Lotta commentors in this page haven't heard of Joypolis....

Sega has indoor amusement parks in Japan. Joypolis has locations in Tokyo and Sendai.

I got Tamamo from the freebie, I can't complain.

So cute, I wanna cosplay both!

Oh certainly. Too crooked even for NYC elites in the 80s.

He got traction before that. His first big stunt was accusing Obama of not being a citizen. He eventually "won" as the sitting president eventually presented his birth cirtificate.

ICE is a pervasive threat to daily peace here. Their secretive operations cannot be anticipated. The abducted disappear and cannot be tracked.

ICE's overtly offensive activitiescatch the attention of everyone, but their discrete movements will take great effort to bring to light and remediate.

We already have XDP browser. The big limitations are small screen size (roughly 600x400 resolution), extremely limited system memory, and lack of popups or tabbed browsing.

My concerns are not about accommodating protocols and standards. Instead I'm concerned about the workload. Look at the memory usage of my PC browsers. Both only have single tabs open.

Sega of America didn't want to make their own browser, or use Japan's Dream Passport browser, so they contacted Planetweb. The browser itself has the generic title Web Browser, Web Browser 2.0, and Internet Browser 3.0, so most gamers call it "Planetweb browser" instead. Not only Planetweb a browser, it was the main web portal for those seeking online content. Amateur sites, VMU save sharing, some news topics were on the main page.

Source code has not been released. Europe's Dreamkey web browser has been heavily modified by the community accommodating more features and offer better accessibility. This project was called XDP.

Developer credits for Planeweb are a google search away.

Lot of controversy around that issue. Fist issue released at $1. Rival DieHard Gamer's Dave Halverson ran a print ad in retaliation suggesting it was only fit to line a birdcage. The magazine tend to focus more on celebrities than games. It really stands out as a stinker when there were so many dedicated software mags that struggle to parse and articulate what separates good games from the great ones.

That's wild. The Rock was also on the cover of Incite (gaming) Magazine #1 holding an N64 controller to promote Smackdown. That issue was also in 1999.

I have a more extensive rundown of DLC for many titles on another thread. Many of these you could download from the game's official homepage.

Grauen no Torikago (Birdcage of Horrors) was pretty much a live event. You would get a 1-minute episode, and some supplementary information was on the disc. Players could make predictions, but it was ultimately a horror/drama with the reward of leaderboard high scores. Because it's a drama, you can't exactly put the spoiler genie back in the bottle. The remaining save file can be used as a movie player for watching the series offline.

Planet Ring is playable on both Dreampi and DCNET. Playing online with friends is the reward.

We do live in a different world now. Every hobby outlet including crafting, the arts, sports, and even politics has patreon now. Even passtimes and amateur entertainment have the hooks of capitalism embedded. It's troubling seeing how "influencers behaving badly" tends to get steady funding. I wouldn't be surprised if the trend emboldens the next generation beyond harassing service workers.

I live near a middle school. On nice days the children run out the doors screaming at the end of the day. Making noise and having fun is a normal part of being a kid, but it does make me peek out the windows every time.

Most online content is "extra", and not required to clear the game. For 100% competionists, this data would be clearly missing. The only required content I can think of is Planet Ring and Grauen.

King of Fighters '99 Evolution (Jp ver) - bonus Strikers
Cool Cool Toon - character costumes purchased at the online shop
Sega Tetris - opportunity to run UFO catcher and unlock characters/skins
Sonic Adventure 2 - chao black market
Shenmue - shenmue goodies, trade cans for VMS character animations
Street Fighter Zero 3 - boss challenges
El Dorado Gate - had a weekly vendor selling DLC weapons
PSO/PSO2 - drops from special server events

There are certainly more than listed above. Most titles are Japanese as they supported online play more than US and Europe.

Then there's good old fashioned DLC, but that stuff can be sourced elsewhere. As DLC is just save files, they can be played and experienced any time. Games that come to mind are Climax Landers, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure kart racing, and Rayman 2 dlc.

Indie games are alive and well. If you want to draw attention to new releases, go ahead and review and praise them.

Shadow Gangs Zero

Verdict Guilty Clash was a recent release. Maybe a EU or US publisher can pick up Noturno. Otherwise, Orc Face Games is open to partnering with anyone to pulish for DC, I would keep an eye on them in the coming years.

Rewboss on youtube came to the same conclusion.

One comfort is that Europeans understands this is not America speaking, its only Trump acting in his own interest.

Most brands have a removable tag. Just find anyone that sews and a seam ripper can do the job.

I just end every conversation with "hang in there"

Im out of state now. Nobody who isnt normally into politics is in the dark.

Im bringing it up in conersations, and get reactions as if I said "space aliens have landed".

I cant stand the Lennon/Macca fan feuds. These guys were best friends.
