Sony person: "We have plain old black and white, and for those of you who are indecisive, silver!" LOL.

I think they should stay with black, but that's just me. :) White looks like toothpaste to me, and silver is a bad attempt to look cool. Black all the way, baby. :))

I believe it. My cousin Cindy and her husband bought a new home in the Natomas area in Sacto, CA for 284. Two years later a home with the same plan as theirs sold for 700,000.

It looks WAY over the top. I don't like the game play on Madden as much as ncaa. I bought the first Madden Football back in 1990{?} when it was on sega genesis.

My hubby got me this computer so he could lay claim to the remote to his 55". ADHD too, although we've never seen anything in ADHD.

I loved "Pitfall."

That's where I first learned the "Dragnet" theme song....

Pitfall, Commando, Sea Battle, Ice Trek, that one Dragon game I can't remember the title of.

For NES, I always got a laugh from the first Metal Gear from the 80's..."The truck have started to move"..."I feel asleep"

Ahhhhhh, life is good.

Well yeah... and "SUPER TECHMO BOWL" was great for NES, but we advance.

"BASEBALL" for ATARII was great. I love hitting that square dot, with my man made of two rectangles, two sqaures, and a circle. Sure it was 2-dimentional, and the only 'homerun' indicator was the 'tone' of the hit.

But we advance.

Now we have 3d (and will be 4-d in the next 10yrs).. the video game industry already surpasses ALL OF HOLLWOOD industry (without a wimper of fanfare).

But companeis like Sony see it... PC enthusiests see it... its just a question of when the "non-nerds" catch up to how cool we are ;)

Did you read his post 53?<.i>

Yeah, and I had to read it again after I picked myself up off the floor. :-)

Not one FReeper knows what "Oggin'" is. That's sad.

I don't think Saddam had very good talent. Torture and dismemberment are not good motivators for the creative mind.

LOL! You can almost see it..."I think I'm only winning every game because you guys' hands shake so badly. What am I paying you scientists for?"

As long as they still exist, I'm happy.

Nintendo has been known for making mistakes and being totally stubborn. I mean, c'mon, no online play? Stupid.

*Thankfully* this new console of theirs is supposed to have free WiFi capabilities right out of the box. Good graphics would help, too.

But one thing that makes the Big N endearing is its gameplay. No, it doesn't have a plethora of M rated games. Yes, it has a plethora of fun games. FUN. That's important. A game doesn't need blood and adult stuff -- it needs to be just plain FUN, and Nintendo can full well deliver that.

This next console will either make or break Nintendo. Handheld territory is anyone's game, with the PSP. (Nintendo supposedly wasn't worried about the PSP, saying that [paraphrase] "Nintendo has always held the handheld market and always will". Well, duh, Nin. You've been the only ones out there. And did you forget that Sony has the largest gaming fanbase out there? Hellooooo??)

I could go into an hour long discussion on that topic, but I'll spare you that agony. ;)

Isn't it a city in Utah?

[FreedomNeocon]

As a sidenote... I'm thinking of moving to Thailand, and developing an emulator to run on PS3 that will run all older games.

Basically I'll rip off the existing emulators for the PC that work for NES, SNES, N64, SEGA (MASTER/GENESIS/MASTER), GAMEBOY/Advance, C64, PS, PS2, XBOX, etc... that ALL already run on the PC.

Sure Sony will sue.. but in those 'shady states' I can make some SERIOUS dough... for a while

Whos in? ;)

Get Dish.

We have dish. We got a brochure from a cable company that offered ADHD channels only. They were three fourths sports channels. Very pricey to boot.

Another one of my favorites.

Deja Vu and it's twin Shadowgate.

Didn't care much for the Uninvited though. That was too hard since I always went nuts and died.
