I guess thats a good point. I originally wrote 2 other stanzas, but I thought they sucked so I simplified it to 1. Anything else?

I just woke up after a long sleep, and after getting on my computer these words are the first things the came to my head. I tread along a winding road Carpeted with thorns With bushes of tainted berries Without shoes, food, or sleep Well thats it. It's pretty short, but I'd like to hear some critique.

Holy free holy! Why didn't I find out about this sooner!!! :eek: Wow, finally some new Family Guy episodes. All we need now is for Fox to finally cancel the Simpsons (great show that's going stale from being around way too long) and to bring back Futurama as well, and we'll all be set...

No specific release dates have been announced for Japan yet, let alone North America. Square Enix has (ugh, you're gonna kill me over this... i know it) Dragon Quest 8 coming out in Japan this winter in November or December, and since they don't want to jam all their best titles so close together, they've pushed back Final Fantasy 12's release date to spring 2005 in Japan. Now for North America it's likely going to be the same order, so if you're looking forward to a release it'll probably be late fall 2005, winter 2005, or even early 2006 at the latest for North America (depending on how quickly they translate).

Well if you're having trouble finding video files to download that will run on your computer, you probably need to have more media players. Quicktime is one of many out there, other such as Windows Media Player (don't be freightended of the name, it has a Mac OS X version too :P), and RealPlayer are the big ones. Quicktime is from Apple, which is why it came with your computer, Windows Media is obviously from Microsoft, and well I'm REALLY tired right now and don't really feel like looking for what makes RealPlayer. All these players have their own file formats that can't run on other players. You're almost definitely running into file formats that don't run on Quicktime... my guess is they're WMV files, as they offer good compression which is what most websites like. For that, try this: [url="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e974157-5031-4ac6-840a-6e07547b6aeb&DisplayLang=en"]http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e974157-5031-4ac6-840a-6e07547b6aeb&DisplayLang=en[/url] Now, if you don't wanna download it, I can help you later on, or you could always download the videos at my house and play them here... it makes no difference to me, in fact I think I still have 2 or 3 trailers you downloaded earlier on my computer.

I like your banner and avatar. They oddley seem to match, but I'm really not sure if they're from the same anime. Maybe it's how they're all carefree and happyish. 8/10

I think you should add Star Ocean 3 and Dragon Quest 8 to that list. ;) Kingdom Hearts 2 won't be out for a while. In Japan, Square Enix has announced that they will release Dragon Quest 8 this winter, Final Fantasy 12 in the Spring - Summer 2005, and lastly Kingdom Hearts 2 in Fallish 2005. There's about a 90% chance it'll fall in this order when released in North America, so... that game will probably be out in early 2006 for North America. (sorry to bring you down)

If you look carefully at the pictures of the DS, the A, B, X and Y buttons are too close together. It couldn't hurt to space them out a bit.

I never said it wasn't intentional, just that I thought it ws odd for them to go with such an old design.

gameboy.ign.com Thats a good place to go to find images of DS in action, but you may have to do a little digging as the images and videos are from E3 in May. Oh, and about the DS. Does anyone else find it odd that Nintendo decided to go with the design very similar to that of the Game & Watch?

[font=Century Gothic][size=1][color=#4169e1][QUOTE] [font=Century Gothic][size=1][color=#4169e1]While sony has announced some Im not really excited about any of them and the fact that Sony has released any good screenshoots that ive seen of the PSP in action makes me worry. The fact that they've tried to pass off doctored PS2 pics as PSP screens is...creepy...[/color][/size][/font][/QUOTE] [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=black][size=2]First of all there's this: [url="http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2004/07/12/103,1089638299,28513,0,0.html"]http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2004/07/12/103,1089638299,28513,0,0.html[/url][/size][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]These are pictures taken at the Playstation Metting. There have also been pictures and videos of people playing the Tales of Eternia demo at E3.[/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]Second, there have been MANY pictures of actual PSP games. It's a very powerful system, and if you mistook it's images for PS2 images it's your own fault. The reason a lot of the games shown at E3 were on screens and not on the PSP was (A) at that point the only development was done on emulator development kits and (B) because the plan for the PSP was always to show off the hardware at E3 and show off the software at the Tokyo Game Show (this september).[/size][/font]

Oh! I have the perfect one... although it might be cheating as they're by the same artist: Game: Dragon Warrior 3 Remake's Main Character (it might be better to look at the box art) Animer: Dragon Ball Z's adult Gohon. I tell you these 2 look exactly the same... and so does Dragon Quest 6's Main Character! Akira Toriyama really didn't bother to make originality with these...

I am going to be buying the PSP, but I'm going to expand my games for my current systems first. There are a lot of killer app games coming out for PS2 this year, and I'm going to get some of those first, and wait for the first price drop in the PSP before I go out and buy. As for the DS, I'm still on the fence of whether or not to buy one. I have yet to see any games that truly make the 2 screens a revolutionary gaming idea, or do anything that can't already be done better on other systems (having a bigger map means nothing). The touch screen is a little more promicing, but the stylus could get lost, and I don't really know how well the idea of having 1 had on the system and 1 in the air will work (especially for a handheld). Basically I'm holding out until some games that intrest me arrive (I've even managed to come up with some great game ideas for the DS, although 1 would require more power then what the DS offers). I'm also trying to figure out what kind of Dragon Quest Monsters game is going to be on the DS; one like the first 2, or one like the more recent Caravan Hearts *Shudder*. I might get it a ways in the future, but until then I'll be happy with a PSP in one pocket and my good ol' GBC in the other (if there's any confusion, yes I do have a GBA but I have a lot more and better GBC games that don't play as well on it).

[font=Verdana][size=2]Depends. They might, but I've seen no plans of this anywhere. Even if it could, it would mean only being able to link GBA games on your DS with another DS.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial]Well I posted this earlier in this topic, but to quote myself:[/font] [font=Arial][QUOTE] [font=Arial]Uh, I'd hate to break it to you but... although DS will be compatible with GBA games (as it has a highly incorporated ARM7 processor), it will not be compatible with GB/C games (as it lacks the Z80 processor that the GB/C used). The Z80 is what would make the compatibility possible, but it's not there, so you'll have to settle with just GBA backwards compatibility. On top of that, the DS doesn't have the ext. port that the GBA had, so no linking with the old games.[/font] [/QUOTE] [/font]
