Why does it have to look spectacular? I want game play and I want it too look like a game, if I wanted to see spectacular real life Id take up paint ball or car racing or pull out a gun and start shooting people.
>I love retro games. I just don't see how any games on those systems can be substituted for modern online multiplayer games.
It all depends on what you get out of it. I personally never liked 3d multi player games so no loss to me even my son who is 13 loves old school games. YES he does like to play multi player games BUT the games he spends most time on are basic games. I prefer a game to look like a game and not real life, so I can immerse myself into the "fake game" world.
Well that's one way to kill the first sale doctrine or second hand market. Its a service and in the TOS "No reselling allowed" Luckily for me between my NES/SNES/N64/GameCube/Sega Master/TG16/Jaguar/Dreamcast/Saturn there's enough games out there that I never have to bother with buying/supporting anything as a service for the rest of my life.
I sure as hell feel good and I feel even better buying DVD for $2 at pawnshops. If they can't give me access to a non DRM download I won't support them. Just in case you were thinking of asking, yes if I could copy a car for free I would...
I have no problem with paying. For example I found this band/album to be the best EM album I have heard in ages so I sent them $5 just like several artists and OSS projects that made their "great" works available at fair prices.
It doesn't matter. This should have never been done and it was it shows us what the gov is really about which is they can't be trusted to govern Canada in the best interest of Canadians. Look at the opposition to bill C-11, C-30 and how the gov just doesn't give a flying fuck about the consequences of these bills.
A gov official named Vic Toews calling Canadians opposed to the bill paedophile sympathisers has no respect for Canadian citizens.
Since no one has gone to jail or even reprimanded for the 301 list bullshit revealed by the wikileaks cables last year don't expect anything to happen here. The Conservative party under Harper is a criminal organisation dedicated to eliminating democracy and our freedom in Canada. These are hardcore religious freaks hell bent on showing their views onto Canadians.
I posted this on here several times. Really the only thing to do is to pick up our illegal guns and stand up. Yes guns, no one will stop buying/consuming commercial media to stop the money flow, so what else is left? Burn down radio/tv/music stores?
>Shows that the internet as it is, is never really anonymous.
Umm no it shows that social media "savvy" people are retards, Who the hell would follow a link sent to an email address when they are shit disturbing with that address.
>Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is like selling 5,000 tickets to a show that can only host a thousand people, and blaming the people who complain about not getting what the paid for.
I think this is like selling 5000 tickets to an all you can eat buffet and when you realise all those 5000 people are obese and are about to eat you alive you narrow down the door so only the skinniest people can get it on at a time. Also once in a while you get someone stuck in the door which gives your cook some extra time to cook up new food and get closer to business closing hours. THEN you call all those people fat pigs and blame their weight for you not being able to supply the amount of food that was needed.
that they could not deliver on. They sold more smart-phones then their system could handle even with overselling already calculated into the business model.
Unlimited - Last time I checked selling me a product that is unlimited and then reducing my unlimitidness is bait and switch.
Now maybe they're still looking at the Internet salesman book from the late 90's where Unlimited was referred to Unlimited access to the network not unlimited usage of the network.
>but if you can't see that iTunes totally changed how a huge number of people get and access their music, it's probably because you refuse to.
Not sure where you grew up but even in my semi secluded city there was a lot of music discovery and trading though cassette tapes. Usually with in days everyone in my school had a tape copy of any new album that was released. The only thing that iTunes changes was you could spend your money from a chair in front of your computer. but long before that there was tons of trading by even non "geeks" through Napster and ftp. Ah yah good times with WarFTP http://www.warftp.org/ and shares.
>The iPod also has made it easier for people to have all of their favorites at their fingertips. Before that there were some crappy, poorly designed mp3 players by creative and that's about it. Your other option before ipod were walkman style cassette players.
Ummm you missed portable cd players which I've used since 1992. Tape players were already on way out but they chugged along the portable cd players untill cd burners were affordable.
With the US economy going from manufacturing to consuming and litigating its in the best interest of the US law to set precedents so that US companies can win cases easily.

Tape > DVD = next generation
DVD > Blu Ray = money grab
I'd rather have it in a downloadable file form but piratebay beat them to it.
Asus O!play + Multiuple HD + torrents = sorry don't want your disks any more I'd rather pirate until you get your head out of your ass.
DS9 season 6 only few more hours to download finish......

Look a child could be hurt. Won't someone think of the children?
is for every UK citizen to become friends on every "watched" social media channel/site. Give the gov that they want, that is everyone is a suspect.
so when they get sued the lawyers will request the real copies from Heartland. So Heartland will commit suicide.
Fuck the corporations if you find a vulnerability, hide your track and just let it out into the wild.

No one put a gun to their head and told them to be a doctor. Not the patients/customers problem the doctor is in debt.
Wait they're kicking someone when they are broke and homeless?

Seems they get no love for introducing music and bedroom radio stations at your finger tips to the masses.
