I think we'll start to see video games regarded less as "kids' entertainment" and more for the artistic value and performances. I was actually surprised by the fact that Ed Harris and Gary Oldman had leading roles in COD: Black Ops, but not as surprised as my wife who loves to tell me what a big kid I really am. Not that I can really disagree but at least now I can argue that it's for the actual story and immersive effect the *real* actors add to the project.
Now, how much longer before video games have their own category at the Oscars and the like?
No, you're right...it's been OCRd. Adobe Reader doesn't have the ability to OCR, it can only read a file that's been run through and saved. The full version of Adobe Acrobat can OCR but it's not an automatic "feature" as you imply; you have to tell it to do so.
Don't download it...they'll grab your IP and add you to a database of possible miscreants. Buy Catcher in the Rye or Mein Kampf and you'll be swarmed by men in black within 30 sec.
You pay an initial fee for the robot (birth), then roughly one third to one half of your take-home pay goes to the manufacturer to pay for the maturity updates (rearing) and service packs (education).
Hopefully you can at least beat the fuck out of this version without CPS getting involved.
With all the scrutiny that file sharing providers are under these days, it's a good idea for someone like BT to immerse themselves and become associated with something legitimate like this. Hopefully it will make some judge later down the line think twice before having them shut down for illegal sharing.
Mouse and kb is the better combination for FPS. Period. That's why you don't see cross-platform servers where PC and console gamers are allowed to play against each other. Microsoft tested it with the best of the best console players against some mediocre PC players...sur-fucking-prise: The PC players dominated the Y-Axis-challeneged consoler players. You simply can't argue against and it if you do you'll look like a moron. I could easily dig up more examples but you have the same internet I do...look it up yourself.
Now, if I got on a console with a controller and played against you? I'd have my ass handed to me. But I've been playing PC games since '96 and I simply refuse to change. I'm too old to get good with a controller and frankly, just don't care. But if MS decided to allow a mouse/kb on some of their Xbox games, then I guranantee that I would start buying more console releases. There just arent enough people like me to make it worth MS while, plus that might take away sales of some PC's with Windows; why buy a PC when I can get a console with a mouse and kb?
BTW, I wouldn't play Halo even if I could use a mouse and kb. When it came out I was already 5 or 6 years into FPS games and it simply didn't have the wow-factor for me that it did for the younger generation. I played through the first one and quickly went back to Quake 3...a game that had been released 2 year prior but was a gajillion times better.
If they're smart, they'll do what the other consoles do not and offer a keyboard and a mouse as an input option, as well as hand-held controllers. If I could use a mouse and kb with FPS games on a console I'd be unstoppable.
Then I wouldn't have to keep hearing them say, "I'm bored," all winter long.
Wow! I don't think I've ever heard my Dad say he's bored. Ever since basic training I had theorized that parents just naturally learned what soldiers are taught, "I'm Bored" is a direct summons to Murphy to enact his laws.
Damn right. My drill sergeant used to say "if you're bored it's because you're not smart rnough to come up with something to do!". I hated that little brown fucker, but he's right.
Now, on the jubject at hand, I do agree with the above post that the platforms (Sony and Xbox, I don't really count Nintendo) offer very similar experiences. But wouldn't you blame that on the game developers and not the consoles? The developers have to turn a profit and if their games are only available on one system then that sort of limits the audience, no?
Yeah but the same project in America would cost 50x more because we Americans are "entitled" to higher wages and safer (less-efficient) working conditions. Unless, of course, they went the way of many American private business and hired migrant workers at 1/4 the cost of what an American would expect. Mod me Troll...you know it's true.
"ABC News reports that since JAXA launched it's 'Space Net', mysteriously all communication and research satellites have been taken offline, except the ones belonging to Japan. As a result, stock prices for communications companies world-wide have plummeted except, of course, in Japan and have created panic and chaos on a global scale. Companies are now struggling to build and deploy hundreds of new satellites, but in the meantime are forced to piggy-pack services across Japan-based companies. For now, ABC news must be referred to as JBC. Back to you, Chou Youn..."
...Nikon or Canon did the same thing but with small cameras, and then recorded the flight path of each airplane. Slightly more expensive, but the cool factor is way higher.
And maybe TFA mentions this, but I wouldn't know cause I won't read the mother fucker, but the greenpois0n app breaks ALL iPhones, not just for Verizon. I sat here and did it just 5 minutes ago and it worked like a charm and I'm on AT&T.
I personally wouldn't ever buy a console, I hate them, but my 7 year old recently expressed an interest in the PS3 because he wants Little Big Planet. I considered giving in to him until I read this article. Occasionally some people make decisions based on morals or ethics.
More like devices hidden or out of the way, like the water heater or furnace. They would be accessible for repair but basically working in the background. I don't see the need to incorporate them into everyday living other than to use the power they'd provide by consuming some unlucky "organic power source".

And it's much easier to find than the little pink one (although, I keep insisting it doesn't exist but my wife says I'm just not trying hard enough).

Nah, I know Karate, too. (Badum bum)
Who says I was handing off to a Japanese correspondent? Chou Youn could be someone that has always worked for ABC and happens to be Chinese.
OK, it's a stretch.....

I gotta think that if he hadn't stopped to get the food then he wouldn't have been stabbed in the first place.

Nothing buggy about this jailbreak so far. Granted, I'm on AT&T, but it's been working great.
Can't you spoof an ESN when you jailbreak?
I don't know...I think $100,000,000 in one day is fairly impressive. Maybe I just thrill easily...
And while JB will void the warranty, that only happens if you're dumb enough to take JB'd phone to the Genius Bar.

Amen, brother. I'd hate to have to fight my sofa for a cut of meat.
