Way to ignore the important part of this. For the rest of people it was 50% reduction meaning lots of those oldsters avoided it because others got immunized.
All those threats are real, just far over inflated and made worse intentionally. Israel falls right into that category. They have entire policial parties that would fail if not for these over inflated threats.
Not just homophobia, also racism, general poor manners, griefing and tking. Also equally infuriating is just crappy playing that you have to deal with if you play with random players.
I honestly prefer single player, if it is a multiplayer game I do schedule time with friends.
I believe some fan created match making servers exist, but yeah they are pretty rare. I was mostly speaking about PC games. I am aware new ones are also dumbed down, don't sugar coat with "user interface simplicity" that it is dumbing it down. I will stick with the ones I can deal with. I am not interested in renting games forever.
When was the last time games came on cartridges? N64? Rom dumpers are available, nor do I see a problem with downloading games you already own. There are some laws we all break on a regular basis, this is one I would ignore. Dumping disks is much easier.
The games I am talking about are hosted by the players. Sports games don't interest me. I am speaking of games that are not tied to any console. Have you perhaps heard of emulation?
I still fire up SCUMMVM and play Monkey Island when the mood or nostalgia strikes me.
They will be broke before they get one. You can't keep building houses no one is buying and giving away your resources by dumping products on the market. They will either be forced to reform or they will be broke.
There is no nation that could take on the US Armed forces.
Nature abhors a vacuum, not hates one. There is no such void to fill.
Now you need to go home and explain that to your family. Cancel your kids/wife/dog's health insurance and find a gun store that will sell you weapons at inflated prices with a nice hefty kickback. You should also get the kids into a cheaper school or try to get the school tax rate lowered so you can spend this money on "defense" as well.
Of course. The defense industry in every nation needs an enemy. The Iranians talk shit about the Israelis so they can get money for fake planes. The Israelis talk shit about the Palestinians so they can get money for real ones and now that we are the sole superpower we have to make due with terrorism to spend billions on weapons designed to fight soviets.
These are all real threats, just blown way out of proportion and handled the wrong way to ensure maximum expenditure.
Yeah, a lot of folks will do what I do. The PS3 coming out meant I had a chance to get PS2 games cheap. I must have 100 of them now. The PS4 coming out should do the same thing to the PS3. The best time to own a console is right at the end of its life. Largest library, lowest cost games, cheap to replace if the unit dies and all the known bugs worked out.
They are not in cahoots, they are competing. The first one to introduce such a system is taking a huge risk. If their competitor has any brains at all it would be the time to start advertising that you do not do that.
Even if you never buy a used game you likely rent games or have people over who bring a game with them. Me and my brother trade games via the mail for instance. No money changes hands.
PS4 not playing used games when Xbox720 does would mean the end of Sony having a console.
I am part of a DINK which makes more than twice the median family income, we still will not buy full priced games more than once a year. That is for christmas and only if someone requested such a thing. $60 for a video game is nuts. Don't tell me that there is a 100 hours of gameplay and it's only $0.60 an hour, I don't have 100 hours to waste on a damn video game. Hell, I normally have a stack of bargin bin AAA games that are a couple years old I am still working on.
I understand that those with less income may actually be ok with paying more for what is for them cheap entertainment. For me it can well be very expensive entertainment if I never play more than 10 minutes of the thing.
Sony can set any standards they like on their console and often do. They have all kinds of weird ones done just for marketing or to keep the button layout fairly standard, they could easily require no onetime use codes for game content.
The honest way to do what you are talking about is to reduce the game price by $10 and move that stuff into a $10 DLC. That way everyone knows up front what they are getting into.
The OS is pointless on pretty much all laptops. I will be removing Windows, OSX or Chrome, so it does not matter to me.
Name one laptop as nice for half the cost. The next nicest laptop I can find is a mac pro retina. Build quality is another thing I am willing to pay for.
Bullshit, because what really happens is he does the test, does the unneeded prostate surgery on a 65 year old and then when the patient dies on the table nothing happens to the DR. He goes on to perform more unneeded tests and surgeries to get his cut.
Do you know how rare a DR is that will even suggest maybe just letting nature takes its course is the best?
Slashdot Mirror
I really don't care about typical users. They are fine with DRM and being ripped off.
Because the emulator can upscale to 1080p, which even a WiiU will not do. It also can be used 20 years from now when the Wiis are harder to find.
That costs a lot more to run than a natural gas furnace.
Who would want to work for that bureaucratic nightmare?
If it takes two weeks to get a contract fixed, everything is going to be red tape, politics and BS.
The law does not like the way I play DVDs either. So we don't always see eye to eye.
NES dumpers used to be far more common, you can still find designs to make your own out there.
If I build a PC for someone and show them how to play DVDs the way I do I would probably be breaking the same or similar laws.
You can dump a wii game using a hacked wii.

I feel no need to have my parentage questioned or to hear homophobic racist remarks made about my mother.

It also seems to be enough to make sure I will never buy that console.
There have been enough games made that I never need to buy new ones and can still play until I die.

Anyone who honestly says stuff like that should get a swift kick in the balls.

It only took a fucking decade. For most of that decade all you could get is less pixels.

For me it would be which ever is easier to install linux on. I don't think the OS is that inferior OSX sucks pretty bad for me.
How many gun owners let other people use their guns?
I have let my father and brother use my guns. That is it. The entire times they were in my presence. Wifi I have let everyone who visits my house use.
It should not be a problem. I have a very similar built in intel card driving a 1366x768 and a 1920x1080 screen at the same time.
