Console/handheld games no longer interest me in the least. Wii held my attention for about 15 minutes. You couldn't pay me to play a ps3 or 360.
Once in a while I will play some Battlefield 2142 and despite the fact it's essentially the same game that I played to death when it was called Quake/Teamfortress it can at least hold my attention for short periods of time. It helps that I have a few friends who hop on with me and keep things interesting via voice comm.
None of this would be out of the ordinary since there are plenty of non-gamers out there who have no desire to play games at all except I have been a capital G gamer since a very young age. From Dig Dug all the way on up. It's like a junkie picking up a needle and feeling no desire to use it. It just feels strange.
So let me get this straight. Any time a company uses content from their library of IP in a new product that has already seen the light of the marketplace, that product is automatically "non-innovative"?
That would mean it would be impossible to make an innovative game that had any characters/content from existing books, movies, music, etc.
You write awfully long posts but unfortunately you are full of shit. The guys CV speaks for itself. Padding or no padding he is a couple of orders of magnitude more informed on the topic than you are. You still haven't managed to advance past the whole "perfect " point which was never applicable in this instance in the first place.
Now go ahead and write another 3 pages of empty rhetoric.
You know for a fact he just guessed at all of the factors or you are just pulling this out of your ass? Did you read any further than the brief summary that was linked to?
Did you actually read it? It has nothing to do with "the perfect...." whatsoever. The formula describes the relationship between a finite number of variables which they have identified.
As for "pseudo-scientist", he's a published professor working at the university of calgary. What are your credentials?
We got a Wii in here at work a couple days after release. I tried it for 15 minutes or so and then got tired of it. I don't really see what all the fuss is about.
Debating whether or not there is too much salt in raman noodles is like debating whether or not the blue cyanide pill is healthier than the red one because "red food coloring makes kids hyper".
Next time try to connect the dots yourself so I don't have to do it for you.
You are in the wrong industry then. Simple as that. By its very nature, the software industry is compelled to continally revamp, redesign, and reinvent itself. Gotta keep people buying new versions right? Also stimulates the sales of books and certification/training.

The human brain is still in large part, a mystery. Due to ethical issues experimentation is limited in scope. That leaves you with this black box where best case scenario you pump in some input and then measure the corresponding output and hope you were looking in the right direction. Now you want to shit on "silly sciences" for not having enough concrete evidence when their hands are tied in terms of how they are able to experiment and gather data to create said evidence? Talk about silly...
Ticket prices were already taking a turn for the obscene before p2p ever gained popularity. Now they have a convenient excuse: "It's not our fault, we're just poor musicians trying to make a living, it's your fault you shameless downloading fans! p.s. please buy a couple $50 T-shirts on your way out".
In this case you are wrong, mainly because you failed to comprehend what the original poster was saying as well as my subsequent hand-holding posts. But by all means please continue to lash out. Vivid is great porn, spice girls movie was top notch cinema, the Lada makes a terrific automobile because everything is subjective and by god, don't you dare try to suggest otherwise!
This isn't a case of "oh I like high heels and leather with goats better than boring everyday porn". Even if you like plain vanilla intercourse porn, vivid is still crap. That's what the parent post was trying to tell you. Whatever category of porn turns your crank, vivid doesn't do it well.
So what you are saying is that some people find boring uninspired porn arousing? Because that is exactly what vivid produces. Any possible aspect of a vivid movie that you find arousing is most likely being done 10x better by some other company.
Yes I am in junior high. I also work at a McDonalds (when I am not pumping gas) and my Mama is so fat she fell down, broke her leg and GRAVY game out. I have an inferior ethnic heritage and I come from a low income disadvantaged socio-economic background. I am gay and I think I once fucked a goat and enjoyed it immensely (the goat was also gay btw).
Did I leave anything out?
Oh yeah I use W1nd0ze and I have a poster of B1LL Gate$ on my bedroom wall which is in the basement btw. (LoLz!!!!!one1!)
Click on the "parent" link a few times and see where it gets you. And again, stop trying so hard. You are not nearly as clever as you seem to think you are.

I thought the same thing when I read the blurb.

My 4G (grayscale) charges on USB so I would assume all of the newer models do as well.

Sorry, I'm not buying it.

You can completely take the sodium out of the equation and you are still left with an overly processed saturated fat laden carb bomb.

Add all the veggies you want, there is nothing "healthy" about that.
Agreed... where's the mod points when you need em?
I thought we had finally advanced past the "higher clockspeed = more better" stage...

Doesn't look that way to me. An awful lot of 8+ scores in the recent releases. Could have been more clearly worded I suppose.
You could say the same things about the Turing machine. I suppose it's "better" too.
Security via obsolesence... yeah that's rock solid.
and you sound like some bitter fat nerd with a useless science degree who can't get a job within his discipline.
