  1. Re:So wait. on Manhunt 2 Ban Fallout, Game Rated AO By ESRB · · Score: 1
  2. In comparison... on English Premier Football League Sues YouTube · · Score: 3, Informative

    The NHL has its own channel on youtube, showing highlights of games, the top plays of the week and so forth.

    There are lots of highlight videos from other sources as well, but no/ very few full games like there are for the premiership. Is there a link? Quite probably - why sit through a low-quality version of the full game when you can just as easily see all the interesting parts in the same quality much quicker?

    If memory serves, the Gamecube launched on mainly first-party titles, and it did pretty well.

    In the UK at least (I don't know about anywhere else), the GameCube was the first Nintendo console to have a third-party title as its best seller at launch (Rogue Leader). It was also, I believe, the first Nintendo console to not have a Mario game at launch.

    Certainly today, they don't seem to bother - they simply assume every household in the country has a TV, then start harrassing any households without a license.
    "Harrase" being the appropriate word.
    Every six months or so comes the letter informing me that I face a fine of up to £1,000 (at least, it was last time I read one of them), or the less common but more amusing house call. More amusing because I am more than happy to let the guy into the flat and have him look around to his heart's content searching for the non-existant TV. I almost feel bad watching the confusion and embarrasment spread across their face when they realise that I don't own one.

    Then they launch the "local crackdowns" featuring big posters saying '5 homes on Random Street do not own a TV license. TV detector vans are in this area.' I know that at least 1 of those homes doesn't need one, but I don't want to get in the way of a snappy slogan, especially when it is technically correct (just not the way that they want it to be).
