I thought China had the population controlled with the one child per family law?

The American empire will fall soon and China is in prime position to take over as the dominant nation. They've been increasing their army 10% every year and now that they have ties with the middle east, they're establishing contracts trade routes - causing other countries to develop quicker as well....

yeah - that's the second time I did that today. Sorry...

Building a gaming PC and am stuck on which brand to get. Recommendations?

That's probably me in 2 years...

How capable is a Pentium 2 400mhz proc at running a PSX emulator?

So do you guys plan on buying one? Based on what I've seen so far, I'll have one at launch. I really dig the whole price point of the system (if its $200 as rumored). I hope Sega dedicates a lot of their talent to the system as it seems like the ideal environment for Sega to get their reputation as ...

Well as long as it's not "Nintendo Freestyle." Don't matter as I will buy it either way.

AgentGreen, can I get a listing on the random PC parts?

Looking to make myself an emulation PC with some modest gear in it...

Nintendo Wii is the new name...

I don't really care about the name as I will be buying it either way.

I'd recommend waiting until E3 06 was over before making any decisions, as there a rumors that Sony will unveil a successor to the PSP.

The Virtua Tennis franchise is pretty much the only sport game I can tolerate. HAS sega announced any games for the revolution, yet? They need to show ninty some love as well as the others. A different Sonic to the 360/PS3 version from what I've read. http://www.sega.com/e3/2006/index.php?id=hp_new...

If the city didn't pay for it, I'd probably dump buckets of sewage into the big wigs' homes.

Was there ever a time where a door-to-door doctor existed?

Looks like Sega is going to be doing a lot better this year. For the past little bit, their games have been "meh". It's great to see :D What I've noticed is that Sega was trying to establish a lot of new franchises on all the systems, but that hasn't worked for them as well as they expect...

Okay, now its updating!

Wait....how did you get it? You have to live in Japan to get the beta. From what I've heard, you can't even get it online, they mail it to you at your Japanese address. :o PSO-World had a guide on signing up for non-Japanese people.

:o You are one lucky bastard my friend. Trust me, I know. :p I'll hopefully be able to take some screens of the game, but I don't think the servers are going to be up very often. It seems the beta ends on the 10th of May, which gives me about 2 weeks of play time. Edit: Can anyone read Japanese? Ma...

Anyone in it? I got an invite after the 2nd wave were sent out. Just got it installed, but servers seem to be down. Anyone know if there is any language options? I'm guessing no, but sometimes they'll throw them in.
