We didn't have none of these fancy voices, if we wanted to hear a noise we saw the text and read it.
Who can forget such memorable phrases as "Thwack" and "..." in the old SNES RPGs?
I don't know about anyone else but I really like silent voice actors, then I can focus on whats going on rather then going "meh, I can listen as I read slashdot and let this boring FMV pass... oh shit it's already ended" and I'm laying there half dead already.
If I remember correctly Dell loaded spy ware onto Windows machines and stopped telling the general public how to remove it... Now then, how will they do this with Linux?
Once a spyware user, always a spyware user. Theres no reforming in business, just bullshitting more.
Erm.. how about let them do as they wish within bondaries and if they wish to learn then teach them?
Forcing anyone to learn anything does more harm then good. It's ridiclous to go "hey I want to teach you to shoot someone... oh who cares if you want to, pick up the gun and come with me to school". Forcing someone to do something is no different then your parents forcing you to live within a restricted world..
So we're what two years away from another FF game, another DDR series with erm.. better graphics?
Nah, I don't think I'll bother with the PS3, it won't be hugely different to the PS2 and well I'd rather support someone like Nintendo who can make a console which doesn't die after a year (I'm sure everyone has seen or heard of a bad PS2 like that).
Sony can make fine TVs, DVDs, VHS and whatever else you wish to name. But the PS systems after the first just need alot of work.. we're on what the 10th model now and they still don't run right...
I've been looking forward to this game since my friend (from Japan) mentioned it. It seems a good game and if theres a good culture refrence behind it all the better... but this article made me think "Come to Japan, we're freaks". It showed all the Japan steriotypes in 5 pages and mentioned the game... was good.. and had toilet enemies? O.o
Wheres the mention of Dante from Devil may cry (A refrence everyone will get) hunting you? The countless angels from the Christian faith you can get to join you?
Wheres the mention of fighting God himself? They skipped the game over and tried to whore Japan to hippies, freaks (no offence) and businessmen... Well done article..
Sorry to sound negative but when I read a game article, I like it to have more then 3 words about the game.
Hey, nor is IE or any microsoft product to the standard today. I'd rather not pay 100 for something which isn't compatable, when I can pay nothing but a few hours typing and a couple of cans of Coke, to have something extremely compatable and helpful to everyone who uses said software:)
last time I tried it my 2 year old mobile phone still worked fine, why update it so I can look at tiny pictures which I have this ancient technology called a "digital camera" for doing so?:P
I find it strange that everyone needs all these "amazing new features" etc. etc. but 99% of the time it won't change how the music sounds at all. I don't see the point of buying a new VCR because mine still works, same goes for TV, GBA(not SP) and so on and so forth.
Why waste 300 on some new gadget which will work pretty much identical to the old ones when the global standard isn't changing much (global standard for MP3s will always just be the old MP3 untill replaced for example).
I was pretty sure it was also illegal to mug people in most countries but I still see hundreds if not thousands of people getting away with it and these people can't change how they look (AKA change where the e-mail spawned from).
Looks like another useless law which people will laugh at and shrug
What happens if the card gets stolen? Do they test the card and the eyes/finger print to comfirm it's them? I can think of so many ways to abuse this if they don't..
I perfer to deal in Cash (A goes to B, B is happy, A takes away goods, all sorted), rather then have a credit card and mess around with intrest and all that bollocks.
Does this mean I cannot view my websites now? Business today does not want to accept that it takes 1p to earn 2p, when you start to try and cut costs that much you start to piss people off and they turn their backs so you get nothing.
All I hear now is "The internet is dangerous" or "It's all porn" and I'm starting to wish it was because then idiots who come up with stupid ideas to make money (Spammers, pop up users etc.) would fuck off and leave us alone to have our peaceful society of nerds, cross dressing men and crappy sprite comic arists.
How can you be the father of a data storage system? Our brains are the ultimate storage system and invented long long ago so claiming to be the father of inventing a simple storage system is kinda like someone claimging to be the father of fresh air..
I mean the BBC, I have no faith in US news but I believe BBC for 80% of what they say.. they haven't said a word about it but news about spam and general crap we all know needs sorting but newbis will never be able to effect in the slightest gets loads of air time on channels
The sad thing is their actions haven't been on public news or anything. If they can report some idiots kicking a ball around why isn't the news reporting when a huge violation of trust and the law is done by a big company. When you look at how all this has played out you start to relise just how messed up the news community is...
If it's David Beckham then they will sell their left arm for a picture but if it's a serious issue like this then it gets no coverage and other then us geeks most people won't even have a clue about it..
Nice to see Slashdot is now writing for the people who lack reading skills. With the site being slashdotted a little more text to explain WTF was going on with the article rather then "here read this" would of been nice
So I want to buy a song from napster (mp3 lets just say)... so I go into a store to buy said song... and it comes on a little circle shaped disc... oh wait, isn't that like buying from a record store? Damn it, looks like I've just bought a CD with a new fancy name and a bit lower price but alot less tracks..

DS is a portable console...
and do you REALLY want to lose Nintendo? We're left with a DVD/MP3 player company and Microsoft..... why hell thar bad games market
So we're what two years away from another FF game, another DDR series with erm.. better graphics?

every 5 minutes? and what if nothing happens in said 5 minutes? Why not just when something needs to be updated instead?

Microsoft and sports on Slashdot.. isn't that like an African american at a KKK meeting?
Just maybe no one keeps their phones long enough for them to relise any errors with them.
Yea, sorry about that.. I have common sense...
:P

They'll just make the ram blue with white text on it in the future. Windows can even crash a stationary car these days

Just think of the next adverts.
"Microsoft, bringing out the best in you by using your knowledge because we ain't got a clue"
UK and Britian are two totally different things. Most people ignore that and it bugs me.
call it a battery! and we'd run all sort of magical devices on them ;P
