Aerie is too annoying to complete because she's got a consitent mindset of a 14 year old.
you have to remember that the vast majority of players of the game were, either physically or emotionally, 14-16 year old males, so having a female with the mindset of a 14 year old is pretty well targetted at the user base.
If your criteria were simply native language you could easily find quite a far parts of the US belong in the "Spanish North America Region" (which also includes Cuba). Then you've got the issue as to if the the rest of the US is it's own region or if it can be put with most of Canada and Belize as "English North America".
Wow, I'll tell my Hispanic relatives in Santa Barbara, CA, who have lived in the US since before Texas joined the Union, that they don't exist.
If you mean One King To Rule Them All... well, no.
But if you wanted to play one character to the logical conculsions, then yes.
Regardless, as I said originally, I'm still waiting for a reason why I should rush and buy an xBox360 and not be happy with my GameCube and xBox that I do have. I still haven't heard that story yet.
When I saw the games titles for the Sony PS3 and the Nintendo Revolution... now there I saw fun games. I can wait until they're both out and then decide.
To me the big comment was about casual gamers

that casual gamers are the real market/universe, and that hardcore gamers are only a small subset of that.
That, to me, is the lesson of Nintendogs.
When the gaming industry wakes up to that one is when games explode into life.
Not only is there no link, there's no story

people will still buy Final Fantasy in record numbers and it will still be in the top three games purchased in Japan and Asia this year.
There's the game the critics want.
There's the game the designers want.
There's the game the marketers/vendors want.
My guess is the first game (critics) would be unplayable, the second game (designers) would be really cool but not break even, and the third game (marketers) would be totally unoriginal but have snippets that make you wish they did it right.
The Nintendo Rev will be able to play NES, SNES, N64, GB, GC, Genesis, and TurboGraphx games out of the box. Big deal. I think I can wait:)
Not only that, but if you use the xBox360 solution, you still have to buy a Windows box to play Windows Media Center output and broadcast it to the xBox360.
However, it may be easier to crack. The xBox360, that is.
Decisions, decisions. I think I'll wait two years and enjoy my GameCube and xBox just a tad longer. I still haven't completed Sims2 (xBox)...
No, the Korean and Chinese spam would just be replaced with Mexican spam, since it's the same region. And that would replace the tentacles with chihuahuas.
Solution 1: Wait two years after product mass introduction to buy the same technology with all the bugs worked out, for one-third the price.
Solution 2: Don't buy DRM and other invasive products.
Either solution will work, the former assumes you're just a cog in the machine and you don't need this technology absolutely today but can wait until 50 percent of the population has switched over, the latter assumes you think a non-DRM OpenSource-friendly version will be adopted at some point.
Well, now, it might be beta for most of the country, but when one lives in Seattle, there's a heck of a lot of people who have the Windows Vista beta, and the IE 7 beta, so just saying it's a beta doesn't mean much.
I've been using the BBCNews TalkBack beta for about two months now. Sure, it's a beta, but it's what everyone uses,...

Hardcore gamer, happily married to hardcore gamer.
You have to admit, though, that we're talking about a very small fraction of people there. Possibly larger amongst gay marrieds, IMHO, since that's legal in half of the world.

An interesting statistical study would be how many adult hardcore gamers are:
a. single by choice; b. single because they are hardcore gamers; c. divorced because they are hardcore gamers; d. going to be divorced because they are or will be hardcore gamers; or e. happily married and hardcore gamers.
I'd guess a number of the E. responses are actually D., since they probably don't realize what's going to happen.
I'd run Windows Vista, but it won't work on my laptop and I have real work to do on my work PC - I'm the only Windows box in our entire lab - everything else is Linux. Mostly use it for MS Access, actually.

I think it's Boo that got my son to create his first online alias, John Hamsta.
Games that have a wee bit of humor are always just a bit better, I think.
Of course, I'll probably be retired before they're out.
well, it still rains, so ties or not, Seattle's not the best.
I agree. Here at the UW, people tend to wear tshirts or turtlenecks more than shirts/ties. Ties get in the way.
And you can always throw on a lab coat when you need one.
don't forget high heels - originally, men wore high heels.
so i don't see why pony tails and sandals matter or are a bad image for Open Source in the 21st century - ties are dead here in Seattle anyway.
it's a good thing to remember that ties and folded down shirt collars used to be the sign of drug users, rebels, and layabouts, in earlier times.
to avoid Open Source.
...
That's like refusing to buy Sushi from people who understand freshness, cleanliness, and how to keep the food preparation surfaces shiny.
Besides, all the hot g1r1s have ponytails

You can always complete the Sims.
It depends on how you look at winning.

But we do medical research, so I'm not sure how typical that would be.

really? is it anything like LINUX? Linux Is Not Unix.
is at this story, so you can see it's not just the EWeek posting.
Which means it's not a dupe, it's a second bug.
No, according to InfoWorld, there are two bugs, so it's not a dupe, it's a second bug.
But, good catch!
I thought Sun sold hardware.
but I use IE to download my WinXP patches.
so I am using it.
I'd run Windows Vista, but it won't work on my laptop and I have real work to do on my work PC - I'm the only Windows box in our entire lab - everything else is Linux. Mostly use it for MS Access, actually.
oh. but if it's beta, that means they already shipped it with Vista, right?
