Evening Reading
by Jack Mathews, May 20, 2001 7:06pm PDTWell here I am updating evening reading once again. I'm actually having to work for it, since Sander decided to blow his ER wad yesterday and post like, everything. He couldn't even save the woman biting off nuts story for me! Selfish!
- Them crazy Indians and their monkey men. I think it's just Steve after not shaving for a few days. - Looks like Maarten's driving to Germany after he gets home. - Wow, this is cool. A German school course teaching you how not to get booted from clubs. - Finally, people think the Shack commenters are freaks, check this out.Well that's it from me. Steve should be back to Seattle soon to take over the reigns. I know we all got some good pictures from the show - Even with the shortage of booth babes this year, Maarten managed to get plenty of pictures! And here's looking to playing some Smash Bros. Melee, Final Fantasy X, and the new Jet Grind Radio game!

"The real point was that we didn't have any hate whatsoever, and were (in fact) struck rather pleasantly by the whole X-thing. Here's what it has come down to, now that we've seen it in action: "Eh." Right. It's not even a word, it's just a little cast-off sound we make when the subject doesn't warrant the effort another syllable might require. I was so disappointed with what was laid out on the floor that I feel like I should put some caveats in here: If this system rules, it didn't show at this E3.....I always took commentary on the size of the Xbox gamepad with a grain of salt, wondering if these people weren't going out of their way to be contrary. I tell you now, God as my witness, I hate that controller. It is so inconceivably large that controllers from other systems whirl about it in a lazy orbit. If I pick up an Xbox (and in order to play Enclave or Munch, that's basically a must), I'm going to buy a third party controller right off the bat and smash the other one with a hammer. Then I'm going to drive over it. Then, I'm going to drive over it again."

would it help me to use the A7V133 I have instead of the A7V? would I have to change anything in Win2k since it's damn close to the same mobo?

As much as things 3DR has said in the past I've disagreed with, I have to say I'm with Greenmarine on this one. First the DNF video was handled poorly. Nothing new pc wise out side of 3DR games looked good. (some games we had seen before like Freedom Force and Warcraft 3 showed good). The gamecube and GBA were the best of show. The Xbox is a huge dissapointment. The Xbox would be best if they suck a mouse and keyboard on it and marketed it as a gaming computer like the Amiga back in the late 80's. At the moment its a console with virtually no cxonsole games or a pc port box without the proper controls to play them. In either case, we are talking suckage.

"Many of its black students choose to live in all-black dorms -- a privilege officially denied to most other ethnicities and races at the school"
"Here they learn that "only whites can be racist" (because only whites have power) and that slavery in Africa was not really bad (because it wasn't "capitalist" and the slaveholders were black)."
