When I first bought it, I played Castlevania SOTN for about 18 hours straight. When my cousin woke up in the morning he came in and said "Hmm... Alucard. That's Dracula spelled backwards."
I said "No it isn't... uh... wait, yeah it is." He didn't understand how I could have been so into the game and not known that pretty important fact.
Metal Slug is one of the most overlooked, yet incredibly fun series ever. I remember playing it in the arcade on a NeoGeo 4in1 cabinet back in high school and getting hooked. I even bought a Sega Saturn just to play it. I can't wait until the PSP version comes out. I've had the PSP since launch but haven't bought anything other than lumines. Bout time something came out worth while.
I have the same G4 laying around the house. How do you like the Powerlogix? Do you think it's worth it? I've been looking in to getting a processor upgrade to tide me over until I can sell my first born and buy that maxed out G5 I've had my eye on.
I finally got mine last night at Toys R Us. Apparently people weren't paying attention to the sign on the front display table that said "We have 7 360's in stock." Only downside is that I had to buy 4 games with it to be able to purchase one. Just one more walmart trip to get a refund/store credit on "the games I got as gifts that I already had". Yes Tiny Tim, it will be a good Christmas after all.
The OCR function in Acrobat 7 works almost flawlessly for me. I had to use it this past week for some freelance work I was doing in English, Spanish and French. The only problem I had was in recognizing characters with accents such as "? I'm sure you can set it to search for specific languages if needed though. I didn't have time to mess with the options.
