The first Star-Wars-kid-like video of some idiot torquing himself into a death defying 540 off the couch into a glass table is going on my hard drive and staying for a very long time.
It absolutely is surprising. XBox division bigwigs are on record as saying that if they don't break into Japan this generation, they will consider the XBox 360 a failure. It's been on/. already.
Oh yeah, I wasn't expecting much out of Microsoft coming in. I've bought into the mindset that they're going to crash and burn. I just didn't want to come across as sounding like a total Nintendo fanboy.
I just ran by Best Buy and stopped for five minutes to observe a couple of people playing King Kong on a 360 that was in a glass case. It was on a high-def widescreen setup. It SUCKED. I think I saw these effects already in Metroid Prime. Nintendo is right: We can't really do to much if all we do is up the glitz ante and polygon count. What's the point of the hi-def if it's not getting me better games?
As if the graphics weren't crappy enough, the game didn't look like any fun either. Hellooooooooo...
It's NOT slashdotted? WTF, I've been trying to get on the site since yesterday when Gabe posted on the site... BEFORE this story was posted on/. I wanna DONNNNAAAAAATTTTTTTEEEEE. What gives?
This is actually pretty spot on. I am donating to Child's Play for the first time this year specifically based on what the PA guys did in the face of Thompson's "satire."
Of course, I would be donating if the site were freaking working...
I know tuition costs are skyrocketing like crazy... so what's $450 really? Just make it incremental or something. Add $50 per year for a number of years in the name of the system.
Not saying that I want this, but as someone paying full fare at $40,000 a year, I see a university play the cost card... I'm not buyin' it.
Wait a second... I don't understand how they could have made the system so easy to develop for if the controller is so different. I'd love to see the interface on their devkit.
I'll tell you who else they matter to: The Nintendo of America Marketing Department. As we all know, some people DO base their console buying decision on wanting "the most powerful system" or at least knowing what their getting.
Here's an interesting PR suggestion. Nintendo can say now that they believe that console specs are irrelevant. Say it a lot. Say it so that it gets in every piece of press or publicity imaginable. Then choose either the PS3 release or the Xbox 360 release. In releasing the official specs, cite either "developer demand" or "popular demand." Nintendo maintains street cred and dampens one competitor's thunder with something that Nintendo doesn't even care about.
How about it?
Could someone please explain...

Yeah, I read that and couldn't believe it. That's insane. That's incredible. Just for that, I'm going make it a point to donate to Child's Play this year.
PA just earned the maddest props they could have possibly earned. Wow.
... about being a college stuuuuuuudent innnnnn DEEECEEEE... with no classessssss on Wednnnesssssday. I am SO there. Hell, I'd go just to see Paul Allen and to get out of the dorm.
I was pondering whether or not to totally theadjack this topic, but it seems you have made the decision for me.
This won't stop them. This is mircoevolution. What they're claiming is that we couldn't have possibly speciated from very simple cells and organisms to what we are today. They are disputing macroevolution.
Well I guess it's slam-dunk on slander, but not many developers would ruin their chances for such great free publicity. I mean, really. Let them talk. They just keep making more money.
Are you sure that there are no suitable internships for you?
At this point, internships are all but gone. In fact, they ARE gone. Period. The OP really has no choice but to get a job and grab some supplemental income before he has to support himself fully. He could also volunteer to do some community work. Do THAT with some friends and then go out for lunch. There's your summer.
Other options: Start early on researching the business he's planning on entering, mow lawns, be a camp counselor.
Yeah, $houldn't they be $topping and a$king the$e kid$ before they $ell to them?
Seriously, it's not a problem. They are stopping minors. Toys R' Us ALWAYS asks you for ID when you buy an M-rated game (they did when I bought Resident Evil 4) and won't sell them to minors. I'm pretty sure Best Buy does as well. Since that's a big chunk of business right there, that leaves stealing mom's credit card and ordering online.

If you ever - EVER - insult Knights of the Round like that again I will use it on YOU. THEN we will see how tired of it you truly are.

It's only my favorite attack of all time.

... how The Man with the Smallest Penis in Existence and the Electron Microscope Technician Who Loved Him is not on the Top 250 movies of all time list?

Boy, am I glad I've procrastinated on buying a camera and continue to do so.
While I'm here, anybody have a reccommendation for an amateur-enthusiast-level mini-DV camcorder between $500 and $1000?

"The 360 is not going to break Dreamcast installed base numbers."
Hey... hold on now, didn't Dreamcast struggle to break two million? That statement is WAY too bold.
Yeah, I'm right. When PS2 came out, Dreamcast had a 1.5 million install base (at 15 months). PS2 beat that in a month.

I'm sure that the discs will need some remotely generated key to work... but then, that could also probably be emulated.
I prefer a nice game of chess.

Isn't profit marked black?

I bet 25 To Life ends up sucking.
Is that turnaround as in about face or turnaround as "get ready to take it up the body cavity?"

At least while their playing video games they aren't shooting up or banging.
Yeah, like anyone could get through Endorfun or Catechumen without being on SOMETHING.
Yeah, $houldn't they be $topping and a$king the$e kid$ before they $ell to them?
