  1. Re:90% of everything is trash? on Coming Soon, Shorter Video Games · · Score: 2

    New Vegas pissed me off. It uses a similar model, but the half the world map has been reserved for DLC. Then why the fuck is the game not cheaper?

    I am not buying any of the DLC, I will get the GOTY edition for $20.

  2. Re:FRIST POAST on Coming Soon, Shorter Video Games · · Score: 1

    I think what you mean is the movies are a total ripoff and nothing should be priced that badly.

    I might pay $10 for 10 hours, but that would be about it.

    So it is really long tech demo, ok.

    DOOM3 was not a great game, it was a good game using an engine that was at the time hugely impressive. I expect the same thing made with Rage.

    Bethesda will be using it. They make some games like Elder Scrolls and a little thing called Fallout.

    Considering IdTech 4 the previous engine beats Source, I am going to call Troll on you.

    Might not be the most widely used, but Id engines see a good bit of use. Prey and Prey 2 are both DOOM3/QUAKE4(IdTech4) engine based

    This is a Tech Demo for the engine. Just like DOOM3 was. Id does not really make amazing games. They make amazing engines and decent games as tech demos for the engines.

    Cheap storage I guess. Such a small quantity is not really going to have much smell. Either this guy was smoking dope in the car or the cop lied about the smell. Just like he claimed 36 in a 30 was a "high rate of speed".

    Considering the "Keep government out of my medicare" or some such silliness I see these folks saying I bet their insurance is state provided.

    Below is an example of this before you say I made that up.
    âoeIf you like the Post Office and the Department of Motor Vehicles and you think theyâ(TM)re run well, just wait till you see Medicare, Medicaid and health care done by the government.â â"Arthur Laffer on CNN

    ERs one of the the most expensive ways to provide care, to make them "free" without doing the same for any cheaper method of care is idiocy. I for one would rather spend my tax dollars on getting these people cheaper care.

    This is pretty common. The woman who wrote all those harry potter books did it on the dole. When she got her payout she ran for the US to prevent having to pay the UK tax rates that pay for things like the dole.

    Someone who invests in a thing without knowing all about it, without fully evaluating exactly what risk they are taking, is not a victim. They are consciously making a poor, risky decision. When they do this and lose their shirts you call them "victims". That's some kind of emotional sensation that sounds somewhat reasonable but does not stand up to examination.

    They are victims if they no know better. Is it fair to steal candy from a baby? To rob the elderly because they are too weak to protect themselves?

    Generally, honest investment plans are done in the open. They do not fear a permanent record. They are prepared to answer any negative complaints and, if valid, they are also prepared to make it right. Honest investments also tend not to promise exceedingly large returns for little or no work. What kind of person really needs to have this explained to them as though it were new, mysterious information?

    Idiots, and guess what? The world is full of them.

    I know this, you know this, but everyday people like this take the money of people who don't. In the real world they often exploit the old and uneducated. We can either say it is ok for you to cheat your fellow man or we can say that it is not. I know where I stand.
