I'm sure you'd much prefer adult games like GTA, Manhunt, or Killswitch. Cause a game isn't innovative or adult unless there's swearing, blood, and murder involved.
Now, for a portable? I like me some puzzle games, mini games, and RTS games.
So that's going to get covered REAL fast by Nintendo.
Drill Spirits, Wario Ware DS, and Advance Wars DS.
You can have your long load times for a fighting game, that's fine by me.
My conditions for getting a PSP? 6 hour minimum battery life for any settings (they've said firmware upgrades can get this there.), good game line up (the japanese lineup had 2 games in it I would even consider getting, and those were (meh) games at best IMO, and finally, innovative games. Last thing I need is a rehash of GTA, MGS, or some other craptacular port of a PS2 game on a handheld. Unless they want to port SEGA games that is... I'll take Crazy Taxi, REZ, and Sonic Adventure pls.
I honestly can't believe that they're shipping this thing to retail with an average 2 hour battery life.
Even the Game Gear got 4 hours standard and the TG Express got 6.
Sony can't possibly expect people to be OKAY with 2 hours. What person is going to use a PORTABLE gaming system when they have to return in 2 hours time to recharge the battery? They can claim firmware revisions all they want, but the power consumption can't possibly budge that much.
I guess I'd take it all better if I knew that they had a rechargable 6-8 hour battery on the market.
I'd look at it like buying a camcorder then. You get a stock battery (1-2 hours) and then you get better ones (6-10 hours). If Sony goes that route, I'd probably be okay with it if the high end batteries were under $80.
The biggest difference here is that this is NOT a camera. It's a game system. Cameras do intermittent on/off phases as you record when you want. A game system is likely to be on for a good stretch of 30-45 minutes at a time. Longer on a road trip/plane.
Why it's my middle finger! Feel free to use it to cancel some other show, or hell, use it on Judgement Day. It's easily taller than Tommy, so swap it out as host. And it carries his exact same opinion of all games. Or the best possible use? Go F_ _K yourselves.
Saving TTv's Digital Digs contests as the only import won't save your ratings. A $25K prize giveaway at Circuit City (why not frys?) is a financial sinkhole if you don't have watchable shows to air alongside it.
Well, if DirecTV had a way to drop basic channels, this would be gone from my lineup. As it is now, I'll just delete the channel from my listings so I won't have to be bothered with the likes of Cheat or G4TV.com
I continue to spend my dollars at Best Buy. As long as they keep giving rebates and offering the stuff they do, I'll shop there, and abuse the system whenever possible.
I shop with my ipod on, ignoring the blue shirts.
I skip on the extended warranties.
I read about my purchases in advance.
(they lied to me about inventory on a HDTV I wanted when I came in looking for a specific model.)
I recheck what they tell me against their visible inventory.
I'll steal their (ONLY) commission sales. When they have someone making a big ticket purchase that's obviously wrong for them, I'll correct ANY employee I hear lying to them or misleading them.
I've gotten 3 BB customers to skip extended warranties from this. BB can't do a thing.
Now, I don't return merchandise when I don't have to, and now seeing a permanent 15% restock fee, I'll make sure my dollar is NEVER wasted there.
Thank you Best Buy. I accept your challenge.
Okay, lord of the Flies then... Raise the Red Lantern. Great Expectations?
My point's that there's people who have said a great many powerful things to inspire or convince people of a greater good. And not many of the ones that stand the test of time involved dropping racial slurs or having a Eazy-E knockoff constantly puff a joint like it's an oxygen tank, while making their point.
That said, it's still a good game, but for different reasons for me I suppose.
After reading some of the posts on here regarding the game's launch, it's readily evident that the people who post here, have at least mastered not using 4aX0R 5p33k in a post. If you don't believe me, go look at the forum for this game on Gamefaqs... You'd never guess that mods sit on that thing.
There's a variety of posts, including users who don't believe that people get review copies of games, others that believe the game destroys PS2's, and polls asking how late someone will stay up tonight playing it. Really engaging conversations.
All I was wanting last night was some help on the game, and all I got was a lousy flame.
"This is a natural and creative extension of G4techTV's video game expertise."
I'm sorry... With their near 20 hours of poorly made video game shows...
Does the above qualify as expertise? To show a video game on TV for a whole season?
My guess is that this lasts only as long as the lockout does. And if the whole season gets tossed, this doesn't make it past Xmas.
Does this mean I'm a movie expert by the extension that I see lots of movies? Or that a fat person is a food conniseur? Or that habitual speeder with a clean accident record is ready for NASCAR?
Well then. If I'm a blithering idiot and I live in LA, I must work for G4TechTV, too...
I'm a regular attendee of the Drafthouse here in Houston, and I really don't care too much for the Mr. Sinus bit.
I thought I'd like it, and they did a good job with Lost Boys, but I haven't liked it as much since then.
It's just not as well tuned as MST3K. I know it's only 3 guys, but they've seen these movies as much or more than the MST guys did and you'd think they'd have rewritten some jokes or made them play out better, but instead...
It's just a rehash of tired obvious jokes, drinking games, and a sketch where John (the bald guy) ends up nearly naked. Wash, rinse, repeat...
They're tied to it, since it's a live format, but I just am not getting as into it as I first did with the promise of a Live MST-style show.
I do like the Alamo, and hopefully they'll adapt it to another name just as well, because it's a good draw for them, and I don't want the Alamo going anywhere anytime soon.

What do IBC root beer and Tostadas have to do with anything?
Okay...
If they're standing in line for a PSP they don't have women.
So... there you go.
I'd rather a Kogal party if you don't mind...
Now that we're in the Nintendo Age of the DS, which features an LCD screen, be forewarned of Dead Pixels. They can and will happen.
I was at the post office with one of the games I was going to mail off to a friend until I noticed something.
I had stuck a postage stamp in the package and licked a DS game and stuck it to the envelope.
Raimi and Ash are what makes ED... Evil Dead.
To remove the possessed guiding hand (Raimi) and replace it with a chainsaw (??? New Director)...
This can't be good.
I wonder which of the following will appear?
Stars of the WB
Tree Rape
Necrinomicon
I think more of the former rather than the latter... ugh...

Let me just get adjusted here...

(Drops pants/drawers, bends over)
Go ahead. Tell me... IS it genuine?
Now, where's my free software?
I can smell the settlement already.
I'll take one copy of Halo 3 please.
Okay, lord of the Flies then...

>I would be willing to grant you that it is easier to evoke an emotional response with strong language then with strong arguments
You never read "To Kill a Mockingbird" then I suppose.

pwned by Romero himself...
Ouch.
I heard he's really neat and full of Turtle Meat.
I smell superman 3 in all this...
Hey, taking the RIAA approach. You know, labeling all your potential customers as theieves... It's kinda stupid.
I would highly advise you not mention something like that in public, or in an interview, cause it'll make your company look like assh... uh-oh...
(sigh)
Well, good luck!
