New arcade stick

I had one HORI real arcade pro 2 for PS2 from 2005 which I never blogged about. I needed another HORI real arcade pro 2 so Ebay gave me a $67 deal. The PS2 versions are 50% cheaper and bought a $4 PS2 to PS3 converter. It is a lot better to pay $67 for this then $120-$200 for the PS3 USB version of the same arcade stick. I believe I am getting commercial cabinet quality joystick and buttons with this HORI brand. I can use it for Tekken 4, 5, 6, Virtua Fighter 4, 5, Blazblue Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift, Soul Calibur II, III, IV, Street Fighter IV, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Guilty Gear X, Guilty Gear Accent Core, Gradius V, R-Type Final. HORI arcade stick noticeably better than the dual shock 2 and sixaxis.

US has Type 1 characteristics.

On 2250, the Earth reaches a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale at the current rate. This is achieved by computers with semi-quasi reasoning skills and fusion energy. This is impossible with anything other than fusion power plants. In 2011, Earth's at .72 so hydrogen power plants will make it to .73.

Bottom line, nobody ever needs to be type 1 status with all the spacecraft crashes within 114 years since 1897 Aurora, TX in my opinion. Discovery should be 1000x easier especially with surgical laser instruments on spaceships (Roswell).
Laser Inertial Fusion Energy is supposed to work in 2020 far before any International effort. There is supposed to be a demonstration in 2012.

Newt Gingrich said that our fission reactors are on their last legs and need attention and funding since 2000

All you need is a really, really primitive dyson ring (Dyson swarm) and some lasers for wireless transfer to be Type 1.

digital distribution

I read a lot on digital distribution of PC games or Virtual Console. I know I saved $3000 on Roms, ISOs and stuff. It mostly was rom games for old consoles in 1999 - 2005, because PCs could emulate old consoles. Search 'roms'.

It seems like the Gamestops and other non-big box stores are beginning to die, because of Rom collecting or ISOs.

I hate Steam. There is zero tolerance for used game ownership. Fortunately, I got out of this through Target gift cards. Electronic Arts encryption is more tolerable, I have to use No-DVD crack on all their newer games just to execute.

I played all the Saturn shooters at least once, and played enough expensive Sega Saturn games for a review. It's nice skip paying $150 just to play Panzer Dragoon Saga or Radiant Silvergun.

I downloaded a few PC games: Monkey Island Special Edition, Monkey Island 2 Special Edition, Battlefield 2142, Spellforce 2, GTR 2, GTR, Formula 1.

The Japanese likes handhelds, because most own DS and PS2 in a large margin. The Nintendo DS came out on top, with 62.1% of the group owning at least one iteration. The PlayStation 2 came in second at 58.5% .New Consoles are 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th place.Japan Loves Old Games, But Not Older Gamers. Things have become far more corporate and structured. Strangulation might follow if changes don’t occur. DS and PSP are more popular in Japan. So Japan won't buy as many new games, yet Americans would.


I'm trying to think on what obsoletes videogame sessions with Americans?

I know it's called Facebook, Farmville. The primary successor is taking pictures for facebook daily. Facebook photos and amateur photography replace videogames all together! People don't want to buy too many games as a result. I am the only person in class of 2003 in St. Croix County (including 2004-2011) who blogs anymore! They're Facebook hardcore posters entitled too much to join Google+ (joined Google+ five months ago) even blogs EXCEPT youtube.

Lesser substitutes are iPad, iPhone, Android OS for photography for flickr or photobucket.

Vita or Radeon HD 5870

I just got enough money for my birthday for a Playstation Vita or a Radeon HD 5870. I cannot decide which way to go do I am sitting on a fence as far as it goes. I could use the BFGtech Geforce GTX 280 which barely meets Elder Scrolls V high pc requirements. At this point, it is common sense for Christmas 2012 for the Radeon HD 7870 and put my Radeon HD 5970 in my older PC.

Other games I anticipate are Uncharted 3, Elder Scrolls V for PC, Super Mario 3D Land, and then Mass Effect 3 in January.

I'm swamped with college homework since October. I'm coasting through the Gamespot not really hardcore game blogger. I search at night, because I like to think a little bit. I find that comprehending the post is difficult at night so I do lists instead!

For Christmas. The only reason I am getting a laptop is if I am paying electricity. It saves wear and tear on my case fans or 850 watt Power Supply Unit, but mainly it is to reduce the electricity bill. I am probably going to ignore the laptop until the electricity bill bites me in the ass five years from now. If I had digital camera JPEGs, there is nobody important enough to show off too so iPad, what's that? I shown jpegs once on Playstation Portable to my first date in 2005.
