I would have paid for a second ME.

I would have forgiven the bad dialogue, lame voice acting and completely unbelievable situations the protagonist found herself in ... I would have even overlooked the empty world she seemed to inhabit, devoid of pedestrians, cars (or anything really) If they could have just taken what they had and improved all of those things above just a little bit. I would have bought a second ME then.

ME was something of a racing and adventure game, I hated being chased and I hated the gazillion quick-saves I had to do. Even if they had gotten rid of the ridiculous plot and had me running bags around rooftops, it would have made ME a better game. No silly conspiracy theories, no armoured evil versions of yourself chasing you ... just find satchel, deliver satchel. It could have been sweet, because It was a beautiful looking game after all, I just wish my beast had a physics card.

Did you mean Redneck Rampage?

This sounds an awful lot like RFID and NFC (Near Field Communications). The purpose of these is to have inventory that can identify itself when 'pinged' (books, pallets, passports ...). This entails all kinds of things, like shelves that can inventory themselves, tracking an item from manufacturer through shipping, distribution and ultimately to the item in your hands.

gawd. It's "straight" not "strait".

Cough syrup! Nothing but plain, ordinary, over-the-counter children's cough syrup!

I had the same kicked-in-the-guts reaction too. I spent a good chunk of my adolescence either playing it or making elaborate maps that I never published. Learning how to make all the different types of doors, using the BUILD editor, stuffing about with the .con files ... mods! caribbean duke was great. sigh.

I've been waiting for since before I had internet and was still on my local BBS. I spent 6+ hours downloading the original DNF trailer. Of course, it takes less than a minute now on youtube ...

That trailer actually has some spooky similarities to HL and HL2 ... especially about the 1:30 and 2:00 minute marks.

Long live the king.

My first Linux distro was Mandrake after reading an interview in PC Authority (1997?) with RMS and another article about Linus and Linux. The auto-partioner set up roughly 8 or 9 partitions for me (one for /, /etc/ /boot/ /home/ ...). I was thrilled when it finally installed and I was playing Frozen Bubble and had a stack other free software immediately, but I soon nuked it in favour of Gentoo - then SuSE and then Gentoo again.

I'm on Ubuntu now running ion3

I had Gain Ground on the Master System and you get it for the PSP now in the Sega Classics Collection ...
