  14. Re:If you want to get people to slow down in the r on New Zealand Creates Safety Billboard That Bleeds When It Rains · · Score: 1

    You missed the point here... the problem is female drivers!
    We should put a baby face on the back of each car instead... this way they'll look the car in front of them, brake when needed (They doesn't want to hurt the baby face in front of them) and accelerate when the car in front of them accelerate.
    All will goes right... (assuming the first car is driven by a man)

    It's a really nice controller, and it seems to be really precise! It'll be really a nice addition to the PS3... As a Ps3 owner I can't wait to try a game dedicated to this controller (not one patched to use it like so many Wii games...).

  22. Re:What? on The Sims 3 Racks Up Over 180,000 Downloads Prior To Release · · Score: 1

    They're all trying the game... if it's good and it's missing an entire city, at least 50% will go buy it :)
    Don't forget it's free publicity... but you'll never make EVERYONE buy it... simply because not everyone have money to spend on a PC game. If they don't buy now, they'll buy in the future! Just see it as "free publicity" for this franchise.
    (I played SpaceQuest series when I was younger (pirate version... I was poor at the time...) and guess what? I own it now!)
    (Another example : World of Goo was highly pirated... and check this : http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/01/26/world-of-goo-makes-appearance-on-npds-top-10-pc-games-list/ In the top10 US sales... because it's a GOOD game).
