ironically, jagex kinda stopped the gold farming thing altogether, inadvertently crushing all of the fun the game had to offer. i'm not saying that anyone was having fun with the gold farming, just that the restrictions they put up on trading, along with the obnoxious randoms to stop autoers, make the game almost unplayable.
the reason for this being: runescape was always about community. when my friends and i would play runescape, we would always be loaning/giving each other money and items, as well as staking large amounts of money/items on duels. jagex ruined both of these by imposing a (aprox, it changes bast on QP or something) 15-30k limit on duels and trades.
and on top of that, all of their updates cater to noobs (and by that i mean new players, lower level, usually new P2P guys) and not experienced players...
ugh, i feel like i gushed about rs way to much for a single comment...
yeah, i agree with most of that stuff except for the stuff i haven't played yet so wouldn't know anyways. i agree that super mario 64 is one of the best games on N64, however there are many that hold a CLOSE second place. ocarina of time is good and so is goldeneye, but for some reason majora's mask was my other favorite game of the N64. That means alot because the n64 was my favorite system and the first game console i ever got. i have 3 of them and they all still work :P
as for psp, i'm shocked that you didn't put any of the gta games on the list, however i can't really comment on your decisions since i haven't played either of those games.
eeewwwww... i wouldn't buy this thing if i had a million bucks to waste. how can you say that this thing corners the psp? to be honest, i don't use many of the multimedia options because i use my ipod touch. but in terms of games the psp just wipes the floor with the ds. sure, I'll give you new super mario bros, animal crossing, and mario kart, but all of those games are quite old and stale. speaking of games, have you seen the gta games on psp!? sure, you can get exited about your grainy/pixely overhead views of some low def cars and people shooting(chinatown wars), but I'm going to stick to my beautifully rendered gta games on psp. (well, to be honest i haven't played vice city stories yet, but i ordered that one today) not to mention all of the games i can get on psn that are full, complete games rather than minigames!
Nintendo is dead to me, I traded in my wii and my ds is up for sale on amazon. (if that tells you anything) if you need me, i will be playing some good games on psp.
lovin the longer and longer podcasts! but where are our bonus segments? i want more bonus segments! the 1 for piracy was awesome. i love this podcast, runescape and WoW are just unplayable without it.
