    Aureal A3D wasn't really all that magical or spectacular, its rose tinted glasses looking though a nostalgia tube, I had both and both were gimicky and you could hardly notice the difference

    Americans also dont shit in a open air community ditch

    we get paid more cause it cost more to sustain our level of lifestyle, and as far as equally qualified engineers, the fact your calling software monkies engineers shows your level of smug

  14. Re:schadenfreude on Crytek USA Collapses, Sells Game IP To Other Developers · · Score: 1

    to your point I got crysis 3 free with a video card, at first it seemed that it was going to be a worth while shooter. I dont generally play shooters so its got to be a good one for me to get into, well it didnt take me very long to figure out I could just camp behind a box and for the most part all the baddies would walk right up to me after I made a stink.

    I probably played half that game sitting behind a box camping, boring as hell, haven't bothered to finish it

    oh and the poor non minority neighborhoods are not also under-served? I just find it interesting that there are 1 million and 1 programs to serve area's like inner city minorities as if there aint a poor white kid living in the ghetto as well

    "are all too accustomed to having "the prize" and opportunity dangled in front of them, and then snatched away once someone has got what they wanted from that black person"

    what in god's name are you babbling about? I almost find that offensive, like there is some fat white man with a tux, cigar, and a monocle saying dance for me and you can have some cornbread, oops too late!

    The prize is the same for everyone here, get smart, work hard and you will do just fine, and if anything we as Americans bend over backwards to give it to "minorities" aka black people with numerous programs, if they take advantage of it great, if not tough IMO
