Just imagine a world where investors can sue companies because they didn't try to screw over enough people. Is that the sort of morality the law is meant to protect?

....without the cat.

More experiments are needed. Let's try it with just removing Garfield's thought bubbles, or maybe Jon, or no cat but the thought bubbles remain... pointing at Jon.

"it's better than that fat kid with the lightsaber"

Well Joystiq sure are impressed, but me? Not... as impressed. Really data can take any form you want, and a series of noises is one of them.

My main issue is the question of why bother? The DS has wi-fi, which I would imagine could transfer it more reliably, at greater distance, and possibly more quickly than this ever will. The sound can't be pleasent to listen to so that can't be it. It seems like a gimic for gimic's sake.

PH2 recently showed up on the VC, last week I believe, and I just yesterday decided to pick it up and give it another try. I'd played it some years earlier on the Genesis, but I never really got very far in it. The biggest reason is that it has a rather steep learning curve, particularly if you don't have an instruction manual. But also because of the way it is designed, having very difficult to navigate menus, items that don't tell you what they do until you equip them, a overworld that is difficult on starting levels, and other reasons.

On the other hand, it has really good music, an interesting scifi setting and storyline, and good-for-their-time graphics. Plus, it's still a fun game to play.

It's worth $8.

I decided to remix some sheet music.
Let me know what you think!

Megadriver, they seem cool. I just happened to have one of their song in my gigasized collection of music and found out one of them reformed his old sega(16bit) into a freaking guitar!!! and now I want one!
