I think it was Lik Sang, can't remember. Maybe Play Asia. It's all Japanese but there isn't a lot of text so it's pretty easy to figure out.

ahahahahahahaha (not "kinda" enough).

That's my point. I have Band Brothers, and I believe that others -- of the domestic sense -- should have it too. Most people don't import. Hell, if it were localized, I'd reBuy it.

(No comment about the retardo Sony comments. *cough*look at Japan's sales figures*cough*) What saddens me -- STILL -- is that Band Brothers is not on that damned list. WTF. Why is this game not being localized? It's better than most DS games. It's an original Nintendo IP. It has Nintendo retroness. It has a saucy goth-like bat chick! Nintendo of America Is there any date for Europa Universalis and Dig Dug? Dig Dug looks real neat.

Jackal and/or Dragon Spirit and/or Ms Pac-Man Pinball and/or (I think? Maybe) Mach Rider Arcade machines, back in the day when they were common in convenience stores. Got an NES months later. Rest was history.

There is a cable for the wireless controller that plugs into the console and charges it when you don't have a need to be wireless. Good idea... but it costs fucking extra, like every damned thing. The wireless adapter for the console is going to be $100 alone. What a joke.

Time to get this, Walter

I hear he's pitching it to publishers already

SEGA Classics Collection Fantasy Zone Space Harrier and Outrun Everything else

They didn't have one third the budget that Star Trek: DS9 had. In fact, probably considerably less than that. As dated as some of their early CGI looks, it *was* used predominantly for being the cheapest option; far cheaper than the miniature route that ST took. Especially for some of the larger battles that they wound up doing (Imagine doing some of the season three/four battles, with literally dozens of capital ships and hundreds of fighters, the "old fashioned way")

TekWar was awesome. I especially loved how local Toronto theme-park-ish Ontario Place was some super secret hidden laboratory, and BCE place was the home of the futuristic police. Actually, no. Now, Earth 2 and Earth: Final Conflict... NERRRRDS (One cool note about Babylon 5. The diplomatic attache Vir was played by Animal House's Flounder (fat guy in above photo), and Lennier was played by the kid from Lost In Space who was also half of "Barnes and Barnes" -- you know, the band that did the "Fish Heads" song. Fish Heads, Fish Heads, roly poly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up... yum. Yes)

JMS actually pitched the "Space Station with story" concept to Paramount and they rejected it. So he went off and somehow managed to get a pilot done with the help of Warner Bros. By the time that was ready, SURPRISE SURPRISE, here comes a Star Trek branded space station show. He contemplated suing, but figured it would be a waste of time and resources and just went on with B5. Good thing too, cause DS9 was just the standard Trek formula but on a station. WOW. When B5 was winding down, that's when DS9 started doing the long storylines and the EPIC battles, something that was completely alien to Star Trek before. (also, Species 841whatever in Voyager was very much inspired by certain B5 creature and ship designs, and was similarly highly CGI). I guess it's obvious where my allegiances lie. And yes, it was cheesy at times and really melodramatic, but it really was a TV Space Opera of the scale that really has never been equalled. However, if you are not convinced, I suggest trying to find a copy of the Season 2 episode "The Coming of Shadows." (warning, spoilers, if you care) That single episode won a Hugo award (more details about how B5 actually dominated the Hugos at the above link, search "Hugo" a couple of times). Ahem So, yeah, Cylons! Sharon is hot. Edit: addition http://jmsnews.com/msg.aspx?id=1-3367&query=paramount

Space: Above and Beyond I like this show too... for a while. It really started to lose steam after a bunch of episodes (I think it got cancelled once and then came back?) to the point that when they finally started striking back at the enemy Hiroshima style (forget what they were called), I just didn't really care anymore. *Checks*: Hmm, coming to DVD soon http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3531 Not to be confused with this http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0008ENI5C/qid=1123433315 haha, look at all the suckers there!

Kill Bill Volume One is another movie that comes to mind. Apparently, North American audiences can't handle seeing fake blood in full colour. There were a few other minor changes that I can't remember right now.

You've obviously never been to E3. How DON'T they?

That sound like a challenge... GO!

Exactly what I was thinking. Well, that and Thundercats. I got my first tv Christmas 89, so I missed most of 80s tv.

Soon you can with Marc Ecko's Getting Up!!! It'll make parkour a million times more cool!!!
