    No, I'm not. I'm talking about gore because the summary mentioned it, and because in Half-Life 2's case, it would be directly died to an emphasis on the violence done to an ennemy (if HL2 even had gore.)

  8. Re:Why half-life 2? on Study Finds Gamers Prefer Control, Competence Over Violence · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the game doesn't emphasize violence in any way and is mostly there to make the player feel like the enemies reacted. The screams aren't overly loud, the only thing that ever gets dismembered are the zombies cut in half (and only if you use a very specific prop in a small portion of the game), and all in all when you compare it to Doom 3, Half-Life 2 is a child's game.

  9. Why half-life 2? on Study Finds Gamers Prefer Control, Competence Over Violence · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Half-Life 2 is hardly violent. There is a bit of blood and people dieing and that's it. There is no such thing as "Exploding in dismemberment" in that franchise. So they took a low violence game and made it even less violent. Big deal.

    Oh please, let's not go back 10 steps. I've already walked your small brain step by step through it, and you've shown that the only thing you can come up at this point is more of the same insults, or recycled arguments that were debunked.

    1) I'm talking about what you specifically asked me: "Faster? Do you include the time to search for the fix on the web?". Your greater numptiness appears to be showing again ;)

    2) A recommendation isn't an order, but then again I'm not expecting much out of you ;)

    Anyway, at this point you went beyond ridicule and you're no longer making sense, so this is totally pointless. It was fun to walk you through each step of your ill logic, but now there's nothing to chew on. Don't change your nickname!

    1) I went over that. Read again. Both are annoying. Given how badly the Add/Remove controls is written, I'd argue the registry fix is faster.

    2) Actually, both were opt in for me, I don't know what you're talking about. It asks you to pick either choices in the Windows install.

    3) Which you both can't easily judge through a few forum posts. So you're still wrong, sorry.

    4) Not really. I get a kick out of reading all the idiocies one can come up with to bash a company over another.

  21. Re:Java does this, too on Microsoft Update Slips In a Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    1) Both can be easily disabled if you so desire. Which makes the common "Omg it saps my perfurmance" argument irrelevant. The uninstall is what makes most people angry, and it's a pain in the ass in for both plugins. So that argument fails too.

    2) Actually, that one is entirely wrong. Both downloads are voluntarily (you can disable Windows Updates and perform updates manually, just like you have to download the Java VM manuall). They also both include an unwanted side effect (installation of a firefox plugin grays out the uninstall button).

    3) You're the one who made the first assumption, so you truly are one indeed.

    4) I do this for my own amusement, at my own free will, thank you.

    Point 1: Both are just as stupid, regardless of the difference involved. There's a way to remove it if you really want to disable ClickOnce which affects you in no way, unlike the Quick Start which preloads stuff I don't care about in memory.

    Point 2: Yeah, I get it. MS = Different, they're EVUL. Since they're EVUL we can ignore the fact that the add-on takes no resources whatsoever, adds functionality that has been bitched about openly on this very website because it wasn't compatible with Firefox, and claim that it's IM-POS-SI-BUELH! to remove it even though it's a single registry key. Maybe they found a way to remove basic logic and brain functions from the anti-MS "numpties" too.

    Point 3: It's fine, at least I don't bath in ignorance and stupidity like you do. Calling people who are smarter than you and proved you wrong numpty must be awesome, I'm sure :) Stick to your name, kid! It's working!

    No, I don't. Both are just as bad, you're just so stupid you fail to realize this and decide to call people smarter than you numpty to compensate. Your name suits you well.

    there's no way to uninstall it from the add-on pane either, similar to the MS add-on.
