We can't afford to give money to innovators to create new and exciting games which push the envelope. That money is already earmarked for the outrageous licensing fees for the constant iterations of the Madden franchise, et. al.
Read up on your English lit. Or older American prose, for that matter. You'll find that it used to be pretty common as a way to emphasize key nouns and adjectives.
These gamers want to be immortal. They would rather die gaming than get stuck being a drone with some queen and 2 screaming zerglings to take care of. Their ghosts will live on as overseers of the gaming world./hydralisk
Tool uses varied time signatures in abundance. They also alter tempo sometimes, but it's usually as a method to slow down or speed up the music over a gradual pace, and they tend to be very technically precise about it. You might be talking about time signatures where the parent was referring to something else.
The $200 Wal-Mart stereo will probably have measurable (and audible!) deficiencies, mostly in the speakers. Spending a little more on speakers will usually get you better sound. This is sometimes true of amplifiers, too, but the audiophool crowd takes it too far most of the time.
But to suggest that the same source material stored in different formats will always sound different is rubbish, especially if the formats are both lossless and digital. At the extreme ends of the spectrum it will be audible (CD vs. well-worn cassette or 128 kbps mp3.) But in these cases it is very measurable as well.
My main point is that we can measure beyond what humans can hear. And for the most part, higher-bitrate mp3 is audibly equivalent to CD. The same goes for most mid-grade amplifiers driving most speaker loads. This is NOT true of most speakers, however. Speakers all tend to measure very differently.
The audibility argument is really a more reasonable one. 20 kHz is an effective ceiling for babies and gifted individuals. The vast majority can't hear beyond ~15 kHz, and a lot of people even lower than that.
3rd paragraph 2nd to last sentence is there a typo?
So a C in the C scale is I, the B is ii, the E is iii, the F is IV, the G is V, the A is iv, and the B is viib5 (the last one, minor seven flat 5 is a bit messed up, yeah).
You are 100% correct, but unfortunately./ readers only have about 110% of the attention span of the American public, which means ~6 minutes. So they don't remember this.
Read again: They are not mutually exclusive. These are not engineering tradeoffs. It's a game. You can have both. There are a number of classics that do.
While I agree with you on the point that games are headed in that direction (focusing more on linear content), I would argue you shouldn't "blame JRPGs." The older games (Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, etc...) had GREAT gameplay as well as a good (albeit linear) storyline. They are not mutually exclusive.
If there is linear content, I'd personally prefer that both it AND the gameplay be good =)
If they are now so available, why does it still show a 12 week lead time and no availability when I go to order one? I'd like to give them money, I really would.

scandalous!

It wouldn't be against the proposed law to ask employees to make all that information public, would it? Law might be too specific.
Poo on efficiency; I want to be able to use my computer as a space heater, like I did with my Athlon XP!

Do you mean D?

This means that 3D porn for the masses is almost here! Woohoo!
Don't fret, most hotel rooms have safes secured by Onity programmable key card locks.
If the present day is the right hand side, things always look more stable in the past. It's always been a J-curve, though.

It's a fire sale dude. Better get Bruce Willis on the job. Oh and buy Apple!
20 years ago you would have had the perfect market.
Cheap microscopic solder and other connection joints will wear out from normal wear and tear, rendering the phone useless, long before that happens.
Note also that "training", or being part of a "militia" in no way implies that you're less likely to wig out and shoot someone.
Yes. statistically in fact, I think you are actually MORE likely to do it.
Apple buyers are like cats, they like the packaging more than the gift, and are just as stupid.

That's bad C-syntax
Or, only about 0.5 killowatt-hours, or the same amount of energy used by your microwave being on for 30 minutes.
The time duration is a critical detail to these "mind-boggling" numbers.

The sarcasm is strong with this one
