First thing first, so far 14 puppies have died because of this chain of posts... For shame.
Any ways I agree that everyone likes different games, I've played Eve, it was interesting just not a game I'd want to play enough. Same with WoW, same with Halo, same with most RTSs. The one thing that we all have in common is the fact that we will play the games that we enjoy, and most likely will insult every other as cyber nature dictates.

Any life is made up of a single moment, the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.
Actully fits this converstation pretty well... Any ways I've been playing games since I was two, when I was 5 I finally figured out how to crack my brothers protection on Doom II and after getting caught once I quickly discovered the boss key (F10 I love you!). I'm a nice guy, I haven't murdered any one and my room mate who has never played a video game in his life till just recently (18 years old) is on the high list of "serial killer". But then another person I know who has never played a video game till he was 15 is exactly opposite.
Video games are not the cause of violence, it might trigger it but it does not cause it. Much like a abused child can still be nice but when something triggers them they go insane. A crazy person is still crazy no matter how many pills they are on *_*.
If you have a chance of becoming violent then games would just be the trigger not the cause. I've been playing games since I was two, I beat Doom one and two when I was 5 (behind my parents backs, got to love that boss key:).) and I turned out fine, I'm the least likely to try and cause a fight. Hell I learned how to read because my folks got sick and tired of reading the text in FF7, the face your kindergarten teacher gives you when you tell them you know how to read already and when they ask how you say because of video games is priceless.
I'm in college, a lot of my friends have gotten DRM games, let me tell you how much it sucks to be the only one in the dorm who knows how to fix computers... Doesn't help when half of them then try and copy the disk to get around the 3 install of spore... Actually most didn't even know what DRMs were and uninstalled the game when I gave them a wiki url.
Well one, if they made a full story; it would have been released later, they would have no feed back from players of number 1, they would have spent more time for same profit and thus lose net money.
I'm fine with them making a sequel, one because anything I didn't like in the first will usually be ironed out (I play legendary stick layout, when you run in gears of war it resets it back to default, I beat the game before I noticed that I could turn while running.). Plus us gamers are so freaking demanding now that for an epic game they either need to spend a bull s amount of time on it or release a sequel.
Plus who knows, they might change up the game play a bit with the 2nd part for mirror edge, maybe add more complex combat (to my knowledge you are basically running and only disarming them when you have to).
If you really don't want people to make sequels of good games, you're going to have to stop everyone from buying the game (or at least the sequels).
They're morons and the planet would be better off without them.
But without religion we wouldn't have founded government and their by making it so we could go away from religion. Which when you think about it, its kinda funny, the religious freaks are driving the majority away from religion. So in theory, the religious freaks will end themselves which is what you want.
Well, the kernel might be 6.1, but it might have started out at 0.1, not hundred percent on my kernel knowledge (I'm a math guy who's been out of computers for a bit sue me). I won't get into it that much but it is a big math concept and programing concept (as many people here probably do/n't know.)
In the blog supposedly xp and vista were both kernel 5, so that too.

Who else wants to run down to your local bank with 1/2 of your town and remove your money from your bank account just to see what the bank would do?
Also the reason why we trust money over the web instead of votes, is because our money is based on faith, not gold.
A skilled forger could do it as easily as a skilled hacker for their own field. The question is, are their more hackers or forgers who care about politics?
Who says we are progressing fully? So far all what I've seen in my life is tech advances, very few social advances to compare. Thusly are we not just ruining our own society by progressing before the masses are ready?
P.S. And obviously, as friendly guesture, you brains would be lobotomized if you die. To make sure that you can't cheat and all are on the same leveled play field.
You just made me think of something... what If they found a way to use this to find out when some one is cheating? I mean I'm sure they would find a way around it eventually but it would be interesting... Quick!!! We need monkeys to test this!!!

It would be interesting concept for that, but what I could see it used for is survival horror games, then again I've loved them since I started playing them.
Think about a game, where the monsters could actually sense your fear.
Of course they have to make it so it would be enjoyable and at the same time horrifying to play, still remember my first time with Resident Evil... going down that corridor and as you turn so you can barely see behind you, a undead dog just crashes through the window and jumps at you. With a tool that could read your stress and change on that concept would be interesting.
Plus the rise of untold amounts of unclassified ADHD, half of the kids who have it probably never sat down and read a book, or played FF7. I mean I have a low amount of ADHD, caffeine makes me sleepy and I tend to multitask alot of things, for example am currently doing Calc 2 homework while surfing the web, slashdot, playing a game of chess with a friend whos half drunk in Aussy and attempting to read my book but keep dropping it while getting frustrated at the fact I can't type fast enough one handed...
On the plus side when I start coding I go into OCD mode and tend to only concentrate on that till my code is perfect to my ability ( "Finally!!! It will say Pennies now!!!" no seriously... I do that a lot.)
The title is wrong. There's nothing in the original article about a role-playing game.
(sigh)
Why can't they just stick to the basic turn-based RPG? I like those; they require strategy, rather than button-mashing (or an autorepeat button).
Actually their is a screen shot on the left that is suppose to show that it is an RPG style game, but yeah... This better?
I enjoy turn based RPGs, but free world (like what they are making and elder scrollers made) is what is popular. I still remember back when I was a kid and FF7 had the option to turn it to turn based or real time.
Also I still find strategy in said "button-mashing" games, its just harder to see and seize.
I think that eventually we will be able to wirelessly control the game with just our brain, I mean a monkey can already control a robots arm with its brain.

I've actually seen something like this in a E3 article, the more relaxed you are during a game, easier it is. Therefore when the controller reads you are finding this easy it makes it harder. While at the same time it will read that you are having a hard time through your stress and make it easier.
Therefore, it will make it less efficient by making it harder to kill your noobs. But at least it will be more of a challenge.
Almost any 16 year old can drive in the states if they take a driver's ed course, get their permit, rack some hours up with another licensed driver, and then take a test.
I actually did this... Was able to find a decent car, I was a fine driver and then day before I went to get the car, I dislocated my knee...
I'm guessing this was a sign that I shouldn't drive for awhile... Still tried at first, but it felt a bit odd. Morphine was nice, vicodin... not so much.

I find it odd firefox doesn't have vicodin in its spell check...
I've avoided a few accidents going faster then I should (20+ by cops who are too busy to care, Priceless).
I've also avoided just as many by going the speed limit and watching to make sure an idiot doesn't do something stupid [Yes am a paranoid person, again they live longer]. I generally drive faster then the limit, but only when I know the road and I have control. Driving isn't a perfect variable, elements change it every which way, the speed limit is just parameters people agree on, doesn't mean it, or they, are right.

But then again we wouldn't be afraid to use nukes yet, plus america wouldn't have such a huge bill and supposedly be the most powerful nation.
