Of course I remember: I still have the damn box, manual and CD for Alien Breed: Tower Assault (PC)!! And I still remember how the cutscenes had no sound because they had hardcoded the soundcard settings on the CD, and my machine had my soundcard on a different IRQ...
Goddamn that game was hard, especially with the stupid get-through-this-heavily-infested-level-with-dozens-of-dead-ends-before-the-timer-reaches-zero leves...
Think it had to do with looking for information on the Wii prior to its release.
I can see this as a puzzle game, kind of like The Incredible Machine(?) that was on the PC years ago. they might have obstacles you need to jump over/work your way past with a limited amount of 'ink' to draw the lines.
...actually, they could extend things further by making you use objects to get to the destination or complete an objective ('activate X swiches on the way to the finish line').

im interested, but have to see what it IS like, and for how much. it could very easily be a game you can pay in small snippets on the bus/train, since you'll prob. spend most of your time doodling rather than anything intensive like racing or shooting.
meant to finish off with "*waves bought copy of Q3 around*
but.. but... but...
*looks at Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex T-shirt in drawer*
f#$k.
f#$k.
Soo.... being a couple means that you must be talking to each other every moment you're together?
Oh yeah...
I gave my girlfriend a DS, and we used to play Animal Crossing together; shes not a gamer, but I thought I'd give it a shot, at least so she might understand why I game so often.

But it was nice having her join in on a Mariokart DS multiplayer session with had with my friends one night at the Passionfruit icecream parlour at Capitol Theatre (okay, its not as romantic as the above picture, but still). Further more, out of the 6 people playing, I was the only hardcore gamer, so it was nice seeing people being gamers, albeit a casual one.
Funnily enough, the same thing is happening with the Wii: of my friends that have a DS, they now all have Wii's. My GF and I bumped into two friends at JB at Town Hall the other day, and they were looking for Wii games to purchase. So there I am, making recommendations, and my GF is just shaking her head, telling the other two "you're becoming geeks!".
Wowowo!!
You guys are in Sydney @ the mo?!? Any chance I can bump into yall, considering I go into the city frequently?? It'd be great to say how much I enjoy this site in person, and at least what its bringing to australian gamers (ie: news that's applicable to us, like the australian sales charts, and luke's articles as from the perspective of an australian).

By the way, is that the George St. Cinema Easyway?
Hmm...
Anyone for Cannon Fodder on the DS?

Sounds like someone thought that they best way to get peoples attention was have the gamer staring around some ass all day, and hope for glimpses of some jubblies.

*cough* Gantz *cough*

But i do think they have (very) different standards between games and anime/manga; whilst I like Gantz (the manga more than the anime), I dont like it for the gore and blood, which is why the take of "Ninja Gaiden 2 is about bloooooodd!111" is really unappealing.
Perhaps its just me, but he could still be interested in growing Take Two because its still not worth selling off...
@Achenar:
True Kinokuniya is better for this stuff, but at least when it comes to stuff from Japan (manga, etc.) its a freakin' rip-off.
I used to buy stuff from there, but after:
1. realising just how much more they charge over the price thats on the back of the book, and
2. yesasia.com sell it for cheaper (and with free shipping)

i stopped going to Kinokuniya. Yesasia.com all the way.
Hahaha!! Go the massive KK Slider face!!
I've been buying these:
[global.yesasia.com]
As they're the largest card holders I can find (holds 6, 3 a side).
Though making one that holds all my things would be nicer.

This is the same issue with comics: in japan, manga is not generalised as something for kids (definitely those B1 levels in certain places in Akihabara would testify to that), but comics here (at least in Australia) are still thought of as something for kids.
Explain to someone that you read manga ("what?"), then clarify in layman terms as 'japanese comics' and they think you're reading stuff akin to comic pokemon or super heroes.

Saw this at Myers @ Mac Centre, NSW, Australia about a month ago.
I like how on the packaging that it says it's not a real controller and won't work in a games console (or something).

I'm kind of surprised they didnt run this by people first, to see what peoples reactions/thoughts are.
As an Aussie, I'm also kind of perplexed as to why there's a separate site (unless they got fed up with complaints about 'color', 'aluminum' and 'center').
