    BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese tourism authorities are seeking investment to build a novel concept attraction -- the world's first "women's town," where men get punished for disobedience, an official said Thursday.

    The 2.3-square-km Longshuihu village in the Shuangqiao district of Chongqing municipality, also known as "women's town," was based on the local traditional concept of "women rule and men obey," a tourism official told Reuters.

     

    "Traditional women dominate and men have to be obedient in the areas of Sichuan province and Chongqing, and now we are using it as an idea to attract tourists and boost tourism," the official, surname Li, said by telephone.

     

    The tourism bureau planned to invest between 200 million yuan ($26 million) and 300 million yuan in infrastructure, roads and buildings, Li said.

     

    "We welcome investors from overseas and nationwide to invest in our project," he added.

     

    The motto of the new town would be "women never make mistakes, and men can never refuse women's requests," Chinese media have reported.

     

    When tour groups enter the town, female tourists would play the dominant role when shopping or choosing a place to stay, and a disobedient man would be punished by "kneeling on an uneven board" or washing dishes in restaurant, media reports said.

     

    The project, begun in the end of 2005, was expected to take three to five years to finish.

     

    noidbs0.gifnoidbs0.gifnoidbs0.gifnoidbs0.gifnoidbs0.gif times like this I'm kinda glad I'm living in america.

  2. Did you guys think paying for small downloads such as, lets take The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion for example. Paying for something like Horse armor for your horse or for a short sidequest as little as maybe 2 bucks on the Xbox Market. Do you guys think it's worth it? I mean I certainly disagree on every aspect. This maybe the most genius idea for corporations to decide because it's good profit. Time development for these microtranstions is fast and most likely gamers (especially gamers who are either very wealthy or hardcore fanatics) would go through paying these small changes for a little additions or so on to extend further gameplay.

     

    And maybe rediculous possible microtransaction such as shorter load time, soundtrack, alternative/extra endings and so forth..

     

    what do you guys think? is microtransaction good or bad ?

  3. Never played the first Turok but did play Turok 2: Seeds of Evil and I think that was one of the good games I played and beaten (YOU CAN RIDE DYNOSOARS!).

     

    Well my favorite game has to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

     

    but uh.. let see a game of list I owned and <333

     

    Goldeneye (perhaps the best multi-play shooter on n64)

    Perfect Dark (below Goldeneye)

    Donkey Kong 64

    Conker's Bad Fur Day (take that muthabuzzer!)

    Waverace 64

    Star Fox 64 (first n64 game)

    Super Mario 64

    Mario Kart 64 (best overall multi game on n64)

    Diddy Kong Racing

    South Park (funny FPS game)

    Jet Force Gemini

    Super Smash Brothers (always a classic)

    ClayFighter 63 1/3 (CLASS!!!!)

  4. Evil? What is evil? Morally corrupt? Or just bad?

     

    If you consider the devil to be the definition of Evil, then Evil is easy to define. The devil is in every man's heart, and you must resist with all your willpower. Lack of willpower means you fall to temptation.

     

    The function of the devil is to create chaos and disorder. He does not support one side against another, he is not looking for a winner. Chaos, disruption, misery and hopelessness is his trade.

     

    Now, I don't know if my thoughts are evil, but here goes...

     

    Don't care if people get killed, or die - unless I knew them.

     

    In fact, since humans are the scourge of this planet, the underlying cause of all problems, it makes me happy when thousands die. There are, of course, billions more, so a few thousand is neither here nor there.

     

    When people have problems I expect them to sort it out for themselves, they are adults after all - not children needing their hands held.

     

    Emotion is not part of my life, and the emotions of others does not sway me. I do not feel pity, rather, contempt, for those that need to feel miserable and blame others for their troubles - when a bit of forethought would have placed them on the proper path in the first place.

     

    Those that take drugs (including ciggies, alcohol), well, you purchased your own doom. Don't expect me to help.

     

    In other words I am selfish. So there. :(

  6. "Valley of the Damned" by DragonForce

     

    album: Valley of the Damned

    genre: Power Metal (british)

     

    On the wings of life, by the hands of hope

    By the brightest light from the brightest sun

    Crossing silent seas over mountains high

    To the valley of the damned

     

    On the black wind forever we ride on together

    Destroying your evil with freedom our guide

    When the master will storm us

    He'll stand high before us

    Our hearts filled with splendour

    Our swords will shine over the light

  7. Yeah this happen like during last 2 month I believe. Even Divineo, one of the most preferred retailers were selling fake Wiikeys. I'm just happy when I purchased mine, it wasn't fake and I think that's all that matters to me. Yep, not being the victim ;P

  8. I guess Guilty Gear (a fighting game) music, everything is instrumental metal in the series. They're really good if your a rock/metal fan.

     

    Guilty Gear XX #reloaded:

    N.EX.T - korean group doing instrumental progessive metal for the game

    Guilty Gear XX:

    Daisuke Ishiwatari - and then there's the god behind GGXX:

    Daisuke Ishiwatari is the creator of the Guilty Gear video game series. His compositions primarily linger about the metal genre. However, his works are given that much more life, texture, and colour, with regards to his musical influences that include bands such as Led Zeppelin, Queen, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Iron Maiden

     

    Other than that, I'm a big fan of:

    Akira Yamaoka: the genius composer behind all silent hill music

    Nobuo Uematsu: the brilliant man behind the final fantasy music

    The Black Mages: the progessive metal group that Nobuo lead, they do final fantasy songs of course.

     

    hmm the rest:

    Darkstalkers 3 / Vampire Savior 2 music

    Street Fighter 3rd Strike

    Street Fighter Turbo

    Street Fighter Alpha 2

    King of Fighters 98

    Devil May Cry 3

    Devil May Cry

    Super Mario 64

     

    seriously, there is just too many but the best ones are the ones I bolded I guess.

  9. shib, listen to the man. Rap is trash.

     

    anyway old pc i guess

     

    Amd athlon 64 3500+

    MSI K8N Neo2

    2gb kingston ddr ram

    BFG Geforce 6800GT pre-OCed and I OCed some more.

    Maxtor 200gb x2 on raid 1

    WD raptores 35gb x2 on raid 0

    Audigy 2 zs sound card (i think)

     

    I think I need to build myself a new PC because my specs fall into mid-tier or mid-end you recall. But I'll be a patient lad and wait for Crysis out before consider upgrading.

  10. Oh tell me why, Do we build castles in the sky oh tell me why. All the castles way up high.

     

    It can't be always regular broad generic electronic music, for me it's always very good progressive trance by Armin Van Buuren, ATB, DJ Tiesto. Those are what you can truly called good electronic music, not just random music good beats.

     

    but I can always say im a fan of Electronic Body Movement (or EBM) music. It's pretty good. I can say the same to darkwave.

  11. more of a reason why I no longer listen to American music or the least anything america made. Sorry but I just not into the music anymore, I just find it very boring. Pop is dead, hiphop/rap is too trashy, american rock is too corny (can't believe I used this word) and there's still decent metal bands I like (like slayer).

     

    but anyway, the UK side or least anything in the UK side (not pop) but the fuse of electronic and rock/metal is very good I say. That's just one of my side, but I'm more into the japanese music scene. It's hard to denied because their culture of music is so different from the U.S/UK, the taste of their music is just very better in many ways. The music just have that oomph you don't get from your average U.S/UK band. To be more precise, they sound more diverse.

     

    I went back to eletronic music.

    Oh happy happy joy joy, btw did you ever listen to this song before? http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=59795 ignore the video, just enjoy the music :D

  13. I love the new opening, beatiful animation fluid. The song really fits, man what a sad opening... but more importantly, there was too many spoilers in the opening lol. Oh well it doesn't affect me but manga-only readers is a bit suprised.

     

    But maaan.. hueco mundo sure looks nice, just like i imagine when I first saw the scenery on manga. btw.. the anime seeems to be only around 40+ manga chapters behind, so it isn't far from the manga at all. Hopefully no stupid fillers will slow it down.

  14. very elaborative review. The video demonstration was great but the overuse of pictures deserves the most kudos of any product reviews out there. Yes this is the best product review example you see people. This review clearly shows exactly what it can do, if you read it thoroughly you knew this is a great investment for NDS owners.

     

    now stop reading my comment and go buy it now! (or DIEEEEEEE! I gotta stop learning from K'dash ;P )
