I haven't heard much of anything about the Shenmue that we haven't run news stories on. As for FF8, well, the answer to your question is that it's a Final Fantasy game. Square reinvented the wheel for every game in the series, except 9. So 9's the freak! Not 8! 8)

Now grab a shovel and get digging! Sorry, had to finish the quote... which you didn't quite make, but ANYWAY... Last I checked, PSO was still free of cheating, although it DOES have it's share of people who have been playing for disturbing ammounts of time. Anyway though, yes, in general, the concepts of cheating in any game, particularly multiplayer, and the concept of selling equipment or whatnot for real money in said games. Plus who buys this stuff? By the time you're on a high enough level to use anything really good in PSO, you should be finding it yourself no problem!

Googleshng:
Interesting music note. As for your SoA question, you don't get anything from that you can't buy at the end of the game, but it's VERY nice for saving up money and collecting stat boost items.

Not sure about PERFECTLY, I seem to have lost the sound on the movie I converted, but thanks a lot for that little fact!

Well put. A couple things I'd like to add though, those dates and times apply to Japan, so add a year or two for us. Also, since the DC is MUCH more popular in the US, you can pretty much guarrentee we'll get each and every one of those. Plus that dreaded DC death date people keep talking about is about 5 years after it first launched give or take. Gee! What do you know? That's the EXACT SAME AMMOUNT OF TIME between the launch of EVERY console and the day games dry up for it. That date is also about when the PSX2 is slated to be replaced with the even MORE overpriced PSX3 by the way, so if you believe buying a DC is a waste of money, buying a PSX2 is a much much bigger waste. It won't have been around as long when it goes poof, has a much smaller list of current and upcoming games, costs 3 times as much, will be replaced with a backwards compatable system, and, on a more editorial note, despite the numbers Sony throws around, the DC is a lot better in the graphics department. It's all about polys vs. nurbs. Oh and then there's also the little fact that the DC has great first party software. 8)

Hiyas Google!

Anywho, the lady in Chesh's pic is dressed like Queen Beryl from Sailor Moon. What's up with that?

P.S. Can I have a tilde too for figuring out the pic? ^_^

Ever just go outside in the morning, take a deep breath and smell the spring breeze then get the urge to snap some punk twelve year old's neck?

"It's not polite to open other people's cabinets."
The quote is from Phantasy Star IV. It was what Chaz said when you inspected someones cabinet. That has got to be one of the best games of all time.

Ever read a Dragonlance book? I'm a big fan of the series.
The Masked Mystere

Just wondering, in FFIX at the village of the summoners, when Vivi's feeling confused and lonely again, and Zidane tells him of a way to get his mind off things by using some age-old male bonding technique or something, what exactly are they doing? æ"[tinkle tinkle tinkle]"?
