    The Phantasy Star Series

    For what its worth, that hair style was dropped, probably because he looked like a red-headed Tidus. At any rate... for those of you who haven't seen these, some videos: The World of PSU video The Battle of PSU video The Network of PSU video Character Showcase Trailer This is pretty much...

    The Phantasy Star Series

    Aside from Phantasy Star IV, the older Phantasy Star games don't hold up well to the test of time. While I have fond memories, I can't say I'm willing to play through Phantasy Star I through III again. Some said that Phantasy Star Online was repetitive, but apparently their memory is kind of...

    get rich quick scheme?

    racketboy pretty much gave you the best advice you can get. As someone who just finished paying off one credit card and is currently working on another, I can definitely say that being stingy with your money works wonders. Want that new game? Too bad, because you don't need that new game...

    Working Designs is no more :(

    This is an interesting read, and shares my sentiment that Working Designs killed themselves.

    Working Designs is no more :(

    Fine. Shining Tears. The 2D argument holds no water.

    Working Designs is no more :(

    Except the "Sony hates 2D games" argument is tired and false. Nippon Ichi sure doesn't seem to be having any problem with their 2D games. There are many reasons to dislike Sony, but this situation really isn't one of them.

    Music Compression and Quality

    If you are comparing with an equivalent quality CBR MP3, a VBR MP3 is smaller. If you're comparing alt-preset-standard VBR MP3s to a 192 kbps CBR MP3, file size can go either way, but the VBR MP3 will always sound better. Some of mine average as low as 168 kbps while others average as high as...

    Music Compression and Quality

    I'm going to toot my own horn and note that I'm a huge game music nut. It's almost all I own as far as CDs go, a few anime and movie soundtracks here and there aside. The above as Borisz mentioned, is precisely the MP3 format I use, basically ripping them with Exact Audio Copy and then...

    Electoral College certification stopped!

    So how come states like Pennsylvania which had similar voter issues, aren't at the focus of attention like Ohio? Let's see if we can answer this one.

    SX Radio

    Heh, I tried something like this a long time ago called SuperSonic Radio on Live365, but I more or less gave up on it due to lack of interest. I currently run RPGFan Radio, though it has interest due to a larger potential audience. Online radio sucks a lot of bandwidth though, even at low...

    How do you guys want to take it?

    It all depends on the quality setting and what encoder you're using for variable bitrate.

    How do you guys want to take it?

    I guess I can put some input here since I'm currently re-ripping every game soundtrack I own thanks to a hard drive failure. This is going to take me over a month to finish... At any rate, I highly recommend using Exact Audio Copy with LAME 3.90.3 on the preset standard setting. My MP3s...

    How to get my Dreamcast on the net?

    The problem with that method is that there are two kinds of Dreamcast modems, and it only works for one of the two. It's all because the one type of modem is incapable of doing what is called a "blind dial", in that it attempts to dial despite not detecting a dial tone. Since you will not get...

    22,000+ dead and still rising from quake

    Some of you may want to consider donating to the Red Cross if you REALLY want to help. Even just $5 helps. Imagine if all 290 million people in the United States donated $5. That's a lot of money.
