The problem is it DOESN'T work most of the time. Look it up and you'll know why.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: News article assessing Nintendo future, reveals possible hidden agenda of gaming media

Metaphysical Spirit: Errr... Unreal only used vehicles in the newest version, and that only because they wanted to rip off Battlefield and Halo (look at that goddamn Scorpion if you still have doubts!).

Nintendo Gaming / RE: DS Controls Layout??

« on: February 13, 2004, 08:55:03 PM »

I'd like to see the A button become a clickable coolie hat. That way you can keep your fingers close to the directional controls and the buttons at the same time.

World+dog is making MMOs, I'm calling it a goldrush. Only one or two of them will make a profit, a few more might break even and the rest will die away for good.

As said on Slashdot, that'd be messy with using your fingers and you cannot reliably game with a pen in one hand.

Shouldn't PSO3 be bold as well?

Well, looks like there's not too many games coming out for me to handle. Good.

According to Namco both BK and ToS will be out in Europe end of this year/beginning of the next one. That's a looong time, but then I'm happy we get it at all.

Wait... SHINOBU??? God, somebody castrate the responsible idiot, he's a danger for society.
Also, they shouldn't bother with Chii pillows or anything, make a PC case already!

Fastfood might have such additives, yes. Diet Coke is based on them. But standard meat? Look, there's something like laws and those laws ban chemical additions on a level that could influence the organism.

Diablo 1 and 2, PSO 1&2 (for short periods, at least), Gauntlet (well, okay, I only played a clone of that), ... ummm... Well, haven't played any others.

« on: February 10, 2004, 07:30:10 AM »

Buy a clue or at least read the rules. There's a big topic in GC Discussion for these kinds of questions.
If I were you I'd skip both.

They should make an NGage Revised Edition, killing off that damn keypad and offering a real button layout, using a horizontal screen, kill of celphone features, lengthen battery life, etc. Only then I'll even consider giving them money.

Cartridges/Flash cards use less power than discs. Hell, all the other portable devices (PDAs, cell phones, all games systems except for PSP) use flash cards, only Sony wants to go with discs!

The only strategy games on GC are Pikmin and Goblin Commander, that genre just isn't suited for consoles. I'd suggest a PC.

In this context GBP means British Pound. Those international currency codes are more accurate than just putting a $ in there and let everybody guess which dollar you mean (Canadian? US? Australian?). Also, the € (euro-sign) isn't properly displayed in most charsets.

Well, I bet Sony will find SOME people to buy he thing, but it seems to me it'll do the same as all the other overpriced consoles (*cough*XBox at launch*cough*).

Hm, there's a game called Castlevania listed for a release on PS2 this month in Europe. Which one would that be?
