Uh, I'm not sure what others there are, so let me know if I'm missing something and it makes you very angry.
My choice is Opera. I was using IE until a couple weeks ago when a friend told me about Opera, and it's fantastic! It's very power-user-friendly as there are tons of really cool options and tweaks for it. It has tabbed browsing which is in fact very cool, but the best part is the moust gestures and keyboard controls.
Mouse gestures are ways to control the web page just with various clicks and mouse motions. You can go back by clicking <right left> anywhere on the page, and forward with <left right>. You can close a page by right clicking and moving the mouse down, then right quickly. It makes it real easy to kill pop-ups. Or you can refresh with Right click, then moving up and down. There are so many different gestures like that, and it does take a little while to get used to it. But once you do you get hooked.
It also has complete keyboard control, so that you can do everything without a mouse! That's pretty extreme, but there are a couple nice keyboard things that speed you up. My favorite is pressing Z to go back and X to go forward- it's even quicker than mouse gestures.
Oh, and one nice thing I've found is that the plug-ins (like flash or java) actually install and work, unlike the Mozilla Firebird ones I've tried.
And of course there are plenty of cool skins, and it's free (with a little banner add at the top right corner of the screen), and very, very fast. Opera is the best browser I've used and I am even considering buying the full version to reward the programmers who made such a fine product.
Quote:December 16, 2003 - The GameCube can do online games, but alas, Nintendo sees no market for it, and does not create first-party online titles. The reason for the lack of a market? Because no one makes online-enabled games. Catch 22. So, therefore, it is good to see Ubi Soft take a brave step forward, and announce that Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow will be playable, online, with the GameCube broadband adapter.
Lots of exclamation marks can be found on either G-Cube or Cube Europe. Thanks R-Z.
Since you changed your birthday at N-Philes I'm pretty sure I have it right this year. You're one year away from buying porn, cigarettes, and lotto tickets! I'm sure someone will come by with a nice birthday picture for you later.

Tales of Symphonia, developed by Namco, is the first 3D installment in the long-running 'Tales' RPG series. While never immensely popular over here, only 2 have been released in America, they have always been a success in Japan. Tales of Symphonia has seen great Japanese sales, including 200,000 on its first day available. Nintendo recently posted that Tales of Symphonia is due for release June 30, 2004.
In Symphonia you take control of Lloyd, who has set out to restore prosperity to his world. You soon discover that Lloyd's world is mysteriously linked to another, whose future seems to be the exact opposite of his own. But the only way to save his own world is destroy the other...
For more information, including screens and other media, please see our previous coverage of the game.

Following the recent trend it seems the stateside release of King of Fighters 2000/2001 for the PS2 has been censored. Content purportedly removed includes blood, guns and Mai’s jiggling jugs. One can only assume that SNK Japan fears the US can no longer deal with such mature themes. It warrents mention that several of the past KOF releases have been censored as well, such as KOF 99 for the Dreamcast.
Click. And look at the pics (stupid N-Philes and their broken link images!).
Hmm... so now we've got MM1-8, 1-5GB, 9 for GBA... what's next? MMX1-3? MMX1-6? Something with the two GBC MMX games? Who knows, except for the fact that Capcom is pushing out MM games about five times a year recently...
Oh yeah...
Quote:Mega Man Mania, for those of you who don't know, is a collection of the five original GameBoy games. The games have been redone in vibrant color, and includes an art gallery, as well as some Mega Man history. Capcom has announced a release date of March 23rd, 2004.
They look great colorized. But given the EXTREME rarity of MM3-5 for GB, even if it was just the B&W versions it'd be very well worth getting...
