I've played Final Fantasy games on a Gameboy...and this was years ago (like 1993 or 1994). The game world was pretty diverse too IMO, and certainly large.

I could see ticket prices going down simply to win back the fans.

Unless much of the material in that system is taken up by the stars...(or something......It's late[early] so have mercy)

Why couldn't you make a decent RPG for handhelds?

Meh, I could care less. I haven't disagreed with its being mentioned.

I thought the final fight was rather silly.

Well...why the displeasure that it hasn't been mentioned? Didn't you just mention it?

I say neigh! Because sometimes I think I'm a horse. I dunno.....something about them just makes me think they won't. Perhaps because I compare them to BIS, Bioware and whatnot, and from my limited memory none of them make handheld games either. I'd hope for no, for the purely selfish reason of I don't have a hand held, and likely will not be getting one :D

Because you asked why Dr. Who hadn't been mentioned. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, I didn't ask a question. I made a statement. If I had asked a question, it would have been something like, "Has Doctor Who been mentioned?" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Already moving up my list of favourite people..... Regardless, you made a comment indicating the lack of Dr. Who, and he gave an explanation.

Edmonton needs a bigger arena. (My non sequitur point of the day).

If I recall, his second level up will give him "Force Sensitive" which is like +40 to force points.

Despite which I still enjoyed playing coop I knew exactly what I was getting into, so the expectations make things easier.

I believe it's new with the CBA, but there's a buyout option for owners that something like 70% of the remaining contract value or something. Contracts should have ways to be legally terminated, with both sides agreeing to the avenues of buying out said contract. Having said that, I don't feel too much sympathy for a player that feels he's underpaid. He signed the long term deal at that particular wage, and should take responsibility for his decision. Even with a buyout option, teams are still in a financial predicament if a player ends up not being worth the value of the contract. Although I hear that the new owner-led arbitration rules can come into play here and revalue the contract, if appropriate (or something).

Because you asked why Dr. Who hadn't been mentioned.

Errr...you can use different drivers with ATI cards as well. I can get it to run on my 9800 <shrug> Having said that, enjoy the game :D

I don't recall them blaming Activision for Bloodlines. It's possible their complaints fell on deaf ears though

I don't know if something like this would be approved by George Lucas though.

I would assume (i.e I have no really idea) that, particularly based on his missed second shot, it was not beyond his skill to regroup and score on the third hit.

I'm all for contracts being binding. However, I think things are a bit different in the NFL. I don't think contracts are guaranteed (which is why the big deal with the signing bonus), which means the team can axe them at any time, and they don't have to pay the contract. However, I believe the signing bonus aspect of the contract is guaranteed. According to this analysis over half of the salary earned by NFL players is now guaranteed. This number compared to 20% in 1993. So it seems to be changing. As far as I can tell, the other leagues have guaranteed contracts, where releasing someone merely puts them on waivers, where another team can pick up their contract....but the original team still has to pay it until then.

I'm pretty sure Goodenow won't be around much longer. He certainly doesn't have the support of his clients. Although he does have years left on his contract I believe, but there are legitimate ways around contracts too.

He did miss his second shot didn't he? How much of the adjustment could be compensated for while pulling back the bolt? Surely he'd have an idea, based on how the second shot missed, of where he should be pointing the rifle by the time he was done reloading. And maybe he was a particularly talented marksman(?)

I would imagine it's a part of the grungy business side of things. The sales were probably not sufficient enough that keeping a team was too costly of a proposition. The woes of "reality"

Soon you'll wonder why :D

I appreciated the move. They could have closed up shop right after the release.
