    Bob Ross

    Didn't they use an archetypal caricature of him in a recent Boondocks episode where Riley gets in trouble for graffiti?

    Region Free Gaming - Necessary?

    That a fact. You did your homework.

    Do You Finish Games?

    I think I speak for a lot of serious scholars/college/grad students when I say that the Fall and Winter seasons are packed with so many good releases that we simply don't have time to beat every single game we buy. Some are simply not worth beating and get sold; others are simply set aside for...

    Region Free Gaming - Necessary?

    C'mon Klink, there is little chance that kids who would play games like Finding Nemo have a credit card and would order from a video game website that specializes in import games. Besides, handhelds have been region free and there have been no problems there. Have you heard of kids getting in...

    52 Pick-Up (What Are You Buying This Week?)

    Yo Squints, 52 Pickup is a kick ass film, Roy Scheider was the man back in the day. You check out The Sorcerer (the title is misleading, it has nothing to do with magic) made circa 1977.

    Kingdom Hearts 2? Piece of shit or not?

    Suikoden V hits the streets in a day or so. The first two were genius, but the third and fourth installments were not up to most people's expectations (including my own). However, the character design and story in the fifth installment looks promising. My colleagues in Japan who've played...

    Grandia III

    I started playing the game when it first hit a few weeks back. All of what you described had me hooked for the first 10 hours, but the game wears real thin shortly after that. The dinnertime conversations became a bit of a hassle with me. Eventually you just have to guess which character will...

    sony kills itself

    Maybe we'll all be living in a postapocalyptic world akin to Mad Max or the Road Warrior where we'll be too focused on survival while fighting for fuel and water. Here's hoping. Or, if things actually go all nice and well they'll develop some sort of nano-machine mind-interface video game...

    Bruce Willis for Prez!

    To be honest, I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't like Bruce Willis. I'm sure there are people who don't care for him, but I can't recall anyone I've met in person who didn't think well of him. He has that going for him if he runs for president. Too bad nobody out there is willing...

    Fight Night- WTF!!

    I was just giving you a definite answer. Mav was uncertain, not to take credit away from his knowledge.

    Most Badass Characters

    I don't think anyone has mentioned Genjuro from the Samurai Shodown series. Geese Howard of SNK fame is also quite the villain. Golgo 13 is real badass, although he's a bit of a hybrid (being based on a Manga and all). Respect should be given to the old school pioneers of the...

    iPod hating

    Wow, this thread has been very helpful. I was looking into buying an MP3 player this summer and I might have gone with an Apple iPod before reading Zack's article. The article was a great heads up, now I can focus on buying a cheaper MP3 player with better functionality. Nice work.

    PS3 to cost 900?

    The real concern about a $900 price tag on a console is if the system actually DOES sell. If they market the system as a be-all super-machine and people go for it, then Sony will set the standard for new console prices. People can then look forward to paying a grand for a console and dropping...

    Disney and Final Fantasy characters together, wow what a combo

    BCampbell is right, Disney is hugely popular in Japan. Besides, feeling bad about enjoying Kingdom Hearts is comparable to feeling ashamed about having a vivid imagination. The real danger is losing the unbiased fervor for a good gaming experience that led you to play the game in the first...

    Perfect Dark Zero

    It's true that Rare has shaped up to be a suspect acquisition for Microsoft. I think Nintendo is laughing at how much Microsoft paid for Rare. I doubt Nintendo cared much to keep Rare, they must have had some inside intel on Rare's weak release schedule. But, not to get off the point...

    Final Fantasy XII

    ZOE: The Second Runner is far beyond decent. It has the absolute best control scheme for a mech game. Well, maybe the only good control scheme for a mech game. It has absolutely killer visuals. Its only flaws are the occassional framerate drop and the often dreadful voice acting. It is...

    Resident Evil 4 Special Disc coming soon?

    I noticed that very few people I talk to know anything about the upcoming Resident Evil 4 bonus/special disc that is about to release in Japan. Well, its more of a game than a bonus disc. Die-hard Resident Evil buffs (those who follow the Wesker's Reports and research the biological...

    Final Fantasy XII

    The original ZOE (published and developed by Konami) came with a bonus disc of Metal Gear Solid 2. I honestly think the large majority of people who bought ZOE did so for the MGS2 demo. ZOE wasn't received too well, which is unfortunate because Zone of Enders: The Second Runner is one of...

    Naruto

    Introducing characters in the anime is one thing, but viewers won't be able to get really familiar and excited about the characters, their personalities, or their special abilities until the third part of the chuunin exam (the tournament part). It won't be until viewers see the Ten Ten vs...
