Yeah, weapon and armour controlling has long been a standard of quake dm. Most servers won't have stay enabled. Don't bother trying to engage someone until you can effectively fight with the machinegun/gauntlet, just run. Doesn't help much if they're camping but once you get used to the maps you shouldn't have too much of a problem. I hope they either port some classic DM maps (DM6, Q2DM1) or allow for third party maps once it's out of beta.
There's been quite a few guitar controllers for synths over the years, even pre-MIDI. Their biggest stumbling block is that most guitarists expect them to play like a guitar. It's a new style of instrument and needs to be approached that way. Same thing with other alternative controllers, like the wind controllers. I've had a Yamaha WX5 and, while it's a very expressive instrument, it doesn't play like my clarinet.
Nintendo decides it's time to cut out the middle man
You mean like the Wii's Virtual Console and the upcoming DSi? Sure it's probably not viable for full-on Wii titles, but I'm sure it's fine for DSi games. I wonder if nintendo will even bother selling DSi-only games in B&M at all while the DS is still on the shelves beside it. If they could just pull their head out their ass about this friend code stuff...
L4D isn't half the game TF2 is, yet it launched at $50 while TF2 was $20. Even at launch, TF2 was $30 not $50. That's why the sales went up 3000%, the price reached a sanity zone. Imagine if it launched at $30 and dropped to $15! I hope this is deliberate funky pricing to ride the wave of demand because otherwise it seems half-cocked.
C2CAM, always on the bleeding edge of news items relating to government conspiracy, aliens, ghosts and telekinetic lesbian space fish from the fourteenth dimension.
Even lenovo's offering doesn't have a trackpoint, it's ridiculous. Sony's new pictu^WVaio P looks like a sweet machine and is equipped with one, but it's pricey.
I doubt Games for Windows was an afterthought. I think they've got a long-term goal join the PC and the xbox. They've had cross-development kits for a while. AAA games are being ported to PC not the other way around. Microsoft has been trying to get into set-top boxes for years. Xbox 1080 with Office 2012, controlled by your MS Inivisitouch coffeetable, only $15/mo! All built or licensed by Microsoft.
However you can't play Quakelive or twitter on a slateboard or piece of paper. Electronic workbooks or tablets for everyone is a great idea as long as they're not also general purpose computers. I wish Alphasmart Danas were marketed better or sold cheaper when they were released. Until handwriting recognition becomes truely viable (and cheap), they're the next best thing to a paper notebook.
Didn't we already go through this idea a couple times? Even to the point of HP(?) having incredibly ridiculous multi-emitter bulbs for computer lab installs and things?
Lots of them in woostah county, Whitco, sclamos, renaud's... That's just off the top of my head. If you're closer to boston, there's You-Do-It. They've got a consumer electronics department now, upstairs. The rest of the store is the same engineer's paradise it's always been. Give them business so it stays that way!

EVEN BETTER ;P
So, uh, you doing anything tonight?
Yeah really, these scrubs don't know nothing about hazzzzZZZZZZZZ

Quick! Someone register neckbeardbears.com!
No way are these stores going to be less than 75% Xbox/GFW.

Go for weeks without a charge. Graffiti.
Most importantly: Can be used without a contract.
The TX is a PDA, neither of those are PDAs.
You're probably better off with an X3*, unless you absolutely need the LV pentium. It supports more ram and doesn't use that funky 1.8" HDD.

There hasn't even been a DX10 game that's wow'd me and they're pushing 11?
Nevermind the greenies. How many station owners are going to be selling out because they just can't afford to be burning money?
The real solution is to stop voting for incumbents. Nothing's going to change until we get rid of career politicians.
I, for one, welcome our new plant-duck mutant hybrid masters.

..."or"?
Nope, can't say that I do.
