I'm not sure we have got kirbys here yet, we haven't good advanced wars, and a bunch of other games.
Try oredering from Lik-Sang (lik-sang.com). They send games with free shipping worldwide, I think. And, thanks to the relative strength of the Euro, you might get a much better deal there than from your local dealer.
It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea. -- Robert Anton Wilson
In today's political climate I see a strong tendency towards conservatism. So the opposite might be true: It only takes 20 years for a conservative to become a liberal without changing a single idea. -- Robert Anton Wilson 20 years ago, what conservative politician would have dared to attack things like freedom of press or say a preemptive attack is good?
Listen: It's not a remote control. It only looks like one. You control the game by swinging this thing (remote controls can't do that). This functionality might be nice for games like Soul Calibur, Resident Evil (finally, the chainsaw controller could make sense).
The article also says you can fit this thing into another controller, to play more conventional games (or get a 3rd party "standard" controller for 10 bucks).
My wife used the PS2, and then I came home and fixed it.
It's not nice to refer to your wife as "it".

But historical performance is in no way equivalent to an actual technical analysis
I have a feeling that it's MS's marketing department that decides what a new product should be able to do. So they say: "it should be able to do everything and be tightly integrated into the OS. That way, it will be more difficult for the Linux guys to produce something compatible and we need to take advantage of our market share."
Of course this new product will open all kinds of doors to trojans and viruses. I know it. You know it.
making games specifically designed for this controller means that they'll ONLY work on this console, the game will be impossible (or at least VERY hard) to port to the other consoles,
I've seen FPS on consoles that were originally designed to work with mouse and keyboard.
You know what? You can also play them with a console's controller that's completely different (however, most gamers prefer the mouse/keyboard combo).
Same with this controller: Some games will run better than with standard controllers, some not so well.
But imagine playing Resident Evil and actually swing your chainsaw the way you want it! This might also bring games like Soul Calibur to a whole new level!
Well, if Bush thinks there might be terrorists, be afraid (so don't tell him about the IRA!). You know, preemptive strikes against "possible threats" are official policy now.
I've never seen that in Spain (haveing lived there for 5 years). The sign "expreso" was maybe for the tourists who demand espresso. It's kind of useless, as normal Spanish cafe resembles Italian espresso (if made in a bar or restaurant; at home most people use a coffe maker, "cafetera", to make coffee).
The DOS emulator's name is Radnor.
Check it out.
Where to get old games? Well, search google for "abandon ware" These are very old games you can download for free. It might not be 100% legal in all cases. But I don't think that Westwood will sue you for downloading Dune 2 or Lands of Lore. On many of these abandon ware sites you will find emulators and stuff that can help you.
HTH and happy gaming!
Recently, I've really been wishing I could get a copy of Kings Quest 3 or Quest for Glory 2 that would play on OSX.
I don't know the name now, but on my mac at home I have a DOS-Emulator for Mac OS X which plays a lot of the old DOS games (even with sound). Forgot the name but I think it's freeware (no, it's not SoftWindows or Virtual PC). I used it to play DUNE 2. But this game is not as nice as I remembered it to be (if you're used to today's RTS games, everything seems very complicated).
From the resume: ...the groaning pricetags gamers will have to endure if they want to jump on the next-gen bandwagon.
So go with Nintendo. I'm sure the Revolution will be much cheaper than the 360 and the PS 3. However, the Revolution doesn't claim to be the fastest computer on earth and probably you can't do much more with it than play games. If that's what you want, get the Revolution.
The iPod is a prime example of an American product doing very well in Japan.
For most customers, it's not about American or Japanese. An iPod is small, stylish, simply a cool product from a cool company. (At least the original) XBox is the exact opposite: big, ugly and from the most un-cool company you can imagine.
Firs I must say: I have never played WoW or any other MMORPG. But I find it sad that some parts seem to be so un-fun that people pay real money in order to avoid them.
I would never pay anybody to watch a part of a movie or a TV show for me so I don't have to watch it. Because the whole movie is supposed to be fun. I wouldn't pay anybody to play a video game for me either ("I played Resident Evil for you. Enjoy the final cut scene. That's 20 bucks.")
This is the first time US vs Japan instead of Japan vs Japan at the start of the gate.
Remember Atari? Japanese name, American company.
But please, don't make it sound like our patriotic duty to support a company like Microsoft, that has taken advantage in its monopoly in other areas like few others before. I certainly don't want this to happen.
Besides, it might be the (mostly) Japanese game developers who decide the war of the consoles by supporting them.

Also I live in Sweden/Europe,
Eh? Not Sweden/Africa?

Does America count as a threat?
Well, if Bush thinks there might be terrorists, be afraid (so don't tell him about the IRA!).
You know, preemptive strikes against "possible threats" are official policy now.
But we can't go back on our words!
It will be "Zelda begins". Really.
Because this is a democracy, where majority rules.
Education is not a democracy. Parents have never been allowed to decide what their children are taught. And with reason.
99% of net is just pr0n anyways
No. Unfortunately not. There's tons of other stuff on it distracting you from finding good old pr0n.
FYI, in Spain it's called "expreso"

Yes, Tomb Raider 7, and it's coming: Tomb Raider Legends.
No. Of course it will be: Tomb Raider begins.

{about Nintendo}: failure to cater to any audience above 13
I'm 31 and I love my Gamecube.
And I don't think sex minigames attract a really "mature audience". For sex, I have a girlfriend.
That's no satellite, it's a giant flying BattleMech (hey, they're Japanese).
You can't compare a movie to an MMORPG. A movie is two hours. The average MMORPG player spends 20 hours a week for years at at a time.
Of course it's not the same. But if people pay other people to skip parts of it, there is something wrong.
So what has the shuttle discovered? And is it good this discovery has landed safely?
If you think so, can we really call it green if its full of bacterias?
And when you turn on the power, you fry millions of innocent, helpful little creatures?
That's easy. To get to the fun part!
Firs I must say: I have never played WoW or any other MMORPG.
But I find it sad that some parts seem to be so un-fun that people pay real money in order to avoid them.

Put this story in the time machine and send it to 5 years ago when it would've been news.
I still think this "Internet"-thing might be the next big thing. Believe me, there is potential.
And his attempted assassination of a former U.S. president.
Really? I don't remember anything like that happening. When was that?
This is the first time US vs Japan instead of Japan vs Japan at the start of the gate.
