I have seriously thought about getting a Wii because of that. My main issues with the Wii is Im a graphics hound I love my games to look great as well as play great, and the Wii also doesnt do joystick type gaming as well as the Xbox or Playstation. Although I havnt looked at any Wii games recently so some of the aspects might have improved.
I would love it if there were PC games like that. I built myself a really nice HTPC not to long ago and made sure it had plenty of graphics power so I could play good games on my HDTV. I havent had an awful lot of time to look, but I cant think of any PC games at all that allow screen sharing. I would probably purchase crappy games that support screen sharing just to have something to play with my family/friends.
We should have more college professors accuse innocent students of cheating, we should ostracize more people because they arn't like us, and we should have more people in positions of power abusing them... Yes lets teach people to be MORE like this BRILLIANT!! Im sorry I still see your stance as untenable with your supplied examples.
For me, multiplayer games require time to learn to be functional in it. Maybe too much time. Time to learn the maps, the strats, to not be a noob. It's not fun to be frag meat. With all the extra time I put in these days at work, not to mention stress, my gaming time is more limited.
I prefer single player more now. Single player means just moving along at my own pace. No pressure, no matches, no expectations.
I agree wholeheartedly. I dont have the time or inclination to not be the noob. I work, I go to school, I have a life. Yes I enjoy playing video games, but if you dont play for hours on end you never leave the noob status. Most of the elites or experts or whatever on the games are young teenagers who apparently have nothing better to do but spend hours and hours and hours playing the game.
If thats the situation I wont buy the games or the consoles. I want good single player games and good local multiplayer (Screen sharing). If you dont offer that, then the suggestion that I will buy 2 of everything (consoles, tvs, and the game) is laughable.
NI feel that playing multiplayer is actually teaching people useful social skills that will come in handy in real life, whereas soloing is the equivalent of computer-assisted masturbation.
Yep skills like.. when your better then other people your hacking/cheating or.. when you dont like someone you can just kick/ban them or.. when someone upsets you, you can curse them out with no repercussion.
It seems (to me at least) that its getting difficult to find games that allow you to share a screen with someone. When Im looking at the PS3 games and most of them say Players: 1 Online Multiplayer: 2- 8. I dont particularly like it. I remember playing two player games at my friends house or with my brothers and sharing the screen. Im not going to buy a second PS3 and television just so I can play two player games with my friends. Split that screen up.
They have been making these things for quite a bit longer then LCDs have been out. I remember having one that I used on an Packard Bell (*shudder*) Pentium 75 because the screen reflected too much light. This was probably 15 years ago.
If you downloaded copyrighted works illegally while you are sailing does THAT make you a pirate? If you did do such a thing where would the RIAA send the notice?
Draconian security measures are scaring customers off and costing the airlines extra. Not to say that the airlines are blameless.. they dont lower prices, but institute hidden charges for things like luggage.
Both the SATs and the ACTs allow graphing calculators. The SATs are actually more lenient prohibiting only calculators with a qwerty keypad, the ACTs ban the TI-89/92(+) Series or calcs because of the CAS (Computerized algebraic solver IIRC)
To start with Im a liberal.. I just have one question..
What makes you think outlawing guns will make a noticeable impact on criminals with guns? They will get their guns the same way they get anything illegal, either make it themselves or have it smuggled in.
All outlawing does is take the guns out of the hands of people that the government has vetted with a background check. It will do nothing to take the guns out of the hands of the people who dont give a fuck what the law says.
Yes, but what if that was a joint account with thousands of people (Shareholders). Would you try to convince them its a good idea, or buy a new laptop?

Yep its exactly like life.

Very well put.

You lost 800 GBP worth of pot to some fish? Thats a new way to fish.. get the fish stoned so they get the munchies huh? Brilliant!
If the middle of the ocean doesnt count as roaming what does?

Lol this is just a joke, that is all.

I would have loved that... color coded post-its sticking slightly out of the book would have let you flip to the formula you needed right away.
Ti is refusing to let you downgrade your OS to the one that came with the damn calculator. Even if they are 100% legal in doing it, its a dick move.

I wasn't making a comment on the bazooka, just questioning how close you'd really want to use that grenade.
Back under your bridge grammar troll.
Id rather have a 12 year old scammed out of her piggy bank then raped.
You consider close range hand grenades useful?

I do not own an Android. In fact I dont think Ive ever even held one outside of the Verizon store.

Do you work for apple? Or are you a pathetic fanboi?
