Ri is an old form of measuring distance in Japan that would've been used back in the Edo period. Used in Japan it is/was about 2.44 miles. [en.wikipedia.org]

While I do really like the multitouch pad/screen, both for being on the side and bringing something new to the table for laptops, I don't think I'd pay 2800 even if I did have the cash. Why no SDD?

Very nice! At first I was a bit disappointed when it looked like it was leading up to Chell being able to run free that easily.

If bigger is better when it comes to mechs, then Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann wins because it's the size of a galaxy! =D

Hmm, let's see:

I remember I had finally collected all 152 Pokemon on Blue (got a Mew from a friend that had used a gameshark to get them and caught a Missingno through glitches). somewhere near 200 hours put into the game. Turned on my Game Boy and the save was gone, no reason it disappeared whatsoever... Put me off Pokemon for a…

I like this doom song better =D

The reason the Japanese media make it sound like it's over and done is because of the conviction rate in Japan. While something like 25% or less of cases go to court, the conviction rate is over 90%.

I feel ya. Region locking is just plain stupid with how interconnected the world is anymore...But what's funny is that cartridge games didn't have software region locks, but instead they'd alter the shape of the cart and slot so one wouldn't fit easily into the other =O

The only power-up either sonic needs takes the seven chaos emeralds and 50 rings.

To get back to Sonic Adventure level awesomeness in Sonic games, they'd have to find some way to bring Yuji Naka back to Sonic Team. Or convince him to produce a new Sonic game over there at Prope. Good luck with that since he wanted to move in a new direction. =(

Probably some more of oblivion. Still haven't finished that. But maybe some more of the saboteur or start No more heroes 2. Then monday it's on to starting school =\

I completely agree. While it'd be nice to have a portable MGS3, I'm currently not looking at buying this game because of the issues with compression.

Ahh, right. [www.3dsbuzz.com]

I think it was SMB1...I remember getting an NES for christmas when i was 7 ('90) and it came with SMB / duck hunt. Can't remember playing any games before then.

Yeah, the GBA & DS sonic games have actually stayed pretty decent.

Thank you good sir.

Jugg(alo)shep? Hold on a minute, I need to wash out my eyes with acid.

23rd is the first day of fall actually. the last full day of summer is Sept 22. Equinox is at 9:04AM UTC on 9/22, which makes all but two hours and four minutes of 9/23 in PDT fall =O

Yeah, a game that was crammed onto a 4.7GB DVD is now being scaled to fit on a 2GB cartridge...hopefully they're still working on fixing stuff like inconsistent texture compression...
