   I know that I figured out the SoR boss scream, I'm just not certain   
   which of the GA screams come from what scene anymore.  I think that long   
   scream from the arcade game that sounds like he's screaming "awe shit"   
   didn't make it for that reason.  ;)

   With Nintendo trying to attract "new gamers" with gimpy controls and a   
   magic wand and MS and Sony trying to force feed me the same damn game   
   they've already released 20 times on the PS2 and Xbox, I really don't   
   see the point.
