  1. Some of the making of stuff is pretty cool, as is the skating bonus game that can be unlocked :D
  2. Athlon64 3500+ 1GB of RAM Radeon 9800 Pro 160 GB SATA Seagate 250 GB SATA that I never bothered checking the model since I got it for free
  3. Hehe, good ol' Hacky-sack. The Jester was hard to do! There was the rollerskating, though that one sucked IMO. The surfing one was my favourite though. There was also the discus. I played it on the Apple II though. I was a big fan of Winter Games and World Games (no wiki ) though.
  4. She's in the medical clinic, right at the very beginning of the game.
  5. You can't complain about Tyler and . Because that decision is all yours.
  6. Yes! I remember: ... Errr, for all those fellow rock-climbers and adrenaline junkies ... :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I loved the South Park where the scene had the South Park priest brave the dangers of the Vatican basement to find some old holy artifacts. The scene was just a play scene from pitfall. :D
  7. The only version I played was on the 3DO. It was good times.
  8. I didn't mind the control scheme actually. After a while I was able to perform the actions while still watching the actual action on the screen, which made it seem a bit more cinematic. Also, the simon says reaction, particularly the last one or two sequences, typically made sense for what your character was doing. For example, when it had you pushing down, your character would often end up ducking in the scene just afterwards. I really enjoyed the game, and have actually played through it 3 separate times now.
  9. I'm sure this has been posted already, but I haven't gotten through the rest of the thread. 20% of $1,000,000 on the PC = $200,000 12.2% of $2,000,000 on the console = $240,000 Is it really better making a game for the PC?
  10. Success and failure is based on the seller's expectation, not necessarily about whether or not a game made profit. Future games in the Jade Empire universe theoretically could have lesser (I say lesser, but it will likely go up since it will be on a new platform...just less up) costs as much of the research into the mythology and design of the setting has already been done. But it's all about expectation. I'm sure Amazon expected to lose a good chunk of change their first few years on the internet as well. If Bioware and Microsoft were not expecting the game to make sales, but perhaps to make up the differences with possible sequels, then the game could still be considered a success. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing if it did or did not meet their expectations.
  11. According to a person who places a MMORPG for crying out loud on 1. You better linked to page 4. Not only is the guy more sane, he also has alot better reasoning WHY bioshock could become a succes... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're tossing everything out the window because a guy thinks that an MMO should be in the lowest spot on his list?
  12. Errr, 400x more than 5 GB. Though one April 1st Google mentioned that my eventual mailbox size will be infinity + 1.
  13. http://www.consoleclassix.com/gameinfo_icehockey_nes.html
  14. Not I. I used a battery! Though my cousin was much, much faster than me on the buttons, I was way better at timing the jumps and getting good angles. When we combined forces, we started reaching the sand pit on the "skip" part of the triple jump. The game gut buggered up when that happened. He was too fast for me for high jump though, I could never time it before we ran into the mat! Skeeting shooting was mine and all mine though :D
  15. Was that the one with the skinny guy, the medium guy, and the big guy (that looked vaguely like Mario)?
  16. I thought I had heard something along the lines of a comic book prior to KOTOR called Knights of the Old Republic.
  17. He's right. Pro athletes (as well as non-professional athletes) love to play sports games.
  18. Ok, so it's increasing in the Netherlands. Though the translator I tried on it didn't mention what you spoke about.....perhaps it just sucks. Though the US CDC notes an increase in condom use. So who's right? My initial assertion that you can't take things at face value still stands.
  19. All I could find was a single statement that people are having unsafe sex. It's not too hard to find the contrary: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4222491 Look at this, condom sales skyrocketting. I guess they're for decoration http://www.fhi.org/en/RH/Pubs/Network/v18_3/NW183ch6.htm You can't just take what the media says at face value. Especially if it's just an assertion with little backing such as in your Dutch quote. EDIT: Points of Llyranor.
  20. Decidedly less subtle than your previous efforts.
  21. I still disagree that the relationship with Juhani was a romantic one.
