I skipped homework to play video games. I also skipped homework to learn the skills to make games.
i like games so much i got a job where i make them.
Clearly video games are controlling my life. All my decisions revolve around them. If not for this cursed addiction, i could have supported my wife and family as a doctor or lawyer rather than a video game developer!
As a guy who just likes to play games, i am not asking for a fencing simulation. All i want is a game where i can make some broad slashes and thrusts and have my avatar follow. I think when most people say they want a swordfighting game for wii, they want something with simple, reliable controls.
Punchout is certainly not a boxing simulation, but it's a good example of how a stripped down simplified and reliable control scheme can really suck you into a game.
hopefully, with the motion plus, developers will be better able to tell the difference between swinging up and holding the wiimote slightly sideways and swinging horizontal.
I thought the dotcom bust taught us that after you spend your venture capital on aeron chairs, razor scooters, and indoor beaches, you need to actually do something that makes money.
i got this virus on my vista machine. It runs at boot. It's constantly trying to install other software like mobile me and safari. It constantly tries to reboot my machine at the worst times. And worst of all half of my music files won't play on any other machine since i got this virus.
It seems likely that osx is also susceptable to the itunes virus
Sounds like a horrible idea. Most of my neighbors are renters. I have never even met many of the property owners. Who's going to go in on the fiber connection with me?
While in my utopia a fiber connection would be just as attractive an add on to a rental property as a dishwasher or off street parking, I know it's not that way for most people. Hell, many of the units around me don't even have central air yet.
Luckily under the current system, i can get uverse regardless of my neighbors

play all the newest things very smoothly with graphics about ~4x more complex than a PS3 or 360 can handle
To bad you will be playing a game that's only.25x as fun as castle crashers
But you are critiquing it as if it were Diablo II without health potions. It's diablo 3 and they are trying to tune it to this health orb system.
I doubt orbs are the only source of health either. d1 & 2 both had weapon attributes that allowed you to leach life. It just wasn't that sought after because you could load up on potions.
if you did buy all of apple's stock, you could pay yourself whatever you wanted from apple's coffers. You could even give yourself a billion dollar bonus in good years.
And maybe, just maybe, use your influence to get an iphone at $200 without being eligible for an at&t hardware upgrade. Clearly it would be worth the $150 billion.
I'm an old man, and I find it's too much work for me to skip commercials. I've got to push that button, then push it again. I often overshoot the show, so i have to rewind and zero in on the end of the commercial.
I'd rather fill the space with some conversation, or make a peanut butter sandwich, or work on my laptop.
NASA,
I'm looking for a job where i don't have to do anything but get paid for it. With all the money you have saved on your game, perhaps you could employ me .
I was under the impression that this is just an XPS 1730. The top of the line package starts at $4,431. Yeah, you pay some for the wow branding, but it's an expensive piece of hardware without it.
It seems more like a Gran Turismo Ps3 that costs the same as an 80 gig ps3. It's an 80 gig ps3, but maybe someone will buy it based on how much they liked a game on the ps2.

Agreed. I'd say the fact that this topic always generates such heated discussions is evidence that games ARE art.

So you think every game should take >13 years to develop? Cause that's how long it's taking 3d realms to give us more aliens on toilets.
The founders (perhaps for pragmatic reasons--no public education at the time) considered "common" people to be too dumb to vote.
This still seems true today.
I get nothing but appreciation as a Medic in TF2. My team mates absolutely adore me.
Well, sometimes i get a knife in the back.
It doesn't take that long. I know several joes who ran into the 5 machine limit because their work machines changed.

if everybody was charging their car at night, wouldn't night be the new peak hours?

Like USB, you don't want to plug that cable into the wrong port.
Spinner rims are far from useless. People always give me the right of way at intersections as they assume i'm already moving.
I assume the site in question is the pirate bay. It all boils down to how much trust you want to put in someone who calls themself a pirate.

Slashdot has gotten to the point where we aren't even reading the title?

I defy you to show us a stabbing appendage that doesn't look phallic.

Either way, you will likely have to teach the theory rather than the application.
The interface of cs3 hardly resembles photoshop 7 anymore. Either PS 7 or The Gimp are well suited to teaching the basics of manipulating bitmaps.
The Gimp has the benefit of being freely (and legally) available to your students for home use.
Of course, this is high school. I can't imagine trying to keep a bunch of high school kids in line while teaching them something called, "The Gimp"
While World of Warcraft is not that demanding on hardware, there are plenty of other games that are.
There isn't any stipulation that WoW is the only game you can play on this. It's simply a high end gaming laptop that happens to be WoW themed.
Or maybe some people just want to play WoW on a laptop that can also handle Vista Aero :P
