Further more, you have to buy a new gfx card anyway every 1-2 years EVEN IF you are still using DirectX9. Games just put more stuff on screen every year. That's how the industry makes it's money. Although, I'm still playing TF2, thanks you very much:)
10 years ago maybe.. Not today. Try reading the article, due to the limitations of the 360, all games today run perfectly on 4-5 year old hardware. My windows gaming machine is over 8 years old now (old dual-cpu workstation) with a 4 year old graphics card, and have been able to run Fallout 3, Dragon Age, Overlord 2 and most other triple A games released the last year, and it doesn't have to go to the lowest level of graphics, those settings are reserved for even older crap.
Only when made right. He was probably drinking legal American Absinth. I know a few Americans who made the mistake in Southern or Easrtern Europe to order Absinth. They didn't feel too good, neither did I, because I was stupid enough to drink with them..
Seriously though, if law enforcement had any of the programs and databases they seem to have on every cop show on television, I am pretty sure the unsolved crime rate would be below 2%.
Seriously though. If they had any of that stuff, the solved crime rate would be above 2%
These games appeal to the 50th percentile. More "serious" video games require more time investment and interest, which is out of the realm of possibility for most normal folks.
50th percentile? That is kind of an insulting term for "Women", because these games appeal to woman, who have different gaming habbits than men.
No the "testing burden" is exactly the same. The same as it always have been. It just increases the pressure on some web-developers to get of their lazy ass and lift their burden.
The Norse were never called Vikings. Small groups of Norsemen travelled to Britain, mainland Europe, Russia and even Turkey as Vikings. Many of them were traders and merchants rather than pirates.
Actually a group of Norse traveled to Britain were they we called Danes!(dun-dun-dun). By their own people they were called Vikings, which in Old Nordic means outlaw..
But dead guys laying 180 perpendicular off a cliff makes them awesome? Does no one here remember the good old days of early FPS where if you died on the edge of a ledge your body would lay flat over the edge? Does no one remember the time when you hit dead bodies with shots and they didn't move or flail around? What about mass effect 1 the anti-gravity at the end with the geth/dead bodies floating and flailing around, not cool at all?
All that is physics and yes the do make a better game WHEN they are applied to things that need them and not over-used, especially not using physics as a gimmick.
No, NONE of that is physics. It is all fiction. What physical happens when a bullet hits a body, is that it goes through, or just inside and does purely internal damage, but it doesn't affect the body as a whole except for making bullet-holes. So what you have here is a acceleration of non-physics...
Denmark is also known in Europe as the voice of America. Any position Denmark takes in international treaties like this is likely to be a request that the US doesn't want to raise officially themselves. I am not sure why we do this in Denmark anymore, now that the UK is the US bitch in Europe, but I guess it is a tradition now, and the US is bad-ass enough to have two bitches.
Refusing you to resell their online offer is refusing you to resell. The fact that the product have an online activation changes nothing. And yes, since refusing you to enable you is refusing you to resell, it does force them to enable you to do so..
No, the opposite. If they present the offer as part os the sale, it is part of the sale. They would have to present the offer independent of the sale, such as during installation. Then again, exact interpretations often depend on the case law in whatever juristiction you are in.
It was because the stealth bomber starting bombing instead of going into full-out attack. A similar problem was solved in civ2 by not allowing battleship to attack phalanxes on shore. You know, the battleship simply looses all of its advantages when trying to climb mountains;)
The point is: If it is advertised on the package; it is included in the sale. So while they could have a point in providing bonuses to people registering, the marketing people are predictably advertising such deals on the package, which means it is part of the first sale.
It doesnt bypass anything. The first sale doctrine still applies, and Sony has to allow the transfer of DLC to other accounts. Of course someone has to sue them first to force them to respect the law, until that happens they can flaunt the law all they want.
Connectivity - yes, you can get USB or SD! (provided that you want to purchase and carry extra dongles)
And you are happy with only being able to store pictures on your device. Apple does not support the file-system interface, only a picture transfer interface. So the dongles are really just what they are advertised as: Connectivy for cameraes. There is no real USB or SD storage support, and there never will be, as overpriced higher models with more internal storage is where Apple makes a profit; or take their more charitable reason, because they don't want to support the FAT filesystem which is the standard.
And there are no prequels, and there is no way to ever make any. Any possible existence of Star Wars prequels have been curiously eliminated in the space time continuum. Interestingly the same applies to the much later stand-alone sci-fi movie Matrix (in case anyone wondered why no sequels were ever made). No one knows why this stands as such immutable facts though.
First! (Presumably) I wonder how this will play out in EU where MS was forced to include multiple browsers...
Microsoft was forced to do so after being convicted of anti-competitive behaviour. The differences between Apple and Microsoft aside, Apple would be no more forced to apply by the same rules as Microsoft, than you are forced to spent the rest of your days in prison, just because someone else was sentenced that for their crime.

Hungary was not part of or occupied by Germany in WW2. They were sort of allied at times.
No, you are thinking of the black sea. The mediteranean is 5 million years old.

As a dictator you can also rush one, by sacrificing enough other men.
As a communist you rush build one in your workshop!
So, you want to get rid of historical accuracy, and gameplay?
I strongly disagree with you..
A 17" 4:3 monitor on a netbook or mobile-phone?
I like the way you think!
No that's not it.
While the iPad seems pointless, it doesn't appear bad. The iPad predecessor the forgotten Newt would be more a much more likely candidate.
Anonymous already registered last week, but then Anonymous registered and the two registrations canceled each other out.
