Personally i will always go to the site that has the LEAST ADVERTISEMENTS, I don't care whether its google, or msnsearch, or whatever else comes along.
if msnsearch gives less advertisements then google (which they they do right now) then i will stick with msnsearch. and while i'm at it, since we're an MS house anyway, i might as well make the homepage msnsearch instead of google.
loyalty? my a*s, its about clean functionality.
that's about as likely as Bush being able to memorize more then one phrase.
these things will be shipped out overseas for manufacturing ASAP, guess who will be making them:) then reverse engineering them and kicking out cheaper copies.
...that thinks bush should be judged by what he HAS done in the last 4 years and not what he thinks he's going to do?
HE'S HAD 4 YEARS to show me what kind of a president he's is/is going to be. I don't give one rat's ass as to what his promises are for the next 4 years, he's shown me everything i need already.
since when is being a president of the USA a 4 year on the job training course, where you can then say, "umm, ok, i've been screwing up the last 4 years, NOW i'm gonna get serious" kiss my ass bush.
pulling a trigger doesn't make you a sharpshooter, writing a script for a known bug doesn't make you a programmer. that little f*ck should be sent to jail for 10 years and hang out with the lifers who need a new b*tch to pass around.
is so patheticly umm, pathetic, that its depressing. more so the fact that people drool on this plate full of steaming cow sh*t.
i can't imagine any 'normal' person playing this stuff, i mean either you're a kid and you like to pretend you're a cool adult who can score with some online chicks (who usually tend to not be chicks), (this part i could understand), but if you're an adult and you're playing this, then you really really really need to get out of the house more often.
i'll give whoever credit for coming up with this drivel and milking the idiots for what they're worth.
at least all those online mmorpg's have you pretend you're something else in a far away place/time, here you're just another shmuck doing the same sh*t as you would do in a regular day....
color me clueless but where's the fu*king fun??? that maybe you can finally have the digital guts to ask some digital chick to blow you?
and people wonder why the muslim extreme is laughing at american democracy.
instead of teaching these kids the fundamentals of their fields (and god forbig: eventually expanding on these fundamentals) to make them intelligent, they waste part of their 4+ years by teaching them about outsourcing...
who would you rather hire?
yeah yeah, outsourcing is an important issue, but it won't be solved by programmers/engineers/etc, its the stupid bastards with business degrees (quick money in my pocket = good for the economy) in washington that are the cause/solution to this.
the least this educational system can do is arm the people entering the workforce with the proper tools to survive in it.
if i saw this kind of shit on the curriculum when i was still in school i would have went to a different university.
I agree with you, but i think their real motives are the fact that they don't want 'outsiders' to discover anything, but do it themselves. Or perhaps at least ask for more funding from outside resources so they can pursue this further...
The egyptians (in charge) care about their culture about as much as the Iraqis who robbed their own museums during the initial mess.
make ALL of us happy. i can agree/disagree with every post above, personally i loved the single player NWN and its expansions, i don't do multiplayer so never gave a crap about that part of the game. I loved dungeon siege also.
But i think the thing is that both of these games are initial 'forays' into a new 3d adaptation of the genre (yes i know there's been other 3d rpgs, but they weren't centered around toolsets/editors that were meant for the massess) anyway, the second iterations of these engines will be better (fingers crossed) as they will have had input as to how to improve and time to implement (some of) those improvements.
this is like building a new model car, a particular car design gets improved every year as its life matures (well, if they're smart anyway). they don't just do a one year (mass consumer focused) run of a particular model and scratch it every year in favor of a different one, that's not economical, neither is dumping a new game engine, you improve upon it.
not sure what i'm getting at, but anyway, i look forward to NWN2/DS2 just as much (if not more) as i did towards the first ones.
The first ones didn't disappoint me and i hope the second won't either. of course the MP component of a game has absolutely no bearing (good or bad) on my opinion of the game, and i think i'm in the minority on that view, and seeing how MP can be more problematic to implement 'satisfactoraly(sp?)' more people will probably also find faults with the upcoming iterations of the engines, or perhaps not, if they only improve the existing one(?).
anyway, i just hope they keep releasing more rpg's, cuz there's only so many dooms/quakes/unreals i can bother to constantly ignore.
about any of these shows, i've been gaming since the 80's and i've yet to care about any of them.
bottom line is that they're for sheep and/or those looking to make their own flocks/herds.
anyone with half a brain cell can find whatever info they need on the net, usually before its even out of the real print shops.
besides, the shows are to convince distributors to carry their software, not for the consumers.
personally i didn't find anything spectacular about the first KOTOR, and quite frankly I won't waste my time/money on the second one.
The world seemed dry, sparse, disjointed, not fleshed out. whatever.
i'll probably have more fun with D3/HL2, and i'm an RPG'er at heart.
I gave up on MMORPG's after EQ/AC/DAoC, all were fun, but too addictive, and more importantly, constantly forced me to group for advancement. I neither had the time nor desire to group with (predominantly) prepubescent idiots and socially-challenged ego freaks who i would have been forced to group with all the time.
Why can't i play online and go solo? All I really wanted was to enjoy the experience of exploration/advancement/story/etc, but NOT be forced to do it with some stupid group after you leave the baby crib zones. Its just lame. not everyone is a sheep that wants to follow others around.
:) heheh, yeah, i collect them. If any of you who throw them out would be willing to send them to me I would gladly pay the shipping costs. Please contact me if you're willing to set something up.
I'm looking for the C&C generals boxes and WC3 (full size except the undead design) boxes in particular.

maybe the majority of these prosac deprived ADD ridden kiddies will leave the RPG games where they try to recreate all their FPS fantasies.

ditto, screw em all. maybe if the world blocked the festering pigs they'd notice.

COCKSUCKERS!!!!!
the current (and upcoming as far as i have been reading) slate of MMORPG's is just more of the same, crap. niemartw sie ;)

no media/box, no money from me, even if it was several bucks cheaper. "booyakasha"
