1) We were discussing the PS2 as a DVD player, not the quality of the
games. In that sense, a Dreamcast owner can be jealous, since the DC
doesn't play DVDs at all.
2) Every incoherent rant putting forth some false rumor about the PS2 that
I've seen has always pointed out somewhere about how much better the DC
is. I feel qualified to guess that yet another unfounded rumor was started
by a DC fan. Not to say that all DC owners are incoherent, far from it,
just that all incoherent PS2 bashers also are DC owners.
Since I don't want to start some further flame war over this, let me add:
3) Yes, the best games on the Dreamcast are better than the games on the
PS2 at this point. If I had to spend money on a PS2, I probably wouldn't
have gotten one yet. Since I got it as a gift, I'm enjoying it. In no way
do I think it is assured that PS2 games will "blow the DC out of the water"
one day -- it all comes down to the talents of the programmers working on
the games. As a game programmer trained in 3D work, I know what the PS2 is
capable of, and I know that the current games aren't even coming close.
4) The X-Box will still be better technologically than the PS2, and stands
a good chance to be better overall if the programmers can use it. Given
the developers signed up, MS may have another winner on their hands, but
I'm not placing any bets. I still have some large concerns about whether
PC game makers really understand the console market.

Heh. Been a while since that one, but just as funny as it was the first
time it was posted. I spit Coke on my monitor when I read "squeeh wahh" the
first time, and I spit Coke on my monitor again when I read it this time.
Some things never change.
"Jam" was right about one thing, though. Kinda prophetic, even:

Yes he does. I've read all but 1 or 2 of the early ones. Don't get your
hopes up for Timeline. It was VERY disappointing. Such a great
premise....blah....goes nowhere.
As for Jurassic. It is my favorite book, I try and read it once a year.
This year was my eighth time reading it. Just as good every time, and yes
10 times better than the movie.
Lost World. Just a word of note, MC wrote this at the same time that
Spielberg was writing the screenplay. Spielberg didn't want to wait on the
novel so what he did when MC was done was go through and take out what was
cool but pretty much toss the book. So they are not TOTALLY different from
each other but different enough to warrant a read.

This was the first PoS CD that I have bought and listened to, from all the
praising on the group, I decided to fly blindly into this purchase without
ever hearing them. I am impressed. I like it a lot. I have listened to it
about 5 or so times, and I do have to say by about track 8 it is time to
move on to a different CD, but that will change with more listens. I
haven't been able to grasp the lyrics though without the booklet, either.
So are the others worth buying?

I downloaded it, and have yet to take it into Virtual PC to check it out see
if it works, I will let you know.

No one's gonna flame ya for that, Kurt. After all, "it's your life" :)

P.S: I'm not afraid to admit that I think Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" is a
catchy little tune.

Please pardon my ignorance, but could someone explain
a little more how a boot tree works? I saw things
like leaves and branches and stuff and tried to figure
it out. I would definately love to have the technical
difficulty show, however I have no boots of my own to
trade.
Also, a friend of mine played a disc for me the
other day of this guy named Buckethead. Has anybody
ever heard of him? He is nuts! Les Claypool plays
bass on the cd I heard, and the drummer is from a band
called Praxis(hope I spelled it right), which I
haven't heard of. If you haven't heard his stuff, you
should give it a try.

The problem I have with early Sava-stuff is the sound quality is so bad on
the recordings. Its from back in analog days and it sounds like it was
recorded on a boom-box.
It would probably be more appealing if they could remaster or redo all the
old, but nobody would buy it anyway.
I think Savatage has stalled out, I was really into them a couple of years
ago. But when a band doesn't release anything for so many years its hard to
support them. I still love their music but they've let me down the past few
years. I think commericalized TSO got in the way.
I'm afraid what their upcoming album is going to sound like. Of course
they've had years to work on it so it better be good.
