Holy fucking shit im sick of this. This is based off what. What some fucking blogger speculated on his blog last week (which was posted on slashdot days ago if not yesterday) which itself is based on some tweets by a guy that got fired for his tweets. Wow. Is someone going to link to this article in 2 days and talk about how the new xbox will DEFINITELY have always on DRM. This shit is ridiculous.
I doubt it will have to be connected to play anything offline. Hell some guy at MS just got fired for basically telling people they were garbage if they didnt have broadband internet that would enable their console to be always on. From what is out there it seems like there were 2 sides, one fighting for always on, one opposed. Looks like side that wanted always on lost, and dude took it out on social media, then was promptly fired. Remember these are SPECULATIONS by "Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrot" whoever the hell that is, and most likely will be way off, other than things that have been announced already.
And when i posted on an article here on slashdot about Boston being the start of a slippery slope that leads to a police state i was ridiculed. With all the new cameras they will now be able to spot anyone that is out and about when they lockdown cities. How awesome.
You are right. You need a shitload of bomb and planes. Guns and boots dont work when fighting against guerilla tactics in easy to ambush places. Carpet bombing the shit out of places untill they are rubble on the otherhand, always works. You will have to rebuild said ruble. But it works.
Yes im sure my roof on my home will protect me from bombs being dropped in an air raid. My house wouldnt just explode or anything. Ill also be sure to duck and cover in case of a nuclear attack.
All this showed to me sadly was how quickly people are willing to give up their own freedoms because of fear. This is a sad slippery slope we are on. While this was a horrible event, only three people died, and the whole city got shut down. Three. How long till they lockdown the city because two people die. How long untill they lockdown the city because a gunshot was heard. Untill they come into our homes to look for suspects. And the worst part is, no one will even say "No". We will welcome them with open arms, and claim that we dont mind being being forced to stay indoors, to let police into our houses whenever they want, to be under constant surveillance, because there are "madmen" on the loose and we have to catch them. Its like a mass case of stockholm syndrome.
Paid it back to the God Terror by self imposing martial law. There is no way to stick it to terror like hiding in your house and letting your city become a police state. Next we will let police into our houses whenever they please because we want to be good contributing members of society.
From Dust, which is an xbox live indie game or w.e you want to refer it as is like 1.3 gigs. Toy Soldiers Cold War is a bit bigger. So you can fit what, 5 games on it?
Two workers would probably be cheaper actually because you wouldnt have to pay various insurances on a part time person, and dont heve to worry about overtime if they go over 2 hours.
They arent tho. What the Ouya? Yeah right. Just like consoles never killed pc gaming even tho it was supposed to happen countless times, small android consoles wont kill the big boys. The void that they fill isnt what brings in the big money for consoles. The only territory they are going into is the wii market segment, which caters to more casual games. There will always be demand for high horsepower machines and AAA titles, be it in PC or console form.
Out of all things ever. The thought of linux machines right now in this moment killing big consoles made me laugh out loud literally. Maybe in 5-10 years when they have a good selection of games.
Well if working at Disney i would expect you to do things the "Disney way" or be canned. If i had employees i certainly would want them to do things the way i wanted and not however suited their fancy.
Oh i did. Apparently you didnt actually read what i said because i never mentioned entertainment. Many games are more than just mindless entertainment and provide rich stories that make you not only reflect on them later, but while you are playing the game. I also hold the view that art should have some purpose. And many videogames that i play have more meaning, and are more a reflection of society than most movies that come out. When someone sits there for 10 minutes deciding to do or not do something because the moral implications it will have on the in game world, i consider that art. When i almost cry because the young child i have kept safe for god knows how long will now be left alone in the world, i consider that art. When someone remains ignorant to new forms of media and instantly dismisses them without knowing what they are talking about, especially when that someone is a film critic that cherishes the artistic value in film and print media, i consider them an idiot.

LOVE that anime. One of the best animes i have ever seen. And the fully enclosed smoking seat gave me hope for the future.

Mod up.
Maybe if they stopped being aggressor assholes to their neighbors they wouldnt be so hated.

Agreed we should save those comparisons to where they really fit. Like the whole of the U.K
We have shootouts and high speed chases all the time here. They dont lock down the city.
Thats why the suspect was found AFTER the lockdown, by a guy walking around outside his house.

Imagine greater
We should just give everyone google glass with a direct feed to all the government agencies. Who would care except drug dealers and terrorists anyway.
But we arent talking about otherwise. We are talking about his thoughts on media as art. More specifically media that conveys a message and meaning.

If someone writes three or four articles about how they hate blacks and jews would you not consider them racist?
Oh i dont hate him. I just think he was an idiot. Having no love for someone and hating them are totally different.
