Trapster - How can you lose money on a FREEWARE venture? I'd like to know the answer to that one. ![](images/smilies/shiftright.gif)
Funny how the download page doesn't work on the iDeaS page... If it's real, then it's certainly in good shape for a first release with some demos running. I'm guessing that the Tetris demo is the benchmark at the moment. |

Who gave you THAT number, HH? ![](images/smilies/bigeyes.gif)
Trapster: You could have read the site. Sorry, but think of it this way - two things that some guys love. |

The only real chance you have of missing the Blue Shell is on a really long jump, I think - those two locations qualify and there might be a few others. Plus if you're REALLY freaking good at evasive moves. ![](images/smilies/shiftleft.gif)
But yeah - having it nail you in 2nd place is a bitch. ![](images/smilies/yuck.gif) |

It's possible with ANY turn-based game. And there's always a little something called a pause button in those that aren't.
Then again, that doesn't quite work in online play for obvious reasons. Lord knows I could have called a timeout or two in Starcraft back in the day. |

Last I checked, Nostradamus didn't quite hit the nail on the head regarding the end of the world - I'd doubt that the Mayans would. (And I don't think a comet's even scheduled to be near Earth for around 20 years I think, and the odds of it hitting are astronomically low.) |

- My parents can't understand why I still play video games. Pfffft. I plan on playing them LONG into the future, thank you very much. - I was so desperate to get the Zelda Collectors Edition Gamecube disk that I pretty much whored myself to Ashley for the missing code I needed. ![](images/smilies/cry.gif) - I'm fairly certain I have a near-complete collection of the Valiant Nintendo comic books in a box somewhere. - I know COBOL. Not extensively, but I know it. And I also know that it is one of the CRAPPIEST languages known to man. - I contribute new video-game related (and maybe other ones soon...) articles to Wikipedia. - I'm obsessive when it comes to statistics in sports and pretty much follow both major and minor leagues. ![](images/smilies/shiftright.gif) |

Like the Toronto Maple Leafs haven't contributed to the league's woes with all their free agent signings? ![](images/smilies/wink.gif)
Rangers -> Bobby Holik -> $9,000,000/year. That's what did it. |

Usually the face goes over in the WM main event - if for SOME reason HHH/Batista wasn't the main event, then you can smell something fishy there.
Cena's in-ring work at the moment is not good. He's shown the potential to have good matches but I'd have to agree that the gimmick's part of it. Would have been nice if the F-U was a regular Death Valley Driver again, but heaven forbid that more guys end up needing spinal fusion surgery. |

And the show's just hitting the halfway point in Japan too. ![](images/smilies/bigeyes.gif)
My guess is that this is a classic example of rolling the dice - taking a new property and seeing if you can run with it or not. I have no idea whether or not the series is good (anybody seen a fansub?) but one would assume that it has a chance of success if it shares the game's quality. ![](images/smilies/smile.gif) |
