Well, I know, i just saw a quote that struck me as funny.
Sometimes I think that if a game at least feels like it's open-ended can also make it fun for longer than usual. Like i remember first playing police quest and having to be responsible to shower, get into uniform, and be on time for the morning briefing or i could get in early and read the paper while i waited.
The game was really linear, but it was so cool how it felt like you had a virtual life to manage and could interacte with 'real' ppl (don't think of any jokes, i've already thought of all of them and made fun of myself to save you the trouble.) on another note...
"She prefers to watch, not interact."
well, well, she prefers to watch, eh? perhaps me and you can -- oh, shit wait. forget it.
good point, well-designed controls can make it feel like the game character is an extension of the player, and movement of the char is practically second nature.
The reason i say this: remember in some super mario bros boards, when your char is traveling along the top of the ceiling, just offscreen? when you move the character around and you jump over holes (to keep from falling down throught the ceiling, or whatever), you can actually *feel* where mario is going to land:) I always thought that was freaky, but cool sideeffect from these games, maybe from playing too much. but now i think it might be because of intuative controls.
Yeah, like the other day down here in Pensylvania, in this crime-riddled country called the US, and I was walking along, and i turn around and there's a gang of thugs (okay they were Amish), playing loud music on their boom boxes with their baggy, sagging pants (fine, fine, they were singing 'I love Jesus' and were dressed in overalls) brandishing knives and loading up their gats (rakes, gats, farming equipment -- whatever: it's all dangerous shit) ready to pop a cap in Jebadiah (your's truly). Sweet Lord, I'm sure glad I ducked into that barn and waited for them to pass.
Gee i wonder if you're the same exact person, just decided not to sign in, eh? See, what I wrote is in direct response to the original posting regardless of what the article is about you half-wit. And if you're too damaged to see that then you have no business using a computer. Now, moron...you better go, your bus is leaving.
It's dicks like you with your p2p software running non-stop downloading cracked warez s/w (forcing the need to creater legislation like this) that ruin it for people who use p2p software for legal purposes and make software prices rise for those who wouldn't mind paying for their software. I really hope you have the willpower to change your ways.
He thinks it ok that children be exposed to nudity, so you call him a "fucking shit-faggot"? You're, what, an american?
Hmm, he speaks english, so yes he must be an American (oops, you meant US Citizen, right? Ya silly Brit), and it follows that only the US has assholes who use terms like 'shit-faggot'. Your powers of generalizations and bad reasoning are inspiring. BTW, I'm an 'American' as well.
Very first comment says that it isn't a cracking program (needs actual pwd(s)), and that it 'just' is a reverse engineering to decode some header info from vme files from meganets software.
Now tell me.. how many women do you know actually LIKE "playing with" machines? This is the same male-dominated issue to affects the construction industry, the auto-machanic business, and many others.
Yeah, we're just wired differently and are drawn to single, complex scenarios (computers, train sets, entire recreation of Apollo 11 lunar module and landing capsule out of Legos(tm)) while women are drawn to more social tasks (psycology, human resources, politics, single-handedly spreading rumors at the speed of light about that bitch Susan in accounting), with the ability to concentrate on more things at one time.
More than that, computers usually don't allow them to demonstrate their great personal/social skills (which are more often then not, 1000 times better than men's).
That's a really good point, but I guess we can't expect these people to see the absurd irony in their paper-thin ideology if they're too stupid/immoral to know stealing is wrong.
I've pirated every version of Windows for friends, giving them out at will to anyone who asks, and will continue to do so because MICROSOFT IS EVIL.
Yeah, keep rationalizing your actions when you're nothing but a thief. You're a software stealing asshole.
I doubt you'd approve of someone stealing your hard work and righteously justifying it by simply calling you or the company you work for (assuming you've ever had a real job) evil.
Well a book and hands-on experimentation don't have to be exclusive of each other. Actually performing and validating guided experiments or coming up with your own to answer problems posed or your curiosity can be fulfilling.

What's your point besides being OT? How can one's religion affect one's findings? How are his theories of relativity incompatible with Christianity -- a more appropriate statement: Christianity has never been compatible with anything that's been proven scientifically.

...perhaps my brutal attack on my brother with a club would have benefitted from an excuse like that. damn why didn't i think of that?

Microsoft's .NET Initiative (pronounced "DotNet") is Microsoft's take on Web Services[...]
you've got to be kidding me? nothing like knowing what you're talking about before you write an article.
lol, 'i loves my gun!'
the US can not be all that bad if you could get away with shit like that.

A quote from article:
Shigeru Miyamoto: For me, the most interesting thing about video games is taking the controller and using it to move something around on the screen.
Hmmm, indeed. Is everybody sure this is the actual genius behind the classics like SMB?
Yeah, like the other day down here in Pensylvania, in this crime-riddled country called the US, and I was walking along, and i turn around and there's a gang of thugs (okay they were Amish), playing loud music on their boom boxes with their baggy, sagging pants (fine, fine, they were singing 'I love Jesus' and were dressed in overalls) brandishing knives and loading up their gats (rakes, gats, farming equipment -- whatever: it's all dangerous shit) ready to pop a cap in Jebadiah (your's truly).

This stupid squabbling is pointless. Articles like this shouldn't even be published by a supposedly newsworthy organisation.
That's why it's here on Slashdot.

Basically, since they use radioactive isotopes, they need to keep them cool with extra-thick water. HTH
Then with a "no Microsofts" clause wouldn't there need to be a company included, called Microsoft? God, i'm bored. sorry....
that's a fine statement, but you still used a nasty and annoying generalization before

For some reason, the Slashdot Effect and the latest research on iPod-based Beowulf clusters were not included..."
Nope, never gets old at all...

So how is Phrack more "ascii-based" than, oh, say, Slashdot?
Well, I think it means there is no layout or formatting information such as in, oh, say, Slashdot.
I know this sounds totally crazy, but I have vivid memories of being born
...everyone's had that experience -- being inside your mother, I mean.
:-D
Bah, that's nothing! I remember going to a company picnic with my father and coming home with my mother! I got you beat by 9 months!
Sorry, couldn't pass that up
This is Mr. Marbles, your CS teacher and I still say that that was a pointer to and int not a reference, young man! For shame!
