    The worst war in history occurred only 60 years ago, 22 million people were killed and you have the gall to be dicussing some games machine???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!

    The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about the Atheist (and blasphemous, I might add) OS, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!

  7. X-Box, should you buy one? by WebBug · · Score: 0, Troll

    Even if the X-box is the best gaming console out there, should you buy one?

    My answer is no.

    Microsoft has demonstrated that they are interested in one thing only, short term Profit. Which translates into total control of the market. In the past, that total control of the market has translated into poor quality, poor stability, feature bloat, and increasing cost of ownership.

    If you want a game console that offers Quality, Stability, and Usability then I say that you should consider the long term consequences of Microsoft ownership of the game console market.

    Arguably, the X-box is already demonstrating its Heritage.

    If I were you, I would seriously consider my game console purchase in light of the PC market and the long term consequences.

    The same goes for the "dotNet" initiative. Marketing ploy or genuine interest in what is best for the internet?

    My 2 cents.
