seriously, tie-in novel = video game story telling??? That is why portal is a "leap" because it is not the typical "read this novel (or scrolling text on screen), watch this cinematic, jump through this hoop" that everyone is so sick of.
The US is still in the 19th century as far as rail travel goes compared to the rest of the world. Maybe this will help us realize that there are other options.

I guess we weren't playing the same game? Did you bring the blue sparks? 3rd best selling game for gamecube and a high rank even on metacritic.
Is that intended to mean that Mario Kart appeals to the hardcore crowd?
Wow. If I had to pick 1 SNES, 1 N64 and 1 GameCube game that were for the hardcore crowd, the answer to all 3 would be Mario Kart.
The difference between that and other hardcore titles is that Nintendo has actually figured out how to make games appeal to both the hardcore crowd and the mainstream one. If you don't think they are hardcore, you have likely never REALLY played them.
At which point we find out what appalling projects the even younger have in mind...
Then we will die while still questioning why dudes are sagging their tight girl pants and listening to Emo while they wear their hat sideways in such a way that their entire face is covered by their awkwardly chopped hair.
It seems like most (all?) heat sinks can transmit heat back (or remove heat by being too cold).
It seems like haveing a slug on your head that could directly cool/heat your brain accidentally according to weather/environmental factors would be dangerous and scary... or at the least hard to manage.
The law says that you cant discriminate against anyone because of their age... as long as they are over 40.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ( ADEA ) protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age
I love the hard lower limit, it would be a shame to protect all people equally.
IMO it should eb ruled unconstitutional, but of course nobody under 40 votes, so that will never happen.
Verichat by a company called "intellisync". The only instant messenger program that ever worked worth a damn on my Treo 650. I have seriously thought about switching devices now that verichat does not work anymore (they killed the app completly even for people who purchased it previously).
Honestly I don't see it as a nokia problem, but a WTF is the problem that nobody else can make an instant messenger that actually WORKS.
I know I know I should write it myself, but I have a million excuses.
for now I use IM+ which sucks the butt, but it is better than nothing, and since IM is the only thing I use my stupid phone for, I can't just "do without"
I have a house in Runescape(started in 1999, java/cross platform implementation pay version is $5/mo) with my own dungeon... It is instance housing, not world housing though (you have to go to your house through a portal, and friends can come in), so it has its weak points. Just saying Player owned housing is not unheard of.
Also there are just not very many rares in runescape, it is largely about community and skill building, not l3wt collecting.
I'll bite and go one step further...
Ratings systems are for lazy parents.
My son, who happens to love video games is not yet 3 years old. I could not give 2 shits about what the rating says, he is disturbed by some "child friendly" content, and not disturbed by some "Teen to adult" content. They don't know my kid, they don't know my morals, they are doing their best to convey some sort of moral average. Content is subjective. What is right for my kid is not right for other kids, the only I can actually regulate what he sees, and how he reacts to it is to *gasp* be involved in his daily life. Of course it is easy for me because I love games so I am automatically involved there, but I have watched a lot of shows that I hate and read a lot of books that are annoying, because I am a dedicated parent.
I'm not sure I have a solution to the problem, but a ratings system will be about as effective as telling parents they need to try harder. Ratings systems are an attempt to qantify a subjective concept of "morality" which is impossible.
Jack Thompson is the greatest asset we have in our fight to keep video games from being villified and banned/censored.
The primary spokesperson of the anti-video game movement is clearly a psychopath. Completly batshit crazy. If he was not crazy, and used logical (sounding) conclusions and appealed to reasonable or religious sensibilities he would be MUCH more dangerous to free speech than he is.
So we MUST give him lipservice, we must work to keep his illegal, crazy shenanagins in the news, because as long is he is their front-man, we will always win.
Walmart's shelves are too close together so they can fit more stuff in the stores... because of that they deal with a lot of broken merchendise. Does this mean their business model is broken?
no, it just means that their business model plans on some loss.
there was an excellent Duke Nukem3d user map of disney land, with many many added sprites and tiles. The haunted mansion was very true to the park, and in all it was a great map

It was accurate an astonishing 1 in every 165 million times. I used a brute force decryption strategy.

works for you and works for the idiot who can't use a command prompt are 2 distinct things. Closed crap sucks, but most users suck more.

When the young are old and the old are dead, our battle will be won.
generational problems will always eventually see the young as the victor.
Sell 'em something else, then swap jebus at the last possible second.
Or just plain ole "Bait and switch" if you like.
I think that would be breaking the 4th wall... which is the whole reason for the painting in the first place.
Everyone knows they are not playable till ya paint 'em.

it was a joke because I said "phallus", it was a funny joke because it is true. It is a dead joke because it required too much explaining ;)

yes it is available for laptops and it is a hardware solution that does not require the laptop to be on to function.

But what if you parody someone who is already a parody of himself. The deepness is as unlimited as the psychosis.
Opinions have no place in law, subjective terms have no place in law. Or didn't they learn from the Larry flint "obscenity" trials.
I am just glad that the morality police aren't very intellegent. I fear the day when they are able to put 3 words together.
