Then DVD would cost more. Part of the reason the format is so popular is because it is cheap to produce.
Now, if it were optional, that'd be cool. I vaguely remember some sort of CD player that you'd have to put the CD in a special case first, and it'd read it while in the case. The case could also be used for storage.
We do this all the time where I work. Use another machine to burn a copy of the latest service pack, and the Sasser worm fix, and whatever other updates you want to include. After installing, install the updates from the CD, then check windows update for anything else.
Oh man, I'm stifling laughter so much right now... I'm surprised it even ranked 22... I was expecting to see it, but maybe in the 30s or 40s...
Have you tried to use Dragonfly (Drexel's wireless network)? Coverage is spotty as hell. Maybe if you're outside you can keep a stable connection, but I know I don't walk with my laptop out... get run over by one of those damn landscaping trucks driving through the quad. I had 1 lecture where I could access the network, and that was in the CS building. My dorm I could get a weak connection, but it would drop randomly. Overall, its good as a backup for the wired network, but its not good on its own.
Then you obviously missed the point of the series... you think DBZ is godly, don't you? Your description of the series really shows you didn't watch much more than maybe 6 or 7 random episodes, not a good bit to judge a series as a whole on.
Its not an action series, it never claimed to be. Its made to be a sort of mystery/suspense series, which is does exceedingly well.
Except the show's original incarnation was in English, therefore the english names should be canon, at least for G1 (up until Headmasters), Beast Wars, Beast Machines (sadly), and I'm not sure, but maybe Armada (also sadly).
Chances are you don't, but most of the people I know that run LAN parties routinely contact the companies when they have one coming up. Often times, the companies will supply a few copies of a game or some hardware or other merchandise. I have two heat.net shirts from such parties. Hell, I was at one where they had Razor Boomslang mice provided (when they were new and cost like $100)
Some games are simple in control, but need some thought to utilize said controls.
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time has a pretty simple control system, but it can be challenging in learning how to use the Prince's abilities effectively. When there's 4 big sand creatures with swords as big as the Prince, you need to pull off some fancy stuff:D
Liscenced music is really more for the action and sports games... look at Tony Hawk or GTA:VC. I have yet to see an RPG or even an FPS with liscenced music.
Because, like me, you know that if you have it, you'll over use it and get neck-deep in debt. College loans give me more than enough debt, thank you very much.
Uh.. as far as the mail goes... the show took so liberties, but the characters in the show were using flashmail, which is what you use to arrange parties. For the most part, it never went beyond that.
Inventory.. yeah, I agree that's a bit bad.
Equipment... maybe your members are broke?
And as for the towns, do you need all that room? They're too big as it is half the time. But we can explain this by saying the version the anime characters used took too many resources on the servers as the players increased, so they scaled down towns. Remember, its a 3 or 5 year (something like that) difference in time from show to game.
Slashdot Mirror
Ever have someone call complaining about WATER in their CD-ROM drive?
Yeah, explain that, if you will.
Flipping the bird is a fairly common insult, I think. I know I've seen it in PLENTY of anime, sometimes combined with the "eyelid pull"
Or it could be a plot hole.

You've always been able to... I had three of them in a van or ambulence back in III. :D
And a powerful one, at that... *is pelted with rottern fruit*

Delete your old install first, then install it. Or install to another folder. That should make it work.

No, Four Swords was a port of Link to the Past, not the original.
Though I don't know about the linking... dunno there.
I paticipate in and GM around 10 RPGs through message boards. Of course, the people I'm with, I've never met in real life for the most part.

I have one.. can't play it for crap though.
Spirited Away's subs were fine. Laputa's were slightly out of time, however.

My cousin has both on PC, and Sorcerer's Stone GBA.
While not great, they were good timewasters.
But wouldn't it be easier just to make education GBA games? After all, you don't make profit on the hardware....
You'd most likely be considered a terrorist.

Furbys don't actually record. It was just major paranoia on the DoD's part...
XPlay on TechTV is good.
