While in Birmingham City Centre I thought I'd check out a GAME store to see what had been released on the Gamecube recently. After wandering around looking perplexed I asked a question of the guy who hangs around saying "Can I help you at all" if you so much as breath in the shop. My question was simple, "Where is the Gamecube section?"

"We don't stock new Gamecube software in this store anymore, we do have a small selection of Pre-owned games over on this tiny stanbdalone units end display."

"Is it just this store or a have other GAME stores also dropped the Gamecube?"

"I believe that quite a few are no longer stocking new Gamecube titles."

Well peeps, I can't say that this bloke was 100% correct as I avoided all the other GAME stores in the city centre (2 more) but if this is a trend then it's a very worrying one. It's still over a year till the Revolution comes out in the UK and the Gamecube Christmas line-up has been severly weakend by the lack of a LoZ game and an outpouring of poor quality 'Mario tacked on to sell some extra units' games. There are some good games coming, but not of the Resident Evil 4 type quality that will grab the masses. Add to the gloom the fact that the new Revolution controller (sic) will probably turn off far more people than it attracts and I'm feeling down all round. Some days I wish I'd brought a PS2 or an Xbox.

Oi, Lee-yoshi, you got any concrete info on my dispiriting adventure into GAME?

I'm currently in ultimate mines with my Ranger, Shadow. His weapons are in my sig, and I don't remeber what armor I have on right now. Will I get killed super fast by Dal Ral Lie or should I be able to beat him at my current lvl? Also, I'm going to get a Red Scorpio before I beat him, so that should help me.

Recently I posted in forums multi-classing for characters http://ragol.warcrafttavern.com/forums/s...php?t=8915
This got me to thinking what else PSO "lacks" compaired to other Role Playing Video Games. So I compiled a list and here is what I would like to have seen in PSO...
1. Character Class: Multiclassing, Changing Class, etc...
2. Character generation: Assigning attribute poits, selecting starting costume & equipment, more physical appearance options, etc...
3. Equipment Improvements: Having the Physical appearance of the character's equipment change ans the equipment changes or improves.
4. Equipment Slots: More equipment slots like rings and necklaces, etc...
5. Anything else that people would like to see also in PSO?

I have often played a Force or Ranger equiped with a Saber. Also, a Hunter or Ranger that focused on Spells in the past.
I have often wished that in a later episode you could Multi-Class between 2 types or make a Jack-of-all-Trades with 3 types.
Playing alot of RPGs in the past I've come to realize that be a sole class is not always the best route.
I propse 2 questions to you...
"Would you Multi-Class?" "If Yes, What would you be?"

Mags are living creatures right? So "IF" you could "eat" a mag...
What do you think it would taste like?

Smoking has been linked directly to sexual dysfunction in men, and it's believed to have a similar effect in women. One noted urologist, speaking on the news program 60 Minutes, said when he sees a man smoking, he wonders when -- not if -- he will experience erectile dysfunction.
A smoker’s risk of heart attack is more than twice that of nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking is the biggest risk factor for sudden cardiac death -- smokers are looking at two to four times the risk of nonsmokers. Studies have shown that cigarette smoking is also an important risk factor for stroke. The evidence also indicates that chronic exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke, passive smoking) may increase the risk of heart disease.

Quit smoking Now! For better Life,,!!!
if you can try you can imagine your life bring back the same on the days that you did not smoke that as healthy as you are.. Think about your health, your future! Try and see the difference of NosmoQ!
