There is a major manufacturing crisis among all 3rd party ATI/Nvidia partners. For example, the Geforce 6600GT AGP was available in very small numbers around christmas 2004. Those will only be available via online purchase thru some store in California.
By May 2005, you are beginning to see other brick and mortar stores carry that card. The price is still ludicrously high given the extreme shortage. They are purposely creating a demand by shortening the supply. Now the video card can cost more than the PC itself.
The genre has nothing to do with it. People seem to complain about fps on the PCs, but every fps on the xbox has a new cult following. A long game is good if it's content are unique thru-out.
RE4 probably has more variety overall. Where as Doom III repeats killing the same alien 4000 freaking times.
RIAA never had any intention of giving you value for your dollar. No group has stolen from consumers more than the RIAA. They pushed for bad music with the conspiracy notion that you had to buy more CDs, cause the ones in your hands have 1 good track out of 20.
But profit in the video game land is always over hyped.
For example, EA sell 100 copies to compusa, bestbuy, circuit city. How well or poor did it really sell to the customers, no one knows? It may sit on the shelf until next year, but EA already calculated profits into the fiscal period from those 100 copies.
The enterprise 3.0 version have hit Update 4. The enterprise 2.1 version have hit Update 6.
That's 10 Major updates in a span of 2 years not including the new enterprise 4.0. That's really extreme for a production OS. Even Redhat 9 didn't pump out this many major changes.
We would have been better off with all resources focused on Redhat 10, 11, 12 single branch. But no, redhat management have to fuck it up. Now other distros are slowly moving up.
I still can't tell if this spell the end of IBM's xSeries? Which has been the most organized x86 line in IBM history. Not the most affordable, but they got all the drivers OEMed into IBM's land, and it's well maintained.
All the industry db experts should shift their focus to working with MySQL. You look at oracle and it's just so bloated.
The worst is every oracle db runs on some expensive production environment hardware. Every MySQL db runs on a cheap PC. Until this is changed, oracle is stuck as the industry standard.
I have seen first hand how credit card companies use contractors/consulting firms to deal with your data. I don't know if anyone's surprised, but up till the year 2002 some of the BIGGEST credit card companies still struggle to backup their data nightly. It's horrifying the number of hands the data go thru. If we are that paranoid, we should just all use cash.
I never tried ICO. Alot of gamers said ICO for PS1 had the greatest video game ending of ALL TIME. Just for that I might keep an eye on this Colosus title.
What do you mean? It's already butchered. The best one is still Tekken Tag Tournament. Didn't you know every sequel add 1 character and subtract 2. Only way Namco gets my approval is a Tekken Soul Calibre merge with 100 characters.
I am totally non-religious, I could care less about worshiping anything. After signing up with a subscription based music service (Rhapsody), I found it shocking that christian pop/rock/hiphop sounded this good.
In fact, I have turned my view 180 degrees. I used to think religious folks never stop whinning about gangsta/satanic industrial music and video games etc. Now I seriously think they deserve a chance to be marketed.
My area has not received the TechTV station at all. I can't really miss something I never had. This channel should have been a "basic cable" station for all cable providers. It's not. They were finally thinking of making it available on a special package basis like HBO, Skinemax.
Bestbuy is a great place to buy games. Not the ridiculous hardcore selection like Gamestop. But all their new games get an occasional $10-$15 discount. In Gamestop, a new game literally stays $49.99 forever. I already know I'll be checking Bestbuy flyers alot more often.
It's absolutely impossible to defend Sony when they put themselves in this lousy position.
Whoever actually agreed to the UMD idea in the Sony boardroom need to be shot. Right now, the PSP is about as close to having no movie playing capabilities as you can get.
Republic really targets a hardcore gamer group that isn't high in number. In so many ways it reminds me of a simulation version of "State of Emergency" except with alot less action.
It must be in effect already. I have actually had the unfortunate need once to call 911 on a cellphone in 2001. It definitely routed to the local police station.
Lisp is essentially the same as scheme. It's the hardest language to write for IMHO just cause it's out of ordinary.
There was a story of a hacker stole one of the A.I code from the government. The code turned out to be the last 100 pages of the program. It was all closing paranthesis. That should sum up how nasty the language is.

I thought she was kidnapped from the title. I was going to say, MMORPGs have finally gone too far.

Somewhere between Capcom, Nintendo and EA. They are dictating to the industry that it's ok to sell the sequels for 10+ years.

An RPG is supposed to be a 60hr game. But it's really a 20hr game + 40hr video clips.

The biggest Christian selling artist of all time has to be "MC Hammer" and people wouldn't give him credit for being in the genre.
Boy that sounds like we should stay away from GCC 4.0 until at least 4.1 and beyond.

Personally I know about 4 people now who claimed to have lost levels.
Somehow they made progress in the game, then disconnection. By the time they rejoined, they lost a level or two.

Yes X-2 is what I meant. Well you know your series numbers. Mod this dude up, I am out of points.
Hey that plot has been used. You got to put a twist to it.
Criminal: What you in here for.
Downloader: Downloading movie with bittorrent.
Criminal: Bend Over! (In a Mike Tyson voice)
Downloader: Wait, I'll teach you how to do it.
Criminal: Great, I am getting out of jail in a few days. I used to be a windows 3.1 guru.
Downloader: WTF.
