    that hasn't been happening because people just aren't fucking like they used to.

    This is why they need to look at the obesity issue, and start educating people about physical health, instead of trying to fix the issues later with medicaid/medicare.

    It's the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle applied to domain name registration.

  3. Re:Sounds Like Someone is Just Lazy on Developer Panel Asks Whether AAA Games Are Too Long · · Score: 1

    Does Borderlands fit in with you definition of a FPS, or do you consider it a RPG? I'm still playing it and the DLC months after buying it. I've levelled 3 characters to 60 (don't like Brick) and I play with my missus (it's the ONLY game she likes to play). It hit the magic formula for me.

  4. Re:Looking at it wrong on Developer Panel Asks Whether AAA Games Are Too Long · · Score: 1

    Final Fantasy 7, oh my god but I put so many hours into that.
    Borderlands - still putting so many hours into it.
    Hunted - One playthrough as the archer, and doing another as Caddoc. This game is linear, but short enough that you can playthrough it twice without getting ZZZ over the plot.

    I wonder what would happen if you went back to games that you couldn't save your progress in, like on the old consoles. Sonic the Hedgehog was a 2-3 hour game, but w/o a level select cheat/codes, you had to invest many hours to progress farther along at each sitting. Earthworm Jim, Alladin, Strider, Kid Chamaelon etc all good and engaging games that were short enough to play in one sitting, but long enough that it took you weeks to complete.

    The 3 games listed above have items that are common to many games, but then they have something special (FF7 story, Borderland's well executed splitscreen play, Hunted's 2-player mode) that makes the games among the few that I play to the end.

    Darksiders was a game that I felt was too much like every other hack n slach (devil may cry, god of war, heavenly sword) with an extremely predictable plot and nothing that really set it aside from other games, that I didn't play more than 2 hours of it.

    You mean "Sony can pretend to warn them" to give false hope to consumers that the product will be better?

    Assuming these 12 are actually guilty. It would be deliciously sweet if these were 12 totally random people who have no involvement.

    That explains why peer-to-peer file sharing is so satisfying.

  13. Israel got it right on Facebook Helps Israel Blacklist Air Travellers · · Score: 1

    Instead of submitting everyone who enters their country to electronic groping (or physical), they do _detective work_ to identify the threat even before it gets to them. I recall, but cba to find and link, the article about airport security in Israel and how they profile people from when they reach the front door, and have intelligence agencies dedicated to finding and stopping potential terrorists _before_ they get to the airport.

    America (the TSA) could learn a lot from them.

    I may have to turn in geek card/or get seriously wooshed but:

    Trekkie is a (hardcore?) fan of Star Trek
    Trekker is someone who goes for hill/mountain walks.

    Also, I somehow doubt there is anyone who is a member of both sets.

    Comments like yours give me a headache also. You might as well complain at the injustice of being left-handed in a right-handed world. I've learned to suck it up and get over it.

    Can't watch 3D? Boo-hoo, don't buy it. If they decided never to make a can opener because it couldn't be used fully by left-handed people, where would we be now?

    Clearly this is a Streisand Effect / Slashvertisement of epic Cunningness.

    By reporting this people will be attracted to the site where they hear about Jeff, a user of FitBit, gets Vigorous sex for over 4 hours. People will be queueing to join.
