I think Ridge Racer for the DS is a new game, actually... clearly the graphics are based on Ridge Racer 64, but I thought it was new. Perhaps not...

It also has no-light problems.

True, which is why I usually play directly under a lamp. :)

Brian doesn't have one!

Actually, I know plenty of console gaming fans who don't have a PS2 (including most of the active members of the gaming club on campus)... it's not quite THAT common. :)


And yes, both the DS and PSP will have plenty of ports. The DS ones, though, will be a little bit more changed because of the differences of the system... the PSP will just get almost straight ports. DS ones have to be changed at least a little bit. :)

[OB1]

Yeah, like removing the good controls.

[Great Rumbler]

True, which is why I usually play directly under a lamp.

That kind of makes it hard to take the GBA to other places...which is what you're supposed to do with it. Because it's a handheld. A handheld that you take places. Places that don't have lamps. Like outside your house. That place that you don't go. With your GBA.

[OB1]

Brian never leaves his house.

[Great Rumbler]

I know.

[OB1]

He's like Bert and Ernie.

Or is it Burt, like Burt Reynolds.

[Great Rumbler]

Well, Burt Reynolds did go outside to film some of his movies. So...

[A Black Falcon]

Outside is where I go to get from one place to another. Which, given that I am in school (well unless it's like now and it's break and I'm at home), means I have to walk to classes, the commons, etc... so I am outside. Just not without the purpose of getting somewhere. :)

[Great Rumbler]

:shake:

[OB1]

Maine must really be ugly as hell.

[Great Rumbler]

Maybe ABF's a vampire or possibly someother other-wordly entity that's afraid of sunlight [i.e. basement-loving nerd]?

[OB1]

Or both!!!

[Great Rumbler]

We can't discount anything at this point.

[A Black Falcon]

I am just of the opinion that there is nothing intresting to spend my time doing outside...

[Great Rumbler]

[Dark Jaguar]

*in a whiny voice* Well actually where I live we don't HAVE basements because the water table is too high.

Other people: For some reason even though that WAS informative and somewhat related to the topic we want to kill you for saying that.

[Great Rumbler]

I don't have a basement either or even a cellar.

[A Black Falcon]

We have a basement at home, but there isn't much there worth visiting it for so I don't go down there that often except to do laundry...

[Great Rumbler]

What's so great about basements anyway? Aside from the obvious: shelter from tornados.

[A Black Falcon]

Well, the most obvious reason is to have more space in your house... more rooms, more places to put things, a good place for things like laundry machines, workroom, etc...

[Great Rumbler]

No, I mean why do nerds always live in basements? It can't be healthy.

[A Black Falcon]

Because it's supposedly where their parents put them after they graduate... oh I don't know, it is a strange stereotype isn't it...

[OB1]

It's pretty much true, though.

[Great Rumbler]

But what if the parents don't have a basement?

[OB1]

...

Then you have to live in a hole in the ground.

[A Black Falcon]

Then you dig one!

[Great Rumbler]

But what if...what if your house was built on a giant parking lot?

[OB1]

YOU do it! I don't want no crummy hole!
