Hmmm.
author=Shinan link=topic=1950.msg32137#msg32137 date=1221563181I got no problem using the cards for homebrew. It's the blatant piracy of new titles that I've got a problem with. Especially when I see what it's doing to the anime industry, I get concerned for niche titles in the video game industry....niche titles being the bread and butter of the DS library.author=Shadowtext link=topic=1950.msg32116#msg32116 date=1221544170But without a card you can't play adventure games with the ScummVM DS emulator.
Why bother with that? Just shoplift the games and you don't even have to pay for the R4!

If you get the DS i advice you to buy an R4 which lets you download DS roms onto it and play them. It will save you a shitload of money plus the R4 is pretty cheap to buy. Bought mine for about $40.
Are we alone in the universe?
I really wish I could bring myself to believe that aliens had visited Earth and that the government had kept it hushed up and shoved it all inside Area 51....but that would depend on me seeing the government as competent or capable of keeping a secret.
Now if we were talking about the Bavarian Illuminati...

Considering XBOX purchase
author=Blitzen link=topic=1962.msg32101#msg32101 date=1221541603Downloads are cheaper than purchased games, and there are quite a few that are free--the demos come to mind.
The thing is Shadowtext, I am really not willing to put cash or effort into downloading stuff. I really just want it to hook up to my TV so that my SUPERNES can take a break.
Let's put it this way: Used Copy of Eternal Sonata: $45. Ikaruga HD: $15.
Considering XBOX purchase
author=Blitzen link=topic=1962.msg32091#msg32091 date=1221539184Is the Arcade the one without the hard drive? Because if so, I'd say to just pay the extra $50 or whatever for the next model, because downloads make a huge difference in the experience. For one thing you get demos of most of the biggest 360 games that come out (including a very playable demo of CivRev), and there are a lot of titles that are only available via download, like Rez HD, Ikaruga HD, and stuff like Geometry Wars and Castle Crashers, plus some old original XBox titles that are worth the $20 or so they cost--I've picked up Fable and plan to get Psychonauts pretty soon.
XBOX360 Arcade is now killer cheap ($189.99 at local department store). To be honest, lately I haven't had a lot of time to play videogames. However, I am considering the purchase seeing as how I have the money and I would love to be able to play Burnout, CivRev, Katamari, and the new StarWars game when it comes out. So I would be buying it with the prospect of future gaming. I haven't got any original XBOX games so I don't need backwards compatibility and I won't be playing things online, just in my house with my family.
Do you think I should buy it? What cheap titles should I get if I do buy it?
Honestly, I've spent a good 90% of my time on my 360 either playing Rock Band or one of my downloaded titles (including quite a bit of time on the Geometry Wars demo). I've got Eternal Sonata, but it hasn't really grabbed my attention yet. I'm considering getting Tales of Vesperia soon because FD keeps insisting it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Hmmm.
The Phoenix Wright series alone is worth the cost of a DS and the carts. Toss in stuff like Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Etrian Odyssey and the World Ends With You and what you've got is basically the best gaming library of any of the platforms that are still being actively developed for.
Also, I'll bet the reason brandonabley agreed to give the DS another chance was Dragon Quest IV and IX.

Are we alone in the universe?
The only way I could believe that we were alone in the universe is if I believed that some god put us here and made us special, which is why we're unique amid a sea of more or less identical areas of space. And then I would also have to believe that he was so lazy that he made 99% of the universe empty space and set the other 1% on fire just so we would have twinkly things in our skies. And then I would have to wonder why he didn't just paint the sky on instead, since that'd be an even easier option, especially if he used christmas lights for the twinkly bits.
Who Watches the Watchmen?
author=Max McGee link=topic=1949.msg31914#msg31914 date=1221511635Has he made it about whores yet?
By the way, re: The Spirit:
FRANK MILLER IS COMPLETELY INSANE YOU GUYS.
Who Watches the Watchmen?
Prediction: the most vocal fans will hate the movie, while the silent majority will consider it a decent adaptation given the constraints of the medium.
Prediction #2: On the off chance that the movie turns out to be an amazing triumph, and even LOUDER majority of the fans of the comic will gnash their teeth and scream at how it ruined things and that now they even hate the comic because of all the new fans the movie brought on.
Either way, people who read the book first will consider themselves better fans than people who saw the movie first.

Are we alone in the universe?
author=Blitzen link=topic=1945.msg31819#msg31819 date=1221458329So you think that in 14 billion light years of space, and over the course of 14 billion years of time, the only rock in the entire gazillion miles of it that was capable of supporting life, and where that life was able to rub enough brain cells(or whatever, since one assumes alien life would have vastly different organs than us. Let's say squeedlyspooch cells) together to recognize themselves in a mirror, was this unremarkable little planet we're on?
Yes, we are alone. People envisage something remarkable out there in the universe, another sentient life form or something, but I really do think that for the entirety of our existence we will never meet extra-terrestrial civilizations. All the stories and conspiracy theories are mostly Cold War covert ops gone awry. There will be no saving grace, no grand invasion, no "federation of planets". We're alone. I say, get used to it.
For that matter, in addition to those 14 billion light years of space, it looks pretty likely that there's a lot more out there than just our universe. So even on the off chance that we're a unique and beautiful phenomenon in this universe, one would also need to assume that all those other universes were devoid of life, too.
Most scientists seem to think that the chances of life evolving and reaching our level of development is astronomically high, and the Fermi Paradox is infamous in the scientific community because of it.
