Namco releases PlayStation2 version Tekken 4 Details and Images
Details and images on Namco's upcoming PlayStation 2 release of Tekken 4 have been released through Enterbrain Inc's Famitsu magazine.

The PS2 version of Tekken 4 is scheduled to be the first "perfect" port from the arcade series, unlike the previous Playstation ports (including PS2's Tekken Tag Tournament) which required some form of edit in graphics or data. As a perfect port, no changes will be made to game or move balances, nor will any additional stages be added.However, extra characters may posssibly be included in the game.

Likewise to the traditional versions of the Tekken console series, team battle, survival, and training mode will be available in the game, as well as a new mini-game. In the home version's arcade mode, each character will have a prologue featuring new hand drawn artwork, and a CG ending movie.

Tekken 4 for the Playstation2 - currently 60% complete, is scheduled for release in March, price undetermined.

Short Comment- Below are images from some of the prologues. I didn't include battle pics, since they're identical to the arcade version.

Short Comment- Low Price High Quality Trading Figures, the Current "Trend"

It's obvious that there's a trend of low price trading figures right now in Japan. Ranging anywhere from 100-500 Yen (that'll be about 1-5 bucks), high quality miniature trading figures -small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, are being sold in random packs in forms of either small boxes or dispensor capsules (those ones in supermarkets).

Some of the currently released include Trigun, Guilty Gear X and Namco Gals. Love Hina and Vampire Savior were also released a few months back. Upcoming releases include Evangelion, Chobits, and- this is my favorite, Metal Gear Solid 2. Damn, I want that Revolver Ocelot.

Short Comment- 10 signs that your son may be a Hacker

Sign #6-
"Does your son use Quake? Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. Many hackers develop anti-social tendencies due to the use of this virtual world, and it may cause erratic behaviour at home and at school. If your son is using Quake, you should make him understand that this is not acceptable to you. You should ensure all the firearms in your house are carefully locked away, and have trigger locks installed."

The site loads slow, but this is hilarious. Check out the full article if you have the time.
