Apple Eyeing EA?

Yeah I heard something like this while back. Supposedly all the big console companies were thinking of buying up their own studios and divvying up the market. Nintendo was going to buy Capcom, Sony was gonna get Square, and Microsoft was going to get EA. Strange how that never came to fruition.
Back during the depression here in Canada our government passed a law stating if your head were smaller than a common baseball you were exempt from all laws. It's one of those tactics governments use during difficult economic times. There's some thought that it helps drives innovation. In the case of Louisiana, it's likely they want to boost the robotics industry. No human animal hybrids means science will have to focus on cyborgs. In the case of the Canadian baseball head law, they were trying to reduce the number of violent hat thefts; which were quite common during the depression.
I assume that since Capcom's responsible for this game key features which are included on the game disk will only be unlocked after I pay them extra for it.
Silent Hill officially ended with 3. That's when the creators decided to finish everything up and that was that. I see no reason to continue playing the series. I know other people play it for the horror atmosphere, but even then it took a nose dive when it was taken over by a different developer. I'm no fan of bringing back stories that the creators decided to finish or are unable to continue for some other reason. Say as a result of being hit by a truck for example..
You understand that Capcom pulled this 'feature' from the game before shipping it so they could gouge customers at a later date right? This sort of thing comes free with pretty much every other game. You could just as easily play one of those and not give these scumbags your money, which may or may not drive home the point that customers want a completed game for their $60.
For one thing it's illegal to remove a watermark from an image, so if somebody takes one of your pics then crops out your CC that won't be good for them. Also to prove you took the picture you need a copy of it with a date on it. Digital copies carry that information with them. Also I imagine having the high rez unaltered version of the image would help too.
Explain to me how making games more expensive will make people less likely to stab others? If anything it'll raise stabbing incidents because people will have to take up robbery to afford the video games. Then they'll just wind up in prison, and it's nothing but stabbing in there.
The thing is, this is what was in the comic. It's not a matter of arguing it. They had the squid for a reason. If they wanted it to be Dr. Manhattan they would have gone that route, but they didn't.
You just have to ignore the whole part of the story where Ozymandias has to get rid of Dr. Manhattan so he won't be able to stop him from executing his plan. Dr. Manhattan can't solve the worlds problems anymore so people have to work it out on their own. That's the general idea.
The ending is ruined though

They ditched the giant squid in the end and blamed everything on Dr. Manhattan instead. The people who made the movie claimed that part had the same effect as the book. Really that's nothing like the book, and it misses the whole point. Makes me wonder what mook decided that'd be a better ending than the original.
What're you basing this on? Message boards have been around since the dawn of the web. They're still going strong. You can just look at Facebook as an upgraded form of message board. It makes communications comparatively easier than email, and instant messaging. So I don't really see how it's going to wind up being a bad memory. Unless they really bugger things up and determine that they've been selling peoples credit card numbers to terrorists. Even then, I doubt people would care..
Funny thing about Videotron is they're on really really good terms with the government. I mean REALLY good. A few years back Rogers made a bid to buy out Videotron, and the Québec government stepped in and blocked the deal. So you can't expect Videotron to be too concerned about violating regulations or laws, or anything to that effect.
Honestly. My cable company just raised my bill per month by $10, so I canceled my cable all together. If they're complaining about internet stealing all their business they should take a look at the sort of terrible programming they're offering. I wanted 3 extra channels on my cable package, but I couldn't just get just those channels, I had to get an additional 200 channels I didn't want and an additional $30 on my bill. The internet's rightly stealing their business because when you go online you can watch whatever the hell you want whenever you want. It's a pretty clear case of an anachronistic business model complaining that the new better ways are digging into their bottom line.

Holy buttons. One thing I'm looking forward to with this is being able to stream my own MP3's into the game.
Last summer I picked this game up for the original xbox. Totally great but the soundtrack is horrendous even for a fighting game.
You sound just like the Chinese prime-minister in disguise! You probably got that '+5 insightful' from your hired Chinese hackers!!
Just kidding! I'm really glad he's on the mend.

A Final Fantasy game without a contrived storyline is like a gallbladder without bile.

Does this mean I get my $100 back from when my 360 broke two weeks after the warranty expired and I had to get it replaced?

This sounds more like an April fools joke that didn't make it into the running.
Caps don't bother people? It bothered me enough to switch to an ISP that didn't have bandwidth caps.
It's really sad when hacks pretend they want constructive criticism.
They bring in ballistics experts when they do explosions. They also do them on closed bomb ranges.
That answers your stupid question.

Bless you sir. I'm glad to see there are other people out there who feel the same way I do.
