As bad as that is, it's nothing compared to what I saw when I was in Japan. Nearly every arcade game there was ¥100 minimum, with some games costingup to ¥300 for a single play.
If you read the RTFPR, there's a little blurb at the bottom that explains:
ABOUT THE DARPA GRAND CHALLENGE DARPA has sponsored two previous Grand Challenge competitions. The first was held in March 2004 and featured a 142-mile desert course. Fifteen autonomous ground vehicles attempted the course and no vehicle finished. In the 2005 Grand Challenge, four autonomous vehicles successfully completed a 132-mile desert route under the required 10-hour limit, and DARPA awarded a $2 million prize to "Stanley" from Stanford University. The November 2007 Urban Challenge will feature autonomous ground vehicles executing simulated military supply missions safely and effectively while in a mock city environment, merging into moving traffic, navigating traffic circles, negotiating busy intersections and avoiding obstacles.
You'd have a more valid point if the Controllers didn't come with, at the minimum, the Nanchaku. I wouldn't be surprised if they shipped with the shell, too.
Nope, apparently if you actually read the EULA they threw in something about only being able to use Blizzard-approved mods in the future.. hang on...
"At such time that Blizzard elects to post a list of approved Third-Party User Interfaces on its website, you agree that you will use only those Third-Party User Interfacers approved by Blizzard, and that you will use no other Third-Party User Interfaces in connection with World of Warcraft."
But.. that's just it. I'm not sure about the XBox 360 as I have exactly 0 interest in it, but the PS3 and Nintendo Revolution will both be backwards-compatible, apparently all back to the console's origin.
The last good NFS was Hot Pursuit 2. Underground was alright, but Underground 2 was just the same damn thing over again except you then had to spend time driving around to find races.
An afternoon at a friend's was all I needed to know I could miss it.
From what I've read, basically they did the first book, publisher refused to pay them, demanded they produce another in black and white, and they said fuck you.
But the publisher still owns the printing rights. Dunno if that's still true.
As far as I know, none has been spotted yet =|.
Kent Paul started up like, 3 1/2 months before the game came out (I think they started it July 1st, 2002).
Generally at my local Gamestop new games go for $50, not counting stuff like FFXI which comes with the HDD and so is $100, or the Socom 2 that ships with the headset, which was something like $60?
But for just the game it's usually just $50.

Fuck! You had to go and do it, asshole, didn't you?

Furi Kuri was an OVA, and that was complete and utter crap, right?
Oh wait...
That audio is not actually from WoW, from what I've heard it's actually Ultima Online.

Yep, and the same horde assholes who think 5 level 60's versus a level 42 is a fair fight will also find it frustrating.

Blast! You beat me to it!
And, as others pointed out, you forgot the "New Age Retro Hippy" and the entire Happy Happy cult!
Too late.. that place is constantly being raided by the horde =(.
Neutral city my ass.

Gee.. I dunno.. Maybe clicking the thing that says SOUNDTRACK at the top of the page? Just a thought...

...yeah. Look out behind you! A three headed monkey!
Forgive me if I'm wrong (And I'm not), but isn't Rockstar North, the developers of the Grand Theft Auto series based in the UK?
Dunno if it's a straight port or what, but Blizzard released Rock and Roll Racing for the GBA a year or so ago, maybe more.
In his defence, his voice never got on my nerves ;-)
Ironically, Acclaim's name is all over Spiderman 2 ;-).
Sorry, looks like it expired on me >_. Try now. scootsmcgee@hotmail.com
Haven't gotten mine =|. Guess hotmail hates me or something.

I seem to remember it making an appearance in one of the Hitman games for PC.
