the internet consists of opinions so surely if an opinion becomes a common one on the internet it can be considered a 'myth' ?

Or he could try Pontic Greek which is somewhere between modern and ancient (though closer to ancient), but what would be the point?

Question.

Was it the Dreamcast that really introduced online gaming? I think there was a system before it that tried it out. Correct me if I'm wrong.

hehe yeah I knew some Pontos peeps - there are a few different variants arent there? - some which have kept some turkish bits - 'sichtir' etc. type stuff. I love some Ponti music from what I've heard. Btw PAOK are playing here (Dublin) on Thursday and I'm going to go hehe.

Nice website btw Zeroax - like your post about emulation :)
