Here are some snippets from the first part of the 10 page hands on preview that can be found in the German PC Games 3/06. In reply.
Can't wait to get my new computer so I can stop shacking and actually play some of these new games ;-)

She is a clinical psychologist
He was sent to a mental institution
Personal theory is that her story about him stepping on her foot is total bullshit. It doesn't work... she was seated in the tail section, he was seating up front. She is really covering for the fact that she knows him from her time at the mental institution, and knows that he won the lottery since it was such a big deal on the news (big enough that it was on TV in Korea)... She's hedging her bets that they'll get rescued at some point, and is trying to get close to him for the money. The only other person on the island who knows about the money is Jack, and he wouldnt tell anyone.

The guy that runs this blog swears by it and 17% of people on Joystiq.com use the Arrow keys. I thought everybody switched over after quake came out.

So I picked up Wow today. It comes with a trial key to give to a friend. Could I use this key myself then enter the retail key after 10 days, or do they somehow block this?

This game is just so... charming. o_O
I kind of sat down with it when I got home from work at 8:00 and just turned it off for the night. I started at the Tower of the Gods, about halfway through it, and spent alot of time after that charting the ocean and looking for stuff. Now I'm on my way to the Wind Temple, I think. It's up north. I know the mark down south is inaccessible right now.
Based on how many hearts I have, items, and other stuff, I guess I'm somewhere near halfway through the game; my only complaint so far is that the oceanic setting, while unique and the sailing, while fun, seem kind of like a cop out on having outdoor areas. The outdoors in Ocarina of Time were underwhelming, so maybe it's for the best, but this game is head and tails beyond OoT in just about every other aspect, but then again trying to fit a grand adventure game on a cartridge is alot harder than a disc... Link to the Past did a good job, though.
But, that little niggle aside, yes, great game. I think I have to stop now that I got a little laugh-happy imagining that I threw bait out to have a fish come and fill in my map and then a seagull swooped down and grabbed him and carried him home to eat him.

srsly why do they even review this SLI/Crossfire stuff, whilst mostly neglecting the low-mid-range. Haven't seen any reviews of X1300, X1600, their variants, or anything.
oh and HAY GUYZ, some more $700 graphics cards in stock! important news! go out and buy!!!

It would be kind of funny if we had a Shack version of this where we record ourselves doing our versions of the Aristocrats and post them.

So I'm on vacation and the place I'm staying at has free wifi. The problem is, it's one of those setups where the first time you try to view a site it pops up a user agreement that you have to accept before you can really start using it. Obviously the DS doesn't have the ability to do that. Does anyone know of a way to get it authorized or a way to bypass the procedure? I was looking forward to finally playing some MK online. =)

We couldn't find the camera! sTeve got me this really cool elph for Christmas and last time I was using it was yesterday. We went to a Vietnamese restaurant and I was reviewing pictures when the lil' guy shows up with my bowl of noodles. I sat the camera down! We searched the car, no luck.
So, my husband calls the restaurant ... it was only the second day that they'd been open. THANK GOD! The waiter (probably son of owner) says, "Yes, they have it. So, John is on his way to get the camera.
I have kept that camera practically GLUED to me since receiving it. This was a nearly traumatic event. Not quite as bad as when Steve was a baby and I had gone out for the day and went home and forgot he existed, (leaving him at the daycare center) but ... it did make me think of that. Oh, I remembered him soon though. It was too ... quiet at home. :D
So grateful for honest new restaurant business people. Anyway ... probably won't do pix till tomorrow now. Gotta make muffins and stuff.

Anyway, I opened up iPhoto and iWeb and had a welcome page, an about page, and a blog (omg it's a fake blog, no database, no trackbacks/comments because I'm an elitist blog yuppie and I know these things) for our family in 10 minutes.
