It can be nice to play cooperatively with one's significant other, or kid. Whether it's helping them, experiencing great game moments together, or just having fun, It's a welcome option. The original Baldur's Gate series had it, as did the Neverwinter Nights series. This didn't detract from the single player experience, it just opened up an additional way to have fun.
I really don't get the need for people to sneer at others who enjoy having that option in games they like.
I do have to say, the sections in which you are actually driving vehicles are obscenely un-fun. Running around atop a vehicle whilst defending it is a riot, but piloting? Jesus no. A true chore.
I disagree. The graphics of console video games improve as well, however the improvement is based solely on improving the actual code. Whether it be newer techniques, more efficient algorithms, or more efficient use of the available hardware, improvement is improvement.
They just don't get the option of throwing more hardware at it.
This may be a great tactic, actually. If you let the fanfare and sales for a game drop off, and THEN release the editor, you can spark new interest (and possibly sales) with its release, as its fans all return in droves to get cracking at mods. At that point, they can afford to care a lot less about the game getting re-rated as a result of some mod.
Assuming there is a port, could they return whatever investment Sony provided for a "timed exclusive", should their accountants project they come out better with simultaneous release?
I picked up a used wireless adapter for about half price. At first I had a couple issues, but I overcame them when I flashed dd-wrt onto my linksys router, and boosted the transmit power a bit. It's been rather good since then.
Could be something to do with the fact that it is not only highly anticipated, but also officially available in 6 days. I'm totally excited about Mass Effect, Too Human, Fable 2, the Orange Box, and Fallout 3. None of those are coming out in 6 days, though.
Whoops, forgot some important info. I was able to get the console up and running again by yanking the peripherals (GH2 controller, vision camera), and removing the hard drive. Once it came back up, I tried again with just the hard drive, and proceeded from there. Perhaps some of its drivers also became corrupt.
I had the RRoD. I immediately researched, and tried a few options. What worked for me: Clearing cache, and deleting a corrupted save game. How these items became corrupted, I don't know (heat or surge causing computation errors? Bug in code?), but research and action combined took me about 20 minutes. No problems since for my January 2006 console.
All this said, I don't doubt there are some bigger hardware errors out there, but I'd be willing to bet mostpeople see the red ring, and consider it done with.
Results 1 - 9 of 9 for "Open office training" <strong>"New Zealand"</strong>. (0.29 seconds)
Of which, a couple lead to http://the-pc-medic.com/, and if their training is as good as their website... well. Only a couple other links offer directories of different service providers, and none of them appear to actually provide open office training.
Did you see if any of the 199,000,000 search results you came up with offered in house training in New Zealand? Too lazy or incompetent to wade through it all?
I had my doubts, but honestly once I sat down and started watching it, it was just damned good. Do you feel you've given it an honest shake? BSG is definitely not like the original, and this fact may turn you on or off to the show. It seems that many people form adverse opinions about things without really experiencing them (read any comment posted on a console article). The shows may not jive with you, but if you are into scifi and haven't really given them a chance, you are missing out on some great stuff.
As a side note, if there really are some older dos based games you'd like to dive back into, you can usually get DOSBOX up and running. It may take a little work, depending on the title, but it's an option for the willing.
Not disagreeing with you, as I've shifted mostly to console games myself (with the exception of the occasional must have computer game). Just offering up some info.
Most GH fans, except for those that don't own the PS2 GH1, or a PS2 for that matter. This is on Xbox Live's Marketplace, and I really doubt these packs are aimed at those who have GH1 and a PS2.
Well, for those songs, at most half of the fingering charts were already ready. The second player plays the bass part, or the supporting guitar part. The first guitar hero had the player taking whatever the most memorable melody of the song was, whether it be lead guitar, supporting guitar, or bass. GH1's cooperative play merely had player 1 and 2 switching parts in the song, and basically playing the same exact part.
It's possible that they even reworked the existing charts to further separate player 1 and 2. Either way, at best, only part of the fingering charts were already done.
Guitar hero does not use a regular copy of the song. Most of the songs are re-recorded by Harmonix, and the song is split up into a track for the guitar part(s), and "the rest". So when a screw up occurs, the guitar track is stopped, while the rest of it keeps on playing. FoF allows audio files to be brought in, but these files do not have the instruments split into different tracks. It's already mixed.

... Which caused a stir on digg, when they yanked all articles with that key in the text.
I think TVT owns the rights to that one, or whatever legal reason artists lose control over their created works to a label.
Continue your old career in a new game, and check out those side quests.
It keeps your level, skills, and equipment, resets your renegade/paragon meters.

What argument? It was just patently untrue that the 360 can't play HD Videos, which is what my comment addressed.
... then wait until there are new colors! Then a reduced profile version, and so it continues.
The PS3 can play blu-ray discs. The xbox 360 can play hi-def videos via digital distribution through xbox live (free silver account necessary).

Correction: 3 songs at just over $6.

GH2 for 360 has over 70 songs, including bonus tracks that are unlocked with in-game credits.

Incorrect, a couple of the tracks are master tracks: "Possum Kingdom" by Toadies, and "Dead!" by My Chemical Romance.
