I think you got jupped. I remember seeing a brand new copy of Super Mario RPG in Sears for nearly eighty dollars eight years after it came out. I imagine that had to do with the fact that it wasn't selling though. I don't remember any game that I bought being more than $55 + tax for either SNES or N64.
You have to show ID in amny cases, (though computers don't care) so wouldn't using someone else's info look a bit suspicious. "Yes I'm Jane Doe!" "uh sir..." It seems there still that barrier no?
I sure hope we're not "plugged in". A lot of companies are investing in some new technology called wireless or something. It may just be the wave of the future!
You are precisely correct, right clikcing and clicking in general belongs on a mouse. Ctrl-clicking however, is a joint process one that doen't take much effort or intelligence to use. It's especially nice for those of us who would like to eliminate the mouse. GO KEYBOARDS!
I say it's a necessity to have not to use. The GC has a broadband adapter which is great should an online gaming boom suddenly occur. As you said the GC is beating out XBox in JP, and it is not a very good online system.
Actually there is the Panasonic Q which is a gc with a very nice list of features. It's silver with a small blue lcd display for disc info, lit up controller ports, and a very nice panasonic DVD player/Gamcube. Granted it's quite a bit more expensive; it still is a nice package that rounds out the GC.
As for their business model; Nintendo could use some improvement. Online play is an absolute necessity these days as is a variety of genres. Though with ports like XIII and Crystal Chronicles, their genre dilemas are wearing thin.
I am not Catholic either so my comments may be invalid, but I would think that that church is more than just a "good place" for free therapy. There's a community in the church that is built by attendees. Beyond community there is growth. Believing you know everything you need to, or something similar to that is a little disturbing to me. There's always room for more info, and new ideas arise from that. Your comment about church as an organization I gather as more of an observation. It should represent God and qualities associated, but these things called people tend to get in the way a lot. The Catholic church I'm sure, functions differently than I would imagine, but I thought I would at least bring them up./. is not a great place to have religious discussion inasmuchas a block of text is much less expressive than a conversation.
I think this is one of those things where you've got to drag people kicking and screaming into compliance. Don't make things worse by continuing to support stupid/invalid... anything. If you force people they'll conform or quit. Won't it be good either way?
Let's face it, like any other piece of tech; no matter how much of a convenience it really is, people will think it sucks for years to come. Then after a period of time, everyone will catch on to the fact that it really is a good idea, yet no one will acknowledge they thought it to be the stupidest idea since a jump to conclusions mat.

It is only recently that people have been concerned with what exactly they are buying in the sense of content or media. In the past you bought something, if it had a warranty you could get it fixed, but if it didn't you had to buy a new one. Now people are wondering am I buying a cd with someone's content on it, the content or what. Personally I would really appreciate some distinction (possibly in the form of legislation) as to what people are getting. I would love to know that I am buying a license. I could care less how I get it as long as I get it(in a usable fromat).
The wavebird is an excellent controller. I've replaced the batteries twice in the year and a half I have owned it. I haven't noticed any lag or interference yet. I haven't used wireless for any other system, but if it was like the wavebird, I'm sure they'd be used over wired controllers.
A friend of mine was able to kick his addictions by going to the gym. Though all he did was workout work, and not much else, but it seems to be able to help.
On another note, I'm toying with the idea of cutting back on caffeine, but I only drink 2 sodas a day most days. I usually drink about that much water as well. Is there really any incentive for me to give it up? I wouldn't say I'm addicted per se, I sometimes get headches without caffeine, but I have been known to go for days without it and had no effects whatsoever.
Links? Names? Anything that may resemble something more assuring than a statement that you talked to "some people in the know"? These would make for a more interesting discussion would they not?
The point is something encountered a harmonious (according to popular ideas) number. It doesn't matter that it is utterly insignificant other than it is now 100 years from the beginning of the Mac age. Yay for seemingly important numbers!
Why only current games and consoles? I'd go for a copy of every game and every console. You've got an unlimited budget. Though the guy in the article seemed to forget that (he only spent 42k).

...you really would have to hold the thing up against your skull
So.. how would you avoid shaving your head and not bringing the device in contact with your skull?

Bad semantics. Please insert a comma or other separative mark to indicate that ports like XIII are great games, as is the new (not ported) FFCC.
Coffee......

People to play the game, something to do, support for Safari, and some NPCs.
And all this time... I had to hear about how Sony is better than Nintendo, yet I still have a functional NES. Backwar-whaty?
Capitalism practicing communists? ...

When?
42 of course!

How the heck do you click with no mouse?

Be careful with Mad Catz, I've used some of their products (for N64) and they sucked. They stop working properly after about two months at best.
If he's gonna buy a comp, he should get a mac. You can install osx on some pretty old machines. iChat av has all you need for chat services.
