   Not only that, but Sega is not accepting any new subscriptions for the   
   Gamecube version. Blue Burst on the PC and PSU is what you're permitted to   
   sign up for now.

   If you consider that the cut scenes are rendered with the game engine and   
   not as FMV segments, it's not all that bad. Ethan Waber has different   
   outfits for every occasion at the whim of the player, and so pre-rendered   
   cut scenes wouldn't represent that right. Also, if you watch carefully   
   it's not really the animation so much as it is the motion capture that   
   stinks.   
      
   And now, our off-topic content:

   One of my cats is blind, and so grew up for a short while being unable to   
   hunt or feed himself. He has no ability to regulate his own diet. :)   
      
   >"inside cat" diet food.  The litter box had been my primary area of

   Unfortunately, the solution is to have two litter boxes. You stick them   
   side by side, and you clean one more often than the other. Eventually, the   
   older one will find out that he prefers a clean litter box to the smelly   
   one, even if he made the smell.
