Actually, my problem is with a download.  The Hello Kitty MMORPG (YES, Hello 
Kitty).  I closed beta tested it just fine, and now the open beta is 
released - which I have been waiting months for!!  So anyway, I dl the open 
beta, click on it...nothing happens (this is a torrent btw - but 
complete)....THEN my comp goes all weird, a section of my HD needs to be 
recovered and I have to reinstall a couple of drivers to get back on the 
internet.
THEN, today, I tried dling the NON torrent version which was just made 
available, and when I click on THAT, I get the pop up asking me to save or 
run.  I click save and the box freezes and no download.
I am so mad I could scream right now.

Hello Kitty is EEEEEEEEVIL. Hello Kitty Beta even more so. At least three E's more.

It's most likely a driver clash. It couldn't be so that you got the wrong 
version, for a different OS version, video card or something silly like that?

I don't know if the thing uses Java or it needs a specific flash version, direct 
X version or other software. It may not even be a bug, but a feature. Or caused 
by an added feature. Now an open beta couldn't have DRM, now?

Nope, no other versions to get confused - just the two versions, torrent and 
non torrent.  Now, after having done the reinstallation of the drivers 
(already updated, and were already installed on my comp before it went 
crazy), I clicked on the torrent version, just to see what happens and 
VIOLA, it works fine.
I'm still scratching my head on this one.
*shrug shrug*

But yes, Hello Kitty is EEEEEEEEvil!!  It's an addiction no one can explain.
BTW, this open beta version is WAY bigger than I thought it was gonna 
be....I get totally lost, but then, I just started.  If I didn't have a 
general idea of where everything was from closed beta, I'd be in real 
trouble - now they have added Tokyo, London, Paris, etc and several new 
characters.  I think everyone from AGLAMI should play.  It should make for 
some interesting HKO blogs, in the very least.

I trust I am waaaaaaay too manly to be allowed into Hello Kitty world. Also, I'm 
not in to the whole RPG thing, especially online. I don't do the Second Life or 
WoW thing.

I suspect it's easy to pick up chicks when they outnumber you 100 to 1, so 
manly men may be there.
I don't do online RPGs either, but I am an HK addict and have no choice but 
to succumb to the evilness.  I prefer console, single person gaming, 
actually.  Unless I'm kicking someone's @$$ at Tetris, Pac-Man, Super Puzzle 
Fighter II Turbo, or Doctor Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

Okay, I know FF means Final Fantasy or something like that. They've got at least 
12 of those and a CGI movie. The rest might as wel have been Chinese (although 
its probably Japanese).

I think the movie is the only thing I've actually seen. I've had, played or even 
witnessed none of those FF games other than in reviews in magazines, on the web 
or on TV.

I beleive that is the correct addy, but you have to sign up for a founder's 
beta account - which is limited at the moment.  If you are serious, I must

Coloris was the Amiga port of Columns. 3 squares with different colors coming 
down, 3 uniform blocks or more disappear, points rewarded. It was made by some 
guy from Finland.

Japanese RPG's aren't quite similar to stuff like Ultima. And also, most 
of the battles tend to be turn-based. But then again, I do hate SimCity.

Well, you can always play the old games again. I just brought out my 
gamepad, but still have to decide which game to play. FF4? Tales of 
Phantasia? Or perhaps Star Ocean? I never finished Star Ocean, so 
perhaps I should play that one again.

I have to agree.  Japanese RPGs are very involved and story-rich, with nice 
scenery and characters.  Some are turn based/tactical, which can be fun - 
especially when you want to dominate!
I don't hate sim games.  I actually have a whole set of Sim games, and quite 
enjoy some of the building and tycoon ones (SimSafari - which I still play, 
and Zoo Tycoon - which I love playing) but I never got into "the Sims".

RPGs are more strategical than you think, and they require some brains to 
figure out complex puzzles, at times.
Give the list a try, at least!

Ahhhhh....*droool drooool*
I have all those. They are goodies, for sure.  I just hate dragging out the 
consoles - cuz as you know, I am a console collector!!
Start with SO if you never finished.  It's so much fun.

Just like most people find turn based strategy boring, I find RPG's tedious. I'd 
rather play a "real" adventure game. Maybe it's because of the odd balance 
between the normal game play, trading and strategy. I also don't like the huge 
investment of time in a virtual character. So, no, not gonna give them a try.

That's what I used to think about RPG games. But then one day, just 
because reviews kept stating FF7 was the best game ever made and all 
that blah blah I asked it for my birthday and it has changed my life 
dramatically! I started playing more and more and more and more Japanese 
RPG games, I started watching anime and I even started dating Asian 
girls. And next year I'm even going to move to China. Not sure if that's 
a good thing though.

If you hate dragging out a console you might be interested in this 
thing: http://www.gp2x.com/ It will emulate basically all 8-bit and 
16-bit games and since you can put an SD card in it, you will be able to 
play hundreds of Genesis or SNES games on it.

I always had an interest, but FFVII is really what did me in, also.

Can't you do a bunch of emulation on the Nintendo DS and the PSP?

Yes, there's an SD card you can buy and dl roms on it, but I would not want 
to play an RPG that keeps me glued to it for days or weeks on a teeny DS. 
I'm waiting for them to make the DS compatable with Wii to play DS on the 
TV.
The PSP, I don't know if you can, even though I have one of those also.
Now, an old school PS console, you could also make discs with games and play 
them on it, but it required some sort of modification - I can't remember how 
it was done.

So you're not waiting for this then:
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/24/nintendo-ds-on-tv-it-sure-aint-purdy/

Or any Nintendo DS TV adapter cable.

The MOD-chip thing. It involved opening up your PS1 and soldiering some chip on 
certain points. There was also a swap disk trick.

Nope.  That's icky.  And look at that picture!
I'll just wait til Nintendo decides to do it themselves.
Of course, the whole GameCube/GB thing was a fiasco - too many cables, 
adapters, etc. for hooking one to the other.
Now with wireless, it *should* be better.

Yes, the mod chip was what I was referring to.  I never did the swap disc 
thingy.

Sure, after typing in you 64 character key on both machines.

I'm pretty sure that PSP can be hooked up to a TV. But you need a slim or light 
model to do so without getting extra geek creds.

The swap thingy had a high "let's not bother with that" value. The whole idea 
sounded like some April fool's day hoax.

Well, doesn't a Genesis machine look like this:

whereas a MegaDrive 2 looks like this:

I used to own the latter, and still believe the MegaDrive 2 controller 
is one of the best to this day.
