How many of them chose the top 5 best games? And how many chose the 5 best games for them?
and how many of them only chose PC games? Seriously if they want to be known as reviewers being PC centric is not the way to go in this vast changing world of ours. Spode just chose good series, Gordon chose three no names and two popular games. Hell Benny choose counterstrike, it's a mod, not a game.
It appears others understand this but the top 5 best games in this format is more the meaningless, it's silly.
I'd hold off on listening to this til late this morning. There is a Press confrence today being held that Nintendo should confirm or deny this.
I may be in denial but the NYT (New York Times to you non Eastcoasters) ran this report, but also said Zelda will miss the launch but be available by the end of the year. In a scant few hours we'll have confirmation at the worst, or real dates and numbers at best I hope.
weasel words and vandalism isn't incorrect data or mistakes. Both are direct and purposeful attacks. Vandalism is the destruction of a page or addition of information that is flat out wrong and has no backing (elephents tripled in population, a noob is kinglink, gnugnugnu is lame).
Weasel words is very hard to define but it's stuff that implies but doesn't actually state non true or misleading facts, or basically stuff that has no basis. Bill Clinton was the greatest president of the 92-2000 years. Wikipedia is a better encyclopedia than most. Vanilla icecream is better than other flavors.
Not attacking parent, attacking the hypocricy he types of.
I love how an enemy who is attacking a soldier and makes him fear for his life in this situation is called a civilian. Simply because he doesn't wear army clothes will make him a civilian to the news, especially if the one who stops him has an american flag on his uniform or is part of an israeli armed force.
At the same time I love the fact that US citizens are going to be "abducted from the streets and tortured to the point of death" according to half the posts on this site. No one ever considers people will be paid for their research, that people will elect to do this, the dosage will be a fraction what would be used in a war situation. Nope it's just flat out American goverment torturing innocent civilians and enemy combatants, because they don't care about us according to these posts.
Apparently certain goverments and people are enemies to the american people. Sadly some people immediatly believe these are our goverment and our elected officials, rather than the actual people who wish to kill every one of us, and the goverments who protect them, call for the death of american or any other nationality or destruction of a country, or supply them with the weapons to do it.
The fact that the Internet isn't american, the fact that the video's aren't american, the problem with regulation of stuff that is already a heavy crime, or the fact this isn't even worthy news.
I'll assume everyone heard everything and the last one is the only one worth meantioning.
This article isn't say there's legislation in the house. This is saying the FCC is considering legislation. Let's find the legislation first and then rally ourselves into a frenzy. It's good to be aware of the coming storm, but when your Florida and the storm hits New Orleans it might not be worth it. From the sounds of the article this is a rally cry for an outrage that hasn't even been confirmed to be coming. Let's not turn our focuses from current problems to something that may be coming but may not even work or make sense.
If you are doing anonymous browsing in the first place, you're probably not going to want cookies. Option might be nice, but I have a feeling anyone that interested in privacy will only allow it on a few sites.
CEOs, Project managers, the list goes on. How are they influencial? Answer... "we couldn't find 100 women"
There's a lot of women in the industry, they just haven't been in the industry for as long as others, or others have not done as much in the current years. Roberta Williams for one hasn't had a game to my knowledge for years.
I can live with Clans, programmers, and producers (I'll even go with project managers) But why is CEos there, and why are they talking about companies who write Game guides? Neither really influences the industry, most or just figureheads. What really matters is owners and presidents as well as designers and producers. But of course this is written by a.biz site... giving more credit to the "industry" or business sites must overinflate the value of useless management.
There were commercials between two race cars, one using the SNES and one using a Sega system (with some crap similar to the "emotion Engine" sounds really good but really didn't do much different)
Anyways I'm thinking it's the same thing here. You have two F1 cars, Ferrari with the AMD/Intel logo and the Renault with the VIA logo. The light goes green, Ferrari flies down the road at close to double the speed, While the Renault is in persuit but the entire time you hear a speaker from the car "We're saving the enviroment".
Simply put performance is what matters in chips, if you buy a chip for anything other than quality and performance for it's price point you're making a mistake. If you have a critical (read "any") business you want the power, performance, and stuff that will not break down, not cheap or enivormentally friendly parts. In the same vein when is Microsoft and Sony going to learn that in console wars. Nintendo is known for quality and finally stepped out of the power grab race, the other two are just climbing over each other on tin foil scafolding which keeps breaking.
I'm not going to get in the politicing and all. The simple fact is the only response back you'll get from this is how many reverts have been done when you post and those arn't always your fault.
The best parts of Wikipedia is a fast and easy way to edit information, no hassles, no extra effort required. You get out what you put in and that's it. You want to put in the work to be a vandal you're a vandal, but in the end you already know what you're doing. Type in a good sentance but someone replaces it with a better paragraph that's fine.
But instead of working on the core of the experience now we are going to spend time rating each others' facts, rating each other. Basically just killing time. The simple fact is we don't need it, this system is in place in a lot of other places and in effect it basically weeds out the bad apples at the inconvience of all the good users. "You'll have to do 5 discussion posts before you can edit an article" "you have to edit three more articles before you can add an article". This stuff doesn't help or appeal to anyone but "karma whore" types.
If I write a well written page about the new player on the Red Soxes, I should be able to go in to a page that links to it create that page, set up my links and go. I should be able to do this on the first day as well as the fifth year with the same ease. Adding in safe blocks and guards will only hurt wikipedia's overall goals, not help the ideas it promotes. The best thing to do is start handing out serious penalties for vandalism or obvious weasel words.
This doesn't even get into the idea of being able to do fast edits with out logging in, something that's helpful at times.
I still wouldn't pay more then 15 bucks for a DVD unless it had something special.
Btw Will they be able to do a triple layer without a special production line is what I was talking about. I do know HDDVD should be the same as the DVD but a triple layer sounds like you'll need something special.
I should have said 3 unique story lines. 3 story lines from three different races, each would be for the most part completely seperate. So one would be master chief, the other two wouldn't even be "human"
Remember when you could buy UMDs with DVDs, but you'd pay more for it. HD-DVDs are too expensive, making a triple layer disk will just be as expensive as a HD-DVD, plus you'd need the special presser, the special media, and the special system that will do it.
Both formats have failed. Why would someone want a dual HD-DVD with a single DVD? The dvd is inferior. Why would someone want a dual layer dvd with a single layer Hd-dvd, the HD-DVD is nerfed and you're paying way to much for a DVD.
Honestly the Next gen war is still non existant, neither side is going to win this and both sides are going to pump money into it. The only way either side will actually win is by not playing, and backing out now.
Is arnold ready to go back to acting? I can just imagine Terminator 4 with out Arnold, Hobbit with out Peter Jackson, and the Thomas Crowne Affair with out Bronson. Three great sequal ideas that can be ruined with out their core actors.
Btw the Hobbit doesn't need the same Bilbo, he's 60 years older in Lord of the Rings. He'll probably look radically different anyways.
better you are not a gamer. Both side has very good points. The only problem with this article is Xbox Live is NOT a console win, it's a specific console feature.
Honestly now that consoles has patches. I game on the console a lot more, but at the same time the PC is my method of choice for modable games and games I want the mouse for. Then again HL2 is coming to the Xbox 360 with all the best First-party mods which is an awesome move.
Overall both are great experiences, for those on a budget grab a console, for those who want the very best the PC is better, for the rest of us we can use a hybrid.
bought a 2 gig off ebay for 50 bucks. I didn't buy it for movies.. Movies suck, and they are too big, besides I'd have to rip a dvd then put it on my system.. it's a huge amount of work, unless you're shady.
However I do use it for Anime. a 2 gig stick will hold at least 10 episodes of anime, or can hold 5 episodes and a gig of music. I still have to research run tims on the battery but that will be very appreciated.
That's why people have had stuff called anti-viruses for years and will still have it.
However the Vista security model has been rated poor by a number of security agencies. in addition to get the Windows Firewall and Anti-virus now you are forced to pay microsoft 50 bucks a year. I guess 350 dollars wasn't enough for them.
The sad thing is that the post vista launch of an XP-only worm is likely going to happen around 2-3 monthes after the Vista only worm. Only after the virii writers get board of proving Vista weak and them smart.
From my understanding you need Vista, not directX 10 for it... meaning Microsoft is just proving they have no idea what the PC gaming public deserves.
Personally I wouldn't buy a copy of that game, but even so if i'm going to have to hack it (assuming it can and is done) why would I pay for a game that I have to break the DMCA to play? I'm sure as hell not going to vista for one game.
Of course I'll bet most Microsoft Games will require vista. But I'm hoping the rest doesn't.
Owen Thomas's article is horrid, but if you had yet to read Thurrott's article go read it. He actually makes points, not just observations and tells you to boycott. He puts the blame squarely where it should go. On microsoft's head.
I fear the idea of Windows Mail, a system that makes Outlook Express seem advanced? Sadly the only thing I'm hearing that will cause users to upgrade to vista is DirectX 10 and of course graphics, and I don't see anyone saying they won't support XP in games just yet.
I'd say 20 years minimum. Especially if the law is being used in some way like this, or a radically new technology is used. But in reality it's for any law that isn't used according to the dictionary, and for the most part this law isn't.
This law's focused was soly on intercountry communication lines (since we really didn't have any other) such as telegraph and phone. It had no idea what an internet was, it has no idea about online gambling or online sports betting. It is just an old law that someone figured out could be used for this.
Slashdot Mirror
US will get the Wii November 19th.
Japan will get it December 2nd.
Now figure that one out.

Sorry, no no no

Tell that to my sims. Swimming to their death.. peeing themselves to their death. Killing themselves when fixing a light bulb.
Not only is Death permanent but it's humiliating.
Originally the game was going to be a First person shooter with 3 unique storylines. I believed intellegent squadmates were planned, but fully a FPS.
However of course Microsoft bought them, unique story lines were canned, squadmates were ok, but it became a shell of the original idea.

I was thinking of dying bilbo at the end of the movie. But your right he would look similar to Fellowship's bilbo. (before he relinquishes the ring)
The secret is to live near CERN, that when when it happens you'll be at the front of the line.
Is arnold ready to go back to acting? I can just imagine Terminator 4 with out Arnold, Hobbit with out Peter Jackson, and the Thomas Crowne Affair with out Bronson. Three great sequal ideas that can be ruined with out their core actors.
Btw the Hobbit doesn't need the same Bilbo, he's 60 years older in Lord of the Rings. He'll probably look radically different anyways.
No... I said it's a huge amount of work UNLESS you're shady.
I was more talking to the people who downloaded AVIs being shady.
