The shareholders of Oracle/Sun would lynch the executives for pulling out of the biggest market place in the world massively damaging their own business.
Shareholders don't tend to approve of actions that will destroy the companies profits overnight
I agree, the only people who are really gonna give a damn about it now are us hardcore gamers who really know where to find this information anyway without some trade show.
The way they have done it has really knocked all the excitement out of the event, usualy when E3 comes around I warn all my flatmates that im gonna be downloading a shit load of stuff over the course of the week so the net connection is gonna be slow. Seen no real need to do so this year as it all seems a bit meh
"CS: Squad-based, limited time per match. Damage is realistic (relatively speaking) so teamwork, strategy (where to go, what your weapon's shot pattern is, etc), and good control are all vital to success. I suck at it, so I should know."
I for one welcome our immortal fearless mice overlords and would like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality i can help gathet others to toil in there underground helium mines
while i can understand things like the CELL architecture making his life more difficult i think its a bit stupid to slam the idea all together because processor architecture has to progress at some point and should be encouraged
what hes saying atm is its bad that sony are using a new and possibly better architecture just because no one else is
i kinda disagree on companies not being able to support most of europe if they went to linux
while there would no dout be a period of lack of support you can bet that if that huge market opened up every company with even an ounce of linux knowledge would gear up to grab as much of that pie as they could
IBM would have a field day as they already have a large linux services business and others such as HP and Dell would join in if they had any sense
its a horrible programming language really but for a begining its great because there is a lot of pre made stuff in it so if you wanna be able to knock somthing up quickly its excelent
i managed to put together a simple 2D racing game in about a month soon after i started programming
Legislating computer games means parents have to spend less time with there kids and so can spend more time doing important activities like drinknig beer and watching TV
iv been playing since pre release (beta tester) and the game has improved
bugs have been fixed but its still a pretty buggy game though thankfully the expansion has helped performance quite significantly
the new content is pretty interesting with powerful guilds being able to dominate entire portions of the map and fight over resource mines is another fun recent addition
overall its a lot better than it was but still has the same overall problem in that its a brilliant idea but badly implimented but still worth it if you are a PvPer since there is simply no other MMORPG that can even compete with SBs PvP

Action Quake 2 did this all before CS.
This would be followed shortly by whoever decided to do this being lynched by MS shareholders
There is no laughter track, its filmed infront of an audiance.
You know that even if software patents dont exist in Europe that European companies can patent as much as they like in america right?
Not having software patents in Europe has 0 impact on European ability to play the patent game in America
No they have been given a deadline
In 5 weeks the fines will begin unless MS comply

Thats entirely the point
as a consumer i cannot choose what i use
As much as i would like to use Linux exclusivly the fact i am a gamer stops me doing this at the moment due to microsofts monopoly
Im a D&D player and i admit im weird :)
My dreams of joining the IDF are shattered!
*crys*
because they want to bring there music collection into work and listen to it
and i dont think the sys admins would appreciate people filling the hard drives with mp3s
Bloodlines uses an early version of the source engine
wouldnt exactly be fair to use it in a comparison

Europe has enough nukes to flaten america and america has enough nukes to flaten europe

It is
the real name for it is "Big Fucking Gun"
they changed it for the movie
they once made a limited edition book which the publisher never payed them for
I disagree
the original Half Life was amazing and would of been remembered as a classic without mods
what mods have done is made it stay popular to this day rather than just being remembered
