1) This "story" is really OLD. It did the rounds on the Internet MONTHS ago.

You only think that the PS2 graphics are just as good as the Wii graphics because so many Wii games at this point are ports from PS2, or worse, PSP. Otherwise, I agree completely. PS2 is still a great system with a ton of great games, especially if you're just getting one now. It's pretty hard to beat the huge number of quality games that you can get in the $10-20 bin.
Not everyone wants to watch movies on their computer or depend on their Internet connection to do so. Even if there were perfect streaming of movies that looked and sounded identical to a DVD that would not kill off physical disc rentals. Not sure what fantasy land you guys live in that you think this would be the case.
Isn't the dimwit market what apple has always aimed for? Isn't that the rational behind dumbing down the interface so that everyone has to use the computer as if they had the knowledge of a 50-year-old who had never even used a typewriter before?
It's the politicians and the idiots who vote for them when they behave this way who aren't doing anyone any favors. Censorship of this sort is completely childish. It's time to grow up, bitches!
What does the summary mean by "begrudgingly?" Maybe it doesn't mean what they think it means, because giving halo (any of them) a 10 is pretty fucking lax if you ask me.
Game reviews should go the way of Siskel & Ebert. Tell us if it's good and worth the money and time, good and not worth the money and/or time, or if it's crap. Sure the numerical ratings feed the flame wars (and thus the ad machine) but it isn't really helpful. It also starts a war of escalation that leads to some pretty wacky rationalizations for why a game of middling quality receives a 7-7.5 on a scale of 10 and why the ratings below 5 are reserved for making a particularly harsh point about a game that is so crappy it should probably have never even been greenlit in the first place.
Lucky, mine has been every second or third day for the last month, though in the same time period (assuming that you're west coast also). I'd assumed they had a deal with yahoo or microsoft to fuck up the connections to google and drive search users to those sites. Fuck I hate comcast!
How's that? A reasonable person should have no more trouble making fun of the absurdities of islam (that would be everything about it) as the absurdities of christianity (also all of it).
Ridiculous people deserve ridicule, but that doesn't mean you have to ridicule all of them all of the time. It'd take too long anyway.
Now if it'd been an unfunny joke about islam, then you'd know he was a republican.
I'll take my +1 flamebait and/or troll from the religofascists now, if you don't mind.
They should have just changed it to Petty Larseny Scratchy or something. BTW, did they change it or just pull it? Did anyone read the article like a little baby to find out?
Most of the money from game magazines comes in the form of advertising revenue, not subscription fees. They're women's magazines for teenage boys. I'm sure any serious publisher would much rather convince advertisers that each of their copies is read by four people (and thus worth 4*$ to advertise in) than quadruple their subscriber base, requiring them to push more dead trees and pay postage to mail them out.
No, it's more like the engine designers having trouble finding things to improve and then a bunch of whining bitches coming in and complaining that those engineers aren't working on the upholstery for the seats or the body of the car or whatever.

Don't forget that this is the same thing that has been causing problems with Google for a lot of us who are stuck on comcast's crap service.
So your argument is that he should get a pass because "everyone else does it, too"?
Not enough money in the world to go me to use ME.
Of course the parent is right. It's impossible to visit a .co.uk domain from any other country!

Probably because you went into shock as your blood-dupe level dropped and you needed another hit.
No, these guys are just trying to ruin your childhood all over again. Don't listen to those bad men!

If the King's English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it should be good enough for anyone!
The way things have been going the last 6 or 7 years I don't really want the Defense Department muddling around in the Defense Department either.
Or a way to upgrade Zonk's memory for dupes!
Microsoft may call in all their patents and make half of Gnome illegal in the US.
We can only hope.
PROTIP: Buy hardware that works with your operating system. There are PLENTY of printers that work great with Linux.
If you can't find one with the quality and price that you're looking for you are doing something seriously wrong.

Maybe that game is just poorly programmed? I've never had stability problems with Nvidia binary drivers either.
