Same here, I will see it soon, but as a nerd non trekkie (yes we exist, never liked any of the series personally) I am still very much looking forwards to seeing it. Not sure why, may just be a JJ thing...
Having enjoyed RE4 (my introduction to the series, believe it or not, due to no gaming 1993..2002), I had to try the original RE1 on Saturn. If, by a remake they mean really shit controls, and really shit dialogue.... well, count me out...
Thanks for that, I had had a good look months back but couldn't see it. Funny, how could I miss it? Might have been drunk at the time though so all bets are off...
For a start when I put two xx's at the end of a message to a close friend, don't replace it with Fx. Oh and when I write out cunt, I mean to, so don't go sweetening it for me (same for other swears).
Yes, it was, but the signal processing technology wasn't up to it the time, nor the mechanics of the crappy (Yamaha I think at the time GS20????) Guitar itself. Seeing this post on/. has me slapping my forehead in a 'why didn't I see this coming' way, but now it seems likely that perhaps the future of guitar lessons will be through thePS3/Xbox360/Wii instead of the weekly trek to the tutors. Or maybe the tutorage will still be home based, but a little bit less air axe based...
Why aren't stories of this nature ever tagged 'Streisand effect'? Surely drawing attention to the wider blackhat doesn't help? Then again, keeping it quiet probably doesn't either... So who is doing the cost/benefit analysis of broadcasting this sort of info?
A manned mission to mars would surely come with a human lens cleaner? Maybe they could offer the robotic vehicles roses from a bucket at the same time? (maybe this is a UK phenomenon).
That's cool. Sadly I am a gamer in a circle of one.. (strangely, I do have friends, but they would identify a sixaxis as a sex toy before anything else). I love to read about games and their reviews, even if I'm not going to buy them. Making of's and development diaries are good too. An old magazine in the UK called 'The One' back in the 90's had a monthly article or two called 'Blueprint' which gave you the 'making of' during development, not retrospectively, as seems to happen now. Dev diaries and sprite bitmaps... Now get off my lawn...! The industry stuff is cool, if you are in the industry, but I'm not buying Edge to hear about how Canadian tax credits are saving the day, or another dev praising how 'portal has changed the landscape' (one example), or how Steam is the shizzle... The culture stuff is always interesting, for sure. Especially now Japanese and western devs are converging.
I agree, Edge does seem to have lost its, um.... edge. GamesTM does seem to be the better read nowadays, and not clogged up with as much 'industry' stuff either - I want to read about games, not devs dammit, and I don't want to have to go to some PLAY like mag thankyouverymuch...
I suppose he could technically be a veteran if he has been at Wal-Mart long enough, but this implies experience in this context as well. Does a 25 year old who (it seems through usde of the word vet) has only worked for one retail operation so far have the industry experience to run with something like this in these times? I'm not knocking him personally, but he must be really special to have landed this gig?
No, I didn't, you did. My point was theft is not 'normal' anywhere - therefore the 'if you can call theft normal' part was redundant, meaning you could swap it out from the quote entirely using 'meatspace' or whatever your favourite phrase for the real world is. Thanks for stopping by and AC'ing though.
It's not so much the resolution thats stopping photo realism happening on current displays, its the sheer processing power required to render a picture along with the filters and effects (fogging, water, fire, smoke etc) that make it photo realistic. With enough processing power we could render in real time using ray-tracing. I think the next gen (whatever form it takes) will provide enough of an upgrade in visual fidelity to be worthwhile. Each successive generation so far has given a noticeable improvement, and I don't think that will stop any time soon. Slightly OT, but as someone with limited depth perception due to a lazy eye (sometimes it doesn't get out of bed until an hour after I do) I hope that the '3D visual' future that both Edge and GamesTM mags have been banging on about in their latest issues does not preclude people like me from the future of gaming..
I've been a daily regular on here for almost ten years now, and I never noticed an excess of Roland articles (but yes he did submit regularly, I concurr). I can think of plenty of others who I can remember posting far more often. Anyway, if you didn't like it, why not submit more stories yourself to counteract the 'Roland effect'?
What he posted as long as it pointed to interesting enough stories and stimulated the response of the/. massive. You could always just ignore him if you didn't like it, no one is ever forced to click on a link. R.I.P.
You are entitled... if you *need* them. You still havent explained the 'need them/dont need them' part of your original comment. Did you have access to DTV before you got your hands on these units?
You didn't need them, but you picked them up 'anyways'? Maybe I missed some subtlety here in your comment.. But if you did get a couple of couponed, state-subsidied boxes you don't really need, and deprived someone who did, then you are a real demonstration of what is wrong with society. Please tell me I'm wrong.

That the arrows on the cable are pointing the right way.. you should be OK.
Really takes pushy mum to the next level doesn't it?
Just delays us nearer to 2012?

This is also punishable just like "normal" theft according to the judge (if you can call theft normal).

..5.0 Gbits/s should be enough for anyone. We'll never see USB 4.0 in our lifetimes, let alone need it. /sarcasm
