I see your point Jeff. Here is something to keep in mind. I went over this in the Art of Investing thread because it is really a trade oriented point, but I'll mention it here as well since it has to do with TDFX. When you see the bid/ask spread narrow, it means that someone is trying to open or close (you can't tell which) a rather large position without tipping his hand. A normal spread for TDFX is 1/8 to 1/4. Several times today the spread narrowed to 1/16. So my guess is that jockying for a position is still not over. Sun Tzu

Initial impressions of "Shogo: MAD" Game was selling like crazy at my local EBX. Saw 10 copies snapped up while I was in the store (15 minutes). I grabbed 2 (1 for a friend) and zoomed home. The store also had 2 brands of 12MB Voodoo2 cards for $199 - $50 rebate and 3 brands of Banshee cards for $149 - rebate. Back to the review: The game is just like the demo version, only more so (and better!). Great FPS with tons of explosions, weapons, smooth animation, environments, etc. Side Note: The Title/Credit sequence is visually great IMHO, made more so by the campy music! Game starts easily enough with a simple Mecha mission. Then you move inside a starship and start interacting with the environment as a human being. Simply walk up to things and interrogate them. Lots of things to explore. Things get better (and more mysterious) as time goes on. Verdict: Two (tychion-boosted) Thumbs Up! Highly recommended. (so far...) BTW, don't expect many posts from this Mecha pilot for a couple of days! Clan DD Members: Heads Up! I'll be getting the patch and testing net-play soon. Chip "It's Complicated" Anderson
