  1. Oh, so TGS is only for Japanese games? I see (I guess that's why its called the tokyo game show!) Yeah, they're developed by Japanese developers, but a lot of them get ported to the U.S. Some of the biggest games come from Japan...I can't make a giant list but one of the most renouned developers is Polyphony Digital, responsible for the GT series...and then that's ported over here to the U.S. (and thank god is was!!). TGS may be a Tokyo Game Show, but that doesn't limit the games shown in TGS strictly for Japan. Think of Japan like a testing ground, if the games flop, they're not ported to the U.S., or if U.S. publishers have the balls, they'll pick up rights to the game and localize it for American release...some games flop, some games are god like with their omnipresence, like the GT series, Hot Shots Golf, so on and so forth. Was that too long of an explanation? no, but I do understand that a lot of games are developed by japanese companies (the majority really). I just didn't realise that only japanese developers were involved in the TGS (in other words, I thought it was another E3-type thing).
  2. Strider wasn't originally from a fighting game, hence (possibly) why he's not on the list

  4. You have duckman and a relatively obscure school-girl character in your post. I think we're calling the kettle black. Hey, I never said I wasn't a nerd, I just said you were all nerds!
  5. by GT4 you mean Gran Turismo 4, and not Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas right?
  6. Better pictures here: http://www.gamekult.com/tout/jeux/fiches/J...creenshots.html
  7. I voted for Jerry because although Kramer and George are definitely funnier, all the jokes kind of revolve around their relationship with Jerry (if you watch enough of the episodes you realise that although the four are together quite a bit, it is very rare that the other characters will go out together without Jerry).
  8. Have you checked your default homepage? Because maybe the spyware changed your default homepage, but has since been deleted so all you have to do is change the default homepage in IE?
  9. They aren't liberals. That's everyone's misconception. I remember one of them saying something like "I hate conservatives and I hate liberals even more." I think they're registered Libertarians. I like the Libertarian party except for their stance on the UN which is to get out of it. Meh. Atleast I'm no bleeding heart liberal. Yeah but, the problem is, you have to be a liberal to be a decent person! (ps. I'm being deliberately contraversial here, so ignore me, I'm not serious.)
  10. Has the "time" word filter been brought in here, or is it just an in-joke? edit: nevermind, I think I just answered my own question!
  11. IF it isn't all just a scam or doesn't fizzle out before a release, this thing is doomed from day one anyway. The very idea that once you run out of space you have to permanently replace a game you've already paid for just to fit a new game on your hard-drive is just ridiculous, and will surely anger the consumer.
  12. I'm starting to get the impression that this thing is going to be a "virtual boy" style flop for Nintendo.
  13. Okay, so I have to analyse and critique this research paper for one of my classes, and I came across this bit, where the academics were trying to describe message boards. I just found it really funny that they took all those words and fancy conceptualisations just to describe posting on a message board (which most of us to every day )
  14. sometimes I worry about Matt and Trey's political beliefs.
  15. Great! This should come out here, because Seinfeld was probably the second (or third) most repeated program on Australian TV, behind only to the Simpons (and possibly MASH)
  16. Hmm... come on Fatal, level with us, are you really a 70 pound, anemic 14 year-old?
  17. But come on, this is SONY. Don't forget that their history is in hi-fis, discmans, etc...They know how to make sturdy products. Dun think Sony is always that good I have a sony stereo that I got second hand five years ago and it still works like new.

  19. that sucks. We have a universal remote but I don't know the brand name.
  20. No if you read the link in this thread somewhere, they say the psp will have an ajustable backlight and headphone jacks built in to it.
  21. SONY's not going to fall for that though are they? They better. I wanna see massive suits in the future. what, lawsuits? Corperate rivaleries are the best dude. And the best way to have a really big corporate rivalry is to have m$ looking to introduce a standard for all consoles, and have Sony refuse to follow that standard.
