"Part of me wants to ask Santa for this machine just to relive the feeling of not being able to sleep at night, waking my parents up to go around the Christmas tree in my footies to open the biggest box first and show a level of enthusiasm that only a kid on Christmas day could muster at 4am."
At http://www.numberspiral.com/ somebody figured out that if you spiral numbers around, keeping square numbers next to each other, you get some freaky beautiful curve patterns. I wonder if this new one is on one of those curves.
Wow, this thread makes me want to get a DS - the possibilities ROCK - and knowing Nintendo, a lot of them will probably happen.
If the DS achieves even a fifth of the popularity of the original Gameboy, it will be around for a LONG time, and it will have some intense games...
Hmmmm...how much does it cost again? 8)
We appreciate and share players' concerns about a possible dupe exploit, and we're continuing to investigate the matter thoroughly.
However, at this time, we do not show any legitimate evidence of duping currently taking place or having taken place for as far back as we've checked.
Should any actual duping methods be confirmed, we will take the appropriate action in regard to the game and to any characters and accounts found to have been used with such an exploit.
Concerning a possible rollback: This is just a rumour!
I bet they hotfixed the problem and now are acting like it never happened... please look into this pen, it will emit a short flash...
*Flash*
The exploit never happened. Nothing of the sort was ever possible...
...how we have NO clue how the universe came to be.
We can't even figure out how planets came into existence! We get all these theories going, and then find stuff that shows that we actually have NO clue whatsoever.
Well, there is now no question that we have evidence and information that Mr. Kutaragi, the president of Sony, has UMDs, biological and chemical particularly.
Mr. Kutaragi and his sons must leave Japan within 48 hours. Their refusal to do so will result in military conflict, commenced at a time of our choosing.
We're also thinking about possibly adding the warning to the box that the excitement, utter euphoria, and overall satisfaction XBox360 will bring to your life will completely revolutionize your way of life.
Even Bin Laden himself has written us and says he wants one, so we're also planning on using them in the war against terror to persuade evil men of the virtues of democracy.
Oh, and did we mention Dr. William Dentist says it's good for your teeth?
C.S. Lewis wrote a very cool sci-fi trilogy with alien worlds included, based on a creationist perspective, called Perelandra.
Might want to check it out, if you haven't already.
Hmm, the only reason you mention for seeing all religion as myth is that
some of the darkest periods in history were results of, or were instituted by, so-called "religious" people, acting upon supposedly "higher" orders, or so they thought.
I find it not very logical to blame the religions and faiths for things that "so-called" "religious" people did, often out of political rather than religious reasons.
That's like someone claiming to be me, wearing my clothes, who commits a murder, and you blame it on me, cause hey! - he had my clothes, he said he was me!
"If it's useful, we'll hold on to it," said Nicole Wong, a Google associate general counsel.
Wonderful journalism. I'm sure she explained a bit more than that (i.e. what is "useful"), but hey - if we truncate it, it'll sound kind of scary, and it'll still be a direct quote!
They had this huge problem regarding comic books and their horrible influence on youth, ended up actually approving a bill against literature about crime. In fact, there was even a mass burning of comic books in 1948, in New York!
Dr. Fredric Wertham got all up and at 'em because they were full of "communist thinking, sex, and violence"...scratch the communist thing (SO last century...right?), and it sounds VERY similar to people's problems with video games.;)

The difference is, the rich kids pay YOU for cool eq/chars/whatever, making YOU a rich kid. :)
How about free p0rn instead of beer? MOD ME UP, BABY!
Yeah, all of us are looking for sex....
right? Wow, that makes me feel...warm and...fuzzy.
And monkeys might fly out of my butt...
I for one welcome our new no-balled kitten-hating overlord.
This guy's got balls.
I am a terrorist and/or am planning terrorist activities in the United States: [ ]
Or maybe add an HTML Tag to the BODY tag, like regime=terror or something like that...
