have liked to see the Phantasy Star series maps all drawn out. There used to be a separate hint book that came with those games at a pricey $40.
This stuff is seriously trendy. Any given year Cebit or Comdex or E3 is better. I don't know if the floor space would wow me as much as the product showings. 1 company demonstrating 10 things, is equal to 10 companies demonstrating 1 thing each.
What matters is how well you do in life, not in school. Without a computer or computer skills, it's hard to get high end jobs in any industry. A student can get more As without a computer, but they'd be knee deep in shit when they see it everywhere.
Sony's got a non-japanese chief Howard Stringer now. It's probably the boldest any company of that size can make. He's bringing corporate views from the outside, which explain more and more changes to come.
You have to understand, for a Japanese company to break culture to do this, is like Americans letting a non-white individual to be president. Sony lost the mp3 player market, and all other electronics stuff is mediocre. PSP and PS2 is about the only ammo left.
If you read the sunday flyers, BestBuy is opening their store extra early on Thursday. This whole create-demand by cutting supply concept is getting played out. Stores are so afraid to have even 1 extra inventory nowadays it's scary.
My problem with Napster was the fact that after you paid for the service, half of every album is blocked off. You can't stream it, unless you buy the track labeled "BUY ONLY". Paying twice doesn't make sense.
Rhapsody is superior if you like streaming. I signed up, and it's been months. I am still blown away by their collection.
You don't need bigboys to make big game titles. Right, it's not about software development. However, in the unfortunate video game industry, bigboys can afford big lawyers. Which equals to buying big licenses and claiming ownership to intangible things.
Player associations, porshe and ferrari licenses are just for starters in 2004/5. I guarantee you 10 years from now, someone company would have draw out a contract for guns. Thompson, Springfield, M16, colt handguns... these will only appear in exclusive war games. Afterwards maybe the government will impose a tax on using U.S military vechicles in games.
Apple is not known for bargains, nevermind free stuff. Look at the prices of the iPod accessories, they are a complete rip off.
I bought an iPod way back thinking it was revolutionary. I should have waited, cause the market is now flooded with equally good products, Dell DJ, Creative Zen etc.
SquareEnix is putting way too many eggs into the Final Fantasy series.
They need to bring back the Chronotrigger series. The new FrontMission game for PS2 that came out was so half assed compared to the old PS1 version. Can this company actually allocate budget to anything non-Final Fantasy related.
802.11n faster than 100 Mbit/s. Are we for real here. Isn't this the 4th protocol released in 2 years? Why don't we wait just another year for 1000 Mbit/s.
While I hate all this parental garbage talk, I am all for setting up a real review process for the sake of creating more jobs.
The reviewers need to play the games thoroughly, and some games like 200hrs. Game companies should be smart by keeping out all the gore and blood till later levels when the reviewer might have given up by then.
Games will not be released until it has been reviewed. Bang, you will need to hire hundreds of people to review thousands of games. And the reviewers should be paid by a "parental tax". All parents who have kids need to pay this tax period.
That always horrify me. My eyes always feel strained after playing lots of games or spending insane number of hours in front of the screen. I always wonder if there is something to it.

Who cares. Anything can be researchable if giving enough resources. Credit card companies hold more info about you than the government anyways.
So does the Playstation2. There are already a bunch of games that work with camera sensors. It's not that ground breaking anymore.
I am the exact opposite. I can't stand that dry paper feel, I'd rather hold an ebook or labtop. Old books, newspaper print ink all over your hands.
The smell is annoying, especially when it comes out of a library sitting on the shelf collecting dust for 10 years. You can't read in the dark.
Let's say you want to search a character quote, you can't do it quickly on paper. Search process is superior on computer.
With tablet PCs nowadays, you can write all you want on it. I can even bookmark the exact line where I left off. I hope paper books become obsolete.

Woah hold up. There is no way baseball generate more stats than basketball.

I don't know why you say no one read slashdot anymore. It's still the premiere techie forum. Is there anything really better? If so, I'd like to know.
I am not sure they WANT to own p2p networks. I think they just want to own you in court.
Yeah I got a 19-inch CRT. That's all I have.
That always horrify me. My eyes always feel strained after playing lots of games or spending insane number of hours in front of the screen. I always wonder if there is something to it.
DOes this mean automatic improvement in FPS games for the regular gamer?
The only reason why tape drives are still common for enterprise backups, is because disk backup solutions were not affordable before.
Writing 40GB at 5MB a second is how tape manufacturers market to you. What they never tell you is how long it takes you to restore.
It's always low. Walmart ask for 4000 units, Sony manufactures exactly that number, maybe 3999 to create demand.
I guess we'll find out if techsupport and sales guys are really psychos when they hit sunlight.
Yeah but their revenue stream isn't that obvious. If you don't buy any CDs, they'll still cash in on mtv, radio, superbowl, clubs licensing etc.
I agree with the original poster though. That's like leaving a bank wide open with no security, and tell people to not steal a penny.
