So wait, the army wants to test super sophisticated equipment... in WoW? Um, why? And how? Not only are they comparing apples to oranges, they are publicizing it to laughable proportions. This is the stupidest thing i've heard from the army all month, and this month just started!
No, that would be too invasive and upset a large number of Mormons.
A more practical solution would be to have a small flash applet that can take a picture of the user via the user's webcam. Then instruct the user to undress and center their genitalia and take a picture. It would be easy to code an analysis algorithm that can differentiate between a cock (long and hard) and a cunt (round and slimy).
The only problem, though, would be the occasional false-positive generated from a Chinese man.
I bet Atari knows that Race07 isn't as successful as they want, so they turn to negative advertisement to spread the word. I think most of us at slashdot knows that the more a game is pirated, the more popular it is.
If you want something that runs 21st century software and games, buy Vista or Windows 7.
No, thats a common misconception. Windows XP runs 21st century software just fine (and better, IMO), and you will barely notice any difference between Direct X 9.0c and Direct X 10 (crisper shadows is about the only difference); Direct X 10 is overrated.
It depends what the definition of a "video game" is.
If it is anything that can produce visuals that can be manipulated by humans, then yes, Tennis for 2 was the first video game. However, it was not programmed; it is a serious of electrical hard-hacks and an oscilloscope.
It is something that is programmed with software, than Space Wars was the first video game created.
Dude, I know exactly what would happen if this were taken up in US court: The Judge would through it out because its a waste of tax dollars.
I mean, come on, if you read the EULA for Second-Life, you know that your pretty much fucked if you a) Willingly share your account logon credentials and b) The other person deletes it.
Sometimes I can't believe how stupid Japan's law enforcement can be. They wasted 620 miles of gas on such a stupid accusation.
"ZOMG I hope this isn't another cave mission, my insurance will be super mad if i'm transported into the middle of a rock again, i hate the commander, i bet hes a neo-nazi homosexual transvestite"
I see, so is The Ring the first scary movie you've ever seen? That movie was so boring; It was easy to predict what was going to happen next. I dunno, maybe i'm too desensitized.
And for Doom 3, just use the duct tape mod; that made the game much less annoying.
Resolution and playing field are two different things, especially when the game is built with polygons instead of sprites. SC2 should be able to support multiple resolutions and still keep the same playing field; the only difference would be more crisp graphics.
In the spirit of single-player stories, how many sequels are better than the original? Reusing the same heros from SC1 as the main characters in SC2 is a bad idea, IMO. I've seen enough of Kerrigan and Raynor in SC1. I want new characters with fresh personalities and attitudes. It would be fine to use them to introduce new characters during the first couple introductory levels, but not as the main characters throughout the entire game.
I've taken a military aptitude test, actually, and they accepted any idiot that scored over 20%. I got 29 out of 30 questions right, yet I decided the job was not for me because of their low standards.
Blending music and games depends on the eye and ear of the beholder. Developers will choose what they think blends best for their game. Gamers will, obviously, enjoy games they believe have been blended well.
Some Non-Orchestra game music I really like are from the classics such as Mega Man, Castlevania, and *gasp* that one song in Bubble Bobble that repeats continuously.
Some Orchestra game music I really like are from Final Fantasy 6 & 7.
And possibly my favorite at the moment is old 50's music, such as "How much is that doggy in the window" in Bioshock; it just makes the atmosphere 3 times as creepy, and i love it.

I request to have the tag "duh" added to this thread.
Custards Revenge.
Why? To show future generations that raping Native American women is really, really funny.
lol, mod up!
Under your program, are wifes redistributable?

Gears of War 1 was totally overrated. I felt like i wasted my money. Who is responsible for the !overrated tag?!? I demand answers!

You are likely to be eaten by a GRU.
There, fixed that for ya.

Multi-player, however, will kick ass.
So he can write notes on a piece of paper during yesterday's town hall debate, but he can't type? Last I checked, both requires the use of fingers.

Knowing how computer-literate military personnel are, i'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that interesting:
"He hacked the webs!"
"Which webs?!"
"All the webs!'
Sometime before Duke Nukem Forever is released.
The Denver Broncos?
