Of course it could be commercials like this to thank for the low piracy rate. But somehow I doubt it.

"Would I love to see it on virtual console? Absolutely. But there are a lot of issues there. Suffice it to say we would love to see it, so we're exploring all the rights issues."

Now just cause they want it donesn't mean they'll get it. Microsoft owns Rare now, and Activision owns the Bond license. So Nintendo is gonna have to pony up some cash (some to a direct competitor) in order to get the game on the Wii.

Is it worth it? I know the game is considered a classic of the multiplayer FPS genre, but now that we're used to Quake Arena and Unreal tournament, will this game hold up? Something tells me it won't. I still remember how lackluster the single player game was, and I think multiplayer was successful because of the 4 ports on the N64.

Don't get me wrong I LOVED this game, but I doubt it aged well. But I hope I'm wrong.

But as much as I dig the faceplate I think I like the paintings more. Though I'm not exactly sure what acrylic on canvas board means. I know the acrylic part, but I'm guessing canvas board is different than a canvas wrapped around a wood frame. He's got a few 8X10 ones then a larger (and more ass-kicking) 16X20 one titled "Emergence Day."

I'm having a real problem with buying 1000 points for a 800 point game. What am I supposed to do with the extra 200 points? It's like a store keeping your change for next time you come to shop there. Is that even legal? I love the virtual console idea but I'm starting to think it needs a few changes.

So what the hell does this mean? All I know is that it points to this site, http://www.bunnyinvasion.com/

Why the movie windows are white I'll never understand. Though there's probably some easy fix.
