Firstly, you're an ignorant racist idiot that should be dragged out to the street and shot for having such an opinion.
Second, it's spelled "Miscegenation". So don't ever try to use expensive words that you can't spell, even on Slashdot.:P ---- this is me sticking my tongue out to you
I'm not ignoring anything, Urutsokidoji was the first anime that was commercially exploited in the Netherlands, I don't know which one was first in the US though.
My beef with Urutsokidoji is that IMHO it wasn't a good introduction of anime to the masses since it wasn't representative of "normal" anime.
I "jumped" to that "conclusion" because I have a lot of experience with the Japanese culture.
I was even on the board of a dutch foundation to promote the japanese culture in the Netherlands.
After seeing a lot of stuff the Japanese like and after seeing a lot of stuff the Thai people like, their tastes aren't all that different.
I'm not a racist in any way, if you read on, I have a Thai girlfriend. and FYI, my brother-in-law is from the Hindu (sp?) persuasion and my brother had an American girlfriend whom I still talk to and get along with.
My apologies if you misunderstood me though.
Yes, there are some anime that have tentacle rape in there, those anime are for the fetishists (sp?) that like that stuff. It's sad that one of the first anime to come out of japan was Urutsokidoji - Legend of the Overfiend. It was released in the UK and the Netherlands under the Manga label and after a lot of people saw that, they thought "WE MUST PROTECT THE CHILDREN FROM THIS CRAP". I think this is a shame because there is so much GOOD anime out there in all genres.

Well, you get the idea. And it just now dawned on me that you were probably trolling. Ah well, I got to write a nice piece anyway:)
Personally, I loved the first 3-4 levels of the game, going into bullet time mode and kicking the living bejezus out of the people, but I also see that they could have done a LOT better. The only thing the game REALLY had going for it was the story, but as a wise man once said, a game can't be good unless it has good gameplay.
I've been to Thailand a few times and since I don't expect the taste in games to be that much different from Japan's I'll add my 2 cents here.
In Thailand, there are a LOT of internetcafes, almost every streetcorner (and a lot of stores between them) have them. Last time I went (may '03) the game of the day was Ragnarok Online. It was almost the only game I saw being played there. The other game I saw being played there was C&C Generals. The game my gf (yup she's thai, in case you're wondering) was/is playing is Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. In all the time I've been there, the only FPS being played there (in a mall, some comps set up as a lan with broadband access) is Halflife Counterstrike, but I don't think that one really counts since it has had a long enough time to get there.
Back 2 UT2K4 I go, my FPS of choice at the moment.
Me too, and I bought the same, except for Unreal 2, in my opinion, that one wasn't that good (except for the best boobies in a mainstream game I have seen sofar, she beats Lara Croft hands down)

I really hope they can get some marketshare back, MS Office deserves the competition.
It might even spur MS to really innovate again.
I finished Max Payne 1 & 2, still have to play PoP though.
But my personal shortlived fascination with EtM was the whole setting, the weird fighting, the story, etc.
I agree that the game was poorly made, they could indeed have used more time.

I'm not talking about cultural similarities, I'm talking about gaming taste similarities.
You're absolutely right, how could I have forgotten the great works from the Ghibli (sp?) studio?

It was dirt cheap to begin with, all the prices went down for years.
Personally I don't really see it happening, raising the prices like that.
So does Pike.
Kind of a pacifist.
:)
I don't initiate a fight, try to avoid them, but will defend myself or my loved ones if needed.
I hope that clears that up
Will this also be available to the general public (possibly in a dumbed down version)?
If so, will "terrorists" be able to learn from this as well, to see how the US soldier gets trained?
Personally, I'm interested, could be a fun game, IMHO there's nothing wrong with virtual killing (in RL I'm kind of a pacifist)
Actually, I was earlier (don't know about first)

So now after angering MS, they are waking up the undead lawyers from Apple?
I wish them the best of luck, they'll need it.
Sure, but after that I'd just change the password ASAP!
But since I can't be, I'll have to make do with the different webcomics that do go there (like Penny Arcade and their dancing robot)

We're not all linux users here man, chill.
"because it requires > 1GB worth of stuff to be downloaded first." (about UT2004)
Or you could buy the game, I did and I haven't regretted it for 1 second.
That's the joke :P
Why not make a list of the people who are NOT on the plane ??
