  1. Indeeeeeed. Only first party hardware for me.
  2. Season of Mists, and it really isn't all that close. Unlike a lot The Sandman's other stories, Mists' story moved at a pretty steady pace. Just a better read, in my opinion, than the rest of the series.
  3. I'm hoping for... -Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2) -Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (PS2) -Jak and Daxter (PS2) -Ghost Recon 2 (Xbox) -Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2) -Tony Hawk's Underground (the original - PS2) -Final Fantasy X-2 (now that it's under twenty bucks - PS2) -Sonic Advance (GameBoy Advance) -Suikoden III (PS2) -Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube)
  4. Think Mark Hammill will return to reprise his role from the TV series?
  5. Florida doesn't really count as the South, so I can't speak on Southern deep-fried foods. But this story makes me laugh. Those motherfuckers will throw ANYTHING into a fryer!
  6. If Goldy-Claus could land a punch, I think the fight would be over. But Vick would run circles around him and do all those weird flippy moves he does in the "Vick Experience" commercial to win.

    Halo 2 clan

    Yoda's had an invite sitting in his box since a couple days after the game was released...
  8. Sorry guys. I totally forgot about this thread.
  9. If they use the same voice for Cloud they used for the English Kingdom Hearts, I'll have no problem with it. I was really pleasantly surprised by the way the voices for he and Squall matched what I had in my head for them.
  10. Actually, I'm thinking it was on Capcom's end. Mainly because the only fix Sony issued for the problem was to simply remove the VJ2 demo from the disc and resume shipping them. I got my (non-Joe) winter sampler in the mail the other day, but I wouldn't load it up without removing my memory cards anyway. It's something that would get caught in testing, yes, IF it were a complete game. This is a demo, a work in progress.
  11. I can't believe "Ultimate" books have been running for six years. Speaking of which, I need to quit dilly-dallying and cancel my Ultimate X-Men subscription. That book's making me sad.
  12. Y's game? I think he means "Wanderers from Ys"
  13. Also, go play Katamari Damacy. It has no story (well, NEXT TO no story) and the graphics aren't anything beyond what I'd expect out of the Dreamcast, but the very idea of it is freaking awesome.
  14. Actually, I think graphics have been de-emphasized pretty heavily with this generation of consoles. With the jump from PSone to PS2, for example, came not just incredibly improved graphics but also an amazing leap in games' depth and the kind of freedom they offer players. Compare Metal Gear Solid, one of the deepest games on the PS1, with its cousin, MGS2 on the PS2. The amount of objects you can interact with, zones you can enter, details you can pick out, etc... they're on a completely different level than the original. Grand Theft Auto's an even better example. Can you imagine them trying anything like San Andreas on the PS1? It'd take up fourteen discs and you still wouldn't be able to do half the things you can do now. Anyway, I agree with your point on the whole. I'm just saying it wouldn't be as sudden a development as you think. The seeds are planed right now.
  15. The screenshots reveal it's a top-down, old style GTA, not a 3D game like the newer titles in the series. Not that it'll be bad, just don't expect San Andreas.

    Fable

    I've got it, and I'm really enjoying it thus far. A lot more freedom than was allowed to you, even in KOTOR, and it's so much fun running the dark path. I love completing a mission for a NPC, taking his money, then punching him in the face and taking his head off with an arrow. Also, I'm pleased to announce that after losing a great deal of money to a guy in Blackjack, I slaughtered him for his deeds. I also killed an old woman as she prayed next to her bed.

    Invader Zim

    I thought it was Jhonen's decision to quit producing Zim, and not Nickelodeon's... Regardless, "Parent Teacher Night" is one of the funniest cartoons ever made. "Honey... is it...?" "Yep.... DIARRHEA!!"
  18. Big spoiler: Luke makes a guest appearance in EP III and reveals that he is Anakin's father!

    Fable

    I should be getting this in the mail within a couple weeks. I'll check back in if and when it arrives.

    Donkey Konga

    At a glance, it reminds me a lot of Samba de Amigo, which is one of my favorite games of all time. I can't imagine they'd have a better track listing on Konga than they did on Amigo, though. In case you're unaware, Samba was a Dreamcast game using maraca controllers. You shook and positioned the maracas in time with the music. I never bought the maraca controllers, because it was fun as hell with the standard pad.
  21. If you find a dealer willing to pay that much for that book, let me know. I seriously doubt it'll move. Ghost Rider 2099 was decent, if just for Chris Bachalo's art...
  22. Ha, one of the weapons is called the "Crucifier." I'm surprised none of the old Learning Tree games on Genesis and NES tried that. Looks interesting, at the very least. drq
  23. I usually go through Final Fantasies once without the guide and once again with.
