July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

I want to kick Yu Suzuki in the balls right now.

I kinda saw magical powers coming into play in the storyline, but making the next Shenmue game a MMORPG.

Too much disappointments.
