I hear from other CTO/CIOs that the clubhouse at the Belfrey does a particularly good cognac, and if you're a lifetime member they let you smoke indoors, regardless of the law.
In other words, there's a distinct stench of red snapper around here.
You can't have an imaginative and thought provoking game because you might try to apply that same rationale to real life, and big media don't want that. They want you to buy the same stuff they've made for the past 20 years with a pretty new label on the front, and vote for the same two guys that let them do it.
Art used to be rebellion. Now it's reinforcement. Chow down, guys; Your daily dose of correct morality has been delivered. That's $60, please.
I've completely lost interest in Half Life. It was one year (June 2006 - October 2007) between Episode 1 and Episode 2 of HL2. It's been three years since Episode 2, and the story has lost its appeal.
The next Half Life game i'll buy will be Black Mesa, a third party port of the original Half Life to the Source engine. Episode 3? I might read a synopsis on Wikipedia and go "Oh, so that's what happened..." and then forget about it again.
I'd buy four of them. Then I can swap between all of them, spend all of the time I would have on the $40 game, and I might actually complete them all as I wouldn't get bored of repetitive gameplay.
Oh hey! Looks like I've found a new business model for... Wait a minute, isn't this what Indie games are doing?
I raise you 14 medium pulse lasers. Yes, I can change direction and speed to avoid your incoming phased plasma charges until I'm within range, no you don't have enough armour to withstand more than two salvos on any part of your mech. No matter which one it is.
Yes, 4 salvos will cause my mech to expload, no matter how many heat sinks I have installed.
I know! It's amazing so many geographically dispersed people can come up with the idea of making a running jump over your bosses desk with your trousers down, taking a crap just as you reach the closest edge, and skidding across it with your ass cheaks leaving a huge skidmark across the whole thing!
The only persons this effects are the ones that want to use BOTH linux stuff and the newest PS3 store things.
Why the fuck should I have to choose between them?
Further, could you tell me where I can find this "from day one" notification to disable this feature? Because Sony have just decided to update this page with a disclaimer which I can tell you was certainly not there two weeks ago.
Ladies and gentlemen, May I present to you a prime example of Motron's Fork
The choice is slightly different, though. Here we have "Lose Other OS functionality" or "Lose ability to use PSN and play any new games which require the firmware upgrade (you can bet that they all do)."
Regarding the modded down comment above about "hyperbole inherent in the freetard system" (nice butchery of Monty Python, cockfungus) My PC runs Linux, I game using WINE. A happy freetard is me!
Job security?! Damn right! I'm not condoning what he's done at all, but picture this situation (Not so far fetched in the current economical climate): If you've dedicated a large portion of your life making SF's network infrastructure bulletproof and awesome only to have your boss decide you're now superfluous, and he can save a few thousand dollars hiring a dude in an Indian cube-farm with a VPN connection to do the admin work, I'm fairly sure you'd take small steps to make sure you keep your job.
This didn't happen, but it's not so hard to believe it could have.

Calling an EMH a "mundane collection of data" is just rude! Hell, I know of one which enjoys classical music, and has wonderful bedside manner...
Nope, but printers can
What did he have to say about audio and video encoding?
Yeah, he pretty much said to use Ogg formats. Further, to quote: "Verily, Real Audio is gash."
Diashi? Last MW game I played was MW2: Mercs. Now get off my arid planetscape!

You're ok until you start teabagging their corpses.
That's a line you should never cross.
PPCs were great, but not ultimate.

Must be something in the packets...
Mac is the hardware, OS X is the operating system.
The title states OS X as the guest, Mac as the platform, but does not name the host OS. It doesn't state the host OS in the stub, either.
Improve your reading comprehension before you start slating others for theirs.
The *Boink boink boink* sound you get when you finish a game of Solitaire?
So, I should get half way there and stop?
Unless your wife / mum walks in, that's really difficult to do...
Damn right! If only the slogan read "News by nerds"
So as long as it's not cancelled, they'll have a business plan within 5 years...
No, just that at some point in the future, turning it off will be the problem.
