Once everyone hears this the typical life span will be expanded byond 1 thousand years and then medical science will dubble the maxamum life span once every 6 months.
I'm sure byond was a typo, but DUBBLE and MAXAMUM? Come on, people. Also, it's either "1,000" or "one thousand".
Every DS sold effectively increases the Advance's user base, which may work against Nintendo the same way the Atari 5200's 2600 compatibility worked against it.
Just like the PS2's backward compatibility worked against Sony. Wait...
Actually, none of those should have killed it. Want to know why? THEY ALL BLEW ASS. Especially N-Gage. Why's that? The games for them all blew ass. None of those handhelds could step to everyone's SNES favorites in portable form.
Animal Crossing has a fireworks show down by the lake between 7 and 9pm on the 4th of July, and I fucking missed it because my girlfriend wanted to see REAL fireworks. Goddamnit.
I love the incredibly deceptive title of this story. It's not even news that someone would be convicted for selling XBoxes preloaded with games on the hard drive, but what actually happened is twisted: "Man convicted for hacking XBox". He was convicted for selling games illegally, a la piracy. Someone realized this wasn't even a story and decided to bank on the Slashdot group mentality of hacking freedom (which I agree with by the way) to get readers.
..."the GI staff received so many votes as a group (especially from game developers)"...
The reason Game Informer got so many votes from developers is because they inflate their scores on a ridiculous level. A mediocre game will get an 8 with GI, great (but not the best) games will almost always get a 9.75 or 10. Their scale is essentially from 7 to 10, which doesn't really allow me to trust them. Don't get me wrong, I love reading GI, they're funny guys, I just won't go out and buy a game just because it got a 9 from them.
See my reply to the other guy who misinterpreted me in this thread. Nice name by the way, tell me, do you agree with me that Mega Man 3 is the best (of the originals)?
Related story: I was watching Fight Club with my girlfriend a couple days ago, and she only saw one of the four or five times Tyler Durden flashes in for a few frames in the opening scenes. I couldn't believe it because they were so obvious to me, but I guess it's because I play a lot of games; she doesn't.
My ex saw me playing Vice City once long ago and just commented that it "looked funny" sometimes, referring to the framerate drops below 20 or so.
Coincidence that these were both women? Who knows ; )
The Radeon 9600 Pro was released as a mid-level card, and MSRP was $199.99, meaning buying from someplace like Newegg would have made it even cheaper than that.. certainly you jest.
If you didn't notice, in Metroid Prime games, when you jump (more noticeable when you double-jump), the camera points down slightly and you can see where you're jumping. Of course, this wouldn't work on a PC game such as Half-Life, where you have constant control of the view, since it would pull it away from you. Hence, others' arguments that it's the type of game (Metroid Prime not being a real "FPS" and therefore having a different control scheme) are correct.
The exact same button configuration has been around since Playstation was released in 1995, and again with PS2 in 2000. TEN YEARS. And we're talking the two bestselling consoles, with the most games, of the last decade. If you haven't learned it by now, just play for like an hour. The shapes also color-coded, so there's two ways to remember.
I actually did consider putting "(unless you're canadian)" in my post, heh heh. But yeah $30/50$ extra is bullshit, I personally use my PS2 (although I only watch DVDs occasionally).

But you hold the mouse turned 90 degrees CCW, so the top button is left click (A), and the bottom button is right (B).
I'm sure byond was a typo, but DUBBLE and MAXAMUM? Come on, people. Also, it's either "1,000" or "one thousand".
You could buy the games used, then they'd get no more money..

And with one button it takes you about a second longer to bring up a contextual menu! HA!

On expert, down to the VERY LAST TWO SQUARES and I picked the wrong one. Goddamnit.
The vibrations of the mixer don't fuck with the drive?

I was actually referring to the fact that the best games for GBA are SNES re-releases, not actual emulation.. I should have winked
Don't we have Game Boy Advance for that already?
And while you're waiting, I'll have fun when I play my games!

Exactly.. the cardboard boxes collapsing in Half-Life 2 were cool, but not nearly as satisfying/entertaining as the crates breaking.
Hey, remember when you were calling that guy retarded?
The Radeon 9600 Pro was released as a mid-level card, and MSRP was $199.99, meaning buying from someplace like Newegg would have made it even cheaper than that.. certainly you jest.
Then why is it that most anyone can very easily tell the difference between 25 and 60 frames per second?

Perhaps he meant "sack of Mentos", "shack with Leno", or "scrawny Hindu"...

I read that as "Wouldn't the bullshit when traveling at such speeds" ... Maybe the 8 hours of San Andreas today were too much. Bedtime.
