Real guitar CAN be profitable in other ways, you know. A prime example would be a guitar teacher--if you're good enough, you can charge $100+ per lesson.
I wasn't really speaking in terms of bands as big as RHCP, etc.
Real guitar IS a smash at parties--when done properly. That's actually a pretty decent reason to play guitar, believe it or not.
And arguably, real guitar is much more fun.
For the record...there are people who play guitar hero just as religiously as many play real guitar. Why not choose the one that's actually..y'know...profitable, portable, real, entertaining to those that are watching?
Assuming that this goes through, what will they do next? Teach that tectonic plates don't really exist, and all continents have always been exactly as they are? Or, more specifically, teach that all scientific theories are flawed, and have no basis, or place in the school curriculum? After they finish all that, they can tell us that all conclusions we make are false, because proof is provided.
Damn.
Except that, World of Warcraft CAN be copied, or pirated even. Ever heard of a private server? Basically, you download what they have running into your ram, etc.
With private servers, YOU are the GM. YOU don't even have to pay a subscription to use the private server.
So, no, publishers can't change rule one.
And before you bring up Runescape...people make private servers with that ALL THE TIME.
Even internet games aren't free from the "piracy" as so many people call it these days.
Y'know, the picture they give is fake.
I'm not saying the lighting is wrong, or anything...
but it's a "perfect" picture. the image on the screen is at exact right angles, and that would be damn near impossible regardless of what surface your camera is on.
Also, the power light on the Wii appears to be orange. HMMMM......
well...actually, it is slightly(slightly) smarter, but they are both stupid choices.
and...an ecstasy pill costs some $50 each, no?
one pill a week is more expensive than video game.
anyways...
well, let's see.
$330 for a few hundred hours of entertainment. plus electricity costs, and let's just say that doubles the price, since i really have NO clue about electricity rates.
well, shrooms, ecstasy and LSD cost a lot more, in comparison. and they could be called entertainment, no?
Well, I think video games are a reasonable alternative, especially considering the routes some other people, regardless of race or origin, are taking.

Perhaps a rephrasing is in order? With great madness comes great genius?

$10 USD says 75% is hosted by microsoft, and the rest is hosted by people trying to sell v1agra.
"-->SELL-- 'as much beer as you can drink'" no, he's getting paid.
Haha, I would've posted that had I thought of it. xkcd for the win.

You did your math wrong. what's 40x.08? in your math, you display 8% as 800%, which destroyed any chance of your answer being correct.
Jury of peers my ass!

Sorry, you lost me at "textual intercourse"
Well, on the other hand, we never expected MS to disclose 14k pages of anything but contracts.
Hmm....I really don't think i'd mind if this hand bit me.

Demand for corn dying?
correct me if I'm wrong, but there are kernels everywhere...
On top of that, they limit the amount of gold that can be carried to 5g. Which totally destroys any way they can accumulate cash.
Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?
