According to Gaming-Age:

Quote:Following the PSP showing at the recent GDC, Sony has announced that the PSP's release is being pushed up. PSP will now launch in Japan around late July, with a North American and European launch occuring in early August.
This news, however shocking, is not unexpected. The PSP was first shown to the public last week during the Game Developer's Conference. Apperantly, the showing was so impressive that several publishers jumped on the PSP bandwagon immediately.

According to our sources, the PSP is similar to the PS2 in terms of programming, so expect a good number of PS2 titles to be either moved or ported to the PSP around launch. It is said that users will be able to download their PS2 saved game to the PSP for use in the PSP version of the title, and vice versa.

Due to this overwhelming support, Sony has decided that it can successfully launch the PSP in August with a set of quality launch titles.

Death Jr., a platformer in the veign of Crash Bandicoot, will be Sony's big launch title. Additionally, EA Sports has confirmed to be packaging a PSP version of Madden 2005 with the PS2 version in a promotional effort. Users will be able to download their PS2 saved game to the PSP for use in the PSP version of the title, and vice versa. Rockstar is likely planning a Grand Theft Auto title, but when asked, a company representative suggestively replied, "wait for E3." There are reports of Koei developing a new Dynasty Warriors game for the portable, as well, though Koei representives had not returned our calls as of press time.

Stay tuned for the latest information on the PSP's impending release. Expect more specific details at next month's E3.

P.S
I hate pink

Problem: I have two computers. One a Dell I purchased a few years ago, the second is home built. All my software (like Microsoft Word) came with my Dell computer when I purchased it. However, the software won't install on any non-Dell computer, which sucks because I paid for the software, why shouldn't I be able to use it on both computers?

So, what I'm asking is this. Does anybody know a way around this, or want to IM me to discuss "other" methods of getting Microsoft Word on my second computer? I really can't afford to go buy another copy from the store, unless it was less than $50.

...stupid Dell...

It's April Fools Day, but nobody has mangled the boards to shit! What gives?

Hello, I'm Spiro T. Agnew. You may know me as the former vice president under President Nixon, but now I have my own show. It's a show about people, but not just any kind of people. Oh no, this show is about people who do things. Doers, we call this people. Doers of things. Great Rumbler is one such person. He is a doer of things. A great many things in fact. Some of these things even count as mundane, although most are simply things that one could reasonably expect by even the most ordinary of automaton. But that is neither here nor there nor, as some have even speculated, underwear.

Great Rumbler...comic artist...poster of nonsense...and all-around doer of things. This is his story.

Born in Spoonbill, Massachussets, on February 31st 19 and 58, Great Rumbler was an ordinary young boy. He exhibited no special traits and simply was. Our story would have ended here had it not been for that one fateful night. It was June 38th of the year 1976 and Great Rumbler was on his way home from school. It was raining heavily that day and lightening was flashing all around. Suddenly, Great Rumbler was struck by a bolt of lightening. It was no ordinary lightening, however, it was the lightening of the magical fairie people who lived on East-South Main Street and who never paid the water bills and were a general annoyance to their neighbors. Upon being struck by the lightening, Great Rumbler was transformed into Gregory Hynes, lord of all evil and even things that are only partially evil and could possibly only be considered annoying. And you know this little pop-ups you get while surfing the internet that you can't close them untill they load all the way? He was lord of those too.

Great Rumbler, however, did not desire this evil power. He instead used it for the betterment of mankind in the only way he knew how, utter nonsensical insanity of the highest degree of crazy. From that day forward Great Rumbler would use his powers at various forums, spreading his message of universal harmony through shared apprehension of that one kid who always sits in the darkest corner of the classroom and always mumbles.

3 years later Great Rumbler used his powers to create the comic that would spawn an internet phenomenon: The TC Ava-Comcs. From that day on Great Rumbler would be known throughout the internet as "The one who makes those comic that are the funniest thing I have ever seen".

Sadly, Great Rumbler's career was cut short when, in his 22nd year of life, he was struck down by writer's block. The disease absolutely devastated him and he could no longer use his powers. Eventually he was forced to flee as the members of the forum, angered by the absense of their beloved comics, stormed his moutain fortress in Quebec and demanded he create more.

No one knows what happened to Great Rumbler after that. Some say he found the Fountain of Youth and lives forever in the land of unicorns and holly berries, others say that he discovered his soul-mate in a rundown automotive factory and that he lives out the rest of his days with his wife in the mountains of eastern Pakistan.

But whatever happened to this creative and utterly insane man one thing is sure, Great Rumbler, the man who made us laugh, will live on forever in our hearts.

This has been Spiro T. Agnew reporting. Good night, everyone.

Pick and discuss.

Which one????!!!
