The problem is entry-level rates are pathetic. Have you took a look at minimum wage, for example? Working isn't even worth your time and effort if that's all you're getting in return.
you are absolutely right, they should stick to telling kids to cut that hair! welcum teh teksis, redneck centar of teh unavers! aint noone gonna have long hair in our skewls! ten gallin hats are fine tho... hoo-ee!
I always thought that an Iron Chef game would be great. Of course, I would want to see it with a Mortal Kombat presentation. Not the blood and gore, but an over-the-top seriousness that the Japanese series had and Iron Chef America lacks.
Chairman: "Let Kitchen Kombat begin!" "Your cuisine is mine... forever!"
I could see it having a fun, Mortal Kombat character select screen as well. Of course, this would work better with the original Iron Chefs, as they all much more distinctive styles. The sad truth is, the game will probably be a poor imitation of Cooking Momma, which already fell woefully short of its potential. Combine that with the presence of annoying, arrogant ass clowns like Bobby Flay and Michael Symon and you have a disaster in the making.
Things like Pac-man Vs. and Four Swords Adventure don't seem as iffy with a DS. Since it's all wireless, you don't need to run out and buy link cables for everyone to play.:P
In the absence of enlightened people, polytheism typically seems to work a lot better than monotheism. The ancient Egyptians were just trying to get ahead of themselves. Silly Akhenaten.:P
People without the will power to stop themselves from doing something that they don't want to do should die. We don't need any more of their kind in the world. Of course, most of the people want to be doing it anyway.
What you spout is a bunch of politically correct, coddling bullshit. Sometimes the simple act of injecting is a cry for help? Riiight. I guess taking a required half semester of psychology at the local community college has paid off for you, considering you can dissect people so thoroughly and find a way to take blame off of them!
Society would be a lot better off if modern medicine's resources went into trying to solve actual problems as opposed to ones create by weak willed individuals.
The only terrorist organization affecting my life is my own government. Land of the free, indeed! It almost makes one wish that there actually were a bunch of pissed of Arabs assassinating politicians.
Too bad the Daily Show has slowly fallen more and more into lameness with each new coraspondant they get. It's been that way for pretty much ever. Colbert holds his show together very well however. Even his interview segment at the end of the show doesn't seem as boring and tacked on as the Daily Show's always had.
That might be a problem in LA, where the roads are already heavily congressted and most drivers are assholes (like in any city). 55mph is a ridiculous speed limit in most circumstances however. I hate how the completely straight, flat, barren highways around here have an imposing 55 to 65 limit on them and are heavily enforced. Then again, law enforcement has already been good at wasting my tax money by enforcing nonlaws.:P
With Nintendo's online services finally getting off of the ground, I'd like to see more games take advantage of local play between multiple consoles. Every one of the darn things have built-in wireless, so why should console LAN play be so unheard of with them? Just so long as I don't have to have a disc for every system, it'll be alright. The DS has quite a few games that provide smaller clients for temporary multiplayer. I remember when PC games used to have Spawn Installs even, now I have to break the law if I want to play Half-Life on my network without buying three different copies!
I too would be ashamed if I knew the Deep Space Nine episodes so intimately. And here we were talking about Data's visor, who comes from a perfectly decent series instead.
The former are people who suffer from a mental illness - they need treatment and not punishment [...] Great idea! Let's make our already weak justice system even more pathetic by helping all of the poor little criminals out with their personal problems. After all, it's not their fault, it's their "condition".
So you rule out games simply because they're presented from a first-person perspective? If so, you missed possibly the best game of the year, Portal. You also missed Bioshock and Metroid Prime 3, as well as Halo 3 (I wasn't going to mention this, but I couldn't help myself:). All good points, except the previously mentioned Halo. That title in itself is a perfect example of just how stagnate and cliche the FPS genre in particular has gotten for the most part.
So not only is the guy too stupid to take the five minutes to install a DVD burner, but he's also too stupid to take any incriminating files off of his computer before handing it over to someone else!
Titan Quest was pretty darn good! Unfortunately, the formula was a little more confined than Diablo. The levels were rather linear and there certainly wasn't as much gear to possibly collect. That said, I really liked the game and was mesmerized at the swaying, overgrown grass for a good while. I did feel that the later environments were a tad out of place however. There is so, so much that one can do with a Greco-Roman world that there really wasn't much need to shift emphasis toward Egypt, China, and Babylon.
I still haven't gotten around to installing the expansion pack.:(
The media has been doing and wonderful job of either making Kucinich look like a nutcase or just outright ignoring his existence. Being the best candidate for the people quickly earns enemies though, I suppose.
Furthermore, I am disappointed that A&E television would engage in this sort of thing They do have Criss Angel after all. The nearest thing to entertainment that show has going for it is the hilariously pathetic intro song. He is the mindfreak, ya' know.
The Grand Theft Auto series is by no means a good example of a well scripted story. I think a better series to bring up would be the Elder Scrolls. Not only is it much more open than GTA, but it does have a finely crafted plot that transcends multiple installments. I personally can't see Half-Life ever moving fully in that direction, but I do agree that the series is far too linear and one of the reasons I find the sequel especially overrated. Note: Not bad, overrated.

That said, physical media is worth having for archival purposes if nothing else.
Isn't that what the Fantastic Four did?

Bullshit.
Because game journalists tend to be such well informed fountains of knowledge and taste...

Certainly you can prove your point that not all RIAA members are "pop crap" by mentioning Nickleback
LMAO! XD

So, um... in New Soviet Russia, propaganda spells you?
If you're in New York City, then you're already fucked.
