It's Saturday the 30th, and still: nothing. What gives, Harmonix?

Quite the opposite. She was on lead (stage/screen right), and was the one rescuing the bassist and drummer when they failed.

SHODAN, because I'm a masochistic with an inferiority complex.

I don't approve of the mullet in a general sense, but I recognize its appropriateness in this situation.

PC game sales only 14 % of industry in 2007

Jan 28th 2008 4:35PM (Joystiq)
If all major platforms (360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, and PC) were equal in revenue, the PC would have 16.6% of the pie. Obviously, they're not. The PSP and PS3 are less than that percentage, I should think, and the 360, DS, and Wii are more. And the PS2 continues to drive revenues. So the fact that PC gaming, not counting digital distribution, which is increasing, amounted to 14% of the industry -- I take that as evidence that the platform is holding its own little niche quite nicely.

Nintendo: A history of ups and downs

GC-GBA connectivity is a mediocre point in Nintendo's history, but I'd call it undersupported before I'd call it a Nintendon't. I found the Tingle Tuner genuinely useful at a couple points in Wind Waker, when I didn't want to use up my precious remaining bombs, and could rely on the fat little fairy man to drop some science.

Four Swords adventures was also pretty fun, although scheduling time to play it with friends was tricky, and led to it taking us a year and a half to finish. I've heard the same of Crystal Chronicles.

Pac Man Vs. is perhaps the best argument for purchasing link cables. It's great fun if you're hanging out with a mixed group of gamers & non-gamers, since the gameplay is so simple and intuitive.

Anyway, there's not a lot of good reasons for connectivity, but the few that work do so pretty well. I'd substitute "E-Reader" for "GC-GBC connnectivity" on the list.
