The Freestyle Kingz (lame southern rap group) did a freestyle over the super mario brothers theme that wasn't that bad. Though when it comes down to that, *I* could have made a freestyle over it...
The periodic table is useful in spotting trends in the elements. This table shows... no trends. It's just a loose grouping in a visual style resembling the periodic table.
For example, going across a row shows that Atomic Radius decreases while the Electron Affinity increases.
You can play it with a real dance pad, or just play it with your keyboard. I suspect you will not lose much weight if you play it with your keyboard, however.
After testing it out, I can assure you that the only result that experiment yielded was a smashed keyboard. Maybe I should have splurged and bought a mat.
The only bad part is when you fail a nine foot song because your mat didn't register a step or you were daydreaming, you have no controller to jump up and down on.
But having just completed a 2 hour stint of DDR, I can tell you that DDR can be a great workout. Put it on endless mode heavy, and you're playing one song after another without end, and you'll get plenty of cardio in. If you play enough, it's a good alternative to working out.
Also, consider other ways to get exercise. Riding your bike instead of driving your car is a good example of that. I do that and I've got a great lower body. Just do what fits for your life.
The franchise was damaged, sure, but it isn't your franchise, so that's really a moot point. There's one glaring flaw in your logic though: you didn't have to buy the game. That's how capitalism works. If people don't like the game, they don't have to buy it, and it will sort itself out.
What needs to change is what defines mainstream in the first place. If we have a market of people buying games simply because of the franchise upon which it's based, then we'll never win because the publishers know they can put this stuff out without hard work. If we as the public are gullible enough to buy a game for the name, that's our fault.
I mentioned already that they would be using the algae to get hyrogen and oxygen from water. So there is no energy source needed at all.
And having the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, where they can't be harnessed/controlled isn't much of a benefit. If i remember correctly, there is a large amount of hidden input energy involved in biofuels.
But he also mentioned the analog stick, which the SNES did not have.
But his comment is wrong either way. Adding buttons doesn't make it easy to use, especially the way the n64 was set up. L/R/Z? Different grips for the D-Pad and stick? I'm not sure that the N64 was meant for people to simply pick up and play. Even the buttons were set up in a manner that wasn't too smart... they kind of went backwards when they excluded the X/Y buttons, especially given the setup of the SNES controller.
But I do agree with him that people should be able to pick up and play, so on that note get rid of these ridiculous load times that are built in to the system. The splash screens are so annoying, especially after going back to SNES/NES recently and having a simple chime, then a menu in seconds. Of course, that's a limitation of the media.
I seem to remember seeing this on an episode of Extreme Engineering when they were talking about the city in a pyramid in Tokyo. They said they were toying around with the idea of having algae in the water underneath the city, but not to create biodiesel. The applications the scientist were discussing involved splitting water to obtain hydrogen. Now, I'm not sure if this uses the same principle, but if it does, wouldn't hydrogen be much more favorable than biodiesel as the only waste is water?
I don't see any obligation for them to pay you back. Allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment. [Ching ching ching] Alright, what were we talking about? Right. Games/CDs. Support the independent game developer and the independent artist. Give them your 15/8 bucks or whatever. Wait for reviews to games (maybe even on ones that you positively KNOW will be good... I'm thinking B&W here) or CDs. Ask your friends for their opinions about the items.
The point is they didn't lie to you. If you had purchased a car that was sold as 20mpg and you get 1mpg... complain. You deserve to be refunded because you didn't get what you were told you would. But in this case, Atari/WB isn't saying "You will like this game!" or even "This game is good." They aren't providing a guarantee on their merchandise and as such, don't owe you anything.
But if you're selling a used copy of Enter the Matrix...
In a proper rating system? So according to you, in a proper rating system, 50% of students would achieve less than 50%. The rating is not indicative of the ranking of the game relative to all the other games out there, it is a measure of how perfect the game is. Is it not possible to have multiple "perfect" games, at least in theory?
In cases like this, you need to look at the intent of the grading system. In this case it is to measure it against perfection or possibly to measure how bad the faults are. In other cases it is to sort a group of people or objects into ranking (first second third etc). Maybe it's to show how much better one thing is than another (a set of standards perhaps). In any case, the intent here is not to rank games in the bigger picture, but rather to rate them against themselves.
That's a somewhat faulty analogy. The sticky thing about making analogies about music is that when you make a copy of a song, the original remains as well as the copy. A better analogy would be a book. If I buy it, I'm only allowed to read it in one room. Supposing I want to read it in another room, I have to pay once more. Still not a perfect analogy, but better I think.
I think you're on to something here. Well, maybe not, but it certainly has inspired me. Maybe allow the Brit player to be in command of the Army. A strategy game if you will. Let the US players play the other side as an FPS. Think of it like taking over one of the characters in a RTS. That could possibly work given the right programming talent...

Well then, if you're selling a used P5...

Loading? No. It loaded fine for me, but Firefox just crumples up like a rag doll when it tries closing the damned things.
He admitted he murdered... there should be no problem.

I'm afraid they were still digital on the N64...

I'm assuming the cars will communicate with the lights (or some other arbitrary form of control) as well as the other cars on the road.
Since you give it to no one, do you have an empty inbox all the time?
She was a... rhinocerous?
Speaking of tin, sounds like you're wearing a tin foil hat.
all these insignia look like some sort of Boy Scout "Earth Orbit" or "Space Exploration" badges...
Maybe that's Bush's plan for 2020.
