Love Rush, btw, such awesome music.

Making a beautiful, well-animated 2D game can be HARD, and it's not like people are selling 2D engines with physics any more. What we're likely to see are 3D games played from a fixed side-view perspective (exactly like Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP) and recent xlba/psn "retro" games. At the very least, they'll do it in 3D and copy sequences of images to create animation frames etc. Creating 2D levels by hand - including hit detection and triggers - is pretty time-consuming... oh, and don't get me started on what happens if you need to fix, modify or rejig a 2D level. Long live 2D, but it won't be made in the traditional manner.

Jack needs work: someone hire him, please!

I'll bet if the OP reneged on paying for the vehicle if the dealership had found the highest bid acceptable they'd be after him like killer bees on a 2007 Sandpiper 325RG 5th wheel. This company needs to be taught a big lesson.

Can't say, however, that the graphics are any better than GameCube quality...

Apparently, they drove these suckers pretty much around the world back in the late 1930's (trips through Africa, Asia, etc.) and they held up no problem.

Although they are long, low and cool, they definitely could be updated with a little "west coast style".

blah blah blah blah blah.

This topic - racial divisiveness - better end soon because I'm so sick and tired of people having reason to complain and complaining because there's no rational reason.

Not much else different, though.

1. LOOK AHEAD. Always remind your kids to not look down but ahead to where they are going (insert Yoda voice)

2. STEER INTO WHERE YOU ARE FALLING. Assuming your kid is at the age where he's smart enough to listen and take advice you give him, make sure he knows to steer IN THE DIRECTION of where he is falling. This is the most important thing they need to know if they don't want to fall down.

3. SPEED IS YOUR FRIEND. Well, not 65mph speed, but if you are at crawling speed, even an olympic cyclist will fall over. Get some speed up otherwise it's more difficult.

There you go. 10 minutes for my two kids, my neice and a couple of other kids on my street, that's all it took with those bits of advice.

$20 for a simple auger seems excessive to begin with. Ordering something like this when you've never actually held it in your hands seems like a dumb thing to do.

I'd give that title to the "Academy Awards™". You see? I didn't even have to enter the "TM", they did that themselves.

- the amount of money required to initiate a lawsuit that is destined to fail;
- that were they to win the lawsuit it would not improve their market position or brand identity in the slightest anyway;
- brands their company as an aggressive jackass to the owners, employees, family and friends of the numerous corporations they are suing; and
- brands their company as a laughing stock jackass to those who watch or read about this story on every available news media that carries it.

Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe this sensationalism is intended to be (relatively) cheap PR for Monster. It HAS brought their name into general discussion in a wide variety of medias. Are they expecting that the negative association with such a meritless lawsuit will be overcome by reminding the world that they still actually exist?

I don't think so.

No, I think the OP is a guy who wants to force you to read more.

Seriously, 90% of this guy's complaints are just part of the cost of providing cheap cable+internet+telephone.

Animation's pretty sweet but the camera is all fucked up.

Anybody THAT bold should at least disguise themselves or leave the country... this guy deserved to get caught.

QFT.

Any word on the "micro filtration" version of milk? Does it last longer?
