  • They're still on Amazon, like new, for about 500 bucks though... Hopefully that price will last for a little while, I'd really like to get one of those. I'm not sure how long my PS2 is going to last... Hey, important question, can you play PS1 games on your PS3?
  • If Wikipedia is to be believed, however, it's not much to celebrate... All they're basically doing is dropping their current 80 GB model, with PS2 backwards compatibility, 4 USB ports, and SACD compatibility, and adding 40 GB of hard drive space their current 40 GB model (which lacks the compatibilities listed above and…
  • Never heard of it.. I guess I got a bit lax in checking out new Wii titles after they became a series of disappointments... was it any good?
  • Again, I should have made myself more clear. The way I saw it, No More Heroes was originally meant to be a a swordfighting game that made up for the mistakes of Red Steel. I deduce this from an interview I read with the developer during production. He said something to that effect, and I think he said he wanted to make it…
  • Try this. It might work better for you.
  • Yes. Just to be contradictory. :takethat: EDIT: By the way, John, when's the next wipe?
  • While we're kinda on the topic, there's some songs I'm pretty excited about for Rock Band 2. "Panic Attack" by Dream Theater, "Everlong" by Foo Fighters, "Chop Suey!" by System of a Down, "Battery" by Metallica, plus a few others that may be good. Panic Attack will be very interesting on the drums... it almost requires a…
  • That's my point entirely. The only way this new feature will really work for the hardcore demographic is for someone to develop a title that makes full use of the new motion sensing technology. Hopefully someone will make a good interactive sword game, after two failed attempts.
  • Touche, salesman. The God of Casual Gaming. It's growing in power. Beware.
  • That's only half of the incorrect pronouns in your post, John...
  • Perhaps I should have been more specific, Geoko. I do indeed enjoy several Wii games. However, none of them will benefit from this new technology, and there's really nothing promising on the horizon. Actually, No More Heroes kinda represents one of the tragedies of the Wii. It's a sword game on a motion-sensor console...…
  • Unfortunately I don't really produce art anymore... but I love consuming it and mimicking it! I too would be happy to attempt to read stuff, or do voices, or sing, or whatever. There's a lot of art out there that I really enjoy, I always like sharing that with people.
  • Ryan and I have been talking about just such a thing for a while.... but even if their controllers are super awesome, we still don't have any good games to play with them.
  • So..... I thought this was some sort of competition. Where's the judging, John?
  • Well I'm glad I don't own Rock Band yet (my brother has it, not me)... frankly, I am a bit disappointed with the drum set. It's so damn LOUD! And so far, all my efforts at dampening the sound have also impaired hit detection a bit. So I either hear CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK or I miss notes even though I hit it right.…
  • Yeah, I do remember that. It never even was displayed in America, seriously. Some people just hold a generations-long grudge and project it onto the rest of the world.
  • Well, I don't know if I responded to you... but anyway, the reason that he added new characters and ignored some characters was because he had to for size reasons. The fourth book was just getting to be way too big... like 1800 pages or something, so they made him split it up. He decided that instead of splitting it up…
  • They're technically children's literature, too, so they should be pretty quick reads. Unlike Ice and Fire, which is usually about 1000 to 1300 pages per book.
  • Well, that depends... Narnia and Lord of the Rings are more about ideas, and the characters are generally archetypes on an archetypal quest. Ice and Fire does surpass those series in scope, I would say, but is far from archetypal. The story contained within is told from the point of view of a number of characters,…
  • A Song of Ice and Fire. But other than that, yes, you're quite right.
  • Well, I have to say that I have never taken a class in later American literature, so I haven't read any Twain save "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court". And it was a long time ago... I think maybe in the beginning of high school, so I wonder what I'd think of it now...
  • Welcome, person, to our humble home! Although there seems to be a rabid hatred of image signatures here, so I would suggest changing yours to text before someone yells at you for realz.
  • Well, even though all that I've read about LaVeyan Satanism pretty much agrees with what JacMake said (though I wouldn't have put in such harsh terms, that's what Jakey's here for :D) I would still like to hear your rationale for following it. And that's not because I mean to mock you, not at all. I fully support the…
  • I did, Bruce, because I lurrrrrve you.
  • I'm guessing Panda is a dude, judging from the enlarged text... but regardless, I would be very interested in this. I read about it on Wikipedia, but as stated, that information isn't always completely accurate. I eagerly anticipate your first lesson.
  • Oh, you poor man. That was such a terrible experience for me.

  • I definitely wouldn't say immature or boring. I understand that the concept of immortality is a bit unnatural, and maybe it would be a bad thing in the long run. Children do complicate the matter a lot, and it's likely that you would have to forego reproduction if you wanted to become immortal. It's just a different…
  • So.... I was looking around on Wikipedia, and I found what I think may be a solution to my worry about mind uploading. I worried that during the upload, your actual consciousness would be lost, and the copy would live on. But replacing the mind with artificial components piece by piece might be the answer. Apparently your…
  • Or it didn't happen.
