Rez HD to have a trance vibrator after all... Classic game of the week... and more!

I stickyed teh EOJ tracking thread, so if you guys ever wanna do a progress report, there you go. (As an aside, I'm surprised WotC didn't use this technology on their own MTG products)

As for the Star Wars crossover in SCIV... I dunno I really would've rather they went with Pac-Man. (Or heck, Klonoa.) Heck, why hasn't namco done a Fighter's Megamix-style fighter? Throw in some SC characters, some from the Tekken universe, Mappy, Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man, maybe a ghost monster or two?

Force Feedback: You know I heard there were already two more suits that came out recently, one targeting Nintendo and Sony for their motion tech, and one from a guy at midway for 'stealing' a similar idea he had for motion controls on the Dreamcast. (He even had a working tech demo utilizing Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, which looked like it might actually be playable.) my response? The phrase 'you snooze you lose' comes to mind. You applied for the patent and then sat on your ass for god knows how long, what did you think no one else was going to beat you to the punch in all that time?

I would really enjoy a Namco crossup fighting game. Having Kos-mos from Xenosaga kind of Soul Calibur 3 was cool but I'd like to see something more canonical.

Well there was Namco X Capcom, but a) that was import-only, and b) It was more of a Strategy-RPG than a fighter, as far as I can tell.

As to my call with Rob, I forgot to mention where you can download the first five eps of my podcast - www.djranmas.net ^^

At least you remembered why you called, I nearly forgot... but yeah that's my new favorite game as of late... and that guy's walkthrough is both funny and informative, so at least I won't be bored watching it.

This is why I take notes during the show. ^_~
