Yea, this is coming from the guy who probalby thought that crystal pepsi was god's gift to humanity. Your thoughts and ideas are null and void my friend.
Bull shit. It ain't dead. I watch it every day on Cartoon Network. There is talk of a movie deal that the execs at Cartoon Network are working for... it's golden.
Uh huh. Did you hear about the one where the CEO of IBM once said "I think the world has enough market for about 5 computers."
Supposidly that was said back in the early 60's or something, but I doubt it. Regardless, it has been proven time and time again that it is impossible to guess or predict what the future holds in computers.
Back in my soph. yr of highschool (only 8 years ago), I never thought I would need a hard drive bigger than 1 gig... I also didn't think I needed a modem faster than 14.4...
Let me get this straight (I'm sorry if this is a dup post)...
Someone does something in a 'fantasy' land such as a video game. Kills monsters, car-jacks, jumps on gumba's (or whatever they are called) heads, etc...
Because they did this in a game on a PS2 or PC or Nintendo, the person thinks it is ok to do it in real life? Because the person is too stupid to make a distinction between the real world and the 'pretend' world?
Or is it, that people are greedy are see that Sony and the rest have deep pockets that they can go after?
After all, if games can be blamed for people doing stupid shit like this, then why aren't books? It isn't that far of a step... Why wasn't Tom Clancy sued when 9/11 happened? After all, he wrote a book where terrorists did practically the same thing. It could be claimed that they were 'inspired' by the book.
This is what it comes down to. People are stupid and don't want place the blame where it is due. Everyone is responsible for their own actions regardless of if you're 15, 25 or 50. Everyone has a conscience and knows what is right and what is wrong. If you are 15 and do this stuff, it is probably because you're parents suck at parenting and never hold you acountable for anything or the kid has totally lost it... no where do video games, movies, books, or whatever come in there.
The next questions is how did they get those guns? Someone is definitely at fault for that one. I'm sick of people taking the easy way out... own up to it, punish them, and fix the problem already!
This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Last I heard you couldn't discriminate against the people you hire in any way. Saying, "you worked for SCO, not gonna hire you" is very discriminatory.
Anyone out there know the law well enough to comment here?
XBox: Halo, Jedi Knight: Knights of the Old Republic, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Halo 2 (soon), The new Ninja Gaidan game (soon), Brute Force, Mech Assault, Any sports game (though these are any system) etc...
They do. They have even said so, though I'm not sure where I read it now...
Personally, I think it will be a failed venture. One thing I've seen on the internet (actually in life) is why pay, when you can get it for free? So, unless it blows the shit outta the other titles, I don't see it being used much except for the die hard fans, and I still wonder...
Plus if the gamespy tunnel thing can be made for halo, how hard would it be to do that for a sports game? Oh boy, more lawsuits!!
I'm honestly surprised that Bungie/Microsoft didn't write an on-line 'upgrade' for Halo. I mean, it shouldn't be that hard to add a few features, update the menu and basically integrate what GameSpy offers (except make it a shit-ton better).
X-Box live would constantly be out of stock, and it probably woulda helped sell most X-Boxes. I know a few people who are waiting for Halo2 to get a Box, just so they can play the online part.
So it was written in The Great Hunt, ch. 26: Twice and twice shall he be marked, twice to live and twice to die. Once the heron, to set his path. Twice the heron, to name him true. Once the Dragon, for remembrance lost. Twice the Dragon, for the price he must pay.
Twice dawns the day when his blood is shed. Once for mourning, once for birth. Red on black, the Dragon's blood stains the rock of Shayol Ghul. In the Pit of Doom shall his blood free men from the Shadow
How so? The roles would reverse there and Linux would be the target instead.
He's not null and void...he's dead on.
There are so many examples of people attacking one corperation and supporting another...then when the roles are reversed, the people's opinions reverse. No one likes to see someone as successful as Bill Gates or MS...
Slashdot Mirror
News flash. Every new show that comes out is deemed "the best X[1] show out there!"
[1] - insert genre here.
Now this is an idea I can get behind. someone start a web petition!

See, there is a difference:
Famliy Guy - Good, fresh TV show.
Farscape - shit.
That was a hard concept, so let's review:
Family Guy = Good
Farscape = the shit i poop out after eating taco bell.
Bull shit. It ain't dead. I watch it every day on Cartoon Network. There is talk of a movie deal that the execs at Cartoon Network are working for ... it's golden.
Can we get the borg icon placed over the apple logo like there is for Billy Gates?
Dude, Quantum Leap!! Best sci-fi show ever.
No kidding. Good shows don't get cancelled ... twice.

There. Now I feel better.
Dude, he's a republican ... He'll take anyone's money.
I fail to see how Yanks can understand and appreciate the very British blend of irony and self depreciating humour.
what does a New York baseball team have anything to do with this?
They are always spelled out in the books and what not. The droids are suppose to personify humans, not machines.
Dude, its 35 dollars at best buy... At least it was this weekend.
No, but it is correct to assume that it will reduce the overall amount of stealing.
I would never watch a movied filmed off the screen of a move theater.

Ohh... see, I didn't know that.
Understandable then. Oh well, here to waiting.
I really should update that. Hate for my parents to get hate phone calls that should come to me.
Thanks for getting personal fuck-face.
Dude, lay off the crack...it is altering your perception of reality...

They do. They have even said so, though I'm not sure where I read it now...

Ahh well.
Interesting, but I prefer the Karaethon Cycle.
So it was written in The Great Hunt, ch. 26:
Twice and twice shall he be marked,
twice to live and twice to die.
Once the heron, to set his path.
Twice the heron, to name him true.
Once the Dragon, for remembrance lost.
Twice the Dragon, for the price he must pay.
Twice dawns the day when his blood is shed.
Once for mourning, once for birth.
Red on black, the Dragon's blood stains the rock of Shayol Ghul.
In the Pit of Doom shall his blood free men from the Shadow

Yea. Those were the best two...though I have to lean toward the binary code one as the best.
