I loved FM3, doubly so because I've grown sick and tired of the fantasy genre.
The silly simultaneous move system in Vandal Hearts 2 meant every battle was mostly characters running around each other in circles. Maybe I was just playing it wrong.
The original coders are probably emplyed by the same Korean company that made the hardware. I guess Netgear only get a limited "customisation kit" so they can put in their own name and change the backdoor password - but not completely disable it.
If you prefer leaf-switch buttons I would suggest the "official" Dreamcast arcade stick and a suitable adapter. It has only six buttons (plus start) but that's enough for the majority of games.
Personally I use an Asciiware Playstation stick, which has eight buttons plus start and select. The buttons use pretty nasty bubble switches, but I prefer it over the Dreamcast one because the stick has a longer shaft and a slightly smaller ball that fits better into my small, girlish hands.
Some people were guessing the problem is due to the 2.6 kernel reporting a different geometry from 2.4 and the tools not being updated to correct for this. I know that even though I didn't repartition, after installing FC2 over my FC1 installation the start and end cylinders reported by fdisk -l are completely different.
You do have a point - the Games series had you enter your name on the keyboard before starting. The highscore save feature will naturally have to be cut and all simultaneous two-player events will be a lot less fun.
The DDK (driver development kit) however does ship with a compiler:
C:\WINDDK\2600>cl
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.00.9176 for 80x86

I haven't investigated too much, but together with the PSDK I could make working "Hello, World" apps. The DDK used to be a free download, but nowadays you must order it on a CD (or download it using your favourite p2p app).
Lots of old games had crippling bugs, most near the end of the game which presumably hadn't been tested as much. One famous example is Jet Set Willy which is impossible to complete due to bugs. Granted, bugs of these kind were more common on computers than consoles, but don't kid yourself into believing they never existed. Smaller bugs and glitches have of course never been at all uncommon.
The piece was as in-depth and well-written as all articles on "hardware news sites", ie. utter bollocks. The only thing missing was the overclocking performance graphs.
Go take a look at Bobbee Tec's engine, the Yeti3D engine, or Apex Designs' Payback. The Doom port wasn't very good, but it's not near the best the hardware has to offer.

It's kind of neat that Microsoft finally have something available for MMU-less devices too.

Again, neither Grandia nor Grandia 2 is a strategy RPG.

My thoughts exactly. All it needs is a Pipboy logo instead of the Half-Life one.
There was a patch in 2.6.6 that reverted to the old behaviour. Unfortunately FC2 uses a 2.6.5 kernel.

In Finland, the tooth fairy and Santa Claus are often used as examples of non-existent being regardless of your religious views.
Certainly reminded me of Transmeta hiring Linus Torvalds.
Windows 2000 does have built-in IPSec filters. It's not a one-click solution which may be why it's not mentioned so often.
By forcing them to get a legit copy of XP that can be updated, that's how.
At least around these parts, Grim Fandango is available in stores under LucasArt's "Classics" label.
In some places (eg. Russia and Arabic countries) tea is traditionally served in glasses.

It's a demoscene product, made by the group farbrausch.
Looking at the Warstory.net pages it's quite obvious they wanted to do a Band of Brothers game but couldn't get the license (or didn't try to).

Except for the GBAs, GP32s and PDAs out there.
How about an updated version of How to be a Complete Bastard?
Psygnosis became SCEE Studio Liverpool several years ago. They were part of Sony even before the name change.
