After the terrorist attacks, growing security concerns forced the US to develop a system which sole purpose is to filter away the potential troublemakers.
People who are likely to be terrorists are put on a so called "No Fly List" which basically is what it says. There's no way you can get on a plane taking off from the US if your name is found in the registry.
Last week I found a webpage that offers you the unique opportunity to check whether or not your name matches the names on the list. I ran some tests and even though I didn't find myself to be banned from american airplanes, some people you might know are not allowed to fly. Just check out the screenshot below.

I don't know about you, but as far as I've heard, compared to DreamCast, PlayStation 2 is a superior piece of hardware. More raw processing power should be enough to ensure higher quality of game graphics, right? Wrong. I guess it often depends on whether or not programmers can be bothered to code some essential AA into the game. And I don't mean special Alcoholics Anonymous features. I mean anti aliasing.
Radilgy, one of the newer shooters released on DreamCast, serves as a great example of how important anti aliasing really is. But why should Sony people care.
Right after the title screen loads up you're ready to pop a vein. Photos on the left come from the PlayStation 2 version. Photos on the right were shot with the DreamCast version on screen. No GameCube photos, since there would be no visible difference between those on Nintendo's platform and DC ones.
I guess Sony must have missed the importance of anti aliasing in cel shaded games, but who the hell cares. DreamCast version vanished off the shelves in a week and anyone who wanted to play Radilgy would have to get either the PlayStation 2 or the GameCube version. And since there are more PlayStation 2 users, Sony figured the game will sell anyway.
Sadly, sony "we don't care" politics show. Especially in the shoot 'em ups that are released on both DreamCast and PlayStation 2. Psyvariar being another good example. Not to mention crappy ports of arcade games that only got a PlayStation 2 release when it comes to home platforms.
P.S. - Special thanks go to Amazlet, since he was the one who took the [kind of crap] photos.

This might sound like a cheap TV ad, but hey, it's my blog and in here I do and write whatever I want and there's nothing you can do about it, even if it bothers you so much, you want to scream.
It was this summer if I'm not mistaken, when I've finally decided to switch from my trusty Gilette razors to an electric shaver. It took me a while to figure out which one to choose, as there are hundreds of them, and they all have something to offer.
Since it's weekend and I had too much free time on my hands I've made a small video that shows just how waterproof this shaver is. Okay, I could have used a larger container, but couldn't be bothered.
So if you're a diver and you can't be arsed to surface every time you need a shave, just get yourself one of these. Plus the battery really holds what Philips promises. Once charged, you won't charge it again for over a week.

Just like the second game, Final Fantasy WSC will please anyone who wants to spend few hours with a decent RPG title.
As usual, the sound is at Famicom or Game Boy level, which shouldn't bother a fan, or any other gamer for that matter. Even today, musicians compose for Commodore SID or Famicom hardware, so while a bit behind in sound technology, WonderSwan surprises with complex and rock solid soundtrack.
