The show was crap. In retrospect I realize I watched them (might as well include captain N) out of desperation, much like a lot of the mangled anime I consumed. Looking back I see it for the HORRIBLE, money grubbing, fanchise milking shite it was.
But even after all that, the CDi reference was just uncalled for. The horror...
This bullshit service is a preemptive strike against free emulators. Do the publishers have the right to do this? Hell yeah! But I've also got the right to tell them to f**k off and make some decent new games.
If I play Zelda (I still have that gold cartidge somewhere) on my Treo 650 using an emulator and the original rom I believe its fair use. If I play the Adventures of Bayou Billy (shiver) which I rented once but never owned, not so much. Take equally or more obscure games and you get the same result. Who's going to throw a fit over me playing Atack of the Killer Tomatoes... unless someone has the brillant idea to pitch to publishers, lets take all the games most people don't even remember and resell them as a pay to play service. That way no matter the game, we can sue anyone that doesn't use our service to play these games, and since you originally published the game I'll cut you in... As in individual publisher, it really wasn't worth you time to pursue this alone, but if we ban together you might squeeze a couple more cents out of this game.
Nintendo had it's classics collection for the GBA. For $20 I could play the original Mario Bros (which if I remember correctly I at one point ripped out of the console, flung across the room and proceeded to jump up and down on. @#$$ world 8). All I could think was You Greedy Money-Grubbing Asshats. I don't need you to play this game. I would pay $20 for all the classics they released on one cartridge, but what they pulled was in my opinion obscene.

It's a remake of Final Fantasy 3 using consoles instead of characters, and although it had me laughing out loud, it wouldn't have been the same without the music.
"New York has the right to tax 100 percent of a nonresident employee's income derived from New York sources,"
Each employer distributes their own W2. This ruling states that 100% of the income earned from a New York based employer is subject to tax. A person who telecommuntes to New York 50% of their time and San Francisco the other 50% of their time can only be taxed by New York on the income generated from the New York Employer.
I own a DS and have played with a PSP (mine should be arriving shortly).
I was so disappointed by the DS and lack of titles I had any interest in, I gave it to a friend of mine a couple days after I got it. I have a gamefly account and there aren't even any I was compelled to rent.
The PSP on the other hand gave me goosebumps to hold and use. Then I put a game in... It is as solid a device as I could ask for.
I am still playing my GBA SP on a regular basis. The PSP is Sony's GBA SP in that it does exactly what it needs to very well. The DS is an experiment I hope goes well because it will inspire other innovations.
Hmm. Last time I check, there were a lots of pretty smart, incredibly opinionated technically astute people posting to/. I feel sorry for anyone too dim to grasp what an enormous opportunity the/. community provides. How you choose to take advantage of that opportunity is up to you. (Even if only training your bullshit detector:p)
comeon, those are just vaporware.. I'm holding out for the phantom.
I saw the phantom at the E3 2004. They're "booth" (which looked like a living room from an episode of Buck Rogers) confirmed what everyone (but their investors) knew... This was a comany good at packaging, and little else. They should have a joke/vaporware booth every year, followed by hysterical laughter at the people who dumped money into them that year.
As for E3 2005:
Registration - sent & confirmed.
Hotel - Booked
I hope the Guy Game Girls are there again ^_^
Although the "MATURE READERS This title is recommended for readers over the age of 18" is promising, am I the only one that thinks this should be in manga format?
A Change in diet would probably eliminate the migraines...
I make this statement because of professional studies (I paid money to an instutution and sat in a classroom with a teacher) in Health, Nutrition, and Acupressure (no not all in one class).
As for the study: "We've put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that we've failed to recognize the value of good sleep," said Fred Turek, a physician at Northwestern University.
Nutritional I/O aka Diet and Exercise are the foundations of what we can control about our health yet we spend time looking for an easier answer. Want to lose weight? Sleep more! Whatever.
Little Susie and Grandma don't know how to cover their tracks and are therefore easy targets to make public examples of. The word gets out even if at the expense of PR.
I wonder how long it'll be before IL throws in the towel completely... probably not until they milk every last bit of money from their investors.
Don't forget about the sob story they'll tell about how this is all HardOCP's fault from slander to court fees. The longer they drag it out the more they can say they tried but it wasn't their fault. Sickening.

I don't have the energy/drive to plow through tech books, absorbing their sweet, sweet knowledge I did 20 years ago.
I'll still get there, but with significantly more breaks and annoyance at not being done already.
I'd say it depends on what they poop.
FACE!
Don't forget the *waddle* *waddle* *waddle*
So basically it's impossible to quite with case sensitivity. Lameness Filter 1s teh sUx0r
They could bundle them with the CDi games.

If done correctly, everyone that donated shoud feel they at least go their money's worth ^_^
...For the next Starcraft. And no I don't mean Ghost.
Am I to believe, then, that Google has taken on a life of its own, and is now a living, speaking being, rather than just a corporate entity?
Yes. Google gained sentience some time in 1999...

Ohh, just a few more decades and we'll have a viable test bed right here on earth.
What? You're just going to ignore all the valuable data provided by the past couple decades?
I'm so glad I wasn't drinking milk when I read that...
You know you could just say that you're playing Final Fantasy V
And some people appreciate with when the obvious isn't stated. See...

What are the odds of finding that?
Yup, still laughing. Based on porn industry numbers, not that bad.
