Seriously, why is it every time we get a console FPS - which routinely outsell the best PC FPS games, some wanker gets on about how he dislikes the game without a keyboard and a mouse on his PC where the graphics card costs more than an entire 360.
Shut up already. Not helpful or relevant. -1 whining bitch.
Besides, you can plug a keyboard and a mouse right into the 360.
I reflect your sentiment. There are a LOT of activities persued by amateuers - distance running, triathlon, etc. - people who will never make a dime off of it but wind up spending lots to persue the sport. Many of them hire coaches to get the most out of their experience and interest.
1) After-market harddrives. Pretty cheap from 3rd parties.
2) There is currently a device that slides between an Xbox HD and the Xbox that allows you to use storage on your PC. Why not a device that lets you share your PC's HD to begin with from a 3rd party as well.
All XBs actaully will stream music from your XP PC's HD (and XP Media Center will stream video). Maybe just let you use storage space on your PC directly with a simple software update from MS.
I've heard this argument before, but there are places in New York and other large metropolises that are just as packed as some of less dense Asian cities and even they don't have bandwidth to compare.
If you want to bike competitivly and leverage technology, you need to learn to swim and run, too, because it's traithlon (USAT) that lets you do pretty much anything.
So basically, they force riders to use all leg muscles and keep them from lifting one leg with the other, wasting energy. Simple, but very effective. It's a nice concept, and I'd love to get a pair even for my commute, but being a niche product they are rather expensive...
I'll be getting a set for _training_ but a differnet concept - rotor cranks - for racing (maybe). Nobody races with powercranks on.
If you want the benefit on the cheap, just snap out of your pedal and do one-leggeds. They are VERY HARD at first but you will notice, over time, you get better.
I usually do them in the middle of an indoor trainer class in sets - 90 seconds on each leg, alternating for 20 minutes.
I very much appreciated the BOC tune during the abduction (Xbox 360 Demo version here). Suggested to me that the devs were pretty cool folks who know that we appreciate a nice touch like that. It really added to the moment.
There were some modded scenarios that you could download that would help prompt you with your build order to show you the ways to get things done faster.
For most games, there really isn't a substitute for just playing or just playing with others. Most AI these days for FPSs feature increasing difficulty of bots that you can train against.
The more chess-like the game, the more coaching might help.
Wow. You must be joking. You have a total of five grammar mistakes and five misspelled words in your last two posts. Shall we review them?
Bad Grammar:
You started three sentences with the word "And." That would definitely have knocked you down to no better than a 'C' in my American public high school.
The word is not "no-one", it's "no one."
Your capitalization is incorrect; the term is "Basic English."
Misspelled Words
"dosen't"
"goddamnit"
lacklustre (do we cut you slack for using a foreign spelling? NO!)
keypresses
optimisation (Foreign spelling)
Ok - please bitch about me calling out your foreign spellings. Nevertheless, you did blow some no matter where you are from. Point is, to get so insulting about someone else botching up and then doing the same yourself IN THE PROCESS... we know why you hide behind the AC username.
Not in the US. They typically result in the party that is least like them being elected.
This is best witnessed by the Bull Moose Republicans and Perot.
In fact, in the US, the only third parties that ever got any significant vote counts were not parties about ideas but driven by charismatics whose egos were too big to work within the current system and whose parties went by the wayside when they did.
Someone doesn't understand how politics work in this country. The role that parliamentarians have in other governments is actually devolved to the individual voters in this country. We, individually, determine who the actual leaders are rather than voting for a party who may or may not win a majority and then negotiates without consulting the voters on what will constitute a government.
As such, the Pirate party will, if it gets anywhere (and it won't) would just suck off energy from the Democrat party.
If they were wise, which they are not, they would recognize the way to have their voice heard and actually get stuff done is to act as a caucus within one of the two established parties.
Years and years ago the presidential campaign of Pat Robertson did the same thing. After LOSING, they formed an organization known as the Christian Coalition. They decided not to form their own political party but to ingrain themselves and take over the Republican party from the ground up. They were largely successful. The Christian Coalition on the national level is just a shel but their mission has largely been accomplished and they, in many cases, _are_ the Republican Party.
The Democrat party can be taken over (or at least heavily influenced) in the same way by an organized group - but it seems the Pirate Party is not it.

....'a bit', eh? How about complicated^complicated?
Nonesense.
Ah - but in Eve they aren't farming ISK, they are farming minerals. Minerals = currency. It's all the same and has the same effect as in WOW.

This is a good starting point: Looky here
Studios do not control how many screens it shows on. Face it - the movie sucked. Never saw Firefly, am a big BSG fan. Serenety blew. Hard.

Actually, yeah, we do. One example: Verizon FIOS.
Because that's goddamn cheating. You gotta stand on your own. What an assinine criticism. Die in a fire. Please.

If not Dell, then who?
Pendantacism is only effective if you are actually pendantic, and your math didn't add up.
See here.
Incorrect. The success of an add is if the sum is equal to the numbers you are adding together.
Damn typical / herd. The FIRST post on this story is someone declaring they would not buy it because of rootkits.
Ah - then you would be correct. As far as we know, just the padwan Luke and Master Yoda.

Luke was not a Padawan until IV, and there was another Jedi: Obi-Wan.
I'm really not much of a nerd. Please tell me I am wrong and don't know what I am talking about.
