The problem with all these games is they can't appeal to the regular joe. That's why Matrix Online will have a rare opportunity to appeal to anyone. Except so far, I haven't heard one good thing out of the beta testing.
Is this Nintendo's way to prove that the DS can be more than just a video game player? I think they are beginning to regret not launching the DS like the PSP as a multi-purpose video/mp3 player out of the box.
It'll be a matter of time before they realize the DS was launched similar to the N64 missing CDrom capabilities. Go ahead laugh at the PSP battery issue. Watch that be the only weakness.
That was the problem I had with school. If you REALLY know your material. Then you'll know most professors can't teach. College professors are there to do research for the university. Not to teach you squat.
Which comes back to my original point. If all the professors do is give you assignments. Why not just take the easiest major to graduate and earn that degree / piece of paper. After all, I can assign myself my own damn assignment.
I think I am the only person who likes to pay $100 for the H&R block service. I used to do Turbo tax too, but my returns were never remotely close to the H&R block service. They make recommendations that I would never dig up in a million years.
That's the problem with Nintendo. Once they knew Mario worked, they abuse it by putting him in every game.
They are not creating new and better gameplay. They're not even creating sequels here. They are just trying to market the same damn thing again and again. And see who's stupid enough to keep paying.
Well, the NeoGeo was $1000 at debut. Look where 3D0 and NeoGeo now. It's only natural for xbox2 to follow the same track.
I don't even see the need for an xbox2? Doesn't xbox1 have insane underutilized hardware anyways. The console market is about software, not hardware superiority like PCs.
Someone from Japan with the game PLEASE post a Car List somewhere! There are too many hyped-up lists that are fakely floating about the internet. I am dying to see if my favorites made it. I don't want 40 versions of Nissan Skyline!
The ultimate package would be like a 3D filmmaker studio.
1.) screen writing tools 2.) 3D script animation engine 3.) 3D film editing like adobe premiere 4.) DTS sound editor. 5.) mpeg compiler to make one big movie
This script is readily available on the internet. This is part of the hymn project, which is LEGAL. I DID NOT write this script!
Just download hymn.exe, faad.exe, lame.exe in the same folder as this VB script. Name it something.vbs. Drag your iTunes.m4p files onto this script, and out comes mp3 with all your personal credentials deleted. You can play this anywhere, and share at will without worry.

I am just happy to see anybody compete with Nintendo in this monopoly market of theirs.
Call me evil, but I want to see Nintendo tank the same way Sega did with dreamcast. Like it or not, they'll have to make Zelda, Metroid and Mario available on all other platforms to survive.
If it's not in the sub $250 range, most people won't buy it. And just because they say it is cheaper, doesn't mean it'll be affordable until 5 years after it hits the market.
I am looking at gamerankings.com, and most sites rate this game a 80% out of 100%. Compared to UT2004 or COD or HL2 or Doom3, it's not even in the same league description wise.
Problem with Samba and Windows NT. I never figured out how to get this thing working without sending the password credentials as "plain text" in the registry. Which absolutely defeats the purpose of even logging in if you have no security anyways.
Shouldn't it be the other way around where I want to migrate everything to x86 instead. Since it is the series with the fastest and most continuous growth.

Like most laws in the U.S, this is built to punish lower and middle class citizens only.
Rich folks that are proven guilty will be punished with lobster dinners and prisons with arcades, ps2 and golf courses.
Those lists were pretty good. But where the hell is the Dodge Neon and Volkswagon Jetta? They are so common in the U.S.

I know of one person in all my years who own a Gamecube. Everybody else owns a PS2 and xbox.
Nintendo should admit defeat, close the console division down. Concentrate on the handheld battle with Sony.

Expect 2 versions of Gran Turismo.
1.) The regular new gran turismo version. Probably won't make it in March 2005, I'd say May.
2.) The online version in 2006.
They are milking it for money.

I was almost sold to the idea of TiVO.
Then MythTV came by.
Then I heard Comcast would be doing something.
Then I heard SBC would offer something.
But M$ media center has been around.
But it's technically no different with regular XP and snapstream Media.
Then this HP wannabe device is coming out.
Did I miss anything?
Man these are horrific news. I guess it's back to everquest for everybody.
Fire? If they hostile take over a new company everyday, it'll be a nuclear catastrophe of biblical proportion.
I can't believe we are in 2005. And M$ Outlook can only integrate 1 hotmail account at a time.

Yeah they found out the 8 million donated bottles of potions of dexterity didn't feed anyone.
