Games don't have to have top of the line graphics to be fun. Nintendo got it right with the Wii. I've been saying this for years. Games of old used to dazzle the mind and not the eye, where today the reverse is true more often than not. Back when my C64 only supported so many colors and so many lines visible at a time, the game makers had to be creative with the content, actually write stories, throw in humor, and infuse the game with an overall sense of FUN. Today everyone is trying for the photo realistic games and 'realism', meanwhile a 'modern' shooter usually has respawn? But I digress.
I love my Wii, after PS2 and Xbox (both collecting dust), I'm having fun on the console again. Even my PC I'm switching from mainstream games to titles from AeriaGames.com, and the titles available on my Ubuntu Linux box also have more lasting playability than nearly everything on the shelves today.
Hell I was looking at Blackskygame.com, which is a remake of Star Control/Star Flight, but looking at SC and SF now!? Nobody would give it the time of day, but those games have so much depth to them!
Granted something like Call of Duty 4 is amazing to play, you can 'beat' the campaign in a few hours. Multiplayer content is great and all, but I'm so tired of people who enter FPS's and the like with that rambo mentality, might as well be team deathmatch; or if friendly fire is on, deathmatch.
Ubuntu MX1000 Doc
I used this doc from the ubuntu community site and it worked perfect. Only has to be done once, small price to pay to get full functionality. Also doesn't cause issues with video driver updates to xorg.conf
Hahahah I'm surprised nobody has made any Bastard Operator from Hell references...
Boss: "We need more space on the server"
BOFH: "Done and Done"
Boss: "OMG what did you do!?"
BOFH: "I made space like you requested"
Slashdot Mirror
They must use the same beta testing team as Blizzard
