I've only been to the track once myself but my first time out (last weekend) I saw at Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (~2002?) run low 10's. The car looked completely stock. After the guy ran, the tech inspection guys were flipping out saying they had to have a chat with him since he didn't disclose he had something hidden in the car. He must have had NOS or something in the cabin...
exactly fucking right. most people I know that have x-box don't have the technical ability to even know where to start. they're going to make a absolute shit-ton on this game, no doubt. this is merely free advertising.
Yes, as foolish as it was. Honestly, who gives a corporation/company the right to put up ads anywhere they please? I have to look around at the ever-increasingly commercial world and shake my head. It doesn't have to come to this...
I also use UltraVNC and have multiple monitors. Funnily enough, I never have had issues to do with the monitors. My only issue with UltraVNC is if you start a session, then cancel it, it seems like you have to kill the client manually. This is going over windows-to-windows connection. Sometimes the server would also hang. A favourite bug of mine is when you connect and the client says everything's fine and dandy but no display ever pops up on the client's machine?? Crazy - but that happens only once in awhile and damn, it's fast!:D
Although I love eating those lame Accords, I must admit that when I see some dood in his Cooper "S" (special!!) I can't WAIT to hit the next set of lights. See you there!:D
Good call - and to go one better: Nano TX! I'm just waiting for these things to speed up a bit then drop it in whatever I feel like using for a case - maybe a SuperFamicom, Turbo-Grafx 16, or maybe even a beautiful Dreamcast!:D
Yeah, I'm tossin' out tons of buzz here, guy.:P Listen, I'm sure we all know that the seemingly impossible can unexpectedly turn probable before one's eyes. Sometimes it takes just a single vision. Just because you do not know how does not mean it cannot be done.
actually, you're right about the character deaths. now that i think back, i guess a lot of characters did die. hehe, never thought i'd be thinking back trying to remember details of a games i played so long ago. doing a quick memory-skim, i just remember FFIV as a nice feel-good game, FFVII just shocked me with aeris' death - guess it was the manner? dunno, maybe it just stuck with me as it was the first one with cg cutscenes and it wasn't just a bunch of pixels bumping into another set of pixels and then one of the sets falls over.;D
i've played the PS series as well - finished up to III but can't remember the major details besides II. PSIII was just a wedding show!:D Now if I remember correctly, i think there was a way to keep Nei alive!
well, you're close. Both FF1 and FF2 were not really like ultima, etc. as they've always been driven by a story. you do the dungeon because of the story - in ultima/D&D-style the dungeon was the story.
Yeah, well I was a little younger when I remember being captivated by the story. Surely it would be a little too simplistic for my taste nowadays...;)
About Palom and Porom, I had forgotten about their magical, mystical return!:D I agree, it was kinda cheese where they all come back and root for you but that was the FF way before FFVII when they took everyone by surprise and rocked Aeris!:D
In FFIV's defense, the japanese version actually had much more story in the spot you're talking about where the origins are suddenly sprung on you! I agree and remember playing through - it's so linear until you get the huge whale ship and then suddenly you're on the moon and then it's the end. *WtF?!!* There is supposed to be story in there but it wasn't translated in time. If you care, try playing through the FFIV japanese rom w/ the fan translation. I haven't but I've read about what happens in those plot moments (which is much quicker to fill in the bits without having to play through the friggin' game again!;D )

You're just lucky Beowulf isn't around anymore. He made short work of everything...

What right do they have to be polluting my vision with commercials?

or lack thereof! hehe... not even close ;D
AVG Antivirus is a good choice as well. I put it on all the machines that I pull from the apocalypse. :P ;D
there's no such thing as "Oh Canada". It's "O Canada", thanks.
Out with the old and in with the new! Where's my Mandrake people out there?! ;D

i just hope that it's not one of their "prove it to me" ideas. :(

btw, for some reason i had you marked as a friend so sorry about being sarcastic before.
big spendahh!!
way to make a special, once-in-a-lifetime event memorable! i'm sure she'll make you pay for it later...
will his shot be a blu-ray?? :P

In short: STFU; quit being a troll.
you may not be able to get through the encryption but how about around it...

oops, yes you're right, FFIII had the jobs, FFII was basically FFI.5 - my bad. :D

If they're truly hucksters, it's gonna be friggin' obvious at product launch date. Let the gamers sink them, not self-serving "journalism". *rolleyes*
