So does that mean your against it? (well not against it, but you know what I mean)

And Vigil, I must play final fantasy 7 through at least once a year. That and pokemon snap.

Against what?

Anyway, I just don't make short-term predictions because of the almost random spikes caused by innovation.

For example, just the other day, I first heard of this "BloomBox".

Fuel cells have been around for a while, I know, but when I found out places like Google and (soon, apparently) Coca-Cola were using small boxes to power individual buildings, Mind=Blown.
My vision of futuristic power distribution went from having large Fusion power plants distributing power like modern day oil and coal powered ones, to individual energy boxes, something more akin to air conditioning or heating.

Haven't finished the game yet, but my bro told me about the whole Collector/Prothean/Reaper connection.

I wouldn't be happy if we switched to complete digital distribution, if that's what you meant. I do like a physical disc that is mine until and do what I want with.

I understand where you are coming from Pie, but right now, I don't think the console market can really switch to complete digital distribution. Xbox Live and the Playstation network are still in their infancy, and while we do see arcade games exclusively online, they are no where near as complex and expensive as a standard multimillion title.

Sure they have put in Games on Demand, but right now, even with the biggest harddrive available on the 360 (280GB) you'd only get about 10-20 games on there before you have to start deleting titles, which hardly helps their strategy to buy as many games as possible, as you'd be reluctant to remove games you'd like for new titles you weren't sure off.

Chop his toes off then set his face on fire. Eat him. Kill him. Then hit him.

Check section 4 of GTTV, I has some brief footage of the Hammerhead in action. Looks a lot like the Mako, just even HARDER to control.

It also have the heads of Bioware being very coy.

Very Happy

Damn, why can they not improve things, they feel like they have to completely replace things and make them marginally better or not at all.

Oh, and GTTV sucks, any other sources?
