The problem is that you need jailbroken iphone, which wont be so easy for average joe. There wont be final resolution before Apple also learns that restricting so much is a bad decision.
Out of curiosity, have you even jailbroken an iPhone?
I'm going to say that for an average Joe, jailbreaking an iPhone is *not* a problem assuming said average Joe both knows how to read and owns a computer with internet access.
Maybe the "below-average" Joes who have an iPhone, but either do not know how to read or do not have a computer with internet access would have a problem figuring out how to jailbreak, but the truly average ones, they won't have any trouble at all.
OP here (I guess I forgot to log in before)
Actually, when I posted I was fully aware of the difference between cue and queue, but as referenced in #28442905 I was in fact referring to expecting a line of obfuscation != security posts to form, because/.ers really have some great arguments against it and I was hoping to get to read a lot of them.
The games will most probably have all of the great tricks fixed that made Prime such an amazing game.
Dash jumping, triple bomb jump, rapid fire missiles, and so on. It was great to take the game engine to its limits without technically cheating.
Not only that, Prime1/2 had an amazing control scheme, 3 just used the wii remote as a gimmick IMO.
For info check.

I agree that the controls on the GC versions of Metroid were great, but they were the only first person perspective games on a console I could stand to play, and that was probably only *because* they were Metroid games.
The infrared aiming done by the Wiimote in MP3 is a lot more "keyboard and mouse" like, and once I got my hands on the Japanese remake of Metroid Prime and patched it to English I've only been able to even touch my GameCube Metroid discs once, and that was to see what it was like playing them with a controller instead of a Wiimote
What is was like was using a web browser without adblocking/mouse gestures/tabs once you have gotten used to having them. You just aren't able to go back to a clunky stiff and slow product once you have used a better version of it.
I just discovered this game tonight, and it will REALLY surprise me if it comes back without being polished up - because yes... the game is boring. Your main mission is to save a couple of guys. Thats it. No big bosses, simple battles the whole way.
Is it just me, or does it seem confusing how it could be possible for the first post, with ACTUAL CONTENT in it and not just "I'm first fags!" could be modded Redundant?
I mean seriously, it's the first post, what posts came before it that it is repeating to be called redundant?
Is this limited to just PC? Because, yeah, I know it's popular to hate on the Xbox 360, but Xbox Live Arcade has some pretty nice stuff on it, especially lately. Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars 2, etc.
And then there's the Wii with WiiWare and I think the PS3 has some stuff too;-)
Don't talk such rot, everybody knows there are no games on the Playstation 3.:-)
But yeah, TPB is great for WiiWare.
As one of the few people who actually tried playing Shadowrun on PC despite the horrible reviews (hooray for piracy groups letting me play Shadowrun on a pair of Win XP machines with 512 of RAM) I have to say the game really _isn't_ as bad as everyone thinks it is.
My wife and I play Shadowrun over our LAN (both Win XP machines) almost every day and have a blast against the bots. The weapons and classes are all very balanced and even though there are some common setups (Trolls with miniguns, Elves with swords) there isn't really any of the usual everyone trying to use the same weapon that there is in the other simple multiplayer shooters (eg. the lightning gun in Quake, guass gun in Half-Life, AWM in Counter-Strike, etc.) The layout and design of the maps are great, the controls are smooth and responsive (even on a machine with 512 of RAM like I said before, HALF of the minimum requirement and a quarter of the recommended), the character models are pretty good looking, and from my experience this game had everything going for it other than the alleged Vista only compatibility and the Shadowrun name.
I think the problem with Shadowruns demise (other than the closing of FASA) was with the reviewers scaring people away from playing it. What the reviewers were trying to review was a game that is LIKE Shadowrun, instead of jsut reviewing the game as it is and ignoring the fact that the game had Shadowrun in it's name. Another great, but mostly overlooked, game dodged a similar fate. Project Snowblind, the REAL Dues Ex 3, had people working on it who knew people wouldn't like it if it carried the Dues Ex name, because a team shooter wasn't what people would _expect_ a Dues Ex game to be like so they changed the name to Project Snowblind and released it to mostly good reviews.
Would they have gotten any of the good reviews if the exact same game was released named Dues Ex 3, instead of Project Snowblind?
Stop letting great games die because of reviewers, and try the games for yourself. And when reading a "user" review of a game stop reading if you get to the line "I haven't played it, but..." because if you read about games like Shadowrun that is how most of the reviews begin.
It would probably work out pretty well for them. I mean the way people flock to $sport - $year games, The Sims franchise, and the Battlefield franchise they would probably easily have more than half of the gamers in America right there.
Illegal for them to distribute, or illegal for the user to download? Neither, in some countries it can be used to obtain illegal software. For example giving residents of the United States the ability to play copy protected DVD's or audio compressed with mp3 without the user paying a royalty fee.
Automatix in itself is no more illegal than Firefox or Internet Explorer, they are also just tools that "could" be used for illegal purposes, like viewing child pornography.
This is old news, well Automatix being dangerous in general I mean not Mr. Gattett's report.
Automatix has been referred to by many as a tool to "enhance" Ubuntu by lazy users who do not care about system security or stability since Breezy Badger.
Yes, CCleaner is still working fine. I've used that for a while for uninstalling things because of how much faster it builds the list of uninstallable items than the standard uninstallation tool.
My upgrade from Dapper to Edgy went perfectly, just as Hoary to Breezy and Breezy to Dapper did (I've been on the same installation since Hoary). The only 'nightmare' I had during the upgrade was having to work on my wifes Windows XP machine while gksu "update-manager -c" said that Edgy was 4 hours and 1600-something packages away.

Assuming that the US release of the "New Play Control" Metroid Prime is going to be mostly the same as the Japanese release that has been out for a while (and is easily playable in English by people with homebrew enabled Wii's) all of those things are still there.

Anyone want to make some bets on how many days before the game gets released people will be playing the songs in Frets on Fire?
(referring to how GH3 and GH-80s were both converted to FoF well before retail release)
... going to make something other then emulators and ports of Doom/Quake/Etc?
There is a port of Quake, and it works very well. http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_apps/Quake Controls work very similarly to Metroid Prime 3 if you have played that.
Wow, something _other_ than. I fail at reading.
