Unfortunately, Mac users have to wait until the end of this year and us PC users have to wait until next year. :( At least the more time spent on it, the better it'll be.

$180 is still way too much for a PSP and I meant the Xbox 360.

I suppose it's only natural Nintendo's my favorite since I've only owned their consoles. Like most of you, I still prefer the computer though. My first console was the NES and my first computer was the TRS-80. I was playing both by the time I was 3.

I think most of us agree with that or Mac, especially since we're using them right now. This seems to be confirmed by the replies on this thread. Myself, I haven't used a Mac since grade school; they used them in the computer lab. Other than commercials and internet ads, I haven't seen one since then either. On another note, I noticed "Other" has a commanding lead and I was wondering what consoles you guys are referring to.

Myself, I have been a loyal Nintendo fan and I have owned all of their consoles except the virtural boy. I like the X-Box and the PSP too, but their prices are INSANE!

To get back on topic, I don't think he would create a game for the X Box. It wouldn't work right on that console. Plus it would require too much work and he would need to live up to the graphics of the X Box. I like the graphics just fine the way they are and the gameplay is what's important.

I really liked the Geneforge series, but didn't care too much for the others. I'm kind of picky about RPGs. While Geneforge 3 was the best of the three, I would reccomend starting from the beginning because you may not want to go back due to added stuff as the series progressed.

I tried a google search on my full real name, not a single result. Plus most people spell my last name wrong and when they see it as it should be spelled they assume it's a typo. Also, informally people call me by a few different names. :D Good luck finding me. lol

In one of the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes (Homer^3) where he walked through a wall and found himself in a 3D environment instead of 2D. Did anybody else get the reference made by the fish pond he saw? So far me and my brother have been the only ones I found who do.

I don't see how this really matters. The purpose of the poll was to see how many places have members on these forums, how far spread the members are, and which areas contain the most members. There's no reason to get technical. This is what my counseler calls "over-analyzation parylization," where you're so concentrated on the details you miss the message. Also, I hope I didn't offend anyone from Antarctica with the comment in the poll. I thought only the people studying it resided there. Would one of you care to clarify that for me? I'm curious.

It is a perfectly good statement. It's obvious that the meaning was not "Yet the members of one religion hate the members of the other" because that's obviously not true. It should be read as "Yet certain members of these religions hate members of the other". This is a valid opinion and perfectly innocent. It should not have been removed.

*sigh* I have edited it again to make my meaning perfectly clear and not offensive while still making my undiluted point.

Anyone else notice how many religions use cult tactics? For examle, Christianity says anyone who is not a Christian will go to hell. Also, have you noticed how similar Christianity and Islam are? Yet many members of these religions really seem to hate any member of the other. Myself, I was raised as a Christian, but I don't believe in any god now, and it has been that way for over a year.

Just because you don't understand why that's a good idea doesn't mean it isn't.

How the hell do you expect scientists to research what goes on in the human brain without having access to human brain cells? It's not as if we can go around cutting up the brains of actual living humans to see how they tick, so we do the next best thing.
I understand what they think they're doing, but I fail to see how mice brains are any substitute. Mice are entirely different, whether or not some human DNA is added. Plus it raises controversial issues as to when it is considered a human life and stuff like that.

I think it's hilarious how far off-topic this has become. :D Anyway, I think Kelandon is right, that progressive taxation is neccesary, that low-income families can't afford to pay as much. The real problem though is all the crap that the government is investing in, such as research to give mice partially human brains. Plus the government spends a lot more money than it takes in, now how f***ing stupid is that?

I'm stuck with dial-up myself. :( I have a 56k modem, but downloads are at 4.5k if I get up early, otherwise too slow to bother. If I want to download anything larger than like 2 MB, I have to do it at school. Unfortunately, my school blocks just about everything :mad: so I tend to have to use a Google search and hope I find an alternate link. Also, it doesn't block very many UK sites. Stupid SOB even blocks DELL and the Encyclopedia Brittanica plus any gaming sites they find :mad: Death to Ome-resa!!! (blocking program)
