E-Day

Looks like there won't be a PS2 version. That's good. Just let the system die already. I am looking forward to this game. The original was great, so playing through the new levels, and the old ones with new objectives will be fun. As will the 4th movie even though that movie was rather lame. Now I just need to decide if I should buy it on the Wii or the 360. I didn't really use the whipping motion control in the first one, so maybe for the 360 to get some HD eye candy. Or maybe whichever one is cheaper.

Definitely no. Once you start making money from copying work that does not belong to you, you can get into a heap of trouble.

They finally relised they can't make a good game anymore, so they are going back to their tried and true games. Smartest thing they've done in a while.

Anything but print form would be useless. I read magazines to get away from the computer. And with Steve Harris back in charge, maybe the magazine won't suck smelly butt anymore and will go back to being Electronic Gaming Monthly on the cover and not EGM.

Keep dreaming. They are doing too well as a publisher, putting out games on 5 consoles and the iPhone (and god knows what else), to go back to restricting themselves to one system. Although, I am sure they games would improve a great deal if they were for their machine. Like in the old days. Nowadays, Sega is a simple run-of-the-mill publisher, churning out stuff that's not that great, but still sells. Plus 4 consoles is too much

Things are doing much better here. but even so, I don't think anyone in this country is stupid enough to pay that much for one game. No game is worth that.

Video game. Game is the thing, and video is the type of thing. Video game, board game, card game, sex game, baseball game, hockey game, Olympic game. Case closed

I could do it. I already have a stack that I need to scan (and I am only on the second one), but if people are not ina rush, I could definitely do it.

I wouldn't call TNA a sport. It's anything but I have noticed something with LCDs that I haven't on plasma, which has convinced me I want a plasma. I was watching Marley & Me on a Sony Bravia in the store, and noticed that the characters seemed to move oddly; it looked unnnatural and wrong. It was a 120hz set, so I wasn't sure if it was that jittering I have heard about or not. But it certainly didn't look right, no matter how far back I was. Then I went to another section of the store where they had ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL Samsung LED televisions. On one they had demo look of faster moving action footage - surfing, cars racing by, a foot chase scene from some movie - which looked better than anything I have seen on an LCD or plasma. On the LED set beside it was Paul Blart Mall Cop. Slower moving, typical movie stuff. Again, Kevin James' movements looked really unnatural, and "jittery", I suppose. He was at his kitchen table or something; it just didn't look right. I have yet to notice this effect on a plasma, and I hope I never do since then I won't know what to buy.

See, even with 250 gigs, I'd be happy. Last month I downloaded everything I could think of as well as seeding some things and only got to 120 gigs. I have no clue why we are limited to 60 gigs here for like $50 a month (fees and taxes in). You can get 100 gig service, but that goes up to $70+ a month. I can get overage "insurance" with Bell, which for $10 a month would give me an extra 30 gigs, but that's still getting expensive.

Well, before satellite TV, you only had one choice for cable tv. Each company had it's region that it serviced. No competition. If you live in Ottawa and want cable television, you have to buy it from Rogers. there is no one else unless you get a dish (or live in a new apartment building where you can get satellite TV through your phone line with no dish. Same with cable internet for the most part. any smaller ISPs have to rent/lease the cable lines from the cable company. Same with DSL. Bell Canada owns just about every single phone line in Canada, so smaller DSL ISPs have to lease the lines from Bell, and are also subject to any of Bell's bandwidth throttling and other limits. There have always been smaller ISPs around that offer what the big companies do. Does that setup not exist there? Are there no Ma & Pa Internet providers that lease the lines from the telecom companies?

I think GamePro, EGM, and Nintendo Power are pretty much complete as far as members having all the issues in possession (or close to complete), but we are in need of a lot of GameFan (I think), EGM2 and Game Players

It's also good for all TV shows when shot in HD. And gaming.

I used to have Rogers for internet service. Service was always solid (no outages in 3 years), if a bit pricey, and annoying wit hthe 60 gig per month bandwidth limit. Once we got rid of our cable when they planned on raising their prices, we decided to switch ISPs as well since we had our home phone with Bell Canada. So we signed up for Bell Internet. Meh. The service as far as connectivity is good. However, Bell likes to throttle P2P traffic from 4:30pm to 2am down to 25kb/s. Quite annoying but not the end of the world. However, without even trying, I have gone over their 60 gigs per month limit. Last week (or two weeks and a half ago - it doesn't matter), I was at 59.89 gigs. I stopped all my downloads, and since then have not used BitTorrent or any file sharing programs, nor downloaded anything on my Wii or Xbox 360, or anything that would cause massive amounts of data to move. So I look to see how we are doing today; 69.63 gigs. Somehow almost 10 gigs of info moved to and from my home in that short amount of time while downloading and uploading nothing. And I definitely do not surf enough to use up 10 gigs of bandwidth, nor does Kaspersky update enough to use that much, nor does Windows Update download that much. So on top of being throttled everyday for 10 hours, I am having gigs of bandwidth disappear on me. With Rogers I could check my daily usage, both downloading and uploading; but with Bell, I can only see the total usage for the billing period. Annoying. So I am looking at moving to a smaller ISP, like some of the local ones in Ottawa or Acanac, who have no download limits, and even have a work around they promote to get around the Bell throttling, and are a good deal cheaper than Bell or Rogers. Does anyone have a smaller ISP, or had one in the past? What is your experience? Do you find them as reliable as the big media ISPs? I am trying to decide what to do. I don't want to be switching ISPs all the time.

I have an HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, and I love it. It only scans one side at a time using the auto feeder, but that is fine with me since I don't use it. Phillyman has some Canon one that will scan both sides. Personally, I would recommend not using the auto feeder. Sure, it's faster (and easier), but the end product sucks compared to using the flatbed. Pages will get pulled in crooked, plus there will be bleed through on any page that isn't dark.

Actually, the Wueen of England is a non-existant position. She is the Queen of the Untied Kingdom. And of the Commonwealth countries.

As much as I'd love for them to make consoles again, they'd be stupid to do it.

I had one up on eBay that ended tonight. You should have bid on it. Some Russian won it, even though the auctions says I ship to the US and Canada; so now someone else has a second chance offer.

You forget that FMV games suck. Except maybe for Tomcat Alley.

I am suffering the opposite, and am wanting to sell my retro consoles, which I am. I am only keeping my Master System, Genesis, Sega CD, and Super NES. Everything else I am unloading. No room, and no time to play them, considering all the games coming out now that I want to play, and all the current games I am backlogged on. Though I do not understand why you want those consoles. 3 of the 4 are crap, and the Nomad is rather useless. I don't know many people that have 20 AA batteries lying around for one device

Thanks. It sucks that I need the storage room they are currently taking, but what can you do. Honestly, I would never get around to playing all the games I will be putting up.

I am pruning my game collection in a big way. I am only keeping the games I want and/or like, so everything else is being sold off on eBay. Right now I have some Saturn and Dreamcast stuff that ends on the 21, as well as a bunch of Sega CD and 32X games. Click here and spend lots of money! I will also be putting up a large number of my Genesis games and some systems in the next couple of weeks. After that will be Master System games.

Nope. I do not like fighting games.

Since The Sims 2 had an Ikea expansion, I wonder if this version will have similar expansions. Sears appliances, JC Penny clothes. They could milk this even more than they did with Sims 2.

I love Wal-Mart (and I also loved the episode of Penn & Teller Bullshit! about Wal-Mart). I haven't heard about trade-in kiosk's coming here (Canada). Either way, it's not likely something I would take advantage of since I don't really trade games in (when I do, it's at EB when they have some kind of good promo going on. Futureshop buys and sells used games, but I never go there for that. Amazon is awesome too, and I order a lot of stuff from them, but a lot of times I just want to get out of the house and buy something in person, or just browse. Brick and mortar stores will always be around. People will always want to go to a real store. Wal-Mart doesn't seem to have the omnipresence here that they do in the US; they closed all their Sam's Club warehouses a couple months ago up here. Sometimes nothing beats just going to the movies. Even if you can watch everything at hom on a big HDTV, it's still not the same as seeing it on a huge screen at the theatre, regardless of whether you buy popcorn and a drink or not. This is especially true when movies like Monsters vs Aliens and Up are released in 3D and in IMAX 3D. Movies like that HAVE to be seen at the theatre.
