Are our governments finally infiltrated by the corporate mafia?!
I don't know about your country but in mine (UK) our government gas grown out of powerful landowners. I don't really know of *any* country where the focus of government is anything other than maximising GDP. The lie is that the desired consequence of this is that the standard of living is proportional to GDP.
Want to test this hypothesis for yourself? Why not visit the richest country in the world and visit the slums of Los Angeles.
It is inevitable that once the land grabs are over then a new force of power will emerge. These days it is "big business".
If you want to get really angry why not spend some time researching the politics of food production in a world where people regularly startve to death.
that sound interesting, does it become just a digital scissors/paper/rock game?
SWG has in range / out of range (64m)
So what you do is : stand at 65m, edge into 64m, fire and edge back out to 65m and the MOBS don't come after you.
Before my beta-char was wiped I had a DOT that did about 1200 HP damage. To do 1200 HP to a MOB wearing armor takes quite a while when you hit for 300, armor absorbs hits, so maybe 150 was getting through. Using the range thing I would pop a DOT into the MOB, edge out of range & wait until all 1200 HP damage was done and repeat until it was down to maybe 300-500, then steam in and it would be dead in 5 shots and I'd take maybe 30% damage.
The downside was that if the MOB died from the DOT and you didn't shoot it again you got no XP.
It is official; Netcraft now confirms: X-Box is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered X-Box community when IDC confirmed that X-Box market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all consoles. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that X-Box has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. X-Box is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent GameStation comprehensive gaming test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict X-Box's future. The hand writing is on the wall: X-Box faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for X-Box because X-Box is dying. Things are looking very bad for X-Box. As many of us are already aware, X-Box continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
All major surveys show that X-Box has steadily declined in market share. X-Box is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If X-Box is to survive at all it will be among Gaming dilettante dabblers. X-Box continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes X-Box is dead.

Treat almost all computer parts as consumables and then the sums are quite simple, every two years you're gonna need 1. a new VGA card & 2. a new CPU/MB/RAM
If you're clever you will offset these a year apart. The required budget for these will be in the region of $500 each. So every month pop $50 in your savings account and then you can buy your parts as you need them.

In Summary - SWG combat is the most boring of all
some people have no sense of humour

Fact: X-Box is dying
that you can only fire in certain positions (behind the MOB, to the side of the MOB)
that you can only fire after other special moves for combos
that you can only fire if you parry or block
that's the warrior ones I know about, other classes have their own.
Makes combat slightly more interesting
SWG combat is okay but it does seem silly two humanoids standing 2m away from each other blasting with guns until one runs out of hitpoints.
just set your clock back to May and the virus won't have been released yet!
Penny Arcade is so lame it hurts
it can
beta testing is for testing not for fun
the game has built with more promise each time

[... do your whole dictionary]
QUIT
all usually without ever hitting the logs
you get a nice big list of valid addresses all at the same domain and no-one is any the wiser until it stats filling up their inboxes

because paging a sysop to give you a new password is too much trouble
4096x1536 in 32bit colour @ 75Hz across two 21" monitors.
Worth every penny.
Full PAL resolution is 720x576
however, that doesn't negate your agument.

the cheapest video card is $4
So you have one of those yeah?
or are you talking out of your Arse?
Please note how the webcomic is fucking lame and unfunny
I can't walk roud the supermarket without hearing people talking about DeCSS.
Wise up, sunshine, I could ask 100 computer programmers about DeCSS and none of them would know wtf I was on about.
The joke is on you

see, IRC is dead because we're all using AIM now!
I'm not saying the game is ready but most of the code_strings have gone.
This last week has seen many, many changes being comitted and released (which tbh is not a great sign 6 days from launch).
I suspect that the Jun 20th patches were the the Gold standard.
We've had quite a bit of patches since then.
Burnout & Burnout 2 are great games
& tbh I would't care about the increased premium for one speeding ticket, jeesh. It would have been worth it to get the souvenir
maybe this is worth repeating : "you only live once, make the most of it"
