Um..what the fuck are you talking about? There are already games with downloadable levels, why not downloadable mods? Granted, they would all be professionaly made, but who cares? Most of the player-made doom wads were pathetic.
I've got an X-Box, and I think it would be pretty damn cool. We've already demonstrated that an FPS can work well on the X-Box(Halo), so why couldn't Doom3? It'll have net play without a doubt, so what would really be missing? Hell, I think I would be MORE happy without net play..just a really fun single player campaign. I seriously doubt I'll miss any of the "Stup1d 4wP-c4mp1n6 wh0r3!" bullshit.
You're fucking kidding right? My local hobby store is staffed by a random high school pretty boy at any given time. I've never seen the same one twice. He doesn't know thing 1 about anything in the store. He works there because he'll work for peanuts and he's free every night. He has a look of UTTER contempt and hatred for any person that comes in there. The little kids he outright punks, the older people(like me) just get ignorned or shot icy glares. FUCK my local gaming store.
Oh, and the ones where people know their shit aren't any better.."Dude, seriously, can you put down your pokemon cards long enough to ring this up?" "Sir, I'm trying to explain to this customer how to play.." "Explain shit, motherfucker, that kids been in here 6 hours, he has more pokemon cards than your store as whole does..his fucking face is on that tournament magazine over there..now ring this shit up or I'll punch you in the throat!"
Yeah but if you were an awesome, professional diver would you want to pay the "newb experience" markup fee? You know what you're doing, you have dive friends you go out with and you know what equipment is the best, why not just order direct from some website and avoid all that? Your example is flawed because it doesn't take into account every demographic of divers..or figurine buyers. We go to brick and mortar stores for some things, but when we can avoid it, why not? I save money, and I didn't even have to put pants on? Do I really care how cool the guys store looks or how much info the guy behind the counter can spew out? If I know my shit, then I know my shit, and I'm going to get my products the cheapest, easiest way possible.
I live in Vegas, and I still hang out with a lot of the guys from the old 702 and Ice crews. Some awesome demo & ansi guys, plus guys that formed the first few Vegas BBS's. Demo parties died because people thought they were lan parties. Subsequently, the commonness of broadband in homes killed lan parties. Remember the kids at lan parties that had dial-up at home? The ones that just leeched the pipe for 6 hours with warez and mp3s? I remember some of the smarter guys started yanking the line to the outside world during lan parties. It was a great idea, and funny as shit..but the 15 year old aol hacker dorks would pitch one hell of a fit..so lan parties quickly faded out for the most part..they turned into EQ/AC parties where NO ONE said a fucking word for 5 hours at a time..I blame the shitty lan's for my boredom and subsequent involvement in the rave scene...
Damn..that was a fucking rant..stupid lanarchists.

Well..technically you CAN still punt the thing about 50 yards should it give you any lip.
A friend of mine once broke up with girlfriend because she had never seen star wars. And this wasn't some computer nerd friend..this was a HBOC type of guy and his cheerleader girlfriend. In his eyes, she just had no culture if she'd never seen star wars.
You're so hard, posting as an AC. It's just karma dude, don't cry. Log in you cowardly bitch.
Oh, and someone that uses that many homophobic slurs..is gay. Sorry bro, but you just seem like you have some issues with coming to grips with what you are. And don't worry about telling your dad..he's gay too.
Kent: Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charges that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down eighty percent, while heavy sack-beatings are up a shocking nine hundred percent?
Homer: Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forfty percent of all people know that.
Kent: I see. Well, what do you say to the accusation that your group has been causing more crimes than it's been preventing?
Homer: [amused] Oh, Kent, I'd be lying if I said my men weren't committing crimes.
And yet the description of your life completely validates the need for this product. I'm not trying to rag on you, but I know many people that think just the way you do. They somehow attempt to complain about their life AND make it look highly honorable in the same sentence. If you're working 50-60 hours a week, you have no one to blame but yourself. Take some time-management classes or read a book on the subject or something but accept the fact that your routine is not the norm.
Getting a little back on topic, this product was more than like created as a "hey, check out what we did" type of thing, not a "make the worlds next great appliance" strategy.
It's not "think up some software ideas". If you look at the video, that guy wants to go to sicily. Did you even follow the links? All he has to do is sell himself. I mean maybe if they came up with "MS FLIGHT SIM TO SICILY" but I doubt it.
Yeah, we all raced to get that one in. Bastard. My only is to provide the entire scene:
That night, in bed...
Marge: I'm worried about the kids, Homey. Lisa's becoming very obsessive. This morning I caught her trying to dissect her own raincoat. Homer: [scoffs] I know. And this perpetual motion machine she made today is a joke! It just keeps going faster and faster. Marge: And Bart isn't doing very well either. He needs boundaries and structure. There's something about flying a kite at night that's so unwholesome. [looks out window] Bart: [creepy voice] Hello, Mother dear. Marge: [closing the curtains] That's it: we have to get them back to school. Homer: I'm with you, Marge. Lisa! Get in here. [Lisa walks in, chuckling nervously]In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics! -- The last straw, "The PTA Disbands"
Yeah, episode 1 was free(demo). My god this is just FLOODING the memories back. Remember the level with the submarine and those 2 spinning turbines you had to dash between? Or the ULTIMATE DM level "Spin Cycle" where if a guy was coming at you on the spinning floor you weren't quite sure if it was another player or just the floor moving, but then you figured it out when you could see the 6 or so rockets barreling down on you? Good times.

And is it still a cell phone, too?
EVERYONE thought that when they saw it, I'm sure. I was racking my brain thinking "what the fuck is a Sony character?"
I don't think I'm comfortable with you referring to the weekly world news as "the paper"
Um..what the fuck are you talking about? There are already games with downloadable levels, why not downloadable mods? Granted, they would all be professionaly made, but who cares? Most of the player-made doom wads were pathetic.
I played it on an HDTV a very responsive and comfortable controller(provided you aren't a 10 year old girl with little hands).
Any other excuses?
FPS is a vantage point, not an input device. Halo, with the possible exception of Half-Life, is the best single player FPS ever made.

Mr. Crunch,
Your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?
Oh no! Beta!
Shit..it'll be out in the theatres before you're done..why bother?

Uh, yeah. You give your wife a cpu as a gift and try to remind her of the praticalness of it as your swallowing teeth.
