  1. Re:If I ever see on Running Over Virtual Pedestrians Helps In-Game Ad Recall · · Score: 1

    Completely Irrelevant, this is more akin to the Activision or EA spinning-logo-movies that play when your game is loading up, the Logos that appear in the menu and/or credits section. A better example would be a third party advertisement on the console of your already Toyota branded car.

  7. Re:Let it die. on The Music Industry's Crisis Writ Large · · Score: 3, Informative

    Regarding Live performances - This isn't always the band's fault, although I haven't been to see either of those bands in person, but I have been to several venues where the guy behind the mixing desk is spot on, and the experience is far, far better than any recording. Conversely, the same bands in a different venue and some sort of bespectacled Human-Gorilla hybrid behind the desk, seemingly randomly playing with knobs and sliders have rendered the performance absolutely abysmal.

  14. Re:They need to bring some value to the table on Publishers Want a Slice of Used Game Market · · Score: 1

    And to add to my own post - I have seen someone stung before by buying second hand games! Back when Half-Life 2 was fresh, My brother bought it from a second hand shop, only to realise too late that the key had been used, and the game virtualy worthless. Of course there was a "send your cd-case to Valve in the states to get it reset" option, but ..other.. options were easier.

    A Good idea - for a car analogy, similar to Toyota 'Signature Class' that we have in NZ. Toyota buys or sources their own second hand cars, gives them a thorough check and tidy up to look just about as good as now, and provide a 3 year free service & maintenance plan or something with it, and sell it as a 'between brand new and who-knows-what-condition private second hand'

    Parent has been modded down, but this is actually insightful (albeit off topic, sorry for the rant), and dangerously accurate of a lot of Christians I know (being a dissalusioned one myself) The ones who stay in the Christian cliques, sending their kids to Christian Schools and only listening/reading their Christian media, yet are so outspoken on secular world issues, without it seems, ever having been in it.
