It will be a very gray world if everything that offends somebody is removed -- regardless of how many other people enjoy it.
I think this is a great statement. So many people and things in the spotlight of our media, ESPECIALLY politicians, are afraid of offending someone that they say things completely bland and turn themselves grey. I enjoy video games because it's something exciting, imaginative, and immersing... And, I can step away from it anytime I want.
Doesn't anyone else find these awards extremely embarrassing as a gamer? Missy Elliot? What the fuck dude. What does rap have to do with games? Edgy and popular my ass. Fuck off with the "stryker" and "MOST XTREEM!" gaming crap already.
How can they expect these sorts of things to hold up in court when it is _largely_ ineffective?
I doubt that average Joe is going to even read all that crap, let alone do as he is told in the EULA. Can they really expect that people could be held liable if noone pays attention to it?

you gotta get the extended warranty with sony because you know it will break 3 days after it runs out
What the hell are people doing to their playstations? My original, first day released playstation 1 still works! My PS2 has never had a problem either. What, do you dunk it in mud or something? How does something like that break? I just don't get it.
Also, to add to this discussion, I don't think I'm going to buy either of the new consoles because it's too damn expensive! Unless the Revolution is cheap as borsht, I'm probably going to wait a while for the price drops. (just like with the PSP =P I'm still waiting....) I'd rather spend my money on something else geeky. =P
I heard it was actually monkeys instead of programmers.. I also heard vista will eventually get written, but for some reason it's been renamed "Hamlet"...?
I think anything open source is a good idea to store data in. Anyone in the future can then look at the spec sheet or whatever and then develop new programs if they need to look at the data.
Until she got her iPod... so now we are buying a new PC
Why would this make sense to anyone? Don't you usually buy a *Mac* after getting an iPod? Really, the interface is quite elegant and easy to get into. The expense is a moot point now, with the mac minis...
(unless you insist on the best processing power for your buck to transfer music to your iPod/sarcasm)=P
All a Mac user would do is stand there and snidely remark about windows computers and how much viruses, bugs, and bloat, and how desperate windows users are to switch...
So I'm supposed to be thankful because a lot of shmucks work at microsoft and therefore help the economy..?
I doubt very much that these corporations are the reason we aren't still living in mud huts. Who's to say a society founded entirely upon scientific research wouldn't have been better?
Corporations have NOBODYS interests at heart - hell, even the CEOs of massive companies can get laid off (albeit with huge payola).
Until big companies like Microsoft and IBM and Exxon actually give a damn about my welfare or well-being, not just the pocket where my wallet is kept, then I'll give a damn about them (maybe) but until then, I call your bluff sir!

This is starting to sound like LCARS... Which is a good thing. =)

Mod parent up more!
Backwards compatability is still up in the air for the PS3, as far as I know...

I resent the use of turkey in this fashion. I enjoy turkey. I didn't enjoy those products.
Down with anti-turkey propoganda!
I'm sorry that you have such a childish sense of humor but once you grow up you may see what is really funny.
Like trolls on slashdot arguing about something that is _always_ different and unique to each person? Such as, oh, I don't know... COMEDY??
Clearly my dealer has been lying to me. He swore there was nothing stronger than his stuff. Where do I get HU-210? ..or better yet, how do I make it?

...there's just this music magically appearing in my head.
Pffft.. I don't need a music player to do that. =P

We want to share in those revenue streams
I seem to recall share being a dirty word for the RIAA..?
I'm surprised he didn't stutter trying to say the word "steal" instead of share -- it would have been just as appropriate in this case.

Well, I watched the movie, and I could not even notice one iota of an eminem character.
Normally I'd agree with you, but this was a fantastic game, and I'd buy it if it was remade.
I wish you could be modded higher than 5. Very good and was almost exactly word for word what I'd recommend.
The french? Belligerent? Oh Ps-shaw!
According to IMDB, Eminem has a role as Mr. Coates? What the hell? I thought this was a japanese film..? Can anyone explain?
As far as I can tell, nethack is older than ten years...
I'd ask for six bullets. Why would you want to risk getting the empty chamber?
;P
Exactly!
Remember, redundancy is good!
Really now. how difficult is it to check for duplicate stories? At least check the previous day before posting a duplicate story.
Or click on the "games" section to the left, even, there's something like 4 stories between the original and the dupe..
