they list Mary K's as the place to play in Vegas. Fuck that shit. Mary K's is so ghetto it made a friend of mine from LA scared of that place.
Anyway, bitching about that aside, it looks like an interesting look into a much MUCH neglected subculture that blends every other possible subculture into it. All walks of life, the thing is, is that if there wasn't such a stigma on females playing games, you'd probably see a few females starring here. This kind of reminds me of Tampopo Arcade...(Which is another story altogether.)
You make it sound like they were seriously bitching about it. Personally, I find a life doing what I love very fufilling. Tell that to an archaeologist, or a biblical scholoar who obsesses over the very *sentance* pattern of the bible. It's not what you do, it's how much you enjoy it that should validate your existance.
I got half way through that article before I was thouroughly disgusted with it. The writting was fine, the idea of moving forward in the road to using nuclear weapons under ANY circumstance, and i mean ANY, is just WRONG. This is just another highlight to show that Bush is still stuck in the cold war-era thinking and not looking forward. If this is any sign why i WON'T sign, or even be "United", this is it. We have a president who doesn't seem to understand what's going on in the world, or what has happend in the last 12 years between reagan and now. Oh well, if by chance he DOES decide to use nukes, i'd be willing to bet his advice on the counter strike would be, "DUCK! And Cover!"
Newsflash! Microsoft has been hailed as a leading security and IT expert. This was one of the major features of XP. THIS WON'T MAKE MS LOOK GOOD. period.
this article does have a bit of a point. If GLQuake never came out we'd have seen an onslaught of Software REndered crap. GLQuake made the relatively big push to hardware rendered3D which gave us 3D chips in even the cheapest piece of junk today.
Although I think that's more of Romero's fault IIRC.
WRONG. They should've gone with San Franciscan chef Ron Siegel. He already bested Iron Chef French Hiroyuki Sakai! He could proabaly beat the pants off of this fuck.
It's the same argument for the theatre. Live stage, televised or movie, same argument. it depends on the Game in question. Like say, Spawn. Spawn was very low brow, low intelligence action flick(not to say it wasn't a decent film, it just wasn't somethign I could consider "art"). Now let's say Citzen Kane. That was art. Deep, moving intelligent film. You could tkae that to the video game style and use two similar contrasts. Say, DoomII and Metal Gear Solid. DoomII was rather simplistic with no real story or characters(other than you, a horde of monsters and John Romero's head on a stick, again, it was fun, but something I couldn't consider art. Quake's a different story. I consider Quake a medium. Much like unshaped clay. Quake was designed for modifications and map creation and such. Alot of really great stuff has been made out of it), but Metal Gear Solid, that's a different tale. Metal Gear Solid had a deep plot line, three dimensional characters and a very VERY serious point(Which reenforces my feelings on nuclear weaponry, yeah, sure the AI sucked, but the PSX had it's limitations...)
I'm not saying that MGS was as good as Citzen Kane as far as being artistic, but it does something that all of what I consider art does. It expresses an idea or an emotion rather deeply and heartfelt.
Games can be art. Metal Gear Solid was art. There are plenty of games, even on something as simple as the NES could be considered art. Although not all art has to be namby pamby wussy pussy feeling. I consider Terminator 2 art for the simple fact that it conveyed a powerful message about our fate and such.
And if you'll excuse me, i'll be framing my MGS CDS and calling it a Kojima classic.
After hearing( and experiencing!) some of the nightmares that MSCEs cause, IE, 2 hour tech support call with an MSCE insisting that she didn't need an IP address to get her 3 dell machiens online, i'd be scared too.
*MSCE walks into server room*
"What are these excess wires into the comms rack? *YANK*"
Last I checked they sold software. By requiring this kind of filtering on the web, they're making thier job alot harder to compete.
Figure this
Standard in Net content is established.
Microsoft incorporates said standard into IE. Which is free. even if you're still using Win95..
Microsoft may very well end up killing another company unintentionally. Or intentionally? In this case I think the software giant my just roll over and accidentally squish a smaller vendor.
Well
It's either microsoft doing it for free, or Norton or someone else doing it with a big brand name, or for cheap(cheaper).
Such as the DC suffered a similar problem, a bunch of launch titles got stamped incorrectly as being region coded for Europe instead of the US, granted it's not as bad as locking up in the middle of a game, but after about 3 returns, Ifigure I'd just give up and use a swap trick to play my inital release copy of sonic adventure.

I thought FOX would never take on a story like this, given thier history to be slanted to the right...
I wonder if any of the BM Remixes will ever get posted... ( IE a trillion Parnaoia Dirty Mix remixes, a few DJ uNF mixes etc)

NO JSBSB NOMINATIONS!? I'm going to go bitch on the internet now...

Print out little labels saying, "By picking these locks you are in direct violation of the DMCA?"
Okay, i'm willing to bet cash that UT 2 will be out before DNF..
Crossbreeding Spiders to humans, the ultimate DDR Machine.
Don't you have to reboot to make the patch work? Does'nt that require an unmount?
Quick note, I bought my GT2 bleem!pack for like 5 bucks.
10 Free alternatives that never worked on a dream cast atleast. I just hope they release the iso to the MGS Bleem!

There are rumors on the internet? WOW!
Anyway sarcasm aside, while rumor does have a lot of power, I would take anything you hear with a grain of salt.
XBox's crash screens are Green, not blue. Unless that was a change.
XBox, Colecovision and 3DO M2 all prove that muscle != success.

When the system reboots/crashes/etc you'd ahve to restart the picture frame.

I think it's the motherboard that can't properly throttle, i think the Good Dr was just mislead with his testing.

D'oh, never mind then. Well, at the TIME it was superior. Blah. Been using win2k so long haven't cared a damn about linux so...
That's to be expected froma n inital release.
