Holy crap. If capcom keeps putting out stuff this polished, I may have to break down and buy a psp. /

Damn you for having the money to do almost exactly what I wanted to do before Oblivion came out. Oh and uhh, nice rig.

Eh, I remember a day when I didn't know what a .rar file was. I have a pretty good memory though, and there was no google then. I could, however, have told you how to use pkunzip left right and backwards.

I saw this a few weeks ago. Would have been more amusing if it was about half as long. He was taxing my suspension of disbelief a little too much by about half way through. But yes, german is the best language to yell in.

To be fair, I didn't play too many PS1 games with the analog sticks anyway. I didn't even own a dualshock until I got a ps2, actually. So the analog stick isn't the most pressing issue for me, it's those dang buttons. But I'm sure they'll port things appropriately. That they're doing it at all is pretty cool. But... PSP SP, damnit.

Yeah, lack of buttons and a stick would seem to be an issue. I'm sure there are a lot of games for which it won't be a huge deal, but its a hell of a setback for plenty of titles. PSPSP maybe?

WTF is up with that? you have to have a HDD mandatory, but we might not include one with every ps3 bundle?!?!? at least MS made the Hdd optional. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, this is odd. My best guess is that they're going for more of a media-center approach. The box will have some use other than games even without the hard drive (home theatre, etc). If you want to play games (or run a "server," whatever that means, etc), you'll have to get an HDD, which they might sell in a variety of flavors for different levels of user (they said it will be "upgradeable"). This is wild speculation, of course, but it sounds preferable to having vastly different versions of the console on the market, as MS has talked about. Not packaging the HDD with the system solves this problem: I know I want a PS3 and I want a 120GB HDD in it. They've decided to package a 60GB drive with the system. Now I have to buy the 120GB seperately and hope I can pawn the 60GB on eBay.

It would be better if he wasn't obviously just trying to throw the word in everywhere he could. Still highly amusing though.

I had the pleasure of seeing something much like this live a few years ago. It was a bunch of voice actors, including the voices of most of the Animaniacs (Yakko, Wakko, The Brain, and the many other characters they played between the three of them), Ren & Stimpy, and more, plus Mark Hammil and freakin' Gary Owens. I don't think any of them did less than 3 voices off the top of their heads, and the guy that did Yakko was able to recite the entire country song from memory. Mark Hammil was filming a movie with all these people (Comic Book: The Movie.. Unfortunately, it sucks bad) and needed a crowd scene. Between cuts, the voice actors entertained the volunteer crowd. It was a riot.

Samurai Champloo - Departure OST - The Space Between Two Worlds

That's great. The chuck norris things are humorous, but there's something artful about hearing him say them. And Jackie Chan has always been my favorite too. You can argue for days about who is the better fighter, and chances are that he wouldn't be the popular vote, but Chan has always been the best entertainer of the popular martial arts stars imo.

Should have gone with Steam. Steam feels a little bit intrusive, but it's a hell of a lot better, and more effective, than Starforce. Someone should make a Steam-like service that doesn't feel bloaty like Steam does. Has anyone actually played this game? Is it any good?

Chuck Norris is a pretty goofy looking dude to begin with, but with that beastman chesthair and Lee dancing circles around him he just looks worse than ever. This is from Revenge of the Dragon, right? I dig Jacky Bryant's D+K+G action from Lee (well, lee's that jacky borrowed).

The production value on that 9dragons video is ridiculously good, all things considered. The art style reminds me a lot of Dynasty Warriors, but looks a little more generic. Can't really say if it looks good or not until there's some semblance of gameplay, but the idea is interesting. The styling on bots reminds me of gunbound. I might check that out just for the hell of it.

Samurai Champloo OST - Impression - Silver Morning The show is outshined by its OSTs.

Secret of Mana. Ogre Battle and FFII(US) for the runner ups. For some reason, I can't think of any action titles that I really liked, though I'm sure there had to be some.

Kindness? Around here? Am I at the right forum? Thanks all.

Practically speaking, as most of you have pointed out, this is kind of lame. It's cost-prohibitive, probably not that comfortable, and bested by a number of other existing, equally expensive, setups. As a stupid-nerd-trick to wow your dorky friends with, like putting neon in your pc case or building a trebuchet in your backyard, this is pretty freakin' cool.

I want to say I've heard good things about Geil memory, but I don't remember 100%. I recently got one of those Seagate USB puck drives. 5gb for ~$90 on Amazon. It's slow compared to a memstick, and a little bigger, but it holds all my stuff and I just toss it in my backpack anyway. The cord is a little short, but that's not usually a problem. Plus, it fits perfectly in an altoids citrus tin: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-...index=0#gallery

You didn't specifically say you *missed* me, so I'm just going to assume your thoughts weren't "Dang, I'm glad he's absent!" Did I miss anything interesting?

Isn't that called a tablet pc by anyone but microsoft? Looks like a specialized software suite for a slightly (slightly) smaller tablet. I hate to be cliche, but I don't know that I'd trust MS with a proprietary software suite on that kind of hardware.

Woah, cool! Congrats GC and Sypherce! Now my other nerdly friends might have an inkling of what I'm talking about when I inadvertently refer to 1emu.

I prefer anandtech to Tom's Hardware, but their reviews come in bursts that aren't always useful for making purchasing decisions.

I'm not really new but I'm going to try and return as a regular, school permitting. So uhh.. hi. again.

I had no hope for FFXII until hearing this. The character art has been kind of a turn-off, and FFTA was just boring enough that the thematic connection lost my interest completely. (and I loved FFT, btw) Hearing this though, my interest is piqued again.
