It's nice to see SOE has gotten their act together. A lot of other MMORPGs have been nearly destroyed by this kind of crap with devs oblivious to the problem. It's kind of like having an active "Total Information Awareness" within an MMORPG.
Maybe because SOE gets some of the take on the exchange was motivating, but still, it's nice to know that they have the tools to prevent this from happening again.
All the differenc a little 'i' can make. If they were simply 'books,' the only way those rioters have showed up that day was if that's where they had to pick up their welfare check.
It's probably more a matter of changing the culture than an IQ pill. It's also important to note that in your statistics, you aren't saying that the relationship between race and IQ is causal, just that it is circumstantial.
Check the average IQ of the black child who was adopted by a married hetero white couple, or a black child whose family moved into a non-ghetto suburban neighborhood.
Conversly, look at whites from really dirt poor areas and you will similarly see a lower IQ.
Ok, joking. Seriously, he had other health problems for this to have happened and pushed him over the edge. He could have been at the office doing a 50 hour shift or even competing in military training. Somehow there is an unspoken link in the article suggesting that the game killed him.
My guess is it was either Lineage, or a map-hacked version of StarCraft.
to question the 'logic' of a comedy piece. PWOT is a comedy website. Admittedly some of it's stuff can be serious, but this article is clearly a joke. The charts are jokes. The headlines are jokes.
So that's where they got the name. $300 console + $60 for a game.
Really, though, that a game is now $60 (and that's a primo game - expect many to go for far less - half the new games out this month for Xbox are going for less than $50) is hardly keeping with inflation. I remember many first rate NES games going for $50 back in the 1980s!!!
Orwell was a contradictory tard as are both you and the grandparent who refered to him as a "libertarian Marxist." The only fiction writer who imbuse their work with philosophy/political advocacy that is work reading is Ayn Rand.
Still, Orwell was a better writer than one of his equally popularized contemporaries, Steinback.
And the problem isn't so much the random user moderators with their 5 points or whatever, but the permanent mods who go to posts you make 5 days ago and hit them with -1 or whatever. This is the reason that Plato's Republic would fail.
It's not that devs don't want to put forth the effort, it's that the effort can't equal a result that you seek. What you really need is a human DM running things, and the AI isn't there. So you get a cookie-cutter situation that lacks the customization that a DM can give.
It's a pretty simple process and I've done it reapeatedly. Get a 2 month free trail. Cancel it before the 2 months are up. Get another - use the same credit card and address - just gotta use a new Live ID.
Pretty simple - even for a retard from Canada such as yourself.
The number should not be confused with "Concurrent paying subscribers as of right now."
MS has been giving away free 2 month trials away with games like candy. I originally had a subscription, canceled it a while back, and now have a free two month trial that I will replace with another free two month trial.
You would be well within your right to criticize the Mayor of London for he is an idiot.
And if the critic finds things boring, it's his own fault for paying attention to things that bore him - or maybe video games have so atrophed his attention that everything short of internet pr0n and Warioware bores him.
It's also more examples of stupid geeks whining about things and trying to instill meaning in their lives (sorta like whining about the Patriot Act) with no sense of context or even a basis in reality. Where is the whining about movie theatre ratings? The only point is that stores can't sell to kids without parental permission. Big deal.
Name one right that you've lost or one right that someone you know lost? What freedom have you lost?
The only freedoms I see at stake are ones that you threaten - namely the freedom to keep what I earn and make and my ability to set the terms of use for what I create.
If you talk to any GC dude about what is great about GC, they love to mention RE 0.
But since this is going to be on the 360 and PS3, but NOT the Revolution, is that not a sign that Revolution is even further behind in development than you would otherwise think?
Also looks good for Xbox360 - there have been RE games for PC, DC, Saturn, PS, PS2, N64, and even Mobile platforms, but this would be the first for Xbox.
Yeah, I figure most people wouldn't mind if it was just a monthly fee OR just an upfront price. It really comes down to how much you want to pay for the game. If you ammortize it down from a perpetuity, you are really paying about $600 - that's the number to look at regardless of the upfront/sub costs.
If only the upfront cost covered the equivilent amount of playtime ($10 fee and the $50 box got you 5 months, etc.)...

It may be more like console games in terms of quality as MS released a unified SDK for Xbox 360 and for PC.

Account deficits are a sign of financial health. Budget deficits are not. Chinese get $ and buy either US businesses, property, or debt.
But the living beyond your means thing - yeah, that's messed up on a personal level.

Small correction - HL1 was not released for Xbox (although Counterstrike, possible a version identical to source, was).
So, sphincter breath, are you going to sign up to get me a FREE PSP?

Cause' they are phonetically the same. And the 'shii' thing is not as cool looking.

You mean to say, on the SAME NASCAR cars.

I don't think so - the time for maturity is over.

I think you are right - I got them confuzed.

Kinda like the Asheron's Call model. But with 12 updates a year corresponding to your 12 montly fees.
