[QUOTE=James][font=franklin gothic medium][color=#808080]The name comes from the idea of "putting the gamer in the center" (of the Xbox universe). I'm not sure how you came to your second conclusion, lol. How is it that Xbox 360 will hurt their gaming division more than the original system? I can understand that logic if you're talking about something like manufacturing cost (even though we don't know what the retail price will be yet). But your comment about non-Xboxers not buying Xbox 360 makes little sense for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, Xbox 360 will be the first next generation system to launch. A lot of early adopters are going to have an interest in that. Secondly - and partly due to the slump in the Japanese market during the last four years - quite a few Japanese studios are going to be supporting the new system from day one. This is noteable for two reasons. Firstly, it means that they acknowledge the weakness in the Japanese market and therefore, they're building games that will have broader appeal (ie: games that will help to generate sales in western markets). But also, their support will help to put Xbox 360 in a much better position at launch (in Japan). If you look at everything from Xbox Live, to the added functionality, to the actual raw design, you have a system that is obviously being aimed at a more mainstream consumer than the previous model. I don't know how anyone can say that people who avoided Xbox will avoid Xbox 360. I don't know what you're basing that assumption on.[/color][/font][/QUOTE] Yes, the comment on hurting the game division was based on manufacturing cost. Here are a few consumer groups that wont buy xbox: 1 Hardcore Sony (those that refuse anything else) 2 Hardcore Nintendo (those that refuse anything else) 3 Casual gamers(whom 360 is targeting) that were at all put off by xbox 4 People in general that were put off by xbox that don't necessarily follow industry news. 5 Parents(a very significant group). Most I've seen bought xbox last if at all simply because Nintendo and Playstation are household names. 6 Graphic nuts(the early adopters of xbox)

This is how sex-ed should be taught: 1. Explain to the children that they will probably have sex. 2. Show them every method of birth control and tell them that the more you use the better. 3. Send them on their merry little way. Seriously, 99.9% of people taught to be abstinent will not be abstinent.

With the large amounts of data that will be going through the servers of online companies I can't see the possibility of online play being free. The only free service will be XBOX Live Gold, Which you cannot play games with.

I doubt resizing will help since she probably wants it to be a specific size. I would sharpen it manually in paint. It does wonders.

[QUOTE=Chabichou][COLOR=#004a6f]I personally like to use an mp3 for my page, but this takes up quite a bit of bandwidth. It shouldn't be a problem though, considering that not everyone plays the music anyway. However, the music is automatically downloaded simply when one visits my page, even if they don't turn on the music. This really hurts my bandwidth limit. Is their a way to stop the music from being downloaded before it is turned on? Edit: Oh and can you please let the midi player work for wmv files? The midi button doesn't even show up when I try this.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] Convert the files using [URL=http://www.imtoo.com/mpeg-encoder.html]this.[/URL]

It's simply because women are "inconsistent". Men don't have the same issues. But I do believe women should be on the front lines. If you can use a gun then why the hell not?

[QUOTE=Purple Haze] Next they hardly even powered up the system. He pluged it up and that was that. No on screen visuals, like the start up logo or even the menu screen. Now the worst thing about this is that they showed no controller. That's the main thing that everyone has been guessing and getting excited about but they show us nothing. they might just be trying to keep us guessing but, come on Nintendo you want us to buy all this stuff but you ain't showin us nothin. Nintendo needs to come out of the closet with the Revolutionand don't pull any last minute chqnges. I love my Nintendo but their some of their uniqueness and secretiveness is gonna put a end to them.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE] Powering on the system means nothing. It's over a year away, and they aren't done with it. Some people forget that E3 isn't the only gaming event. TGS is another place where nintendo likes to reveal things. Microsoft and Sony will have only games for that show. Everything else was told now. Uniqueness is what makes a console survive. Would you buy two consoles that were identical?

Hair color : brunette preferably, but it really doesn't matter Eye : doesn't matter Race : White Body : Cute face is a must. Being slender is big, and being built doesn't hurt either. Tatoos/Piercing : anything beyond the ear...no. Dress : anything besides 24/7 black Personality : Fun and funny. Doing cute little stuff like sticking her tongue out and just generally being fun to be around helps. Religion : Doesn't matter.

I think Sony is shooting themselves in the foot with this one. The whole reason PS2 keeps getting developers is because everyone has one. If sony drops to even second for a few months in this upcoming race, a substantial chunk of the developers will move to something else.

Animal Crossing DS tops Just the thought of playing over wifi and downloading patterns makes me want to play it. Second would be the New Ratchet and clank game, just because the others were so good. I'm going to play UYA online as soon as I'm done here. I have to say, though, that I am very skeptical of Perfect Dark Zero. Rare isn't what it was 5 years ago, with many of the people leaving. Have you played Grabbed by the Ghoulies?

I think I know why Microsoft has named it 360. They are taking a completely different aproach: XBox was all about the power, and this one isn't all about the power (obviously). This will most likely hurt Microsoft's game division even more than XBox did, as people that didn't buy Xbox probably won't buy 360, and 360 doesn't cater to the current xbox crowd.

I'm glad Fort Knox isn't closing down. Without the base, that place would be a ghost town. It's somewhat cool being close to a place that has 6000 bps guns, heh.

[quote name='vegeta rocker']Not to preach or anything but its God's will that stuff like that not go on. Anybody i know who has gone against god in this way has had a lot of trouble. It just isn't meant to happen.[/quote] Though I am not a theist, I am well versed in christianity. Wouldn't the children of Adam and Eve be guilty of incest? After having children, there would be only immediate family members to all. The sons had do have sex with someone, mother or sister.

I'd say the biggest reason for the loss of some wit is the death of Phil Hartman, who was instrumental in the simpson's success. I'd still say that the show is nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be. The simpsons is still fun because it is random in different ways. Sometimes random jokes, sometimes random plots, sometimes just funny conversations. The simpsons isn't a bad mouthed pleasure or a wacky comedy, it's just [I]The Simpson's[/I].

[quote name='x kakashi x']of course tetris was rated high in competition, its old school, people love and respect all the old games, mario, contra, metroid, all classics that people still love. And you can love it as much as you want, but that doesn't make it a worth while game. Its addicting at first, as I said before, but its the same thing over and over again. Back then it was the thing because they had nothing better. But with all the gaming advances we've made theres just no reason to sit down and play tetris, it has become obsolete. Now I'm not referring to all older games when I say this. I love mario and I still play it all the time, but at least theres a plot for god sakes, tetris is just random block placement, c'mon.[/quote] You are officially the only person to call tetris boring. According to your logic, the only game you should be playing is haven(yuck). In mario, you jump and run a lot. Is this not the same?

[quote name='Sea Of Chaos666']The one Sequel I hated most was The Secret of NIMH 2. I hated the 2nd movie but loved the frist. The Secret of NIMH was and still is my favorite Movie, But the Sequel almost made me want to throw up!! :mad:[/quote] The secret of nimh was terrible. Mrs. Frisby and the rats of nimh(upon which the secret of nimh is based) blows the movie out of the water. After reading the book, you will realize how thin and rushed the plot really is. I think everyone over analyes the matrix sequels. Why is it so difficult for people to just watch a movie and think about what it is, not what it's not?

[quote name='Havokio']Love is NEVER justified by (for reasons of)appearance. Period.[/quote] It is very possible to love someone partly for their appearance. It's all a part of human nature. Think about it. Would you rather be with a beautiful nice girl/guy or an ugly nice girl/guy?

I actually nearly laugh at thinking that I would commit suicide. If I was so far into the dumps that I thought no one cared about me, I would probably steal some money and a car and get away. Far away. I'd probably drive the 25 miles to Fort Knox and hang out there for a while. They have a bowling alley that's great for relieving stress. I'm not the type to do that sort of thing(I haven't broken the law since I was 50, but it seems to be a much better outlet than suicide. By the time I think no one cares about me, I'd have given up on the world, so I wouldn't care about taking things to get by. The world would be the problem, not me.

The death penalty is right. I know of a man that would kill, go to jail, and then break out and kill again. He did so multiple times, and couldn't be stopped. He deserved to die for his actions.

I'd say the chances are about nil. We haven't had the event since 2003 and Shy seems to be revamping a lot of events.

The fact that the temperature is rising is an average. It might be colder where you live, but that is what we call a fluke(I watch too much college basketball). Also, I doubt Canada has enough CO2 to fill up the atmosphere around it. This is more of an issue in places where the ratio of vehicles to land is a lot smaller like Europe and East asia.

Animal Crossing. I bought it when it came out (Sep. 02) and didn't slow down until March 03. It still gets me to this day (as I'm sure ACDS will).

[quote name='Alchemist']I have a DS now and it is just limited to games and pictochat. Dont get me wrong it kicks it, but the psp has so much more. I can now upload anime episode from my pc to my PSP and watch them on the go. Also there are a lot of sweet games coming out for it. Ape Escape, Armored Core, and MGS(even if its a card game).[/quote] Oh please. Do you know how much anime will fit on the 32mb card that is a pack-in? 1 whole episode. Congradulations. Have you even played ape escape. It uses a funtion called dual sticks that the psp just doesn't have. No set of buttons can replace analog. For $100 you could get a portable dvd player and watch all the anime you want and not deal with those expensive cards.
