Carmageddon 1 and 2. Nothing like getting extra bonus points for hitting grannies crossing the street.
The gore has always given me an extra sense of satisfaction. I hate games that tone it down because some kid might be playing. If I hit you with a grenade, at the very least there should be arms flying.
If people didn't want gore, then why are there patches for many games to add or increase gore?
Ya because after reading endless stories about these guys ruining lives (see THIS article) I am just itching to pay $30 for admission, so some guy in a suit can have another helping of stem cells served to him in the skull of a baby panda.
Maybe if they handed out minor fines, but they are RUINING PEOPLES LIVES.

Major piracy ring? They ran a search engine that provided links to torrents which accessed trackers which then gathered information on thousands of computers. No copyrighted material was hosted by them, nor produced by them.
Thus the fight against Pirate Bay is more against an ideology rather then any actual law.
The people on slashdot are not downloading JUST TV Shows and Movies, some of us turn to piratebay like sites for documentaries, tutorials and all sorts of things that in no way relate to SONY or MGM.
I for one am happy that Slashdot has fairly reported the clear biased and corrupted trials against these individuals. If not in the name of free and open information, but in the name if justice.
Those links address legal pharmeceudical drugs. What on earth does smoking pot have to do with compounding agents in runn offs of sewage systems.
The problem isn't that these pills are legal, it is that people are using them DAILY and in large quantities. It is this pharmaculture of everybody needing a pill for something. Yet the folks that smoke a joint or pop an E are considered the evil ones.
So what you are saying, in order to catch the poor unfortunate souls who undergo SURGERY to bring small amounts of cocaine in, as a last resort to survival. We are gonna scan every man WOMEN and CHILD in the name of the drug war.
Is it just me or is the drug war doing more damage to innocent civilians then the drugs ever could. The DEA should be addressing drug reform and be looking to expand treatment centers and education. Rather then spit propaganda and throw addicts in jail.
You can scan all of New York with one of these things, Joe addict is still gonna find his drugs. The drug war is lost, now reform the DEA budget and HELP citizens quit rather then locking them up, to be raped and assaulted.
My bad thermate: Thermate is a variation of thermite and is an incendiary pyrotechnic composition that can generate short bursts of exceedingly high temperatures focused on a small area for a short period of time. It is used primarily in incendiary grenades.
The main chemical reaction in thermate is the same as in thermite: an aluminothermic reaction between powdered aluminum and a metal oxide. In addition to thermite, thermate also contains sulfur and sometimes barium nitrate, both of which increase its thermal effect, create flame in burning, and significantly reduce the ignition temperature[citation needed]. Various mixtures of these compounds can be called thermate, but, to avoid confusion with Thermate-TH3, one can refer to them as thermite variants or analogs. The composition by weight of Thermate-TH3 (in military use) is 68.7% thermite, 29.0% barium nitrate, 2.0% sulfur and 0.3% binder (such as PBAN). As both thermite and thermate are notoriously difficult to ignite, initiating the reaction normally requires trained human supervision and sometimes persistent effort.
Because thermate burns at higher temperatures than ordinary thermite[citation needed], it has useful military applications in cutting through tank armor or other hardened military vehicles or bunkers. As with thermite, thermate's ability to burn without an external supply of oxygen renders it useful for underwater demolition.
Because they are not intended to be thrown, thermate incendiary grenades generally have a shorter delay fuse than other grenades e.g. two seconds.
Politics and Youtube. Lets first acknowledge that the number one Government having things removed from youtube that do not benefit their lies is indeed the government of the United State of America, INC. Americans coming out here and criticizing us need look no further then the citizens of your very own country who are harassed and imprisoned for statements made in a society that has a legislative freedom of speech. I think people need to look atthe TRUTH movement to see how quickly the American government will swoop in and censor statements that are otherwise lawful. If somebody states:
Buildings don't fall at the speed of gravity unless via demolition. CENSORED.
Jet fuel, cannot physically reach the temperature needed to melt steel. CENSORED.
Stating that, the supposed hijackers, have turned out to be still alive. CENSORED.
Firefighters speaking out against the clear cover up, if not for the truth but for the brothers and sisters they lost when 'somebody' decided to demo 3 buildings in uniform fashion at the speed of gravity. CENSORED.
Physicists explaining the fundamental flaws associated with the 911 report, that rebukes any further investigation despite the trace samples of thermite (A trademarked compound used specifically in demolition) found on samples of debris but also in the air. CENSORED.
Last time I checked cbc.ca/fifth had a nice doc piece on the BS of the final verdict, and it's available to anybody with the internet, no commercials or nothing.

"Help! Help! Stumbling Stelmach and his gang are trying to trap me in the 40s. On the other hand, we shouldn't be surprised. Stockwell Day thinks the world is only 6,000 years old and humans and dinosaurs shared the same space. It is no wonder the pin heads in the legislature bought into this nonsense."
"Bill C-15 (previously introduced as Bill C-26, then "killed" when Canada had an election) includes unjust and unfair mandatory minimum prison sentences for "drug crimes". For example, growing one marijuana plant would mean an automatic six months in jail! Making hash is a mandatory one year in prison! All the details are very, very bad. Canada's government, the Conservative Party, has introduced legislation that would create mandatory minimum prison sentences for marijuana. Bill C-15 won't work! Even he USA has begun repealing mandatory minimums for drugs"
Ya they can take their ideological religious based policy based on nothing but propagandic assumptions and lies and stick it where the bible does not shine.
"A controversial Alberta bill will enshrine into law the rights of parents to pull their children out of classes discussing the topics of evolution and homosexuality.
The new rules, which would require schools to notify parents in advance of "subject-matter that deals explicitly with religion, sexuality or sexual orientation," is buried in a bill that extends human rights to homosexuals. Parents can ask for their child to be excluded from the discussion.
"This government supports a very, very fundamental right and that is parental rights with respect to education," said Premier Ed Stelmach."
The subtle difference being one model is based on greed and finding the cheapest treatment possible, or better yet denying treatment. Whereas the other is a non profit entity with care as the priority.
Yes we have are problems (mostly to due abuse from foreigners). But babies aren't dying here due to bankruptic costs associated with giving birth under a for profit model.
I think the problem is not with the videos themselves but who is gaining traffic from the viewing of such videos. Considering C Span is one of the few channels available to all Canadians I would suspect that this should fall under such commons. However it would be the same as say CBC programs that are freely available at CBC.ca being redistributed on Youtube.
However until the Canadian government decides to offer such videos through a service or their own I would disagree with these motions.
We must also consider somehow crazy Harper and his crew of monkey's are technically at the wheel. Hopefully we will have a vote called soontimes before the Conservatives screw us more then they have. God I hate the Conservatives, not disagree with, but truly hate. Got any..... chaaange?
Also, if anybody has heard of The Red Star for the original Xbox. A absolutely wicked game that was released (pirated) after the company went under. After showing everybody I know the game we still consider one of the best co-op games for the original Xbox.
I've been waiting for this game since I was 12. Release the source, or hawk off the game to another developer. The game could own GTA in both sales and pushing the envolope as to the limits of content (sexual, graphic) in games, resulting in, more sales.
I wasn't the only one hitting space bar throwing dollar bills at strippers back in the day. I'd literally pay 100+ dollars for a finished copy of this.
I bought every add on and got Redneck Rampage and That Samurai game (cannot remember the name) solely because of the similarities in both game play and content.
I don't think that they are idiots for banning replicas. Now, the talk of banning pointed knives is pushing it though.
Ban gun, Knife Murders go up. Ban knives, screwdriver murders go up. Ban screwdrivers, rock bashing murders go up.
If prison can teach us anything, If somebody wants somebody else dead, their is very little one can do to prevent it.
I think however, if the kid in question had maybe needed to unlock the case and plan ahead it might have curbed his lust. I grew up with 200 guns in my house (Yea I know, Canadian gun laws are a joke, eh?). From a mental point of view, picking up a gun, holding it smelling it, caressing it, give you much more passion then staring at it through a glass case or knowing it's there.
Ever pick up a proper sword, axe or knife and think "Damn if I was pissed off enough this could do some damage" That same feel applies when you are holding a gun rather then looking at it. IMHO.

I really fail to see the correlation.
Yes, but your comment was about how lazy he is, not whether or not it was legal......

Ya however, this is YEARS after the cat was out of the bag. Certainly now you can find endless information on it. In 2002 not so much.

Damn (Grammer) Nazis.
In April 2009 Blizzard bought the rights to the franchise, according to wikipedia.
Blood, Redneck Rampage, Shadow Warrior, and DN3D all used the build engine.
AVP 2 was amazing. Nothing beat Bloods lighting of people on fire. I remember chilling on the IRC channel the night that Shogo was released as a demo.
Shadow Warrior ;)
