Saddam invaded Kuwait and made lame attempt to explain his position on annexing it (it was always part of Iraq, etc). He started lining up armor and troops as though seriously considering doing the exact same thing across Saudi Arabia's northern border.
Sort of right. But xbox is more about expanding the microsoft monopoly into the living room that cutting off Sony. It is very much offensive rather than defensive.
If they'd built it right it would have cost them a lot more money. If they are actually able to manufacture them below the retail cost it is only because they have such shoddy construction.
I think you're a little confused by living in Europe and thinking that we have got anything decent in America. The best things we've ever gotten out of "MyNintendo" (that's the bullshit we get here) is a puffy sticker set to cover the GameCube and (iirc) a Metroid Prime demo disc or something. At least they promise you guys something decent, we don't even have points over here. Just once in a while you can register a game and get some little thing with it. Like the Wii remote keychain, but who wants to buy big brain academy?
So join me in boycotting Mario Galaxy until we get some good swag for doing so. Really, how hard would it be to give us some free Virtual Console downloads or something for buying games?!?! Geez, I bought a ton of games for GameCube and all I ever got was the Zelda collector's disc, and not even the cool one with the NES games.
Friendcodes are stupid. A solid online experience isn't *that* hard, especially when you have solid examples to reference.
Yeah, no kidding. Especially when it's being done ON YOUR SYSTEM as EA is doing by hosting online play through their own servers and bypassing the friend codes all together.
It's not that hard, and when your systems are practically printing money, you would think issues like this would get resolved.
I would actually think that they'd keep doing what they're doing in that situation. It's clearly not working that hard against them, so from a corporate standpoint that's working for them. Sure these things are stupid, and should have been included, but unless everyone stops buying them I doubt you'll find a huge change in policy over at Nintendo any time soon.
Only 5.7% never has been and never will be a controlling interest. They NEVER "controlled" Trolltech, which is exactly what the original post was claiming. The truth is waiting for your apology.
Try -1 flamebait, -1 troll, -2 stupid. Now stop whining and go back to blowing bill gates or steve jobs or whoever's nuts it is you were sucking on last.
The iphone seems pretty weak to me, whether you're a "geek" or not. The only person other than a complete apple fanboy who I could see wanting it is an idiot (you seem to be one) who thinks that being able to say "it runs *nix" is in any way a measure of quality. By any other measure it's just an over-priced piece of crap with a shitty interface on a crappy network.
N come mod me troll or flamebait because you know I'm right, apple fanboy bitches.
The animosity is because the gimp developers continuously deliver a sub-par paint package for no apparent reason other than to do so. But they are also the only game in town for general purpose photopaint on Linux because everyone else steers clear because the gimp is already established in that category.
Or, iirc, it is because the gimp developers were too stupid and arrogant to take contributions from CinePaint when they added support for greater than 8bpp images. Of course, this is the story of gimp. It is constantly held back by developers who either don't know how to do it right, refuse for no reason to do it right, or think that doing things wrong is the best way to go about things.
I run Linux, what makes you think I'd even consider buying an xbox regardless of how sweet FIFA is on it? Even if I were, I don't see how anyone could realistically recommend dropping the kind of cash that either a 360 or PS3 goes for to play at most a handful of games. I could probably get a PC that runs games in windows decently for half the price of a PS3 and wouldn't constantly be pissed off that they pulled the Emotion Engine from the PS3.
I'd mostly heard, without looking around very much, that it didn't run at all. Looks like you might be right. Any idea how well this runs on a 2.2Ghz AthlonXP with a gig of RAM and an NVidia 5900xt?
So what you're saying is that anyone paying that tax is legally allowed to copy any music, regardless of who holds the copyright to the record, as many times as they wish and distribute it to as many people as they wish? Because I'm pretty sure that's not how it works and I'm not sure where you would have gotten the idea that it is, even in the frozen hippyland to the north.
With a government as shitty as ours has become over the last 6 years there is a whole lot for which to blame this government. Maybe if "little faggot naysayers" like you spent a little more time thinking and less whining about other people who do think we wouldn't have so many of these problems.
Sure is, for a coward and moron such as yourself. You must make your teddy bear collection in your mom's basement tremble in fear with anonymous threats like that. Not everyone outside is a coward like you, buddy. Quite a few of us would break you down if you even thought that kind of thing in "real life."
So take your ignorance, stupidity, and cowardice back downstairs and ask your mom if she'll make you some tea for that tea party you have to attend with Mr. Bear. Don't forget to put on your very best dress, you know how he likes you in pink.

An excellent point, if only it weren't all lies.
A lot more than half of the population believes in bullshit like ghosts, son. Most of them just call it a "soul."
GP is an idiot though, so I guess we can agree on that.

The end of the phenomenon of endless fanboyism over a mediocre game? Fuck, if a movie is what it takes get that shit out tomorrow!
Not that I'd endorse what the GP said, but how is this all that different from what we have now?

Did I hurt your feelings with simple math, or just your brain?

Zonk: Australian for "DUPE!"
Don't you know that Google and apple have a deal? Why do you think they changed Personalized Google (or wtf it was called) to "iGoogle"?

Complete? I can't even play it! I run Linux, you insensitive clod!
If it isn't opened there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
