My OCD side loved collecting all the upgrades and emails.
I didn't like the fighting aspect so much as the exploration side of the game. I spent so much time searching for build points and upgrades that the game was over before I wanted it to be.
Disc fighting was a lot of fun for me too.
Oh, and I thought the 'active memory powerup' stuff was pretty innovative. I hadn't seen a design quite like that before.
If the people involved in making that game were involved in making a movie based off this title, I'd be okay with it.
The quality of this game is the _only_ thing that doesn't make me abandon all hope for this project.
I liked how the game incorporated newer technology ideas that weren't around back then, yet stayed truthful to the Tron universe.
The bit that does worry me is the mention of wanting to appeal to a younger audience. I really hope they don't dumb it down, or add some goofy sidekick product-tie in character. I wish Disney could make animated films without demanding that at least one character is there to hold the attention of toddlers.
I'd love to see a greenhouse sort of building, if they have to keep it inside one.
The one at KSC is quite nice, and serves as a major exhibit on the tour. This looks like an extra large shack.
I hate it hate it hate it hate it.
Who do I have to write about this? It's times like these that I wish I paid attention in government class so I'd know if I had a senator or house of commons representative or something I could write to.
Games have always been a 'risk versus reward' situation. The 'good' stuff is always behind the harder enemy, the bigger jump, the tougher puzzles.
That's where the fun comes from; surviving the risk to get the reward.
Wandering around getting the rewards with no risk doesn't sound exciting. Reading books and painting pictures aren't exciting. They may be enjoyable and rewarding activities, but not notably exciting, IMO.
I absolutely hate the horrendous structure they've erected around the rocket.
For those who haven't seen it, the thing looks like a massive white corrugated metal shed. Tiny little windows, no features, just a huge white cheap looking building.
I hope to God that this is temporary while they fix it up. I heard they needed to dry it out before working on it, so I'm hoping this was just a quick way to enclose it.
"You start out pretty much in a grassy field making bricks and gathring wood."
I see the makings of an extradornary strategy guide:
Step 1. Wander around making bricks.
Step 2. Get some wood.
Step 3. Wake up.
Step 4. Fend off family members mistaking your current state for 'comatose'.
Without combat, how can there be any risk involved? At least with other games, gathering involves some kind of risk. Fend off the enemies so you can grab your stuff.
Without that, what's the point?
My company flies me back and forth to Moscow Russia a few times a year. I never see these plugs in coach class. (They send me on Delta, btw.)
I was upgraded to Business class once, and saw the plugs there. However, these weren't standard outlets, and required a special adapter. This wasn't a nationality issue; there was a special airplane plug of some sort. The guy next to me had a laptop & portable DVD player, both of which died on the 14 hour flight because he didn't have this special adapter.
And to the poster who says it's only the cost of a meal to upgrade: try upgrading an international flight. It's a bit more than that. The only time I was upgraded was when I was forced to stay the night in NY due to Delta's mistake. My company wouldn't ever spring for it, due to the cost.
I'm not happy with it. 5 hours isn't that great. I use my GBA SP for long plane trips... At that rate, the PSP rate will get me about 1/3 of the way there.
I've had a single charge on the SP take me the entire trip. I don't want to carry batteries everywhere I go, along with a charger... (I guess that satisfies your assumption about mentioning the fact that Nintendo's battery life is better, but it's true...)
I'll reserve my complete judgement on the unit until I see it for myself, but this issue is certainly not painting it in a very favorable light.
After having a Tivo for the past year, using this box feels like being stabbed in the face...
You can't search for shows very easily, if at all... The series subscription interface is horribly featureless... It doesn't give a darn about what you like, and certainly won't offer any suggestions of what you might like.
Configuration menus are strewn about several different sections, accessable from lots of specalized buttons. TiVo's interface and menus are like a massage by comparison.
If only the Tivo would record HD from cable.
I do like having the cable box, HD convertor, and DVR in one single box, though.
But for the time being, I'm going to let TiVo record to its heart's content. IMO, nothing will ever surpass TiVo in perfection of interface... TiVo 4 evar!!!
The Atlas (which, as you mention, isn't available yet) might be capable of lifting that much weight, but it's not going to replace the capabilities that the STS was intended to provide. During this downtime, the STS has been sorely missed, and our reliance on the Russians for access to the station is causing more than just a few problems.
Just using the Atlas as a lifter isn't going to replace the Shuttle.
And then we flush all the commitments we've made to the ISS program completely down the toilet.
The STS program is the heavy lifter for ISS modules. Without that, you can pretty much write off the entire project... And the US isn't the only country with an investment into the project.
Nothing like an overreaction to get folks upset...
"Hurricane Frances may end NASA's space shuttle program."
Please. Even if the orbiters were damaged, or the launch platforms damaged, they can always be re-built, repaired, or whatever.
Even if it looks like the eye will hit KSC dead-on, they've still got enough time to stick an orbiter on the 747 and get one of them out of there...
Besides, the launch structures withstand regular beatings from the shuttle launches, and they've survived for years... The VAB might take some damage, perhaps some of the other support buildings, but it's going to take more than a hurricane to destroy KSC & the shuttle program completely.

Here's an ISS status report that mentions it.

Good ideas! Gravemoss? Really? Very interesting..
I've seen it in the Auction House in IronForge.
Hey, that bounty idea is a good one.
;)
How is it working out for ya?
I'm on Mylagos, so I won't steal any of your customers.
I'm loving alchemy... I'm frequently making 'gardening' runs to make pots for my guild. Selling herbs by bounty sounds like a very cool idea.
How do you advertise this?

It's more like hearing a whisper across a huge crowded stadium.
The listener had really good ears and was able to pick out the code from a lot of background noise, with a really good antenna setup.
I, for one, welcome our new mechanical overlords.
