Honestly.... how goddamn hard is this concept to wrap around your head?
ESRB Rating : M for mature. This game contains:

Thats the ESRB rating right from the box...
Where on there does it say the game is SAFE for kids to play? It's not meant for children.
It even says there's strong sexual content. That would mean the "hot coffee" mod doesn't raise the bar any higher then it's already been set for!
Didn't Doom 3 come out like a year ago? Did the author of TFA just finally manage to get a "next generation" PC that's powerfull enough to play the game and enjoy it to its' fullest?
Spottswoode: From what I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.N.C.E has gathered, it would be 9/11 times 100. Gary Johnston: 9/11 times a hundred? Jesus, that's... Spottswoode: Yes, 91,100. Chris: Basically, all the worst parts of the bible.

Only because it sucked to lose your main healer at that time in the game!
I got an old painted over Pole Position Cabinet for free from someone about 30 minutes from me who was going to get rid of it. I got the cabinet, finished painting it, cleaned it out, and then went on with my plan.
I rigged up a full PC with Mame, and pretty much every game known to man. I'd reccomend getting a decent graphics card and lots of ram if you want to play some of the newer stuff.
The controls are all done though an X-arcade (be sure to get the usb adapter) and it has s-video out, running to my 23" tv inside the cabinet.
Ideally, I'll be getting a 23" LCD to hook up to it, and Ill be making a switch, so i can jump from pc to xbox to ps2, instead of manually switching the cables for my xarcade.
The fact they have the adapters for the xarcade makes my life much easier.
Here's a link to a mirror of his site. There's also a personal message tacked onto the top which he wanted me to pass on to everyone. I still dont have the mp3 yet... but give me some time and i should have it, and i'll add it as well.
If someone can send me the mp3, i'll gladly host a streaming version on my site. It should be able to handle a bit of stress, at least until fatman's site evens out.

Thanks.
Perhaps because there's something to still do once you get to the highest level, other then just roll a new character and be amazed at how cool you can make your super hero be?
The content alone makes WoW the clear choice. Add the music, the sound, the immersion, the events (xmas in your favorite city?), and the amount of people to play with, and yea, its clear why WoW won.
What an appropriate time to link something related to this. check out this little video about this exact subject. Blogs replacing journalism.
Check it out.
As much as i dislike Dvorak, I sure did enjoy Big Thinkers.
I had totally forgotten about Silicon Spin. Fresh Gear and Cybercrime wasd totally awesome as well.
I miss the old X-Play with Adam and Kate (the true hot redhead!)

Whats a real shame is Sega missing their oppertunity to work with the mod community and embrace the dc as an open console..that would have been so cool.. but o well
*expects to get modded offtopic.. but it was worth it!*
They have a 4mil current debt.. not 68M like stated by others. The 68 is how much they are going to need to keep afloat for another 2 years.
If they are only 4M in debt right now..IMHO I'd say it's pretty clear they're going to be eating a lot of money on their console (much like all of the other console makers do) and are praying that their subscription services make them their money. How do they intend to make 35M in 1 Year in subscription services and Pay per play alone? Has ANY company managed to make that much money? Didn't Sega try this whole thing with the sega tv? Guess history is doomed to repeat itself once again.
Wow, ok that was a better way to say it, without sounding like the other two have.
I guess I came off like that because of my bitterness of being disappointed by so many promising titles. It's so easy to feed into the hype of the "next big thing", to hope so much that it would be even remotely as good as it sounds on paper, and then to just see the project canned or the game rushed.
I really appreciate both remarks to my comment, in trying to criticize how i said something, as opposed to WHAT i was saying. Keep up the good work grammar nazi's..your work is appreciated.
At least have the balls to post under your name instead of being just an Anonymous Coward.
I've been bitching about the lack of effort in the game market for quite some time.
[IMHO] There aren't many game companies left that actually put in all the marbles into their games... those that do (Blizzard, ID, And some others) are still the strong contenders in the market.
The main problem is the sheer number of games that are coming out.. and their lousy execution. I blame the game companies that license their engines to pretty much any1 with the money. Thats why when u go to a Best Buy or frys.. you see rows of games that are 20$ or less, mainly due to the fact no one ever bought them.
Here's my idea of what needs to happen: -Companies need to stop making crappy FPS's and Crappy RTS's. -They need to focus on gameplay instead of graphics -Start including good music, and something we rarely see: Story!!!
Im not against game engine licensing.. but perhaps companies should be a little stricter as to who their sell the use to.. it's what caused the flood into this market. [IMHO/]
Besides Avalon and WinFS, the core OS is supposed to be all-new, so that we can get things like real-time multimedia playback (e.g. guaranteed minimum CPU time for a process). So we still need Longhorn even if we get Avalon and Indigo on XP!
Actually... the dual layer is what the issue is about. R9 is the 9gig discs (dual layer) that they cant decide on. There shouldnt be another issue like this until they get to HD-DVD's:D
One thing a lot of people dont realize is this:
Though they've sold millions of songs.. Apple ISN'T making money on the songs, on average. It's a total loss leader. They make the money by allowing itunes customers to get their music onto their ipod.. and their ipod only! Its the ipods that they make all of their money on.
more resourcefull for someone to use one of the latest IE exploits to make a worm that just makes all the doubleclick urls default to 128.0.0.0, thus eliminating their dead servers:)

I have the mp3 hosted on my mirror of the site.
check out my mirror for the mirror and the direct link (first thing on the page) to the mp3.
There's also a personal tidbit of info from him as well posted below the link.
Enjoy!

Not sure if this was suggested, but have you tried out the Pinnacle Showcenter? I'm an avid fan, as it's very easy to use/setup. Plus, it plays my Xvid/AC3 Encoded DVD Backups. http://www.pinnaclesys.com/ProductPage_n.asp?Produ ct_ID=1491&Langue_ID=7
