Same as everywhere. Greedy capitalist pigs.

• Ireland
• Greece
• Portugal
• Spain
• Italy

Ireland? They aren't Southern Europe!

Funny thing, first the rest of Europe praised Ireland as the Celtic Tiger that was an example to all. Now it is going bad, they are suddenly thrown of the bus. Problem also includes other Northern European countries that had no trouble exploiting and loaning money to these ' troubled'  countries even though they fully known that trouble would form. Al long as you can make a quick buck now, who cares about long term profit and sustainability. Capitalism has its limits, human greed does not.

I have a celtic girlfriend. She is sweet and tasty and frisky too.

I bet she drinks and curse more than you.

You are correct!

Edgy while we are on the subject of beer.

Al Bundy ruled. They don't make shows like that anymore.

Sonofa.... where is mine?

So....... 3DS virtual console games.

All old ass games, most of them black and white. Seriously, why no gba games on this fricking service? It's just typical Nintendo being painfully awkward here. They can put N64, SNES, even Genesis and Neo Geo games on the Wii virtual console, yet they completely avoid getting gba games up on 3DS. I know it's coming eventually but they needed to do it already and announce it already. Meanwhile I'm watching them update archaic NES games in 3D. Screw that, start by putting Link to the Past in 3D, then do some gba games for chrissakes.

I'm sure it will come in time. Nintendo is probably taking a lesson from the criticism they got over the Wii's Virtual Console. In the first two years they released almost everything they were able to get a license for, and then after that it slowed down to a trickle. GBA titles will probably be made available after a year or so when they want to give the 3DS another shot in the arm. Frankly I don't think it's a huge deal. Most of the GBA games I liked were ports or remakes of 8 bit and 16 bit games anyway, and I already have them on other sources.

I don't believe this licence stuff. Look at the paltry N64 linue up on the VC. Come on, Activision and EA and all would easily give the thumbs up to their games being on there.

That was more likely a case of poor planning on Nintendo's part with the size restrictions. Natsume wanted to put Harvest Moon 64 on the VC, but couldn't condense the game down to a small enough size and eventually said it just wasn't going to happen. I suspect that was a problem for other companies as well.

Link's Awakening and Donkey Kong are not so-so games.

But you'd get to experience the thrill of the hunt... for $10.

Speaking of Foolz, I think you'd dig The Warriors (game). It's a 3PA brawler. High quality. Bit short, I started it on Sunday and have only 3 missions left.

I came close to buying that, but went with Voodoo Vince and Shenmue 2 instead.

Still interested, though.

I guess I should say it's short only becau I am skipping the cutscenes though.  It's made by Rockstar Toronto, I'm guessing they used the same engine as Manhunt.

x-boxers:

"From July 19 through July 25, it's all GTA, with GTAIV add-ons Ballad of Gay Tony for 800 MSP, The Lost and Damned for 400, and GTA San Andreas for 800 points."

"From today through July 18, you'll be able to get the RDR Undead Nightmare Collection (containing three separate DLC packs) for 1,000 Microsoft Points"
