There does seem to be a bit of a computer vs. pen-and-paper game bias here on/. Maybe people are just to busy to play a real game. Of course, if they were too busy, they wouldn't be playing WoW.:D
Because it exposes the travesty that is D&D 4.0. The market for an update of the older edition is huge.
Additionally, the game was developed in a collaborative manner with alpha and beta editions available to players at no cost. This type of thing is of interest to the community at large.
Oooh that's right. It's been so long since I've had to view adverts on this site that I forgot that Hasbro/Wizards advertises here. Please, slashdot, don't make it seem like that's the case and allow one of these articles through.
How is it that there are already two posts about this game and not a single story posted about the new Pathfinder RPG that's pretty much shaking up the entire gaming community? I'm sensing a little pen-and-paper prejudice.
Well, I used to be a paid Launchcast subscriber before it was flushed by Yahoo. That about sums up the experience for paid subscribers. Unpaid subscribers had limited skips and a few commercials now and again.
I do like Pandora, but I greatly preferred my Launchcast stations because you could rate genres 1 to 100, artists 1 to 100, albums 1 to 100, and songs 1 to 100. Then you could apply moods to your stations. It was VERY granular and my station only played the songs I really really liked or wanted to listen to at that time. It was pretty amazing.
I understand, though. I, personally, don't code for Opera because... uh... it's Opera and I don't care if Opera users can see my site properly. Safari, I think I can understand because form elements can render real funky in Safari and sometimes some javascript events explode in Safari. I am sure they're working on it, but it'll take time.
Maybe. I'm just hoping that this is only the beginning. Hopefully more and more people and companies will decide that their applications no longer support IE6 and Microsoft will make the final decision not to support IE6. As a web developer, fortunately it would make my job easier, but unfortunately, it would also make my job easier. IE6 = great job security.
You can still call it a "LAN Party". We do. It's kinda disingenuous, but who cares? We get together to play WoW at each other's houses all the time. My wireless network can handle it. It'll be the same for Starcraft and C&C. Whatever.
That's true and Bill made less money because of it. He could operate the same way he on the web as he did in papers. He wouldn not have to worry about the artistic constraints put on him by the newspaper industry, and still make money from advertisements and selling coffee table books, the same way he did when he was in the papers.
You don't make sense. If we like a product, why shouldn't we crow if its possible that the product will change in a way that is negative to our workflow? If Firefox gets additional features without destroying the current capabilities, then I'm all for it, but if not, then we have a problem.

Pathfinder RPG > D&D 4.0
But, yeah, I get your point, man. WoW is just filler for when I can't play a real game.
Well, at least it's not a coprolite.

Yes, it made me very very very sad. :(

The Emperor is probably spinning in his grave!!! That is, of course, unless you're a douche and your think Expanded Universe is canon.
I'm not sure... I mean do they even MAKE 6.40-inch-long Super Star Destroyers???
Oh we KNOW, we just don't give a shit. Of course, as the man said, if it is full of fruity goodness.
Yuan, euros, pounds. Man, for some reason I can't care about this post. ;)

I watch youtube in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari and they work fine. I think some of you people just need to not be allowed to touch your computers.
Word.
I reiterate: I don't get it. I use Firefox and it works fine.
I don't get it. It works in the browsers I use. You must be using a browser that has an extra chromosome.

Taxes bad!!!! RrAaHRrEAaGgERrrAaaaaaaa!!!!! .... sheesh.
God, I hope so. Sometimes I feel like I subsist entirely on fiscal conservative bitching. It's cheaper than food and far easier to harvest.

Have you been watching ToS on TV recently. Spock practically mind-melds in every darn episode and there's certainly no time wasted.
