Indeed. From what I read on <a href="http://www.planetxbox.com/shenmuedojo/">Shenmue Dojo</a>, if you get the "What's Shenmue?" demo disc, you can even find Shenmue 2 NPCs wandering around in spots (Izumi, for instance).

Additionally, there are texture files for Ren in the final version of Shenmue 1, among other things. There's all sorts of hacking topics at Shenmue Dojo, go check it out. They uncovered some interesting things.

What the fuck?!? When was Shenmue Online announced?!?

It was announced awhile back. Early August sometime.

If you watch the Saturn Videos on the 4th disc of Shenmue 2 you see a bunch of Shenmue 2 characters walking around all pixelated so I guess they had most of 2 done for its Saturn release too.

Well, just finished Shenmue. I thought it was awesome, and am now seriously considering purchasing an Xbox to play Shenmue 2(Well I have been wanting to get one to play JSRF and Panzar Dragoon Orta for some time now...is the X-box worth $150 or should I wait until the price drops more?). The only thing that dissapointed me somewhat was the fact that you can't look at your collection after you finish the game. Near the end I got a lot more figures during the lunch breaks but never got a good chance to look at them due to the story speeding up. Ah well, more reason to collect them again in Shenmue 2 I guess.

Also got a chance to look at Shenmue Passport. I take it that the Ryo explaining the combat system to you is an early model right? And it seems there are two movies I missed. What were they about?

You can win Space Harrier and Hang-On in the Tomato raffle, which can inexplicably be played on Ryo's Sega Saturn.

Yeah, I did obtain the Space Harrier disc and it was fun to play without paying for it, but I was really hoping that (since they'd already ignored the fact that you couldn't get a Saturn in 1986) they would give you some Saturn classics to play(even though I was sure there wasn't enough space for that I hoped anyway). But Space Harrier and Hang On are both excellent so I'm not complaining.

Funny. Shenmue has gambling but you can't cash in the chips for anything. Damn Japan's "no gambling" law(or is it just Tokyo that does that?).

I'll slap you silly, you pansy.

O....kaaay. Whatever.

But now that I've played Shenmue, Shenmue Online sounds strange to me. Shenmue just doesn't seem like an online game. It's more of a one player experience.

EDIT: One last question though:What. The. Hell. was that schoolgirl looking thing with a Dreamcast for a head?

What. The. Hell. was that schoolgirl looking thing with a Dreamcast for a head?

That's Dreamcasko. She was from a comic that ran in Dreamcast Magazine. They also have characters based on some other Sega systems: Megadra Brother (a towering fellow featuring the original model Mega Drive on top of the original model Sega CD with a 32X, a Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, and something else locked-on to that), Gear-O, and Sataro. No Mark III or SG-1000.

.......I'm so knowledgable about useless things. There was a time in my life when I was a straight A student, then I got tired of academia so I just started mastering stupid things. God, what have I done to myself?

You've become like the rest of the world, thats what.

God, I know. It wasn't supposed to be this way...

Everything I've ever learned is useless, in practical application. I know all sorts of things about natural history and anthropology.

But unless a tyranosaurus rex, a african bull elephant, a pygmy, and an ancient sumarian somehow call meet eachother and decide to kill me - it's information that will never be applied to anything.

Yeah, some of the Calculus I know is so freaking retarded. I'm sure several of you have learned about Taylor and Maclaurin series. You take a function and run it through all sorts of complex shit and what comes out is an approximation of the function. WHY DO YOU NEED AN APPROXIMATION IF YOU NEED THE ACTUAL THING TO GET IT? I don't get why someone would even come up with something like that. Oh well, it helps me sleep knowing that Taylor and Maclaurin are already dead... hopefully.

Infinite series in general suck balls.

The higher up you get in a single subject -- Math, in this case, since we're talking about Calculus -- the more information is learned simply to <i>learn</i> it, not because it has any practical use. Most subjects don't start in that direction until Sophomore year of HS, but Math does that in about the fourth grade.

Math lost me at around long division. Which, yeah, was in the fourth grade. It was all downhill from there.

It's due to infinite series that we can calculate 50 million digits of Pi. Isn't that reason enough?

Megadra Brother (a towering fellow featuring the original model Mega Drive on top of the original model Sega CD with a 32X, a Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, and something else locked-on to that)

I was actually able to snag the first collection of that comic ("Sega no geemu wa sekai ichi") a while ago. I'm sure there's one where he gets more stuff added, but traditionally his body only consists of the SegaCD, Genesis, and 32x. His special attack is twirling his three AC adapters around like some kind of flail. It really looks like it could hurt someone.

Those AC adapters are freaking huge.

Personally, I think that if you're COMPLETELY sure of what you want to do (work) in life, we did'nt needed to study things we're sure we won't use. For example: you may need to know math to take a biology curse, but you'll never need to use phisics when you're cursing journalism (if that's the right name).
