GF, eh? I suppose you have a copy of Duke Nukem Forever as well?
So we can all argue about why it's being released on XBox, but not PC, extoll how much better it will be than D3, complain about the code not being OSS, point out miniscule contradictions in the screenshots, post mirrors, make jokes, argue about why it's being released on XBox, but not PC, extoll how much better it will be than D3, complain about the code not being OSS, point out miniscule contradictions in the screenshots, post mirrors, make jokes, argue about why it's being released on XBox, but not PC, extoll how much better it will be than D3, complain about the code not being OSS, point out miniscule contradictions in the screenshots, post mirrors, make jokes, bitch about dups, get off into some tangent about video cards, and make jokes.
You're new here, aren't you?
Any sufficiently well-organized Government is indistinguishable from bullshit.
"Halo 2 is a lot like Halo 1, only it's Halo 1 on fire, ...
going 130 miles per hour through a hospital zone,
being chased by helicopters and ninjas
And, the ninjas are all on fire, too."

I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you XBox fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a XBox (a 8600/300 w/mod chip) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this XBox, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Gotham Racing will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even Tony Hawk Underground is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various XBoxes, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a XBox that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the XBox's faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the XBox is a superior machine.
XBox addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a XBox over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
The Kerry camp is claiming that Kerry's Halo record is more distinguished than George W. Bush's.
