it's pretty cool attacking someone who has 70+ hotdog stands, if they lose the fight and I get 500k+. It reminds my of what it was like to play Legend of The Red Dragon back in the day.
Other than that, I'd say the article is spot on. Downloaded a ton of stuff only to never be used again. Thank goodness for the free stuff.
In order to not get message PERIOD. You need to have at&t put a lock on your account. It's really the only way to do it.
I had to call them for about 3 weeks straight to finally figure that out.
I've only recently started playing again, and that's do to the fact friends are still playing and they aren't about to give it up anytime soon. It gets a little boring not having a game you can play with friends. Plus with how fast it is to level now, I'm not surprised more people are playing now, or again.
It's counter to what a reviewer is trying to do. As a reviewer, who is probably trying to market said product, is going to say whatever it takes to get people to buy the game being reviewed.
I have been known to talk trash but then I realized, talking down on a product doesn't make people want to buy what you have to sell.
How do you sell a products like Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed, when they honestly aren't that great? You hype like everyone else, that's how.
So glad I don't play this anymore. A part of me was pissed that I bought both versions, now they are just giving the other side away for free. I'd play again if they gave everyone a free month if they already owned COV and COH.
For example, a given brain cell in the monkey will respond to the number three, but not the number one Well for starters a number 3 looks like 2 bananas on top of each other. A 1 looks like a corn cob. I think monkeys like bananas.
Problem is, these aren't short term contracts where I'm at. I was with Yoh for at least 5 years than moved to yet another "contract". I'm being paid more to be a hybrid employee/contractor, and when they fix this mess, they will pay me even more. Honestly, this is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
How can you compare pay rate to a contract agency? For some things you do, you can get paid very high rates for. They will also rip you off in a heartbeat. I ended up getting out of my contract because it was actually cheaper to bring me on fulltime, than pay those guys.
But, on the other hand, their contracts are much better than other companys out there. We have some guys who truely are getting screwed. At least Yoh will give you a paid vacation and has a 401k plan. One other nice thing they did was, they would put in your contract that it wasn't required to work holidays (at least for the company I was at).
Been doing this for a while on my page. It's cheesy, but fun. I can tell you now, people aren't going to be playing them as much as you think. If you can't convince your own friends to play, who else will.
It's an ok idea, but it's not going to turn out the way they think it will.
Here is how this works, which I found to be complete BS.
I wanted(and got) a Cingular 8525, I asked the sales girl if wifi worked without a data plan. I assumed it would would, I mean, it's wifi and I'm using data from my network. I thought the girl was full of shit when she said I had to buy a data plan in order for wifi to work. Whether or not it's true, I am beginning to believe AT&T/Cingular would pull some crazy stuff like this.
I thought I was getting out of stupid stuff like this by switching from Verizon, but at least Cingular devices are too clamped down. Wife's cu400 can at least run j2me programs, which isn't documented very well.

This is a game system, not a computer. Users shouldn't have to go though this in the first place.

a rail gun was way back when Paladian was making these rpg books, it was called Rifts. If I remember correctly, Glitterbots had rail guns.

Online Crime Scene as Growing Threat to Business, Politics couldn't understand what I was seeing for a second there.
I'd like to secure a loan for $5000, in exchange I'll put up my Ashbringer as collateral. I "promise" to pay you back.
there is probably an IBM site out there that is still running one of these things.
It also looks as if the Zapper is in major demand. It's gonna be tough to find one this Christmas, if you're lucky enough to have a Wii already.

By all means, buy those games please :)
they'd widgetize the whole thing and let their users decide how the place looks.
which lead to this..

Sounds like the old days of using more than one modem to connect to a BBS. If I remember correctly it was called Shotgun.
