I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes Nomura's shitty, sissy designs. To all those who are not in the know, yes this includes your man-fantasy Cloud as well.
The male hero was always moody and emotional and the female lead was even more pathetic.
And Cloud and Aerith weren't?
Let's kill the blatent FF7/Clud fanboyism. If you want real, macho heroes, look no further than Locke and Edgar. Cloud just doesn't cut it. Even his name is sissy.
But FFT wasn't even a Final Fantasy. It's as valide a Final Fantasy as Crystal Chronicles and Mystic Quest. The game qas developed by Quest, whom also made the Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre series. The game was basically Tactics Ogre 2 with a Final Fantasy theme.
In related news: Sony, the leader of the RIAA, is holding a vote to decide if all of the members of the RIAA should band together into one entity called the Trade Federation. By no coincidence do the Viceroy have Japanese accents, they are Sony.
But not to worry, Senator Clinton has a plan to combat the Sony Trade Federation, though it involves becoming chancellor, clone troppers and training a twinky apprentice...
The story would follow the Jedi regaining control of the universe from the many Dark Lords some 88 years before Anakin Skywalker ever graced the universe. Yoda, who, according to Lucas, was instrumental in the effort, would apparently have a headlining role.
If I'm not mistaken, doesn't this already exist, in some form, as Knights of the Old Republic? I thought Georgy boy officially declared that KOTOR was permenantly the very first plotline in the Star Wars universe, the Genesis of the SW universe if you will, much like Ocarina of Time is permenantly the very first Legend of Zelda storyline no matter how many other Zelda prequels they make.
We really don't need an Episode Zero movie, cuz if they tried to put all of the main points of KOTOR into a movie it would be at least 5 or 6 hours long...
How about HD video, ITunes, video chat, p2p filesharing, web surfing, streaming, etc
It's called a Personal Computer, and it can do all of those things regardless of if you're running Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. And most of them these days already have TV-out on the graphics cards, so the issue of having all of these things in your living room is moot too. Even the cheap-o Mac mini and VIA ITX/nano-ITX computers have it.
The only thing that the PlayStation3 can do that a PC cannot do (and better) is play PlayStation3 games. That's what it should focus on. Being a "jack of all trades, master of none" is why the PSP was a failure.
It doesn't really make any indication of how much more or less you are of a man if you're cut, being the decision is usually made by your parents when you're a baby. Now, if, as a baby, you have a conversation with your father and explicitly say you wish not to be cut, then, you are not only a man but bad ass. Unfortunately, since this is Slashdot, nobody here can honestly make that claim.
Sad to say but the bulk of the American voting public doesn't really give a shit about voting and would much rather whine instead of making a difference.
This is because you can whine from the comfort of your couch, but you actually have to get up to make a difference.
Well actually the battle for states' rights lead to the Civil War, not the War of Independence. And that's where we seem to be headed again... another Civil War. Thank god the Bible-thumping rednecks are too afraid of science to use use anything actually deadly. The north won once, it will win again. Then maybe we can outlaw religious conservatism once and for all.
You guys for the Greens and Libertarians do know you're just throwing your votes away right? The reason all of these republicans are in power is because the liberal voters are split between the democrats and the third parties, while the conservatives are all focused on the one, republican party. They also want you to believe that there's no difference between DEMs and GOP but that's just an illusion too.
People really need to wake the fuck up and vote these rich assholes out of power. But voting Green is not going to do it.
Slashdot Mirror
Weird. Final Fantasy VII came out when I was in high school too, and now I'm 23. Middle age is still more than double my life away...

Could the Final Fantasy series have finally come to an end?
But... with Final Fantasy gone, what game series will continue to define "dead horse" oh so well??

What's to stop your "first and only backup" from being a harddrive rip (to MP3 or OGG) and then making infinite back-up's from those?
If HP were farmers: "HP announces alliance with Lions, Jackals and Wolves to mind sheep & lambs".
These must be the same guys who helped fun the Phantom Console, eh.
Well if AMD goes this way too, there's always VIA and their C/Eden and nano-itx architectures. Good ol' Koreans...
This is Slashdot. You haven't seen any in real life.

Tell me what an emotion engine is, exactly
It's a 32-bit MIPS processesor that thinks it's a "128-bit system". Shhh, don't say anything. It also still believes in Santa Claus.
"Failed attempt" and "Sony" seem to go hand in hand these days...
...
*cough* Betamax *cough* Minidisc *cough* VAIO *cough* Clie *cough* PSX *cough* PSP *cough*

Why does it always seem Tim Burton gets no respect from movie critics?
real men are uncut.

what is linux going to offer over OS X since you get OS X with a Mini anyway?
The inability to run Macromedia Flash content, for one.
He's right. It's NetBSD that you install on your microwave. Duh.
Don't worry, they've already come up with a solution to cheap immagrant labor. It's called outsourcing.
True. I guess all that needs to be done to this database is to get Slashdotted. Who knew the Slashdot effect would be our last bastion of freedom?

Does this mean that it's the republicans who are actually causing the terrorism? Using terrorism to terrorize us.
Third parties are NEVER going to take any important offices. At least vote Democrat to break up the Republican stranglehold on the government.
