that's the Top Toy DS otherwise known as the DSTT. you can find one at DealExtreme for the purely legal purpose of backing up previously purchased ROMS
@Wolfnave: I'd have to agree, and I hate bothering to watch tv shows, cause it cuts into my gameing time.
It's pretty much Married with Children for the 2000's, to the extent that Ed O'Neill is in it. I'd say Married with Children was better though, but this is still very good.
@Labreya: MWC was funny, certainly, but Modern Family has one thing MWC never had - heart. You'll be on the floor laughing one second, and then the next you'll be genuinely moved.
I work in production and I'm a writer so I can speak from experience: what they're accomplishing on Modern Family is not easy at all.
@Wolfnave: Oh, I totaly agree with you there, but I'm pretty much a modern Al Bundy. I love my family but i'm just a jaded grouchy bastard. My life has the problems everyone has, but I'm glad to have a roof over my head.
It's a very close run thing, and Modern Family does have heart, but I can relate to MWC WAAAYYYY better, because I'm a jaded, cranky prick. :P
It's also nice to see proper family show style writing isn't dead in a land of My Super Sweet 16 or I'm this weeks flavour of the month style "reality" tv.
@Wolfnave: Fully agree. I watched the first episode as a lark, and was hooked.
It does help that Ed O'neil is on the show, and that Christopher Lloyd is one of the producers.
@Wolfnave: Agreed. I caught it for the first time last night while I was at the gym, and while I was only reading the subtitles (Ratatat TV), I was laughing pretty hard on the treadmil.
Then I saw there was a new episode at 9pm so I made sure I got home in time to watch it with some sound. Great show.
Married with Children was one of my favorite shows growing up so it helps that Ed O'Neil is in it.
That's really clever. "Leak" their own game... but have it limited. It removes the need for someone else to spread the full version of the game, and still allows people to pirate it. #trials
@N●Gage Croal: I read how Arkham Asylum for the PC was gimped to thwart piraters. So, you can play but you lose the ability to glide, or reach certain areas. So in reality, you couldn't beat the game. I think that's an awesome way to cater to those who want an extended demo and have a habit of torrenting. #trials
@N●Gage Croal: It was patched day 1 for consumers. The whole plan was to stop the pirates. And I just checked the torrent sites, and looks like those pirates are still forced to use the gimped version. I see torrents for the 1.01 patch, but it looks awfully shady. #trials
Now it's time for the community to recognize this as developer as one who understands how the world works. He recognizes piracy and embraces it.
If you torrent the game, and like it, reward the dev for that. Money speaks volumes. If pirates don't put up when the devs do something like this, it's less likely to happen in the future. #trials
@breadtruck: Fallout 3, and potentially DA:O would like a word with you.
(and Far Cry 2 n Borderlands, except they got put on the 'shit no buy' pile) #trials
@breadtruck: Don't speak for all the try before you buy crew. You may pirate and not buy anything, I however buy anything I recognize personal value in. #trials
@WolfieXIII: I dont pirate. I either buy the game or wait for an official demo.
But the 5 angry replies here are the minority, and you all know that. Dont even shit me otherwise. Devs, publishers, and whoever else wouldnt work so hard to try to stop it if those people that pirated came back shortly after to buy it. #trials
What gets me, is the fact that Xbox 360's are quite difficult for a normal person to mod/hack, and very hard to keep from being banned. I understand why some people do it, hell, I have a hacked PSP to play my Translated Policenauts on, and Original Xbox is Hacked so I can use XBMC, and all the emulators, but something like 360 just seems too much hassle to me.
P.S: Before somebody says, yeah. I have played a few isos on my PSP, but only to check them out, to see if they're worth getting. Sometimes you can't tell from a review.
@splatternick: No your wrong on the average person can't do it for the 360. Now it's pretty much automated as long you can read and comprehend.
Sorry but the lines of avg and tech people able to modify consoles (minus PS3) is pretty blurry since almost anyone can do it but for the people who pay for others to do it either are too cautious or believe that they can't do it.
Now I'm not saying everyone should do it (to mod it and frankly while I was guilty of it don't see a good reason to do so besides personal research and to NOT make a profit out of it) but the misnomer of thinking it's too hard or complicated doesn't cut it these days.
Congrats XB360 as your popularity is about to be the new PS2 of your era (for home console), with a big library of games and the easy use to mod it. #modernwarfare2
Last time I checked, you had to have a certain model of Xbox 360, and you needed certain special tools to flash/hack it.
I'd say, at the end of the day, it'll cost you quite a bit after you've brought all the things you need.
DVD Burner - £30/$40
Recordable DVD's - £20/$30
And the tools you need to flash the 360, and the different drives you need to install, plus the modchip makes the price quite high. Add in the fact that downloading 360 iso's takes a long time, and some people are too impatient to wait.
I know what you mean about average people being able to mod 360's now, but even then, they're still in the minority. #modernwarfare2
@splatternick: Comparing to when I first did it to whats available now by far it easier but I no longer have a working 360 anymore nor do I care to get one. The only major expense besides dual layer burner and media was getting a Kreon dvd drive (to backup my own media mostly JPN import).
@PoweredByHentai: I just recently soft modded my PS2 so I can beat Ar Tonelico II by getting a patch for my US version (as in I own the original game) but the only way to play it is by modified PS2. I later got a Undubbed version which all the sounds were actually Dolby Digital when I found out that the US version didn't have a DD track (which they advertised). I can totally understand why you modded yours. It's true once you unlock your system, you have a certain responsibility to not to abuse it. #modernwarfare2

Modern Family is the best comedy in TV right now, my fondness for the show makes me blind to whatever that kid might be using.
As his unofficial lawyer, I'm going to suggest that it's a sticker of a badly drawn Jaguar.
