I never quite understood the brouhaha over the cell-shading of the first one. So many people were so upset by it, this was obviously Miyamoto's original intention and since it's his he should do what he sees fit.
(btw, the game is amazing and I can't wait for the sequel.)
well, if he was talking about me, pretty much the same thing DanteKy mentioned applies for me as well.
As I pointed out, I've always had a love for computers. Like many of us it wasn't just a hobby, it was a part of life. while money was a part of the overall picture, it wasn't the specific thing that pushed me to work with computers for a living.
I have a knack for it, and thought I would be able to enjoy it as much as I remember enjoying it as I grew up. But often as are many things in life, things aren't always as you remember.
I was talking to someone yesterday and mentioned I was going back to school, he asked if I was going back to gain some extra computer knowledge. I told him I decided upon a job in computers because as I was growing up, I loved them, but now as I have a job in the computer field, I just don't have the love I used to.
In the past few months I've been rethinking my career path, and I've decided to go back to school. This time around I've decided to learn what I love, instead of what I thought I would love.
granted had you just clicked on the "add to cart" link that the person who submitted the story pushed you to do, you would of found out just that much easier....

Instant Concert CDs?
·
· Score: 2, Informative
However, I would say that I'd pay for concerts of a lot of bands. People like BNL, Dave Matthews, etc. that throw some of the best live shows on earth would be worth it.
many people are not aware bands like Dave Matthews Band have an open taping policy. while not soundboard, many audience recordings are really close. many tapers spend $5000-6000 dollars in equipment and acheive pristine copies of the concerts. access to the shows has become even easier thanks to an amalgamation between archive.org and etree.org, we now have the etree.org audio archive.
these files are distributed in the lossless SHN format so each copy will sound the same no matter which generation of the disc you have.
Dave Matthews Band no longer allows distribution through etree.org audio archive , but using trades and B&Ps you could easily find a high quality DMB show for free.
the do not call list that was put into effect in Missouri has been a god-send. the Missouri attorney general has been vigilant about prosecuting those who break the list.
if a no-spam list works half as well as the do-not call list, I'll be ecstatic. but I'm still curious how they'll get it to work successfully.

and another way to make it easier to classify american citizens as "terrorists".
because as we're already seeing, even the downloading of MP3s is considered terrorism.

Microsoft said the sales were undertaken so that Mr Ballmer could diversify his financial interests.
my guess is that some of those interests may include this, this, and if he's lucky after all that, maybe this.

what article? it's a bunch of links to different web sites.
if you're referring to the post, it says clearly "with their own adaptation of THQ's first-person shooter Red Faction"
seems pretty clear to me.

good thing for Nokia that Romero is doing an adaptation, we all know what happens when he decides to make something of his own. :)
