I think the point is that S Korea and SC raised it to the point of other major or moderately sports...."real" sports some might say. I don't like calling any of it a sport....chess is a game. It can be a game an it doesn't take away from how difficult or competitive it can be
We debated what a sport was on a slow day at work once. We decided "no ball, no sport". Doesn't mean it isn't hard....doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile....but no ball, no sport.
And it had left handed models....which I loved. I've never been as good with the kar as I was in pre-source DOD. Ofc, I don't play 5-10 hours a day anymore either.
Portal is $9.99. The Orange box is $19.99 and comes with portal.
It's a shame...I had a free copy of portal that I got when I pre-ordered Portal 2 that I was literally looking for someone to give it to....everyone in my list already had it. Last week I gifted it to someone I work with that will probably never play it. Buy it whenever the price is right for you...but make sure you play it...portal is a fantastic game, with (and this is just my opinion) one of the funniest/most satisfying endings of any game ever. (storywise...the actual fight was a little easy)
It will probably end up at $4.99 in a few months. I'm sure it will go on sale at the end of the year when they do those crazy sales and I buy so many games that I know I will never play.
Still...you have to take it with an even bigger grain of salt now....he has to make it out like you can't be a developer and a retailer at the same time.
Totally agree. Numan isn't a one hit wonder. If you define one hit wonder to mean someone that had one song...and then never did anything else worthwhile. Numan has made tons of good music aside from cars.
Do you actually own, say, 80% of the games you have installed?
This question made me think...several years back, there were probably only 2 of the godknowshowmany games installed on my pc at any one time that were legit. Quake 2/3 depending on the timeframe, and diablo 2. I made it a point to buy those because I enjoyed them so much....but anything else I stole. And I felt entitled to it. Maybe there are people that try things out...and I agree that DRM should never get in your way if you really bought a game....but I can't help but think that a lot of people defending video game piracy are just full of shit. You just want something for nothing. That's all it was to me.
Today, strangely enough, I don't think I have any pirated games on my machine. Steam made it so easy to get them that I just started buying them. Lots of movies and TV shows...a newsreader/nzb program that I am too cheap to buy...but not any games. So, obviously, I didn't grow up any...I obviously still think it's okay to steal digital content....but strangely enough, not games anymore.
It's $10 if you have another source engine game....If you don't it's $15 for gMod and Team Fortress 2, which is a fantastic deal if you don't already have tf2.
I can't really call anyone out, because I used to be the exact same way, but stealing a $10 game is pretty bad...
Just an FYI, nothing to do with this discussion....but did you know that DOS doesn't care which slash you use anymore? You can even mix them up in the same path and it will still figure it out. Not that it's a particularly good idea to do that...
Automated systems shut the reaction down as soon as the earthquake occurred. The fuel rods continue to produce heat even after the reaction has stopped.
I feel compelled to defend a book that I liked. You are more than welcome to have not enjoyed it...but I am certain we can both agree that the movie was horrible.
I just recently watched firefly and loved it. But anyone can say they didn't like it and that's fine. But to say that you like the starship troopers movie more than the book is just unforgivable.....unforgivable is a fantastic movie, to balance out a horrible one with a great one.
kneejerk was to flame him....then I thought to myself...someone else here read Heinlein's book and knows what an UNBELIEVABLY idiotoc statement that was. Thank you.
You may as well say that you liked Armageddon.
The only redeeming quality of the ST movie was the whole creepy Dougie Howser Nazi MD thing, imagine his creepy Jewish friend sneaking in his window every night.
That book is good to fantasitc....I will allow you leeway. That movie is dogshit.
OK..I will help anyone that thinks that movie isn't horseshit. In the book...the space marines were so tech'd out and such badasses that a handfull of them would raid a planet. They would NOT line up with machine guns shooting at bugs while nobody wondered why it didn't occur to anyone to mount a few machine guns on something that could fly too.
You people are funny to me. You are like clowns. You amuse me.
I don't disagree with anything you say except the silly point about the case (everyone puts a case on their phone, and apple will give you one), and saying that it sucks in general. It doesn't have to be a statement about who you are....it's just a device.
oh, you mean the day I got mine. I absolutely hate itunes, But the UI on the iphone is completely and totally intuitive. You are looking for reasons that you don't need to hate if you don't think so.
then you should get it checked. Because I also said was "plenty of reasons to hate it if you have to". The iphone does not suck "in general" it just doesn't. Get over it.

wouldn't that be more towards gambling?
I'm not arguing your point...but I do feel the need to say that, at least IMO, Civ 5 is hands down the best of the series so far.
but consoles are bad...at least, they dumb games down. No point in dragging that tired, old, dead horse out again though.
But....if portal2 feels like it isn't as good as it could have been because they dumbed it down for the console port. I am taking a hostage.
And it had left handed models....which I loved. I've never been as good with the kar as I was in pre-source DOD. Ofc, I don't play 5-10 hours a day anymore either.

Not so direct competition anymore. They sold impulse to Gamestop

I just put together an i5 2400K sandy bridge rig with everything except the monitor for $1050. Including a pretty nice vid card.
Someone already said it further up...buy an old one if you are feeling nostalgic. Still, I hope it takes off.
Troll me, as AC I can afford the mod points!
you sure can....that's why you posted AC
