From what I have seen of the FMV, it is awesome. I can't wait until the
games look like that. The PS2 will be awesome!

Yes, I seen the article in one of the gaming magazines I get. They all
look great. I wonder what that FFXI online version will be like.

I have had the music for Secret of Mana for years. Excellent music!

OK. I am thinking of another game, then.

Sounds like I need to check up on that one.

Yes, I am trying to convince Dave to buy it, it looks awesome. Dave is a
miser, so it is hard sometimes!

Got it, haven't played it as of yet.

I'll have to try it one day, one day, one day far away......

Yes, that is so stupid. Sort of like LEGO, could make tons of money, but
no, they don't need it in America... Geesh!

Well, the only reason I bought a Playstation was for Final Fantasy 7.
The other games followed suit, I was always a fan of Destruction Derby.
There is a new DD coming out soon as well. I have Demolition Racer, but
have not played it yet. I love car combat games, however. TM4 is better
than TM3 was. TM2 is still the best. I can't wait to see what they can
do to those games on PS2!

LOL! I don't think I could bear having that many LEGO's not in
circulation, though. I think my decendants or whatever would have a
better time with them than I. I am looking forward to the PS2, I read an
article that the DVD player is in par with the top DVD stand alones as
well. I am glad I didn't buy a DVD player yet! Do they have recordable
DVD for non computer use yet?

Yup. I have not been on there too much, I actually have work to do this
month. :(
