It had a warning not to play it for too long without taking a break. It would actually auto pause to 'enforce' breaks. I think you could turn this off, it may have been a game setting and not an overall setting though, so some games may not have even had this option.

But they also say to take breaks on todays video game systems and not play for hours on end. Some people are more prone to headaches from these things expecially cause of the 3-D line display on the virtual boy.

I bought it for pretty cheap off ebay cause it was cool to have. basically in the nintendo/sega department we (me and my brothers) had/have all the sytems. We did have to sell our nintendo to get the genesis, but the only 2 systems rule my dad had didnt get applied after that. but my little brother bought one of the redesigned nintendos when those came out. only system ive sold and not replaced was my game gear.

Lucas's filmmaking rut

I just caught up on some of this thread and as I was reading Gaffer's latest post about Anakin being the hero and the villian I started thinking that a Tom Riddle type character would have worked better and then he went and mentioned that same point.

so yeah, basically I agree with Gaffer on that. If Lucas had gone that route it would have made Anakin\Vader's character much better and his fall to the Dark Side more convincing. hmmm, but now im thinking that then he wouldnt have had any good in him at all, so then Luke's comment about there still being good in him wouldnt make sense. So he would have to be somewhat good, but has he gained power and learned the force he took on Riddle type characteristics.

ebay costs money
torrents are free

its all about making this stuff available to the fans for free, most sellers (if not all) on ebay arent the ones that actually made the transfers/did the work.

plus, if i recall from his thread, i think Hoichi actually used that one and added some missing books to it.
I hope you can get it upped to myspleen, i really want to grab this.

speaking of doing what we can to help out and donate money.

There is a guy who lurks here (if you know who it is, please respect his anonymity by not revealing his identity) who is a musician in DC. He's sending ALL the proceeds from his CD and iTunes sales through the end of this year to Katrina relief. Visit http://www.clator.com/ for details.

for those of you that are skeptical of such things, this is legit and the guy is very trustworthy, i wouldnt post it if that wasnt the case. as for me, well i would hope that the various people ive sent discs to and traded with on this board will back me up.

good points Darth Enzo,

i was thinking basically the same thing. he tells the people he's with to "bring his shuttle" they go get his shuttle and radio to the Executor to prepare a docking bay for Vader's arrival. Vader shouldnt have to spell ever little detail out for his 'staff' if your working directly for Vader you should be somewhat competent (otherwise he would have killed you by now)

but dont forget, his whopper should be ready at the drive through window when he pulls up

I think this movie will be alright. Im still concerned about the plot and having it follow the original 2 in sequence. But I think it should make for a decent film at least...should minimumly be better than most of the recent crap, and the other 'flop' comic book films that have been released.

im so torn on this sinister six idea....i agree with what DAYV is saying, but obviously agree with my earlier post.

thats why im thinking if they do something like that, and do it as a 3 hour (maybe a 3+ hour) movie it could easily be made to work. Raimi has done a good job so far though, so i think he would be able to affectively pull it off. I mean, we have spider-man's character pretty much set up. Green Goblin 2 is set up. Lizard wouldnt take that much cause conner has at least been introduced. Venom could probably be done fairly easily, but eve so that still leaves 3 more guys to set up. my major concern about that would be that there wouldnt be enough time to set all that up and still have a good 'fight/struggle' between spidey and the villians.

honestly, i think its gonna go the 2 villian route with a movie running about 2.5 hours. If Raimi sticks true to the first two it will turn out fine. we might not get to see the villians we want, but what we do see shouldnt dissapoint...just my opinion.

actually thinking about it, if they do stop at 3 movies (which is what i believe they are currently contracted for) then I think ADigitalMan's idea would rock. Give Spidey an awful hard fight throughout the movie...i mean, Doc Oc gave him some trouble but that will be nothing compared to this. obviously he will finally triumph, but give him a nice payout, sure he's still spidey, but he gets to finally be happy with MJ at the end. Im thinking this needs to be a 3 hour movie.
