Will Sony make a special version of Windows for PS2's HDD, like the
one showed in this picture of the desktop?
Joe: No. Windows is a Microsoft product, so the only place you’d
be seeing a Windows desktop is on the Xbox .

Hey there,
I was just wondering if you know how to work for the Videogame
Industry?? I am a hardcore gamer and have been playing videogames
for a long time and I want them to be my future. I am starting
College in the fall and I just want to know if you guys know what do
I have to have or do to work for it. Thanks!!!!
Joe: The easiest way into most positions (although you didn’t
specify) is by becoming a gaming tester. Although the pay sucks and
many times the job can be annoying by having to repeatedly play
crappy games, it’s probably the best first step you can take.
Testing can lead to many different areas (developing, PR, etc.).

Is it true that the PS2 network adapter, that will be in the U.S.
later on this year, have 56k and broad band capabilities; will the
adapter connect onto the hard drive or can it connect with out; and
what is the price of the adapter (if you don't know it in U.S.
dollars, give me the price in yen).
Joe: From my understanding the adapter is only broadband. Too bad
for those without the fat pipes, but Sony really wants to be the
first to head into the next generation of net connection. A final
price is yet to be determined.

Yo Joe you know what a game sometimes has some crapy graphics but it
is how interising the game is not if it has some crapy graphics.Why
do you that that FF7 had the recored for most games sold in the
frist week i think but that is not the point the point is that the
game can have some pretty gay graphics but if the game has a good
story and good game play who cares.So that is one thing that i realy
have to say look man well bomber man has some gay graphics but i
alot fo people still like the game.So no that one thing about your
thing about the cunersal about that thing and saying that the
graphic are gay no one care people only care about who the game is
and if it can calange there so called gameing abelitys so this is to
you Joe saying that no one cares alot abouy 3D or stuff like that it
can be in 2D and still be a great game so don't jugdea game by the
graphics jugde it by the gameplay as you said just like everyone
else so this is a real person saying real stuff about games and i an
out
p.s. if you want to talk just e-mail me at Pokefighter8@aol.com also
i am a 13 so don't think that i don't know how to play PEACE!
This is Pokefighter8 over and out!
Joe: I didn’t
know graphics could be homosexual? (Or for you literals, happy).

well i want to know if playsation2 is ever going to get zelda and if
yes tell me cause it would be cool if they do make it for
playstation2 well thanks
Joe: Yup, also look forward to PS2-exclusive releases of Mario,
Metroid and Star Fox, respectively.

why does everyone diss on FF8. is it because they couldnt figure out
the junction system or how to make the GFs learn abilities. I do not
understand. I thought FF6 kicked ass and i thought FF7 kicked even
more ass. FF8 was even greater and then FF9 was on about the same
level as FF7. Anyhow i just dont understand why everyone disses on
FF8. It had awesome gameplay and an awesome story. Ive read the FFx
is goin to be made by the same team to made FF7 and FF8 so hopefully
it will be even better than those two. anyhow i know my grammer is
bad and this email will probably end up on the joke page but i just
had to say that i am regular 22 year old who isnt some kinda video
game nerd, i just like a good game with a good story and i know that
ff8 kicked ass, enough said.
Joe: No one liked FF8 because FF8 sucked donkey pooh.
We don’t have a joke page by the way, but if you think my
untimely, stupid responses are actually humorous, thanks!

i have a question. My friend and i both own PS2 consoles. i
purchased mine on release night, he got his in like the second or
third wave. i am an avid gamer, who waited on a list for a year
before i got mine. i take great lengths to ensure a high calibur
gaming experience. Power line filtration, gold cables, video
modulator, i even found a DVD upgrade that works on the DVD driver
in the PS2! So you can imagine my dismay when, while trying to show
my friend my superiority, i found every driver on his PS2 upgraded
to 1.2. He doesn't know how or why, and i have been searching and
cannot find the answer
Joe: Everyone come together, point a finger and laugh at him!

uh, this concerns my playing Armored Core on PS2. first off, if
you've played it then please write a review so every one else will
know how sorry it was compared to AC one on PSx. The gameplay was
pretty good, along with the graphics. the arena battles was a nice
touch. but what bothered me was the Missions. the original Missions
were more of a tactical challenge. this was just literally
"shoot and destroy." the ac's were way to easily
destroyed. in AC 1, you had to actually try to destroy the enemies,
but in this game it was mostly one hit kills. if you've ever played
the original AC then you'd see that the sequel was a big
disappointment from the original game. i would say that it's a good
rental but not one for keeps. P.S. versus mode was horrible.
Joe: Thank you very little.
