@Chagrin: Man I had this long ass diatribe ready to post, took me about 10 minutes to type it all out, but I got to the end of the 5th paragraph and realized I can summarize all of my thoughts on the matter in a much more concise fashion by simply saying,

@Pewny: Too busy injecting liquid cocaine into the eyeballs to take a break for a moment and check up on reality to see if the plan is a bad one or a good one.

@SaanZ: There were plenty of great WWII games. You're speaking of FPS's or third person cover based shooters, there were some great games outside of those limited genres that were set in WWII.

@T Spoon: They're all brilliant classics and none of them should be missed, by anyone who enjoys good games. No slash that, great games.

I can see, military application first, medical application second and sex toy application third as being the most probable common uses for future iterations of this technology in the future.

@Emerald: Yeah that's the whole "fiction" part of sci-fi, and don't get me wrong I'm a huge sci-fi fan myself, it's my favorite genre of fiction.

@Niomo: He said he never played "past the first", which means he played the first game, but not past it.

@ortizlgnd4: Typical with sci-fi though. I can think of so many shows, games, books and movies that predicted by 2010 we'd all be wearing silver one-piece jumpsuits by now and using holographic displays and traveling around in clear tubes and whatnot.

@Burning: Haha, no worries I was responding to Rahll anyway. Just being bored and having fun on the internet.

@Rahll: Burning, you forgot to put the apostrophe in the word "your's" in your response.

@NESv1: I agree, it's just too bleeding expensive right now, at this time, to be expecting this to "hit". People just don't have that kind of flexible income to invest in this right now, even if it were worth it, which it isn't in the first place!

@DownWithTheShip:

Ok, let's look at the picture nobody is looking at. The real picture.

@♠ Final ♠: It's funny that, because the reason the stuff was made illegal in the first place is strictly due to the finagling antics of a big time newspaper man himself and his outrageously greedy minded motivations.

Better yet, use the tax money to bring back the Pony Express right.

@brida: The knockoffs look and feel exactly like the ipad superficially, being the same size and form, they're made in the same locales in China, I believe in the same factory complexes as the ipad actually but the components are cheaper, inferior quality. The OS is different, android based, some come with usb and…

@brida: Just get a knockoff for about 100 bucks, and get a pdf or cbr reader app if all you're going to do is read comics and books. Save 4 or 5 hundred bucks and get the same experience, look for ipeds and apads.

@WhatTheFrag: I hate Summer's guts. It's hot as hell where I live here for 3 months out of the year, and by hot I mean weeks on end with 100 plus temps every day, cooling down to a mild 92 at 4am or so.

I think PETA should get involved. What kind of message does this send to our youth? That's it's ok to go tossing bears around? Is it now? Really, it's fine to just go up to a bear and toss it around. Apparently the makers of this game don't realize the atrocities that bears suffer at the hands of bear abusers. …

@battra92: I just started Tales of Symphonia yesterday. (I have played...3 or 4 Tales of games before).
