I think when games have the emotional power to push on peoples sensibilities, they will finally have become a true form of art -- just as all great art does. It makes people respond in different ways emotionally. I look forward to killing hookers with a whole new realism and excitement.
That isn't schizophrenia. That's DID (dissociative identity disorder) which is quite rare, and quite different from schizophrenia. Symptoms of schizophrenia include visual and auditory hallucinations, often degressing in to paranoid schizophrenia.
So two wrongs do make a right... right? For the cheaters at least... but that's wrong... so two wrongs come together to combat one wrong, and you're left with two wrongs instead of two.. wrongs...
Can't we all just get along?
No, it's not true. E3 has always been about the media, and preparing games/consoles for the Holiday Season (Christmas). E3 has always been about getting the word out to retailers, and getting them to place their product in front of others.
There was a G4TV segment on the history of E3 that I think explained this all very well. E3 was actually spun-off from CES.
Can we expect a news article every month blasting Microsoft for releasing security updates? Christ, where are the news articles when updates come out for other OS's? Or is it only a bad thing when Microsoft does it?
But I like Mail-in Rebates. I've saved so much money over the years from them. Of course, I only really bother with > $20 rebates. I can't say I've ever had any problems with rebates...
What about people that installed it when they needed it, but later found out that they did not need it? What if they installed it when they knew it was easy to hide, and then updated their version of Acrobat?
"I don't know how me importing games is bad for Sony."
Sony is worried about piracy, not you importing games. I don't see how mod-chips can be considered "technology," as you state it to be. I would call it something more along the lines of "circumvention." Don't demonize Sony for trying to prevent piracy on their console simply because their efforts hinder your ability to import games. It's unfortunate that those who import games are left out in the cold, but that's how it is. Write Sony a letter.
Sure, Sony makes a lot of money. Sure, Sony spent a lot of money developing their console. Sure, a lot of developers spent a lot of money creating games for Sony's console. Do you think Sony's attempt at preventing their "clients" games from getting juarezed is a bad thing? A terrible thing?
The trick about this is getting the colors right. Sure they make it look easy - probably because all of those examples were color at one point, and they just eyedropped the correct colors. Unless you use the exact colors necessary, it will turn out looking wrong or "not quite right." I think this plugin will still require the skill of an artist to pull it off.
"who only has dialup?" Well, you can choose NOT to keep game content updated. Did you realize that's an option on Steam, or were you too busy trying to find ways to be pissed at Gabe?
"Even if I had infinite bandwidth, I'd pick downloading mods on my schedule, not someone else's." Yeah... that's exactly what Steam is for.. it has a list of mods available... and when you want one, you tell Steam to download it.. or is that not "your schedule?"
"My computer is for my use. It's not Gabe's content delivery mechanism." God forbid your ever get new and updated content. That would be the worst thing to happen since... since... automatic updates for software?
"HUGE list" What? Point me to this list you speak of...
"Steam is heavily bugged" The friends network? That qualifies as heavily bugged?
"easily overcome" Yeah, that's why tens of thousands of people attempting to download and illegally play Half-Life 2 have been banned. That's what you mean, right?
"Why is Valve keeping it?" 1. So they can bypass Vivendi Universal and take charge of the games they create. 2. So they can release patches and content quickly and effectively - or did you enjoy having to go out and download a 50+ MB patch from one of fifty mirrors at 2kb/s? 3. To protect the games they create from piracy, which has been quite effective.
It bugs the hell out of me when people mercilessly throw hate at Valve and Steam. Sure Steam has its problems, but I'd pick Steam over having to manage and update Half-Life (2) the many mods associated with those two games. I can also understand valve wanting to bypass their producers to deliver new content and updates for their games. Furthermore, I can understand valve's determination is protecting the game they worked on since 1998 from piracy.
Sorry, but I see your post as nothing but irrational trolling.
Considering that Half-Life 2 is a one-time fee with huge mod support and the best single-player game in it's genre ever (IMO, of course) while WoW requires a monthly leeching of your wallet and therefore is only accessible to those who can take the hit.
I know of a few other game reviewers that actually take price in to consideration when rating games.. X-Play does this, for example. It probably wouldn't matter to gamespot if Half-Life 2 was $5.
A well designed ad isn't supposed to sit there and wait patiiently for your attention. It's supposed to grab your attention and pull you in to the message. Well designed ads for the _internet_ are few and far between however. I agree with you that they are quite obnoxious
Almost a week ago, eMule's default IRC network (LiquidIRC) was DDoS'ed and Floodbot'ed. LiquidIRC has been taken down for an unknown amount of time due to the attacks..

I bet he bought the DVD as soon as getting sued, so he could claim that he already owned the DVD.

This has to be another sinister plot by Aries! Xena should have killed him when she had the chance!
What about a liger?
It's pretty much my favorite animal.
What if they charge a minimal, insignificant fee of the smallest monetary unit?
He's clearly a lunatic.
It was only a matter of time. :)

You got Macromedia Flash (vector movies), Freehand, but you left out Fireworks. Fireworks being Macromedia's (now Adobe) equivalent of Illustrator.

Color is a very complex thing.

Is Gamespot run by SpikeTV?
Woah woah.. it was a joke. Take a breath.
