I can attest for Inoshiro's account. A great percentage of the disruptive users who's age I learn are minors, typically editing from school computers. This suggests that either disruptive users tend to be minors and/or minors tend to be overly lax with their personal information.
I suggest you learn more about the series before you complain about it jumping the shark. The PIPBoy's not going to do much crying since it's a computer. As for Vaultboy, he suffered a painful death at the ends of (WTF) Chuck Ceuvas. Near his sorry end he was forced to sellout to fast food corporations and bowling allies (apparently) to pay for his addiction to anti-depressants. (he didn't spec. chem resistant)
Films made with little or no attention to quality or artistic merit but with an eye to a quick profit, usually via high-pressure sales and promotion techniques emphasizing some sensational aspect of the product.
If you are fan of the series, you should be rejoicing. Bethesda's involvement means that there might be hope of finally, finally getting a Fallout 3. When it is completed, it might not be the greatest game every released, but the team will have to work seriously damned hard to make it worse than BoS.
It was impossible to break the launch records during the North American release. 400,000 consoles were supposed to be available for, but Sony could not meet its shipping quota. The actual number of consoles available for launch is unkown, but we said to be around 40% less than Sony had originally planned, or only around a quarter-million.
A while back, in my third year of university my Cable ISP called me up and kindly asked me to come down to their office. I had signed up for my plan a year prior, back when they first offered their unlimited packages. However, recently they had made changes to their unlimited plan; turning it into an "unlimited" plan. Problem was, I never signed their agreement and I was also (so they told me) the small city's #1 consumer of upload bandwidth. I was consuming roughly fifty times the upload bandwidth as the typical non-casual customer.
I explained that since I was switched off a meter, I had been seeding torrents a lot more and even uploading them in some cases. The more people to download "Shining Force (complete series).torrent" the better, IMHO. I'm a nice guy, however, and said I'd stop seeding past 1.0 for their sake. I even signed their "unlimited" agreement uncoerced.
I was fired from my first and last menial office job for browsing the Internet (Slashdot) "three times per day". I.e. during my coffee and lunch breaks. 'Course, I didn't learn the true reason until months afterward. At the time, I had broken no rule that I had been informed of and was told simply that it "wasn't working out" and that "human resources" never told "them" the reason.
From a reviewer's perspective, the 3D Sonic titles are brought down primarily by technical problems and secondly by a lack of focus on what makes the Sonic series unique. Once you resolve that, I believe the series can be further enhanced by track-relative controls (as opposed to camera-relative) and the introduction of quick time events for complex maneuvers.
According to my Xfire profile, I've been playing for 28 hours. Already, I'm finished with the thieves', assassins' and mages' guilds, and completed every random quest I could find inside of all the major settlements.
Next in line is the closing of the random Oblivion gates. They're annoyingly redundant, but luckily, nothing can stop the 'Fox. This should be finished soon, considering that I can close a gate in about five minutes if I try hard enough.
So in conclusion, while Oblivion may be large, it is by no means infinite.
I tried looking, but I couldn't figure out where the researcher lived. While the Internet connects us all, generally people only play with those closest to them - for reasons of ping.
The reason I ask is because of the 7% racial slurs. I play on four servers. One up here in Alberta, one in Seattle, one in Texas and on my clan server in the UK. Racial slurs are nearly unheard of up here, while you hear the occasional one in Seattle, and you can hardly go a game session in Texas without someone saying "nigger".
My clan is based out of Europe because we first got together playing Worms, where ping didn't matter. The first time one of my clanmates called me a "wanker" over voice chat, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
I also lost an office job a long while back. They never gave me a reason when they told me it "wasn't working out", but I've learned the details about it recently. Turns out the reason was because the logs showed that I surfed the Internet "three times" in one day. Non-coincidentally, my two coffee-breaks and one lunch break add up to having a break "three times" a day.
It's such total BS that I'm tempted to call the union, but I won't. The job sucked, and I'm glad to have it behind me.
On one hand, Bush Co. represents everything that he hates about America. The election of Kerry may just be the change in foreign policy that he's looking for. On the other hand, he may be so far gone that he supports Bush because he's "not really concerned about [Bin Laden]", and makes American targets more accessible. Or, as some say, Bush has such an aggressive foreign policy that he scares the terrorists... who exist because of America's aggressive foreign policy.:/
Goldeneye's greatness was artifically inflated by the lack of other good console FPSs at the time. It was really the first time that console gamers had the opportunity to play a good deathmatch. PC gamers, on the other hand, had been playing on LANs or the Internet for years by that point.
I knew someone who'd order a steak at a restaurant, eat all but one bite, then send it back to the cook.
I guess there's always people who exploit the system, but there's also people like me who open their Anachronox box and find one CD missing.
I downloaded it using Kazaa Lite. My friend gave me the URL that the official version uses for its homepage. I then took that and made it the default webpage of my Kazaa. I followed the link from the resulting page and the file began downloading.
I'd like to note, however, that it took me nine hours to download a six hour demo. o_0
I have no doubt that they'll use the work done by UO2's game design team while developing UXO. They already stripped out most of its content for use in the Blackthorn's Revenge expansion. The development of UO2 wasn't cheap, and attempts to reclaim the loss only make sense.

"Usually". My emphasis was on the first half of that sentence. The little promotion that existed was sensationalist, however.

The last Fallout game to be released, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel , was an expliotation film turned video game. To quote the Wikipedia article:

*shrug*
The job sucked anyway.
This is like saying that the future of the cocaine industry is in baking soda.
Here is X-Play's feature on how to save the series:2 68M

Verifying a single vote was never the problem. Verifying the vote is. In the US, at least.

I don't know. Grim Fandango was released three years after Full Throttle and I would consider it a very good, if not great adventure game.

Thermally conductive sweaters? Great idea, guys, but why stop there? I propose oven mitts.

I never understood what was so hard about the code used in voting machines.
if (vote == 'Kerry') kerry++; else bush+=2;See? Simple.
Sidenote: The original Halo has, in fact, been released on the PC.
