Pretty neat. Saves me the trouble of double clicking to start an emulator.

I don't know who is responsible for Twitter, but I want to drag him out in the street and bludgeon him with the heaviest object I can find. All it is is another way for douche bags to feel important. Don't even get me started on the celebrities.

@Busting makes Mister Jack feel good: But sir, wouldn't you like to hear all the trivial, mundane, and boring details of my life (or lack thereof)?

8:00 AM I woke up.

8:10 Brushing my teeth.

8:30 Eating breakfast.

@KommanderKeith: The difference here is that you need no filter between your brain and your fingers to get a twitter on the internet. If you have a cell phone, then at any time for any reason you can whip it out and post whatever dumbass thought comes to you before you can stop yourself or even spellcheck. While I'm not crazy about Facebook or such sites, at LEAST using it tends to mean you have free time to edit your blog and can thus devote proper time and effort to the things you write, and when you do so it'll (probably) be more interesting or important than what you had for lunch. Do people make stupid blog posts? Of course they do, but I bet their twitter posts are even dumber.

So no, I'm not doing the same thing. I'm trying to get a little dialogue going, not dump my minutia on people.

@grantanamo: It won't. Well, Twitter itself might, but I have a feeling that the idea itself will keep going, it's very appealing to people and, frankly, I much prefer something simple like Twitter to the cluttered and annoying shit like Facebook.

Telling someone what you're doing right now doesn't really count as being self-centered.

PROTIP: You just voiced your opinion on the internet too. :)

@That Lamer: I already see a few problems with this site, unfortunately, b/c it could be good. The first is that there just aren't enough games being followed - if I were to talk about pictobits, it wouldn't get shown because it's not up on the site at all.

Another thing is for the nicknames we give games. Right now "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" is up there, but my friends and I either call it Smash. No way that's gettin' up on there. Unfortunate limitations of an otherwise cool idea.

Pshhh, I co-wrote the book on monster hunter lol

Seriously, I already put in 300 hours in the Japanese Monster Hunter Portable 2G, and I will put another 300 hours into the North American version.

Monster Hunter is one of the single best games I have ever played in my life. And I've played them all.

Striderhayasa - Can we get some damn m/kb support?!

@Geist002: agreed. Hands down one of the best series I've ever played. I'm playing MHF2 again just to make Red Fatalis Armor (Gunner set) and the White Fatalis Armor (Blademaster Set) I have black Fatalis armor and I may make a few exotic blades that I've never build just to carry them over to MHU.

@DragonSphere: If you simply don't have anyone in your area to play with there's always Xkai. It allows you to play online through some web trickery with the software (free download) and your router. Unfortunately, the Linksys WRT54G router isn't supported so I couldn't use XLink but Sony MHU is supposed to use Ad Hoc party.

this allows you to play a good percentage PSP games that were ad hoc only, online through your PS3 and router similar to what Xlink does. I've read reports that ad hoc party, which has been out in Japan since 08, allows you to use the voice chat functions of the PS3 while you play your PSP games online and there's a pretty good lobby system too.

If you don't have a PS3, then I'm not sure what to tell you. You're just shit of luck.

Having stared into the abyss that is Yahoo! Answers, I'm going to guess that this will only end in tears.

Y!A is like a haven for the folks that weren't bright enough for YouTube flamewars. Concentrating that lovely group into it's gamer form is akin to playing Russian Roulette with a cannon.
