  1. Re:Indigo Prophecy on Games Can Make Us Cry · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that was actually what I was playing. There were two different (and pretty graphic with the positions) sex scenes in it when I played through and another movie scene in the bonus section where one of the characters strips her clothes off in a strip tease. During the second in game sex scene the moaning was a little distracting. Not for Americans...it makes hot coffee seem a little tame I think.

  3. Indigo Prophecy on Games Can Make Us Cry · · Score: 1

    Check out this game if you get the chance. It should be out for PS2, Xbox and PC now. It does a good job of pulling you in with the story and I actually cared about what happened to the characters. It isn't the hardest game in the world and it's different than most games (think Shenmue style) but fun enough. I think it's getting an average review of about 8.5

    I don't know why it got modded funny either. Maybe because put desert instead of dessert.

    Magical Wishes are like points you can use at Disney world to get stuff although the price of the wish usually ends up costing more than what you purchased with it. Like, you can use a Magical Wish to buy a hot dog...and you're really spending something like 30 bucks on it.

    Surf and Turf is lobster and steak. Lots of restaurants offer it. It was the most expensive thing on the menu and after getting the main course, appetizer, dessert and tip for me and my wife the bill was always about $115 for two people. That was the only way to make out ahead with the Magical Wishes.

    A Fast Pass is a machine at the beginning of most of the popular rides at Disney World. You slide your room key into this machine and it prints a ticket out for you with a specific time on it. You come back to the ride at that time and you go in a special line bumping you to the front without waiting. Very cool. We could work it out where we always had a ride waiting for us while we were in line at another/or eating or something.

    They keep a ton of information on those cards I think. I went to Disney World for my honeymoon and we were given 25 of those magical wishes. You could just take your room key to Planet Hollywood, Rain Forest Cafe or any of those places at Downtown Disney and tell them you wanted to use a magical wish for your meal. Then you could get anything on the menu as long as it was one appetizer one main course and one desert, tip was included. We ate surf and turf almost every night.

    It would also work if you were supposed to get free gifts with your trip and it worked for the fast pass machines (where it kept track of the last time you used a fast pass machine anywhere in the park).

  8. Re:Necessary data on What's On Your Hotel Keycard · · Score: 1

    I've read something about people doing this when they use a card swipe at a restaurant to get credit card information. They swipe the card with their PDA and a card reader to get the info. After that they use old hotel room keys or whatever magnetic cards they have access to and write the data to it. Then when they want to actually use the card at a gas station (pay at the pump) or wal-mart self checkout lane they pay using a hotel key card with stolen information on it. It works pretty well I guess because the original credit card was never stolen.

    At least that's what I've heard.

    Nintendo WILL be releasing some kind of shell, and even if Nintendo did not, some third party would within about two minutes.

    Which would satisfy the people that like to play fighting games but hate the way the Nintendo control is setup. An official Nintendo fighting shell with the standard 6 button setup like old school street fighter. That would be nice.

  12. Re:Lost Garden on Talking 'Bout A Revolution · · Score: 1

    I think the reason Nintendo did the update to Donkey Konga was the same reason all music/rhythm games do it, to add additional music.

    Look at Konami or Namco. In Japan there are 8 versions of Taiko Drum Master for the PS2 and 11 versions of Beatmania for the Playstation and 8 versions of Beatmania IIDX for the PS2. It's all about the additional music and songs. Even in the US you can look at something like Karaoke Revolution or Dance Dance Revolution, they both have three versions for the PS2.

  13. Re:If that's failure sign me up on Plotting the Revolution's Arc · · Score: 1

    I found one top ten games of 2004 list at Kotaku http://kotaku.com/gaming/business/top-ten-games-in -sales-for-2004-029995.php

    PS2 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
    XBX Halo 2
    PS2 Madden NFL 2005
    PS2 ESPN NFL 2K5
    PS2 Need For Speed: Underground 2
    GBA Pokemon Fire Red W/ Adapter
    PS2 NBA Live 2005
    PS2 Spider-Man: The Movie 2
    XBX Halo
    PS2 ESPN NFL 2K5

    While none of those top ten sold were Gamecube versions you could still purchase Madden NFL 2005, Need For Speed: Underground 2, NBA Live 2005, Spider-Man: The Movie 2 and ESPN NFL 2K5 to play them on a Gamecube...and one game was GBA only.

    So 5 out of the top ten games sold in 2004 could be played on the Gamecube.

    On a side note, I think that if any console deserved a port of Irritating Stick [gamestats.com] it would be the Revolution. Yeah, laugh now but when it actually happens...

    I bet it would be a port of Kuru Kuru Kururin instead. I do expect it to happen though.

    Here is your report on a Mike Tyson fight:

    Mike Tyson Has Been Defeated
    Author: Dominicp2i on Sunday, June 09 @ 01:10:03 EDT

    My personal wait of over 10 years for this fight between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson has finally come and gone.

    Lennox Lewis started out the fight with some dirty tactics and holding, and Mike Tyson held his ground in a fight that was not meant for him to win. Mike Tyson took every punch and hold and stayed right with Lennox till the end. Ultimately Lewis' height and reach advantage would prove to be just too much for "Iron Mike" to overcome, especially at this point in his career.

    Not too many were behind Tyson, nor did most expect him to have even a chance at glory, but he proved tonight that he is a true champion and in the end just as heart felt and normal as the next guy. Graciously accepting his defeat, and bowing out to his opponents superior skill, Mike Tyson may have lost the fight but won the war.

    It was a great fight, with anticipation soaring, and in the end there can be only one... so from a Mike Tyson fan through and through: Congratulations Lennox Lewis.

  22. Re:If you haven't noticed. on DS Game Port Wishlist · · Score: 1

    I read through what the parent was talking about and I had a reply written out as well but after reviewing it again I think he was trying to say that he was done playing the game in the second hour. Not that he "beat" the game in the second hour. He seems to know that you can only play in 3 competitions per day and for him that is the actual game part. Since playing through those three competitions a day doesn't take much time he was only getting maybe 15 minutes or so out of the game during the day.

    I could be wrong but after giving it a re-read that is what I get out of it.
