It's also far easier to cheat in paintball than most people realize. (I've known teams to have meetings specifically on how to get away with cheating.)

Nice! I hear they are pretty bad ass!

I'd rock a Dodge Shelby Dakota. Just sayin. Yes, I'm being assinine.

I am constantly amused by the people who babble about how the car needs 'more power'. High end rally race cars don't peak over 350HP. You don't need -power- to go fast, you just need the ability to drive. Yes, power can help, but ultimately, relying on that is just a band-aid. Want to learn to drive fast? do in a…

There was also 'Evil Genius' which was where you basically play as a bond villain, and build your secret lair in a volcano/island. Also very fun, though was obviously stolen almost directly from Dungeon Keeper.

I bought a Dell UltraSharp U2711 27" monitor.

Monolith Productions was the Publisher, which is who I was talking about. I would say that there would still be potential for it to come back, if they owned the rights still, however, Monolith Productions nee Touchdown Entertainment is also pretty much gone as well, so sadly there will likely never be a follow up…

I can NOT recommend this game enough. It's so sad that the third installment never got made, as there was talk that you would then be infiltrating the upper world where the heroes came from. Sadly, EA bought Bullfrog studios, and shut the whole thing down. This game was so much fun that after my (not video game…

Somewhere, I still have my original copy of this game. Brought to you by the same company that brought ShogoM.A.D.

FASA licensed the designs for these robots BEFORE Harmony Gold did for the US market. The problem is, that FASA went to Bandai (The owner of the rights in japan) and got the rights from them, but didn't properly license them IN THE U.S. Which allowed Harmony Gold to license them in the US from Bandai of America, and…

The Tercel 4WD is really a corolla underneath, they just marketed it as a Tercel for some reason. cars that have been around awhile tend to develop their personality or soul. My 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT (really a Toyota Matrix XRS) has plenty of soul, though it developed more of it as time went on. That car is very…

Sir, you make me want to applaud you! It's glad to see, not only someone else who loved that car from their foray into driving, but also someone who has restored theirs! And regardless of how some 'Euro-snob' might say that the car has no 'soul', I disagree. My Tercel 4WD had more personality than my friends Golf…

My first car ever was a 'Gold' '83 Toyota Tercel Wagon 4WD. I hated it. Loathed it. I was an american kid, and my mother had bought me a japanese econo -Station wagon-. I tried to kill this car every way I could.... and failed. (everything but intentionally damaging it, but I drove the nuts off this thing). …

I disagree. This isn't useless. Yes, you -should- insure your equipment before anything else, but this isn't meant as a preventative, so much as a way to track what you have, and for a way to potentially find them (and find out if it's stolen). It's not meant to replace photography insurance at all, just another…

This is variable valve timing, so that the engine can change character for more efficiency across a wider range of RPM. This is how it kicks in, yo. If you don't get it, please don't buy a Honda.

Whoa! Abney Park is still around? I haven't heard them since ~'99-'00. Last time I heard them, they were more 'industrial' than steam punk. (like 'The Information Society's' 'Don't Be Afraid' Album.)

I would disagree. It loses because it's bigger. It's a lot easier to work in details at that economy of scale. The amount of detail in the Veritech is amazing for something that is so small. (Don't get me wrong, the RX-78 is amazing, and super detailed, but he only had to make it fully articulated. Whereas the…

The big difference here, is that Tomb Raider 1 and 2 were great games, but would not really survive in today's market. That genre became to mired in it's own tropes. I loved Tomb Raider 1 and 2, and I still enjoy playing them, but these days, people do sometimes want more than the 'same old thing'. The franchise…

Ironically, I had zero problems or crashes with Tomb Raider on PC, until they delivered a patch via steam 2-3 nights ago, and now it's crashed 3 times in the same day.

I have had no problems with The keyboard and mouse, and find they work wonderfully vs a gamepad. (And a mouse/trackball work much better for aiming than an analog stick). The largest problem here is that there is a near infinite number of keys that you can re-map to change what does what, so they can't just set it…
