Awesome

I wonder if you have to pay a yearly fee to get online like XBL. Anyone knows?

I was yesterday at Fry's buying Still Life, and I saw 1 copy of Psychonauts for the PC. It was hidden in the adventure games section, behind some other games, barely visible. So I took it out from the back and put it in front of all the games on the shelf. If Majesco is not going to do it, Someone should.

At least I corrected it

It's just as much of a game as The Sims was. The Sims had no real narrative. Actually in his talk, will write mentions that he believes in letting players craft their own story, and not impose it on them. So in his mind, while you grow your creature, change its look, make it interact with different civs, and go talk to different planets and galaxies, you are crafting your own narrative.

I have the utmost respect for Will Wright. The quy is a genius. I know lots of people here don't like the Sims or its sequel, but there is no denying its charm and innovation. When I saw Spore in this demo, it blew me away. **** graphics and not looking good, this game oozes technical innovation. Procedural movement and interaction? Everything in your game comes from other users? Even the dances are procedural based on the shape of your creature? That is what next-gen is about, not a bunch of shiny graphics and an enemy that doesn't even duck for cover, or a cut scene after cut scene of animation like gameplay. Next gen is about GAME innovation, and Will Wright is the only one doing that so far. He could have stayed in the laurels of his Sims franchise and made a gazillion more bucks from Sim 10 Shopping Spree, but this guy loves games and loves making games. The only thing more astonishing than Spore, is how it will come out from a publisher like EA.

Today on Icons on G4Tv they will have an episode about Tim Schafer and they will talk about Psychonauts. I love how he's getting major recognition now Make sure you guys watch it. It's at 7:00 PM Pacific standard time.

Yeah that one. Yeah that one. It's on MTV tonight at 9:30 PM EST so don't miss it. I hope they show some footage of the console rather than some more obscure commercials.

Okay so we got a Godzilla I-Pod, a printer with Spiderman font and with a batman boomerang, and a gigantic floppy drive.

You know that FF is coming to the XBOX right?

When I grow up, I want to be just like J. Allard. He is my hero Also if J. Allard was black he would look like this:

Very nice. First the ICONS thingy and now this. You are climbing up the scale of awesomeness really fast

How'd you do that?

Instead of needing one room to store your XBOXes now you need 2. You can save one room of storage you know.

Happy birthday

netmonkey, you sir are awesome.

By the way is there a single player version of the game? And if not, what are the controls for player 2? I was playing 2 players, but could only move my turtle. Also how do you fire the lightning. And where is this smoke health indicator? I didn't see it when I tried playing. You know what would be cool? If these turtles can pick up various forms of power ups that give them rediculous powerups. Kinda like worms but with direct control. That would be fun

I really doubt that hardware makes a difference. It all boils to the software they provide. Yes XBOX was a better console than all the others, but PS2 won in the sales. So if MS can make tons of games for their console, which they seem to be doing based on all the publishers commitments and the Japanese developers working on the platform, they should be in good shape. Plus never discard Microsoft's amazing marketting power and their $$$$$$.

Okay finally we got the details here Bottom line: Looks same as the photos floating around: The round bulky white console, with the white controller. Wireless controller Great graphics and processing power 20 GB detachable external harddrive Memory stick on console rather than controller XBOX live silver gives access to gamer card for free. Also micro transactions and playing MMO's for a monthly fee. XBOX live gold gives access to all other multi-play games. Nothing revealed about backward compatibility or price. What do you guys think?

If you have access to install shield use that. I think even winzip has some archiving mechanism where you can bundle everything as an exe and extract it. I will download the game now and give it a try

Can't you just lose and let him beat you?

I wonder if he's wearing XBOX underwear too???
