Well, Verizon realizes how big the gaming industry is and it has jumped in. Surprisingly, I think it'll make quite the splash. They just launched their Games-On-Demand service and for $14.95/mo you can play full version PC games. I was thinking they'd list old games that never made it far (and there are some of those) but there are actually some really nice games on the list. I've found quite a few that I've played or have always wanted to play. Check it out here: http://verizon.exent.com/ga... ......
Awhile ago I posted that I sensed the demise of the Nintendo LameBoy monopoly. Well, I may be exagerrating since I do believe Nintendo has staying power and may be able to step up to the plate.

I frequently made this comment to many people: You ......

Looks like they're in the process of launching it still which means you can't seem to register yet. Going to keep my eye on it. Initial impressions are that it's full of advertising, so we'll see if the content is worth it. 2. Warhammer 40k fans may want to consider getting in the Warhammer 40k Dawn of War beta. I'm not a big fan of RTS's, but ......

Justin King blogged about Amazon's new search engine. I looked at it, installed their very Google like toolbar and tried it out. The SiteInfo popups on the search results page were cool. Then I clicked on the toolbar button that said “mark@schmidt6.com's History” and lo and behold, I was taken to http://a9.com/-/search/edit... and their I saw all the websites I had just visited after installing the toolbar.
