    hard

    No. It's actually not that hard. Most games tell you to attack everything headfirst. 2 important tips:
    1. Don't ever melee more than 1 enemy unless you are 100% certain you can take them all. Narrow corridors and wands are your friend.
    2. http://nethackwiki.com/ specifically http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Identification learn to do this

    You can practice in explorer mode by typing capital X. Get to the point where you don't die much at all.

    I can sum up why in 2 words:

    It's complicated.

    (As in not user friendly) And yes, even if you do "advanced mode clickbox," people will shitfit and complain to remove it because of privacy concerns, and/or older people will get scared and want it gone due to information overload.

  8. Re:Simple on Steam Success Holding Up Half-Life Development? · · Score: 1

    Hey guys, let's complain about free updates.

    No seriously. Look at the very same game, Team Fortress 2, for the Xbox 360. It's abandoned now, no new maps or anything, just a few bug patches. It's dead.

    If Valve did the same thing to the PC version, guess what people would have done? They would complain about lack of updates (like the 360 users did) and/or just abandon the game.

    So in short, users are complaining about change. Different weapons (almost all of which suck in comparison to the stock), the hats (easy to patch out: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1683132), and more newbies.

    There's no pleasing the "old" crowd, because "nostalgia" makes everything better. Nevermind the hatless patch and vanilla servers, and comp TF2 crowd only allowing stock weapons.

    Also all the hats and crate keys are optional, and a money sink for Valve to earn money. You can ignore them, especially using the hatless patch.

    Dude, how can you trust yourself? Don't you know that you can lie too, even to yourself? Haven't you made a lie a reality once by saying "I did X" over and over until eventually you made yourself believe it?

  15. Re:They don't get it on iPad Just Another TV Set? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To a pull system from a push content system. A push system is defined as something like television, where everything is pushed with a schedule at timed intervals. A pull content gives you a choice, instead of waiting and being forced to stay for a show.

    For example, even on legal sites, you choose when and what to watch, availability withstanding.

    DVR is a stopgap in that direction. Netflix, Hulu and Youtube are currently going in the right direction.

    The point is they aren't. They are doing things like playing games, talking and texting friends online, and other social media outlets. There's no consumption of info except status updates of friends, and looking at games.
