The pad is a great control mechanism. I'd hate to remind you, but there are more games out there than just Third/First Shooters, MMOs and RTS games out there. I wouldn't want to play Tiger Woods '11 with a mouse/keyboard. I definitely wouldn't want to play Super SF4 with a keyboard(or a pad either; arcade controller plz). I wouldn't want to play Katamari Damacy with a keyboard or a mouse. The list goes on and on.
In this sense though, PC gaming has been holding back console gaming. When are PC gamers going to get a game that takes rich advantage of a control scheme like Katamari Damacy does? Never! That's when. So if western devs are developing with the PC in mind, it's going to hold them back from doing something extraordinary.
If you're just some guy sitting in your house shut in developing a game, A) the game's probably going to suck, B) How do we know they're serious about putting out a game? C) Will the thing even pass rudimentary QA screenings? These kinds of questions are pretty much why nintendo doesn't just hand out devkits to anyone, even if they've got the cash for it. That dev kit could've gone to someone who has a staff of QA, an artist, etc. etc.
If it wasn't printed on the receipt as part of a standard boilerplate or marked out by the employees when the used game is received, then they certainly committed misrepresentation of product. I'm also guessing the employee never told him that the DLC wasn't available for used games either; but that's speculation.
The full story is that the box said, "Free code inside to download DLC." Box contained said code. Said DLC isn't available to the player until the main story is finished. player didn't finish the game for weeks, well past the return date. Went to go redeem DLC so he can play addon content he was sold; turns out it was already used. He was sold something that represented itself as working, turns out, did not work.
Being brown may not be -negative- in itself but when you've got to compete against a guy who's white who has a social advantage for being white it suddenly becomes a negative.
That's white privilege you asshole. to ignore that race and ethnicity still mean something in this day and age is pretty fucking ignorant and stupid.
You know that things would be different for me if I was a minority?
Yes, because I am one. I'm half Filipino.
I would not be where I am today if I was minority? You are basically directly implying that everyone that is not a minority is a racist or more directly that all whites are racists.
No, I'm saying that the fact that you're white gives you an advantage in the job market where they may prefer to hire whites.
Who is the racist in this conversation?
You are, you've got a problem with identifying the problems your race created.
Some minorities are brought up being told they will be a victim of racism and that it is a fact of life they must deal with on a daily basis.
Sure, this is dating, but this is just one hell of an example.
I am not a minority and I've been in groups of people that made comments about minorities but I have NEVER heard of a decision being made because of race, they were nothing but ignorant comments the same as a group of men make a comment about some good looking secretary or make fun of a POS car someone drives or the fact that some loser is still wearing a members only jacket in 2010.
If there is some type of inside secret meetings where racism is discussed at a higher level, I have never been a part of it or witnessed it and I'm 40 years old and have been around.
Did you go to College? Did you happen to stop by the humanities department and check out the racial studies classes? Sociology perhaps?
Everyone single co worker I have ever worked with that was fired or let go around me I personally feel was justified because of job performance or because they were the last one in and the first one let go. I KNOW racism happens but it happens both ways people and it is no where near as prevalent as some minorities think it happens.
Great. You've got one datapoint but there are millions out there. Look at the data.
Me saying "I invented something" when you indeed did invent such thing is also fraud.
It's the entire corner stone to the patent process. Because that kind of IP violation is fraud rather than not paying for compensation for intellectual property.
Because I'm saying that your intellectual property, your own identity, is subject to the non-existent rules of the free market too. Clearly you don't care that someone has to enforce ownership rights at some point.
No, our country is falling into shambles because people believe that we shouldn't have any checks on our Id.
Yes, if I want to be protected by the military, the fire department, the police, take advantage of public parks, schools, public utilities, roads, libraries and other public services, I have to pay taxes. If I don't like it, I will move somewhere where I don't have to pay taxes for roads, schools, fire, police or water and let free enterprise take care of that.
If I want to participate in the market, and sell goods, GASP, I have to show that I'm paying taxes that pay for the roads that deliver my raw supplies or my goods for resell and police to handle crimes that may happen to my place of business. I may also have to prove what I'm selling isn't going to hurt someone through normal use. I may also have to prove that I'm not polluting my neighbor's water supply.
GASP THE FUCKING HORROR.
Move to Somalia you libertard. If you want a "free" market, there you go. It's so free, you're free to get shot in the face for a bag of rice. I hope you enjoy a constant warzone!:D
Also, I use a custom built PCB that reports as a standard USB HID joystick and works just fine for Street Fighter 4 and generally as a PS3 digital only device.
Microsoft's guidelines prevent 360 games from shipping with standard USB devices for game input, including but not limited to USB joysticks, USB/bluetooth mice/keyboard(UT3 supports keyboard/mouse input, FWIW; UT for PS2 did the same thing.), etc.
Slashdot Mirror
You realize with IP that there's also *producer* rights not just consumer rights?
You can't just leave the content producers out in the cold. Particularly when you're trying to convince them to pay a TV license fee.
Also, since the pad is a poor control method
uhm
what?
The pad is a great control mechanism. I'd hate to remind you, but there are more games out there than just Third/First Shooters, MMOs and RTS games out there.

You missed my point you gormless dip shit.
Being brown may not be -negative- in itself but when you've got to compete against a guy who's white who has a social advantage for being white it suddenly becomes a negative.
That's white privilege you asshole. to ignore that race and ethnicity still mean something in this day and age is pretty fucking ignorant and stupid.
Yes, now that I know you have a gun, I'm going to pack Kevlar.
So ASLR and DEP are both red herrings and don't fix the real problems with PC security!?
GASP! Where's my fainting couch?
You know that things would be different for me if I was a minority?
Yes, because I am one. I'm half Filipino.

Like you're doing? You know nothing about white privilege. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_privilege Yes, it's wikipedia, but it's a good start on the subject.

I am white middle class and I got where I am at because of my hard work, work ethic, and personality, not because of my skin color
You keep telling yourself that.
Pull a "Black Like Me", darken your skin, and change your name to "Spike Jenkins" and let's see how well this goes.
Great.
I'm signing up for several credit cards, student loans and a mortgage with your personal information.
Clearly, the free market doesn't mind me committing fraud with your name right?
That's a whole lot of middle class, white male privilege I smell there.
No, games workshop is still fucking you in the ass for the cost of minis.
(They are pretty and Warhammer is still fun, but christ is it expensive. thank god i'm not paying the price in GBP.)
Well, what's meaningful is that they all didn't up and die, and that a bigger round of testing is to go forward.
What exactly did you mean by "is a port"?
ports of open sourced games. Like Doom/Quake/FreeCIV, etc.
Telia's also WiMAX. Just tuned differently from Sprint's 4G service.
In essence, yes, but no.
Other than emulators can anyone point me to a homebrew game for ds, iPhone or psp that doesn't suck or is a port?
I collect bootleg Famicom carts.
So either i've got a %100 bootleg rating, because I specifically look for bootleg carts.
OR
I've got a %0 bootleg rating because all the carts I have are legitimately bootlegged material.
I'm confused, I need some wine and cheese.
I'm pretty sure if any of the enlightenment thinkers of that era knew what an MRI was the right to have one would be in the constition.
Also, I use a custom built PCB that reports as a standard USB HID joystick and works just fine for Street Fighter 4 and generally as a PS3 digital only device.
(For more info: google: Toodles Cthulhu PCB)
PS3 has no such restriction.
UT3 plays with mouse and keyboard just fine.
Standard USB keyboards/mice work fine
Same applies to the 360.
no it doesn't.
Microsoft's guidelines prevent 360 games from shipping with standard USB devices for game input, including but not limited to USB joysticks, USB/bluetooth mice/keyboard(UT3 supports keyboard/mouse input, FWIW; UT for PS2 did the same thing.), etc.
The extra plastic is an interface for the thumb board. Nothing big.
