Clearly, in the US, which is the biggest gaming market in the world, the most popular form of racing is either NASCAR or illegal street racing. Deffinatley not F1. Days of Thunder was much more popular than Driven. Of course that might have something to do with the acting...and the writing...and the plot.
I guess this F1 license just doesn't seem as much of a coup to me as, say, the NBA license. I mean, that's like ABC gloating over exclusive MLS rights...woo-hoo!
Let
x = sales in 2000
if sales went up 30% in 2001, then...
x + 0.3x = 1.3x = sales in 2001
and if sales went down 20% this year, then...
1.3x - 0.2*(1.3x) = 1.04x = sales in 2002
therefore, that means sales over all went up, since 1.04x > x, 4% since 2000. Or I could be crazy.
I have an import copy of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the Dreamcast. The point system used to buy hidden features in the games requires you not only have network points, but versus points as well. The versus points come from plugging your VMU to an Arcade version of the game and fighting other players there. Much to my chagrine, I would have to fly to Japan to fully unlock my games. Is there anything like that here in the states? Not that I know of. Just one of those little details that make things fun. Plus, its a link between the home market and the arcade market that does not come off as cheap and gimmicky.
I always thought MDK was a great title. The artwork was different from anything I had ever seen before. I liked just running around looking at stuff. That was a very interesting glider/parachute/set of wings that popped out of his back, too.
If blatant is offensively obvious, would not blantantly mean offensively obviously? And there for blatantly obvious would just mean offensively, obviously obvious?
Of course this is still redundantly repeating oneself.
There was a story on slashdot here about the decay of Saturday morning cartoon viewership. I do not know about the current generation of gamers, but hopefully he next will not be a olave to such things due to this trend. There are so many other things to do with a sunny afternoon. Now, at 1:00 AM, Star Wars Galaxies sounds perfect.
Hacking a Dremcast is an excellent idea.
1) Its easy to program for.
B) It uses produceable media (CDs)
iii) There are a ton of sites that talk about it and have how-tos (google it, I'm not your Mom)
delta) The Dreamcast has a ton of hardware you can practice supporting.
and lastly, its an established system that has produced some awesome games (Shenmue?)
I'm cutting my teeth on it as a hobby now.
Only Paltry from a certain point of view. Remember, you can span GCN disks with no problem. The whole mini-DVD thing was for the developers anyway, a propreitary DISK format. I still wish the Panasonic version that was the full DVD player had been relased in the US.
I personally would feel cheated if I ever found out my parents had genetically engineered my talents. How would I ever know if my accomplishments were mine or just the result of artificially added amino acids and flavors? I personally take pride in the hard work I, as a norm, have done to get me where I am today...posting on a message board...: -/

I put it akin to a large company trying to copyright clicking on a mouse.
How about copyrighting a video on demand system. Check that, video on demand period using block diagrams and know concrete technical system.
Which blows be away, since all the TWC video on demand content available must be based on Technology From the Future!!!
Which would completely rock, 'cept that implies Micorsoft invented time travel and has the copyright to that, too.

Building leverage my right index finger. THAT is terrorism!
What rock have I been hiding under!?! When did Nintendo announce a Broadband Adapter?!? Must go Google!!!

Hell, its worth a try.
