Ahhh - CMS.
I worked there as a contractor in late 2000.
On my first day, my "boss" didn't know there was a new person starting. Off to a bad start. The manager was out for maternity leave and wouldn't tell anyone when she was coming back. So they got a replacement manager. And he quit. So they got a replacement for the replacement manager - my boss. He was the most clueless of men I have ever had the luxury of working under. He would doze off at his desk multiple times during the day and occasionally wake up to say something stupid.
The rest of the team - a halfway decent tech; an older gentleman who was dirtier than most of the bums out in front of the building; and a nice young asian guy who I avoided since he was at least one year from what would be considered "basic conversational english".
I was young(er) and (much more) arrogant back then so after enough times of telling my boss to wake up and stop being a complete idiot, he was given permission to give me the boot.
The good old days. I did about 2-5 hours of actual work a week and it was the most money I had ever made at the time. Actually, adjusted for inflation, it probably still is the most money I ever made. Ahhh - if only I had learned to keep my mouth shut and collect my paycheck. I'm getting much better at that.
The life of an apathetic contractor.

Can you play Crystal Chronicles co-op with just a Gamecube or do you need some GBAs also?
I'm a Square fan and I've thought about getting that game already and if we can play co-op then it's as good as purchased. But I'm not shelling out dough for two GBAs just to fully play the game.

I guess my girlfriend isn't girly enough for 1up's list - the only thing on there she likes is Katamari.
Her co-op favorites:
GC - Phantasy Star Online
PC - Diablo
PS2 - Baldurs Gate, Champions of Norrath.
Shrek 2 is suprisingly a decent co-op game too.
Cookies and Cream is an old good co-op game for PS2 - but it's for hardcore puzzle/action fans only - that game is HARD!
Since she is musically inclined, she really got into Amplitude (single player) although she didn't like Frequency.
Well, in Firefox, if you type in a URL without a domain (.com,.net, etc.), it will search Google and give you the top result. The top result for "http" is Microsoft.
It will do that for any gobbledegook you type in.
