more people have been killed in the cause of religion (crusades, inquisitions etc), that have been killed because some kid "learnt" how to aim and shoot with a mouse.
I am forced to agree, I enjoy playing games, and indeed go out of may way to encourage my friends to join me in an online blast everyonce in a while, but the biggest factor is time.
if you read the article and other associated articles, you will realise that this bug did not *cause* the blackout, on it's own this bug would have had no effect on the continued power supply. However, the timing of the bug along with a number of other issues (which I wont repeat here, read the article for a clue!) all contributed.
and if (har har) SCO does prove that linux is in part derived from their copyrights. Then it's license agreement will mean that it can probably just hijack as much code as it wants.
People sit and spend days and days playing games like this where they learn to shoot at almost anything.
Well actuall I sit and spend days and days playing sports games, like football, basketball, hockey, and in no way does that improve my ability to really play these sports.
And the distinction I am making is that using a mouse is not the same as using a gun.
With regards to the lyrics, I haven`t heard Bonnie and Clyde (to be fair), but guilty conscience is not about him recommending that someone goes and does these things. The song as a whole is about the internal dialogue that (may) take place within the protagonists, eddies, stans and gradys, mind. Both for and against the course of action.
You're putting the cart before the horse. There was vioent crime long before violent movies/songs/games etc.
And you're missing my point, you are right that kids shouldn`t be listening to this. Parents need to take a more active role in the upbringing of their kids, not leaving them in their rooms with playstation (and who know what games), stereos (with their Eminem CDs)
Anyway this is all horribly off-topic, the game is AO, and you kids shouldn`t be playing all these fun games, back to your bibles, and read up on stoning immoral women.
but I see a substantial difference in shooting an Imp and shooting a counter-terrorist's head.
actually there little difference between clicking a mouse with crosshairs over a bunch of pixels and clicking a mouse with crosshairs over a erm... bunch of pixels nicely rendered;-)
shooting imps and counter-terrorist both involve guns. That's where the substatial difference is.

Have you actually listened to his lyrics or have you heard the hype. Listen, understand and think again.
Don't get me wrong, I don`t totally disagree with your points. Parents are not paying enough attention to what their kids are up to, like making pipe bombs, gathering gun and heading off to school!

C64 classic Armalyte.
Just about managed to get to level 2 if I was lucky

damn right, though I'm disappointed that a common sense statement is deemed a troll.
/. after all
still this is

"in the cause of religion" not "because of religion"
Though it would be interesting to know if more counterstrike terrorists/counterterrorists have been killed
more people have been killed in the cause of religion (crusades, inquisitions etc), that have been killed because some kid "learnt" how to aim and shoot with a mouse.

unfortunately the "real talent" only exists in companies that EA have bought before it sucks the creativity out of them.

that'll be because gearbox handled the conversion.
Still I don`t expect facts to get in the way of a good dig

that would be summary, as in not the full unabridged version.

Clearly you haven`t read the other comments the XA21 code is not "outsourced" by developed in Melbourne Fl.
but then that would require a quick investigation of the facts!
Yep
This is informative why??? mention of some of your friends who have nothing to do with XA21?
And some random comments on GE selling crypto hardware....
where's the connection??
Clues please?
XA21 is developed in Melbourne (Fl.)

That might be the case except that XA 21 is developed in melbourne (Fl.)
facts before hysteria thanks

But that's not likely to happen.

doesn`t stop anyone from blowing up the plane in mid flight.
Still, at least they'll have all the details of the deceased.
More liberties given up for the illusion of greater security

erm wrong, the new line of XSN games allow leagues etc. If not yet then it is certainly the direction MS wants to head in with it.
Also what is to stop a group of gamers setting up their own leagues, much like the PC world.

You can't program in C because all the keywords aren`t in french.
