I love turn based games. Possibly because I like to play my DS/PSP etc. while at work. And I can't work AND handle a real time game without pausing it a lot. ;) Most of the JRPGs are awesome because they seem unafraid to take risks or at least seem different than what the Western game companies want to do generally.
5-10mins? I remember playing games on a TI computer in the early 80's. You had a cartridge to start up the game AND then you had to hook a CASSETTE (you know what those are whippersnapper?) player to load up the darn levels. Took forever and of course there was the lovely sound the tape player made I will never forget. Ow my back! .
I used Snow Leopard and I use Lion on my (late 07 Imac). I couldn't really tell much operational difference other than the obvious changes. Maybe if you like to use Rosetta you should stick with SL. But I am no where near a power user of my mac. Hell I don't even use mission control on Lion.
Definitely if you don't want to do jury duty and you do a trick to get out don't brag. My first and so far only stint of jury duty was a murder trial. Nothing like seeing photos of an ugly murder scene when you figured it would just take a few hours to show up and be dismissed.
So..based on this development. One of these 'farm tigers' could take out a lion in a duel. The tiger vs. lion show I watched gave the lion a slight edge and one of the edges was pack hunting.
Don't do what I did when being filed on my first tandem...I flipped the camera off for 90% of the video...I had no concept of time when I was falling and thought it was not quite so long of me being stupid...yeah that DVD is hidden away safely. Perhaps I will request it to be played at my funeral on a loop.
99.5% Retail. I m not going to pay $100 for a memory card to store digital copies of all the games. I generally only play one game at a time as it is and since I am something of a game collector digital is a 'only available digital' sort of thing.
