Quote:According to Gamers.com, the online extension of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the next issue of EGM will feature the first-ever information on Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III, Factor 5's newest game. LucasArts will be the publisher, of course. The website offers no further information except that the game will debut at E3 in May.
We'll know more when the new issue of EGM arrives...
I was hoping for a more original game, but with some huge updates a new Rogue Squadron game could be pretty fun.
According to Videogames.com, the long-anticipated Wind Waker is only a 9.3...compared to Ocarina of Time, which was a perfect 10, GoldenEye a 9.8, and Perfect Dark a 9.9 ... does this bother anyone else...? I'm a little more uneasy now that perhaps it won't be as good as hyped.
Well ABF, I've read up on a port of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance to PC. Since it seems it's the only way you will ever get to play it short of getting another current gen console, I highly suggest it. A few notes. It seems the min install size is about 3 gigs and the max install size is about 7 gigs. I mean, really, I'm getting sick of games that just won't use the swap file or get optimized so taking data from the disk is perfectly doable... Anyway, as a result of the massive size of the game, they are only releasing it on DVD. As far as I can remember, this is the first big name PC game that is ONLY on DVD, which is a good start anyway. Hopefully this will result in more DVD drive sales (they are less than the price of a game now), and that will result in more games made exclusivly on DVD on PC. I'm really getting sick of all the compression they are doing on CDs just to get it all on one disk (and often that's not enough). As far as I know, it has no exclusive extras compaired to the PS2 version of Substance though.
What the hell is this...? I want you all to know that this is most certainly NOT affiliated with the real me, nor the Goron Imperial Empire. Who ever this is is an imposter! I came across it while searching for an avatar.
Thank God that I called Best Buy and asked someone to hold a unit for me for a half hour otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it. They sold all 40 or so systems within the first 20 minutes of the store opening. So... on to my impressions (if anyone cares).
It's so cute and sexy! I got the metallic blue one because I read reports about the paint being scratched off easily on the platinum SP and that games look better against a dark background than asilver one. The buttons are flatter and more clicky than the regular GBA ones, and the shoulder buttons do feel awkward for the first fifteen minutes or so of play. But overall it feels just fine, although I still like the feel of the regular one a tiny bit more because it's wider. Now the light... the light is fantastic. It's true that the colors do get a bit washed out when it's on, but it's a very small price to play for great illumination. The tint isn't as blue-ish as the Afterburner, but if you had no problems with the Afterburner then you'll fall in love with this. I really love the fact that I don't have to have a twenty pound (slight exaggeration) light attached to my GBA anymore (anyone want it? It's a flood light--great, but heavy light attachment), so now I can play the system while lying on my back! Oh the joys of laziness! I'm also really, really happy about the recharchable battery. Now I don't have to spend a hundred dollars on batteries every year!
So overall, this is a great system. It may take some time adjusting to the new layout, but there's no going back for me. Highly reccomended.
This is a random pointless question, but aren't those the best? How many currently active email addresses do you have? To be fair, I will say I have 4, although it could technically be considered 7. See, I have a school address that can be sent to any of the 4 Unix servers CS students have access to, but I'll only count that as 1. I had a couple more in Ye Old Rumble City days thanks to PK and Epollna, but I let those die away. And in truth all my other addresses are just forwards to my main account. But it still sounds cool, er maybe not. :)
