I many not buy this game, but I'll certianly rent it. The controller, however, it looks like it won't help in other games, since it lacks a C stick and the directional pad. So, Zelda and metriod are out. BUt, it still looks cool. I think I'll stick to the wavebird for now.
This was one of the worst games I've ever played. The control was toally chopped up. If a defensive player evern grazed you, you were tackled. The only reward was to hear "Whoa Nellie. Touchdown." after every touchdown. What a waste of a rental!!!
Amen brotha! I know the freeware ZA isn't the End-All/Be-All of firewalls, but its good enough and it has never failed me. In other news, ZA has like 50 hits on port 135. Soon enough, I'll pony up some cash for the Pro Edition, simply because they did a good job, IMHNonNetworkingMasterO
I've always wondered why Life Force was never as recognized as Gradius. To this day, Life Force is one of my favorite games for any system. THat last stage, after you beat the boss.... It takes nerves of steel to get past the "Spontaneous Bars of doom."
Either way, a fun game indeed.
I've been renting games since the original NES. It's a great way of try before you buy. Then again, I worked through the games in a weekend, so I saved a ton of money by not buying all of them.
Now, it's no different. There are plenty of cool games out there. But most of them are not worthy of my $50.
I've had Sprint since 2000. The only place I had trouble was in my old apartment. Since my building was right beside another one, I got nothing inside. If I wanted to talk to someone, I had to sit next to the window and hope for the best. Since I moved to another apartment with line-o-sight to the freeway, things are a lot better.
I've been doing technical support since I got out of school with a brand spankin' new BS in Computer Science. Tech Support was all I could find and the only killing going on my poor, battered spirit. :(
1. A Gameboy Advance is a good way to pass some time.
2. Basketball or soccer. There are always people ready and willing to play.
3. Learn arabic. I've tried for the fun of it, and it's no picnic. But looks from your co-workers as you read Al-Jazeera every morning would be worth it!
According to this chart, earth has enough methane to show up on this orbiters sensors. Ok/.ers, it's time to lay off the Taco Bell and Burrito King visits during lunch.
In all my games, people are named shady or something like that*. Back in 1997, I was watching an episode of Sanford and Son. Grady, one of the characters on the show referred to himself as 'ShadyGrady.' Since then, I have referred to myself as ShadyRudy in all the games I play, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc. *So you see, it has nothing to do with Marshall Mathers III.
I can get Mandrake running on it just nice. And yea, I'll leave the winmodem to the 31337 guys. And the suspend problem, well ya. Not much I can say there. The network works well though. I haven't (and never would) try XP on it, so I can't comment on that. Most of the support issues I get are all software, so I'd check down that avenue before anything hardware related.
I work for Dell Now that I have that out of the way, you should look at the Latitude C640. That thing is a rock, just about the right size and you can upgrade the heck out of it. Then again, when I goto Fry's, I drool over those iBooks, but they are a bit out of range for me.:( The IBM thinkpads I've seen all belonged to friends of mine. They were pretty old(circa 1996), but sturdy and still alive and kicking.
Yea, I was going to post about the same thing. I didn't KI2 have something too? I do remember a football game having one.
At any rate, it seems like a cool idea, and I'll be getting F Zero for sure.
I mean, we know what happens at the end. Unlike other RPGs, where the ending may not be what we expect. I mean, is it really gonna let you do different things like have Noah just goof and not build the ark. Then, die with everyone else when the world gets flooded. Or, have Adam say, "No thanks, I'm good." When Eve offers the fruit from the tree of knowlege? Probably not.
One way I could imagine the game is like Eternal Darkness. Play a different person in a different time period.
1. As Adam, name everything differently as you wish. See the ramifications in the future, during other adventures. IE, name females 'chick' instead of 'women'.
2. As Noah, round animals from all around the world. Possible FPS action with arrows or tranquilzer darts.
3. As Moses, flee Egypt. When the red sea parts, start a 'Metroid-esque' counter, so you know how fast you gotta get outta there.
And on and on.
Yea, I know it sucks. But its all I can use on my windows boxen at work.:( The "MAN" says we cant install other programs and my system came with Windows media player.
But at home....
Recently, I purchased a CD. I didnt notice that the CD came with some copy control technology. The little copy control icon looks like an atari style Pac-Man eating another, smaller Pac-Man. Now, I don't use kazaa and all those things, since I'm on dial up it would probably take 30 minutes to download anything good to begin with. (Mozilla 1.4 RC2 took over 50 minutes to download.)
Now, I work out every morning at the gym or at the park. I take my Rio S30S with me every morning so I can have some good workout music to keep me going. Now, I cannot easly rip the tracks off the CD and put them on my Rio. Why? According to some little program I downloaded, there is something called Cactus protecting the CD. Now, some people do whatever they do on Kazaa, but I don't. Because thouse people participate in copyright infringment, I lose the ablility to copy music I purchased to another device, for my own use.
Basically, what I'm saying is that people will keep on downloading. Sure, I could have gone to kazaa and downloaded these songs, but I didnt. So now, I have a CD that I can only use in my CD player. They (the music indiustry) put copy protection on a CD because, as they see it, criminals copy and distribute their music. With the copy protection on this CD, I am being treated like a criminal, though I have committed no crime.
Disclaimer 1: All my music are ripped from my own CD collection to 128 WMA.
Disclaimer 2: I stilled copied the music using LAME. I dont want to lose my 31337ness with the/. crowd.
Even though I'm sure they can fit all the Mario games on 1 GBA cart, I'm glad to see this one finally come out.
Now, they should do this for Metroid and Zelda as well. Also, does anyone know if there would be a problem with releasing zelda games from other systems? Its unfair that only like 20 people in the US got to play them since they were released on systems I can't even remember.
1. Come out with a new portable video game system.
2. Insult potential customers
3. ????
4. Profit!!!
Actually, after that comment, I will never buy this poor waste of landfill space!
Back in my SNES days, when the Houston summer was too hot for football, we'd break out John Madden every day. ANd it was good. Then, one day, we got Troy Aikman football and a little later Monday Night football. (Whoa Nellie, touchdown) Needless to day, these games sicked big time. We hated these games so much that we opened them up and spat upon them. It didnt make the any better, or unplayable, but it felt good!
I don't know how feasible it is for your particular case, but when we needed an app to help us at work, we wrote a nice, clean working demo and showed it to management. *bang* Just like that, there was much praise and awe. Of course, YMMV.
I would play those cheesy on demand AOL games, like slingo! Now, that game wasn't on my HDD, since I had to visit that particular site. (I'm sure it was cached in there somewhere, but I just wanted to play, not analyze my AOL directory) This was around 97.
I liked it to. But, I was never able to rescue any of the members of the band, either.
Also, I think that game was rigged, despite being fun. I mean, there was no way to avoid pumping quaters in that thing. No matter how good you were, you always got shot up.
Oh yea, I'll never buy this game. EVER.
... everything you see today for no charge on the site will be free tomorrow.
Well, thats good. Now, I hope that we dont get flooded with pop ups or those in between comercials ala Ign.com Sure, Moz lays the smackdown on the pop ups, but the commercials in between pages... No thanks.
While we may someday introduce new features that require payment, nothing you see today is going to be turned into a premium service.
I wonder what they could add as a premium service. I mean, you go there, post a message, see how to defeat Motherbrain in Metroid 1 and thats about it. I'm sure they'll think of something. Maybe pay to see the newest FAQs. Something like this:
The next Slashdot story will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and see it early!
the "*BSD is dying" trolls. So, they throw some numbers around, and volia! The answer they want, which is "We have done a lot, but there is more to do."
The fact is, the economy is tough these days. Yes, it sounds trite, but its true. Me personally, the last piece of SW I purchased was M$ Money(Hey, I needed help getting sorted out financially after college.) and that was in 2001. I also bought some of those 9.95 games at Wal-mart for my baby sister and some used games (Unreal & Heretic 2) from EB Games for a grand total of $20. Other than that, nothing new on the PCs.
Now, the Gamecube and GBA, thats another story...
If you don't like it, don't buy it. I think that would send the strongest message to the folks at Nintendo.
I am perfectly happy with the gamecube, and the current library. Sure, I'd like to see GTA on the GC, since I'll never buy a PS2(Sorry, buying a house. Gotta get ready for the assault on my wallet.) But, there are some great games coming up. I won't list them all here. Just visit Game Spot or ign.com to see the excellent upcoming games.
