(see subject) . . . I sit the length of the PS2 cord... about 10 feet, so that I can play games and watch TV at the same time.

I don't mind cartoonish graphics. After all, the original Pitfall and Pitfall 2 game booklets were filled with lots of humor. And I liked the appearance of Zelda: Wind Waker and Kingdom Hearts. What I object to is: HARRY LOOKS LIKE A GOOFBALL. Couldn't they at least *try* to make him look human? i.e. More like this:

Riiight. But then again, charging $19.99 for Mario Kart 64 is a rip. And used too.

I hold my joystick the same as the Activision guys, except I wrap my right hand around the stick. I get better "feeling" that way.

I like this idea best. It seems appropriate to have the Atari advertise itself... like those old kiosks in stores.

Yes. You started the fight with your bitchy insult. And I'm ending it. (walks away)

The only game that bothered me was Pitfall 3D. That's because the camera swings back-and-forth like it's on a rope!!! Dumb. For other games, I keep my attention focused on the character. He/she stays rock-solid in the center of the screen, so I avoid getting dizzy. I've heard others complain about this, but I don't understand it. If the bulb is flickering at 60 Hz and the screen is flickering at 60 Hz, then they are in frequency sync with one another. No Problems.

Ironic? Not really. It's just stupidity/laziness. It's stupid to let your kids watch violent/sexual stuff on television, and it's laziness to demand the government "do something" when all you need to do is click OFF on the box. Personal Responsibility. Learn it. Do it. Hey Cleopatra: Vice City has an ***Mature*** rating on it. You should have known not to let your kid touch it. DUH.

Exactly. You don't know. So you're criticizing me from a position of TOTAL IGNORANCE. Stupido. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You're a troll. You go around goading people just to pick fights. Like my 3-yr-old nephew. Sad.

As we used to say in the 80's: "DUH. You're really stupid." Look: I covered both systems that I own.

Is that FF2 on the Original or the Super Nintendo?

The latter. EDIT: Here's the attitude I was talking about: Well that's just dumb. PS2 games like Ratchet & Clank/Kingdom Hearts/Gran Turismo are just as much fun as Mario/Zelda/Fzero. From my point of view (a fan of nothing) Nintendo and Sony games are essentially *THE SAME IN FUN.* Only a fanboy would try and say otherwise. Actually, fanboys are a lot like religious zealots. They assume their Religion is superior to everyone else's. Christians hate Muslims. Muslims hate Jews. And Jews hate Christians. I see a lot of the same hatred in the gaming world, and that attitude makes me sick.

Some of these I did not see until FF 10-2 came out (because you have to fight them). It's weird being attacked by the aeons instead of using them. But anyway, I thought Magus Sisters were lame. They didn't look the least bit scary to me. Anima was too scary to look at, and Yojimbo was annoying to control. Overall, I liked Bahamut the most. I've always liked him in the previous incarnations, because he has so much power and beautiful attacks. Valefor was the best-looking. I wish he caused more damage.

(7) People who join into a fighting game *without asking first*. Here I am, trying for the hundredth time to reach the last level, and I just spent upwards of 20 dollars to reach level 9, and I'm almost there!!! Whoopee! And then some dickhead comes along and ruins it. It's RUDE. Like butting in line. Now if you ask, then fine, I'll probably let you join. (Or else have a mini-competition after I've beat Soul Edge into hell.) But not asking just makes you an ASSHOLE. Plain and simple. Stop being an ass. USE MANNERS. _______ Fanboys = Religious Zealots. I hate religious zealots, because they lack the ability to think logically and/or unbiased. Ditto Fanboys. Talking to a fanboy is like talking to a wall. They are blinded by their faith. Which goes back to my original comment: "(3) People who can't admit that the sequel is not as good as the original..." That's fanboy blindness. It's sickening.

(takes a puff from cigar) Yes son, I've seen this story many times. Mario's just like marijuana. Sure he looks like a harmless, pudgy, rolly-polly guy, but the next thing you know ya got a craving for the hardcore stuff. You start wandering through seedy joints looking for your next fix. Or worse, picking up hookers in Grand Theft. Yes sir, better to never touch the stuff. Drug... er, game abstinence is the best thing. Just Say No. Or we'll put you in the slammer. (music plays) The More You Know

What are slow pills?

Target used to have bundle packs of both a game and a savecard for $50 (i.e. the savecard was free). I wonder if they still have that awesome bargain?

People who obssessively stalk other people and harrass them. Get a life. (4) Gamers that insult you if you say, "Well, I didn't really like XYZ Game." Just because I don't like something does not mean I'm an "idiot". (5) Collectors that look down on non-collectors as inferior. (6) People that buy your game off ebay, and then mail you a bounced check. Or else *lie* and say the game did not arrive. Or bitch because the game was not sent via overnight. (Corollary: People who want to buy a game, but think any price over $1 is too high for shipping. Am I supposed to go into debt to ship a game???)

Or... remove all references to slavery (basically half the film) from Gone with the Wind.

(see subject) . . . (1) People who own only one console. Inevitably they trash other consoles/games, even though they've never played those other consoles/games. (2) Gamers that say they "want more realism" in games... and then have a fit because there's an exposed breast, or cursing, or alcoholic hero in the game. (3) People who can't admit that the sequel is not as good as the original... and will insult anyone who disagrees. (Corrollary: Gamers that insist all new games are trash, and old 16/32-bit games were perfection.)

You can buy special speakers that are shielded to prevent interference with the TV screen.

Hey now! No need for the personal insults. A good D&D game with friends and role-playing can be a lot of fun. Get some variety in your life.

?????? How would that help? All the arcade buttons are on the RIGHT side of the box. It's built backwards. I too am annoyed with all the left-handed stuff. I want my dominant hand to be controlling the little character on screen.

Not really. The M-rated games are so few as to be virtually nothing. For example, no Grand Theft.

Purchasers of M-rated games should be required to show ID. That way only the parents can buy the game (or not). As for censorship, I consider forcing GT:Vice City to be censored equivalent to requring Birth of the Nation to be censored. I disagree with that, because the makers of these games/movies should have the right to express whatever opinion they wish. And no, I don't consider Schindler's List racist. However in Germany, that movie is censored, because of the Nazi scenes. My point was that it should not be.
