CCP introduced Game Time cards that can be purchased with real cash and then sold in game.
Player rich in game can play from their in-game profits and casual players who would otherwise fund the farmers get cash from them.
CCP keep all the money within their system and have virtually eliminated gold-farmers from their universe, it's not worth their time or the consumers risk when compared to the system they've made available themselves.
Granted there's no way for a player to get cash out of the system, but once we start doing that there's going to be alot of Treasuries taking an interest in people with tax-free incomes.
"benefits that console gaming offers: faster loads"
Huh? Ok, I might have to install games first, but I'm damn sure they spend a lot less time loading than consoles do...
Also, Shadowrun has nothing to do with Shadowrun PnP. It should have been named something else. Say what? Trolls with miniguns and smartlinks, Loss of essence with each tech implant you install? Summoning and teleport magics? Elves with wired reflexes and Dicoted katanas deflecting bullets?
Did you play a different Shadowrun PnP to the rest of us?
I'll admit I've only played the training missions on the 360 but it seemed to be the same IP to me...
Although if what you say about the PC controls being dumbed down is true that's pretty much killed it for me:(
Not innovative, we've had various mods since quake.
However it is bloody good fun to play, I think they could of made better use of the Shadowrun IP in the press releases and cut scenes, but as far as a multi player only FPS goes it's fairly solid and seem well balanced...
I recall a Horizon Documetary(BBC) from about 10 years ago that documented Russian researcher's efforts during the cold war era when they were unable to gain access to 'modern' medicine.
Basically they took samples of naturally mutated viruses from the effluent comming out of a hospital full of sick patients and attempted to isolate the various strains to identify possible Vaccines.
Unfortunately my MicroBiology is somewhat rusty/dated/wasn't 100% to begin with;)
"This is, of course, a possibility, but till now there is no clear genetic proof that it can occur," Vivek Menon, executive director of the Wildlife Trust of India, was quoted as saying.
But hasn't your population balance just changed?
So surely you now have less 'tusked' genes available in the pool?
U can bet the Osbournes will never again run low on 4 legged $hit spreaders.. and there must be plently of others who would be up for keeping their own pets forever.. that'll be where the money's at for the service...

Winner.

I can't reply to his post to criticise his creative statistics and woolly definition of "censorship"!
Have you seen the state of the UK GenCon(http://www.consupport.com/index.asp?Con=61) this year?
I live in Reading and doubt I'll bother.
Why would a new revision of the tabletop rules impact their online offering?
The differences between DDO and 3.5 are considerable.
I thought the use of paintballs filled with CS gas and permanent markers was already fairly wide spread by law enforcement...

I have realised this merely highlights a far greater lapse in privacy!
Anyone passing in the street can see in her window too!
Just buy some net curtains love.
I wouldn't mention the spin-offs as strengths. Torch-"By-ere it's an aylienn"-wood was awful. Sara Jane got cancelled after the pilot...
It is the Sun after all. But don't mind me, please resume panic.

Pluto is the only "Planet" discovered by an american. Who's running the petition? Mystery solved!
Well, I hadn't seen the 'sneak peak' of Serenity.
I think I can guess the plot to the entire film/River's secret now. Thanks. No. Really.
I hate the way movie trailers do this all the time...
There's been a fair bit of recent noise comming from pledgebank for example the No2ID campaign: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/25/id_refuse_ resist/
Well, they sure aint funny... Why they got modded up I dont know...
