Will it interact with the other two versions? Let's hope so.

Ever since the original DC game PSO came out, people have commented that it would make a perfect PC game.

Not that I really can think about launch too much right now...but here's a couple things mulling around my head...

Hey everyone...

I hope you, your families and friends are all safe and okay. I followed everything on television last night about the attacks on the US. It was very surreal seeing everything from here. For two hours we had someone translate everything to us. At first we thought it was a movie.... Read more...

As you probably already know, Cartoon Newtork and Toonami are running a contest called "Lock Down," sponsored by GameCube. Since many don't have the joy that is Cartoon Network, and the full version is very rare anyway, I (TYP) decided to start videotaping commercials at peak times. Unfortunately, I always got the version without the GCN logo.
