She looks like the kind of gal that would tear a guy's testicles off with her mouth.

It's only 10:45 here. So in 1 hr and 15 minutes. But thanks.

I saw those the other day. I think they're too crappy to be real.

Haha! That movie kickass. But so far my favorite comic book movie is either the original Batman, The Crow, or Sin City. And yes, Drake, Batman is my favorite superhero.

And now they'll own another one to be hip. Nintendo's rehashing may sound like bad policy but it's really good for them business-wise.

Well it's not really padding since the entire gaming industry is more than just the consoles so all hardware sales numbers have to be included. That wasn't a report of just the consoles but entire hardware market share.

I can't wait for Batman! I love Batman. Spiderman 3 should be awesome too. I read that Sam Raimi might stay on to direct all 6 movies. That made me glad and sad at the same time. I want Evil Dead 4 dammit!! X-Men 3 should also be pretty cool. I'd be hard to imagine Kelsey Grammer as a super hero. Superman isn't really exciting me...it could be good though. Ghostrider will probably kick a lot of ass. Ghostrider rules.

Here's an intersting article I read on the state of Nintendo in the gaming business. I didn't know they were still THIS powerful. Even though it's on a Nintendo site, the guy did his research. http://nintendoinsider.com/site/EEEFylpkElFffmiBlr.php

Well the NGC ports are for backwards compatibility. The controllers will be wireless and weird.

And what does this have to do with Nintendo?

Alright, Microsoft cleared up their comments. They do have some sense. God I hate crappy reporting. I was wrong because of them.

Hmm...I'm testing it out right now and I'm not too fond of it. I prefer my Firefox with extensions. Uninstall time.

The general gaming site population is horrifyingly stupid. Luckily we don't have many of those kinds of people.

I got an email about this earlier today. I may take part in it if I can think of something and write it.

Mmm...looks like a nice box of chocolates. Also, here is an interview with Nintendo President Satoru Iwata: http://ngc.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=8255

I see your point. They shouldn't charge for the new XBE but I would not be surprised if that's how they used the Marketplace to download them. The way I see it is that Microsoft my charge a small fee ($1-$5) to download this recompiled XBE because they'll say something like "hey, we recompiled this for you and put it on our servers so we deserve a little compensation." Perhaps they may do it like they are doing with Halo 2 maps, pay some now (what a flocking ripoff that is, just absolutely pathetic) or get it free after a few months. Never underestimate the power of corporate greed. They won't pass up the chance to get money if they feel they can get away with it. Hell, the XBOX took a hit in every financial quarter except one so I think they might try to make up the loss any way they can. That's just me and my mistrust of corporations talking.

Technically speaking, more people play online on the PS2 than on XBOX Live! But it doesn't really matter since I admit that Live! is a great feature for online gaming. Just don't expect Sony to not make anything equally as good since they know they got whipped last round in the "cool and hip" category that Microsoft has down. Oh yeah, and that Killzone 2 video was definitely not real time. I don't think there is anyone who actually believes it is real-time now. If there are then...I'll let them play in their happy dreamworld.

I find those games only to be fun at the arcade since you're in the machine. Otherwise it's just another dull racer.

Hey, Microsoft were the ones that said it'll be backwards compatible with the top titles and that they are going to have to recompile the games to run on the new console. So it seems Microsoft is the one who is being sketchy about this and posing porting as backwards compatibility. That's what it seems like, don't you agree?

Just so you know the CELL processor was built with broadband connection in mind so it will sport some hefty online capabilities.

Woohoo! The console bitchslapping contest starring Sony and Microsoft! Here is an article where Sony disses Xbox 360, or XBOX 1.5 as they like to call it. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/n...ameexpo_sony_dc And here is Microsoft's comeback. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050518/tc_nm/...po_microsoft_dc

XBOX 360 Backwards compatibility explained: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/news.php?aid=8996 I wonder if they'll actually make you pay full price, especially if you have the original copy of the game.

Thanks for that. Yesterday IGN, Gamespot, and GameSpy got a sit down preview and they had impressions. Sounds like a very weird game. And I already have the magazine but thanks for tha offer. Interesting stuff, hope you're having a blast. You got a nice batch of stuff. The Fatal Fury hat is cool.
