Slashdot Mirror

This reminds me of the dude that paid almost $800 for an Xbox Box on eBay.

So let's see, rumble technology is soooo last generation, but we've made an expensive agreement to offer it for anything new we've developed. We can force anyone who's rich enough to have bought a PS3 to buy new controllers to upgrade. (If they really want this ancient technology.)

PS3 owners should be really exploiting the motion sensitivity of the PS3 as this is sooo current generation. So current generation that our developers haven't made many games for it. (Although the Wii is obviously a gimmick.)

Our supply system is so good, that we have PS3s sitting on people's shelves. (Although I defy anyone of you from trying to find any PS3s!)

I feel so sorry for the SONY PR department. I honestly don't think the Sony Playstation development department knows what they're doing at all with the PS3 anymore. The PR department is running around trying cover up the Sony Product Development blunders with every step they take.

Half-Life 2 - DRM so restrictive that most people did not bother buying it.
 
Um? Bullshit?
 
Tell you what, skippy, you come up with some PROOF that HL2 didn't sell well. I'm sorry, but to make the claim that HL2 didn't sell well without some REAL figures behind it is laughable. In the meantime, stop making up shit to make an arguement.
 
Better yet, I'll prove you wrong: HL2 sold over 1.7 million copies in two months.
 
Or is this another "slashdot effect" where an article was posted and because a dozen guys said they weren't going to buy/support Product X because of DRM/MS Tax/Not OSS that you suddenly think that they speak for the majority? Nigga, Please. In all seriousness a dozen guys on slashdot boycotting any product is just that, a dozen guys. The vast vast vast majority of all game buying dollars are spent without the consultation of slashdot. Don't get hung up on a few guys getting an "insightful" mod meaning anything more than it is at face value. Slashdot has, at most, 50-75K active users. In the sea of video game buyers it's a very very small number and the number of people on here who actually give a damn about crap like DRM is very small. The vast majority of PC gamers I know either don't know about slashdot, don't care about slashdot or come on here to troll and little more.
 
Again, your "fact" is fairly limp and until you can quote me a serious source of this information showing me that over 1.7 million units (in two months!) is a "failure" I have little choice but to scoff.

Pac man is a little more questionable. Without any limbs, it severely limits the possible attacks ha can do.

Pac-Man has limbs

Actually, most of the sources I've read agree that the nude content was shipped with the game, and unlocked pretty much the same as hot coffee. Here's a couple:

Do you have a source that says it did not ship with the game?

Nice correction. I'm also wondering why Warcry felt the need to post the picture of a zombie from another recently-released game: Stubbs the Zombie.

the "what is" feature is not new though, thats all I'm saying.. they added it to the search with "define" in 2003, and started parsing "what is" kind of stuff in 2004

A bit of shameless plugging, but I have saved a collection of links to different Gmail tools from around the Web here.
