Nah, just wait until we're in our 60's and 70's, and we can rename ourselves the "Greatest Generation." Since we'll be old and annoying, people will cut us slack and let us do that.
I've been waiting for this for years, and these guys do quality work. Of course, QFG2 is probably my favorite PC game of all time, and I've often thought QFG2's storyline would make a pretty good movie.
A number of states have already told the feds to "suck their balls" in regards to the "REAL ID" program. This is quite well known, so I'm not sure why/. is serving up a fud sandwich.
To increase your marketability, take as many business/mgmt classes as possible. Also, get a part time job or internship so you can network. Knowing things besides how to code (and building a good network) will likely be the most important factors in you getting a job.
It seems like the primary voters (in NH, at least) are still weary of Obama's chances at winning a general election - when they should be more concerned about HRC's chances given her huge negative numbers.
If Obama can start putting forth specific action plans rather than vague generalizations (inspiring as his speeches may be), then he has the potential to crush HRC on Super Tuesday.
The only candidate who is certified bat-shit crazy....
Google "the New Republic Ron Paul".
Some interesting Ron Paul newsletters from the 80's and 90's were reported on yesterday. Essentially, the guy is a homophobic, anti-semitic, racist douchebag.
Michigan was stripped of its delegates because the state Dem party moved up the primary without the blessing of the DNC. The candidates have already agreed not to spend any time there. On the republican side: If McCain can beat Romney in MI, Romney will be against the ropes and will likely have to consider withdrawing from the race, as it'd be an embarressing defeat.
If they had had the foresight (or even just the balls) to put HD-DVD in to the Xbox 360, the article would be the other away around. You're neglecting the fact that they likely had the foresight that consumers did not want to pay $600 for a console, which is what the 360 would have cost had an HD-DVD drive been bundled in.
Is this the same government that banned cocaine because of the fear that African-Americans would take it and rape white women? Or the same government that banned marijuana in a racist move against Mexicans, and banned opium in a similiar move against Asians? Try watching "Hooked: The Drug Years," which comes on the History Channel on occasion. Very informative.
GH3 "easier"? Not sure about that. It's certainly more forgiving on the timing of hitting the notes, but Rock Band actually has you hit notes that "feel" like you're playing the song.. whereas GH3 throws as much shit in there as possible to make things as difficult as they can be. GH3 hard = GH2 expert. Rock Band hard = GH2 Medium. Regardless of what's more difficult, I agree that Rock Band is definitely the better game, and a lot more fun to play as well.
Compared to guitar hero, the set list is a cakewalk. The only song that is difficult is Green Grass and High Tides on Expert - by the time you get to the endless HO's/PO's, your arm/wrist feels like it's jello.
Does this mean that we're going to get "Reality Gaming"? Actually, Reality TV is produced on the cheap with little (if any) writers. In fact, if the strike carries on, when the backlog of prime time episodes runs out sometime in January, expect to see a large number of reality shows hitting network TV for this very reason.
America turned into a bunch of pussies because of one lousy (OK, it was pretty good, but it was still just one) attack. I am from Germany and we went through this before. You'd think that a German would be more sensitive to the fanatical mindset. Apparently not. Also, it's considered pretty poor taste to call an attack "pretty good."
Why is AT&T supporting pollution by requiring 10,000 employees to begin commuting to an office once again? I just asked my boss if I could telecommute using this argument. His exact words? "Fuck the planet."
Agreed. Nintendo has really pigeon-holed themselves, to a certain extent. Casual gamers see Nintendo as the Mario company (and to a lesser extent, the Zelda / Donkey Kong / Pokemon company). It will be difficult for them, along with 3rd party developers, to come up with new IPs that will sell more than a few hundred thousand copies. Granted, Super Mario Galaxy will sell millions of Wiis, but without other high quality games that casual gamers will embrace, the Wii risks becoming merely another Gamecube.

No shit. I had the version without voice acting, so it looks like I missed out. Oh, and QFG2: Trial by Fire is better.

To a Ron Paul supporter, I can imagine that logic would be a crazy thing.

Yes. That momentum thing really worked out well for Obama. Good point.

Didn't we (the US) threaten to "bomb Pakistan back to the stone age" unless they cooperated with the war on terror?
I'll get an axe.
So.. "Because he's a douchebag" isn't an ample reason?
Is anyone surprised? I hope Take Two gets fined... for releasing such a horrible game.
