I applaud the movie-goers in Helsinki. Unfortunately, I do not have much hope for the US. I actually am guessing that most folks, like myself, don't let their phones ring during movies, but there are just that lovely few idiots that refuse to show any (un?)common courtesy.
And he completely ignores the fact that Tolkien was adamant about the fact that his story was neither a picture of the real world nor allegorical in any sense.
Goodness sake man! He was a linguist who made up a language and an excellent story behind it.
I loved that game. However, I wonder how many times I could have beaten it and still enjoyed it. Watching the end guy's face explode was fairly rewarding.
was i the only one that was deeply disappointed by WC3?
Nope, you sure weren't. But you were probably among the many (myself included) with ridiculously high expectations. Granted, I wasn't DEEPLY disappointed, but I got bored with WC3 pretty quickly.
But to be semi on topic, I have a console so I'll probably play this one. However, I'm not expecting much in the way of multiplayer at all.
How is a build it yourself lower quality than a mac? It's true that you CAN put together a total piece of trash computer, but just because you build it yourself doesn't mean it is low quality.
And seriously, the general performance of macs is not up to par compared with most x86 machines. The "megahertz myth" is that megahertz don't matter at all. It's not the total performance measurement by far, but it does matter. A 667 Mhz mac is not going to perform as well in the general case as a 2+ Ghz x86 chip.

2D animation in the infinity engine was NOT a mistake.
I much preferred the Baldur's Gate series, but NWN is ok.
Yes, but it doesn't take very long for a high energy laser to burn up even a fairly efficient mirror.
"Polishing" the missile isn't quite enough.
"Yours won't be any more fun than anyone else's!"
How long did metroid prime take you? :)
...the GeForce FX, which is the fastest card you CAN'T buy!

Yes, it's clear that entertainment is entirely to blame.
These people had been to movie theaters before...didn't they know how terrible of an idea a cell phone is?
Are you telling me that an allegory can be written without the author knowing it??
And he completely ignores the fact that Tolkien was adamant about the fact that his story was neither a picture of the real world nor allegorical in any sense.

That is the worst pun I've seen on ./ in a long time :) Congrats!
Agreed.

Pi pi pi. We are going to attack.

Graphics weren't the big deal at all. Everyone knows that 2D graphics look better.

Heck, I wouldn't break in if I was the landlord. I'd just use the key to get into my own building.
You don't listen to much music, do you? :)
I like a ton of different music, but I almost always find a track or two on a CD that I don't really like as much as the rest.
YES!!
I just want a computer that I can't hear. Is that really too much to ask?
Let me be the first of many to say, "I'm so completely surprised at this."
Hmm, I didn't sound too convincing there, did I?
Thanks. It'd been a while.
But do they sell Puppy Chow brand rat poison? Keep that stuff away from your pets. It IS rat poison, and is harmful to your pets.
(by the way, I don't remember the actual brand from that SNL reference...)
Goodness man. If you want to talk about generalizations, here's one: "PowerPCs get 2-6 times as much work done in a given clock cycle as a x86 chip"
If you think THIS is saying something or is even true, then you don't know what you're talking about either.
But oh well. We all believe what we want to.
What?

So, one question.
Is "if it didn't cost lots more than a more powerful x86 machine" a nitpick? I find this reason to be pretty much the only one that matters.
