...natural habitat, the keg. He feeds off the energy from the tap, and imagines the kick-ass deposit-return the hosts are gonna get from the liquor store. Hound Dog pours numerous beers for others, has three beers himself, and then leaves to go play some Grand Turismo...
...bombings from triad gang battles. The gambling business?which contributes 75% of Macau's government's revenue and supports the city's only major industry, tourism?has been the exclusive province of Stanley Ho, an elusive 82-year-old casino-and-property tycoon.

After 20 minutes with NFL 2K, the premier game for Sega's new Dreamcast machine, I'm a convert. The football experience is totally realistic. It's almost like being there, right down to the touchdown two-steps and the frosty breath streaming from players' mouths (that is, if you've picked the Vikings and Rams to battle it out in a Minnesota blizzard). Uniforms get dirtier, players...
