Its not tho. High price points are justified by more powerful hardware. Just like the Wii didnt kill "hardcore" gaming, neither will this. I see this more as a neat device for the kids or whatnot, than an actual game console.
This guy was a pompous idiot. Claiming books and movies were art, but videogames were not, and could never be. Dude had his head so far up his own ass that he couldnt accept any other form of media he didnt enjoy as artful. In what world does someone live that you can say that something like L.A Noire can never achieve the level of scary movie 4. Maybe im a cold hateful bastard, but i have no love with ignorant idiots so entrenched in their own ideals and times that they cannot accept new forms of media and entertainment. Let me know when Kojima dies, so i can devote 45 minutes to a cutscene of me shedding a single tear.
Actually Disney had announced recently that they would stop making games after the poor sales of w.e Mickey game they had released last. I was hoping they wouldnt take the axe to LucasArts, but i guess that was too much to hope for.
Oh yay. I cant wait for the day when i have to install an OS that provides subpar functionality for home computing. I will devote my days to scouring forums for hours to get anything to work 80% right. And will have to turn to windows emulation to do anything. A dystopian future indeed.
Except in the real world the average person doesnt need the metric system. Units of measurement are just a way to be able to identify how far/big/much something is. I dont need to know how many feet are in 2.5 miles in order to estimate the distance of 2.5 miles. Hell, trying to visualize how many feet it is would just give someone a headache. I dont know the precise measurement of a horsepower but i know what 100hp does in a 3000 pound car. (not much). Its all about relativity to the user. Why do scientists use AU? An AU is just distance from sun to earth. Hardly metric. Same for a light year. Neither are metric yet are used all the time in the scientific community because you can quickly guesstimate distances that way.
Strippers. People that work off tips. Roadside vendors. Mom and pop store. Any cash business. Sorry that you dont consider people and businesses that operate in cash as legitimate. Not everyone accepts credit cards and money orders. Nor do they have enough money to warrant calling an armored truck. Add to this that people may live in high crime areas and there you go. You might want to stop being an idiotic asshat.
Except games like Minecraft and FTL have shown that you dont need to have crazy graphics for your game to be good, sell well, and recieve positive praise.
Seems to me that instead of making games for PC, XBLA, PSN, these people are doing it for the cool factor only."Yeah i only code games for SNES while i watch pirated TV shows on my iDevice as i dont believe in TV". The fact that they keep referring to new as of yet published games as "retro" because they are for out of production systems also baffles me and adds to their retardedness. If you go buy a recently released LP you wouldnt call it retro, even tho it plays on a record player.
Depends where you live. There are some parts of Miami here where people shooting each other and hearing gunfire is the norm. The horrible,,unjust, corrupt, unfair job police do is what is destroying police credibility in this country.
Im glad he stopped tweeting retarded shit that didnt even make sense in an attempt to look smart, and is doing actual science. Its hard to have respect for someone who claims a cars performance is based only on horsepower, cant understand why we use horsepower to measure engine output, yet uses AUs in his field of work every day, which are also relativistic non metric units of measurement.
Texting on my old motorola was pretty fast with autocorrect on. And i could do it without looking, was great for incognito texting. . I can SOMETIMES swype without looking, but i have to start off looking to find the first letter at least.
Except you can buy a reliable car for $1000-2000. Even if you want to add in another 1k for yearly maintenance and 700 for insurance. At 2 dollars a ride its cheaper to drive a car here. Especially if you have to catch muliple busses to your destination. Nevermind that with busses not running past midnight here,it lets one be able to commute to places otherwise impossible to reach with public transportation. And the countless hours you save when you can make a commute in 15-20 minutes instead of 1-2 hours. And if you get to work at lets say 4pm and the only busses that pass are at 3:15 and 4:15, you are doubly screwed as you waste 45 additional minutes just sitting there waiting.
The world has gotten so PC that we cant even discuss genetic variation between people. Not long ago an article came out showing that all non african people have neanderthal genes in them. I remember people bashing the shit out of it because it didnt fit with their notion that "we are all the same". People need to realize that "we all deserve equal treatment" and "we are all the same" are two vastly different things, and should not be intertwined.
Different races would be different breeds. We dont have as many breeds as dogs do, because they were specifically inbred by humans. A better example would be different fish (look at the variation in cichlids).
Also all non-african people have Neanderthal genes as they interbred. That alone is a huge genetic difference. Or maybe you dont think inter-species breeding caused any changes at all.
Thinking that the differences in people stops at melanin content and visible differences is wishful thinking and pretty absurd in my opinion. Every other animal species on earth isnt treated that way, but because we dont want to offend we say that everyone is the same when they arent. Do you really believe that these things apply to every other living thing except us?
I dont know what an apertheid policy has to do with anything. Giving everyone equal opportunities and treatment doesnt negate how different we are. You like most people seem to think that if we accept the fact that humans are vastly different on a genetic level, we are somehow being racist for some reason.
A dog being genetically succeptible to a certain disease and ailment is cosmetic? A dogs senses are cosmetic? Temperment? Im not sure you know what the word cosmetic means.
On the inside dogs are TOTALLY different. Different breeds of dogs suffer from different conditions that are hereditary. Different breeds of dogs also have vastly different senses of smell, sight, hearing. Should maybe write less sarcastic "gee" and focus on learning what you are talking about.
If its like here in Miami, then it sucks. Busses are never on time. Pass once in a blue moon. Lots of busses stop running after midnight. And the price per ride is 2 dollars.
I love guns, 3d printing, and have a fairly large penis. Sup with that! Have you ever thought some people dont feel you shouldn't be allowed to own an item because it looks scary? Especially if statistics show it kills less people than knives? It seems like the only "wimp" here is the AC that wants to regulate something which is responsible for so few homicides it doesnt even have its own category, just because of its form.
I cant wait for the day that 3d printers will be able to print just about anything. How can you make an item illegal if anyone can print it out? How do you enforce that? Constant 24/7 surveillance of everything they print out? Even then black market printers will have someway to bypass this, as we pirate games with DRM today. I am very excited for this cyberpunkesque type of future.
Thats hilarious, because the playstation originally came about from sony and nintendo trying to partner up, and nintendo breaking the deal because of arguments about money. Sony was so mad they created the playstation to rival nintendo.

Yes im sure a Skrillex LP would be called retro by the majority of the world.

I am now polarized against this story. THANKS!

Where are these girls now? I think i can help them out.

How much is petrol there tho. At 4 dollars a gallon here, its cheaper to drive than ride the bus, even if you have a car that likes to sip gas.
