I've had a few problems with my PS2 doing this, but usually hitting menu three times brings you immediately to the title screen. How's it rank on the freedom-o-meter?
Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden are the only 2 games that ever drove me to hysterical, crying fits as a little kid. And I had game genie codes for infinite lives -- they weren't much help:(
Still, I hold actually beating the Grim Reaper as a tremendous feat. Like getting all the cheats in goldeneye and finishing Blaster Master.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with it nonetheless -- picked it up in Nov or so for myself, actually. $150 with Mario included, and I've loved the new Castlevania and Resident Evil remake. But the backlight limitation is really noticeable, especially with Resident Evil. I mean, they made sure to scan the bar code on my DS when I bought it -- a discount for those who purchased the original would result in amazing PR, especially since the people who would take advantage of it are their most valuable customers (buying early and often).
With the fracas over hidden stuff in San Andreas? Probably never.
The Mario people are probably as legendary for perversion as the disney people. Just think of all the crazy shit that's locked up in the Super Princess Peach rom.
It might've helped if they lowered the price of a DS shortly before announcing that a better, cheaper version was going to come out soon. Anyone who got one for christmas got totally hosed.
Bill Gates gives his opinion on the Microsoft/Sony gaming war:
Gates later expounded that the army has acheived a stunning victory on the african front, completely routing our enemies in Eurasia and taking over a million prisoners. In other news, chocolate rations will be increased to 25 grams a week...
I got soft between the shareware version and trading games on 3 1/2 diskettes at school until I found someone with duke3d. My first play through the moon base, I abused the water fountain +1% health like it was going out of style:(
Might've been because I'd been playing alot of wolfenstein and assumed the secrets were pushwalls instead of creative jumping/shooting/searching puzzles. Just sorta gave after after the red light district level.
I hope they added a "You should not be here... --Level Lord" message on some in-accessible portion of the map. Hadn't seen that kind of loving development of a game since Rise of the Triads.
(loosely paraphrased from an issue of Nintendo Power)
Age 7: You play your first game of Equinox.
Age 15: You're failing school, but you can pass the skeletons now without trouble
Age 19: Missed your high school graduation, but at last you've conquered the third dungeon
Age 35: No job, no friends, never kissed a girl, but you can now get to the fifth dungeon with ease
Age 52: Heart's giving you trouble, but at least you can beat those green blobs in the sixth dungeon
Age 71: Can't feel the controller, can't see the screen, can't hear the sound. Feeling the breath of the evil empress on your neck, you bequeath the joystick to your grandson.
Age 7: Has to miss grandpa's funeral, but you finally defeated the evil empress. He would have wanted it that way.
Actually, I just thought it was a great excuse to use a Fargo quote:)
But I go one step closer and don't want anything messing with my eye, even a laser, much like Scwartzenegger's friend in Total Recall: "Don't fuck with your eyes, pal -- it 'aint worth it!"
Slashdot Mirror
"Let me speak to your manager!"
I am so going to try that next time I get into an arguement on the interwebs.
And what, pray tell, are these "gangs" of youth doing? Open battle on the street? Knocking over banks? Or will they just not get off your dang lawn?
lol, old people...
This comment is made of win and good.

if you got one at Christmas you will have got six months use out of it by the time the (more expensive) DS Lite is released
:) $20 a month for rental -- heck, lunch in manhattan can cost that much easy.
Well, that does make me feel a little better
Don't suppose I'd be able to get much for it on ebay. Maybe I'll give it away to a little cousin or something.
Actually, since you're a part of the company, you are responsible as well, correct? Enjoy your hard time.
Like the above poster said... stocks, bonds -- bad news.
It will be tied up in Tax Court (where corporations appeal decisions like this) for years.
Fixed.

I wonder if he's allowed to drink on the job, like his namesake :)
Bacchus' Wine grants beserk status, so obviously he'll continue to work until the battle is over, even if he's already been fired.

Women are crafty. They probably attacked from behind. And did 2x damage.

That's because they didn't pay their protection money (http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70305-0.ht ml?tw=rss.index)
How would you describe the decision making process that has gone into designing SWG?
I'll take "What is a train wreck?" for $200, Alex
All EULA's have some sort of sentence near the top reading similar to: "By purchasing this product, you agree to..."
There's your loophole right there. The rest of you aren't actually paying for any of this crap, are you?
I'm pretty sure there will be lots of human enemies to make the war horrific enough provided this technology is successful.
Can they transform and combine to form Devastator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructicons yet?

If not, then when did the IRS get the power to unilaterally demand private (at least to Paypal) information on taxpayers without probable cause?
I went and got WaveFront analysis and IntraLase added into the package
