These were competitive games, which raise the blood pressure and natural desires of humans to dominate. What if they were single player games, without human competitors? I'm curious if that would have any difference on their actions.
The reason video game movies are having such a hard time is probably the same reason movie based video games are notoriously bad. For all but a rare few, you are taking a crappy movie or game and slapping a franchise logo on it in hopes it wrangles in some suckers. If you had a great movie or game, you would probably just let it stand on it's own so you wouldn't have to pay licensing etc.
I haven't played the new one, but I hope they keep my favorite feature in the game (strangely enough) where the game makes you completely invincible while it is showing an opponent crashing in slow motion (if you caused it). I could be heading into a tractor trailer at 180 mph, but if they cut away to the other car right before I hit it, I will basically plow right through it without damage. One time I was heading for a support beam at about 170, they cut away to a wreck I caused, and when it flashed back, I was going a suspicous 5 mph, but completely unharmed. Oh sweet realism.
I got just over $2.2 million worth of damage by jumping a city bus across the divider of a bridge into the oncoming lane. You'd be surprised how often I think about that while driving to work.
There's a large section to the upper left of the Long Island shaped piece that breaks away from the main section and appears to have rejoined the main section in a later image. Isn't it possible that the large piece will do this as well?
Nintendo had so many games on the N64 that would have been cash cows and a sure fire way to get their user base up. But they either were very late getting the GC versions out, or they more or less weren't very good. What a waste. I had many friends drooling for Perfect Dark, but got a PS2 many moons ago and forgot about all about Nintendo.
One of the biggests gaffes this year has to be the inability to hold a friggin flashlight and a gun at the same time. Doom 3 doesn't show it, but aparently your crack marine only has one arm.
This game has great tension. I think Ravenholm is the creepiest game scene I've ever been in. This was me through that whole chapter: 8^o
When I ran to the top of the set of stairs towards the priest and turned around to close the door before those skinned face hugger guys could get me, I think I may have made very unmanly noises.
This isn't bad for a bit of fun, but for real recording and music production, there are a lot of much better choices out there for not that much more money. Such as Qy-100 , (which you could pick up on ebay for about the price of a DS), or the Roland SP-505. You might want to have this as a sound source, otherwise i would just find it a pain in the ass. *shrugs*.
You can describe Tab browsing and even show screen shots. It's a technical feature that is easy to describe. The way food tastes is very difficult to communicate in any other way than eating it yourself.
You don't have to install Firefox or use it to know what features it has. It's called reading or talking to someone who Has used it. I don't see how he can be criticized for this. Everything else is fair game, of course.
I'm waiting for a convergence item that does any of it's smashed-together utilities better than a dedicated, single-use device does. Phones that are also cameras and PDA's seem to make each particular activity more annoying than it was before. Maybe it's going to get there some day, but it seems very awkward at the moment. Is it just me?
The adware may help pay the bills for the site or developer, but critics and security professionals say it comes at a cost to users, especially teen and pre-teen gamers who may not understand what is being installed and what it will do. Zango users, for example, need to read the entire FAQ to learn that "removing Zango may cripple software applications you enjoy and use everyday."
Why would it ever need to make other applications unstable? If it's using shared resources, would it really delete it or even be able to? This seems very strange to me. Maybe even shady. Not that adware isn't shady enough.

it's probably hard to accessorize with solar panels.
Taskmaster is great for ToDo's. It doesn't do calendar stuff, and it is windows, but it's free.
I wondered what ever happened to John Oates.

anybody else read this as "Nipple Axes Live Webcast"?
approx. the same as the state of the pc 3 years ago.
if only in the distant future they had some way of attaching a penlight to a gun. I guess they got sidetracked by teleportation.

I think it should be changed to PIMP. You could market the hell out of that.
You know, if we could actually see radio waves, we'd still be communicating by pony express.

Now that's a good game

I got tired boning and killing the same old hookers.

how long till we see nanotube engagement rings?
"look, Ma! No hands!"
stating HOW he acquired this item might make it a little more believable.
And with something as supposedly valuable as this, why wouldn't you just use something more slanted for higher priced auctions, like Christie's?
