Oh, bullshit. Stop acting persecuted because the chip you like was developed by a corporation who can't get good PR when people hand it to them. A martyr complex isn't witty or persuasive, it just rallies the people who already agree in the first place. It's also excessively irritating to read.
Do you really think a PS3 is constructed for constant uptime? It's possible they factored this in while they were designing the console, but it seems unlikely to me.
Also, I have a computer with a fan that conked out after 1 day. Anecdote cancellation in effect.
As I recall from my (extremely heavy) TFC playing days, there are several classes for whom precision of aiming isn't really a concern. You don't have to be super fast to lay a bomb trap, for instance, and I don't think having a mouse will make a turret more effective. Unless they've completely gimped the classes to make them all Battefield style shooters, I don't really see this as being an issue. Console players will just tend towards the non-precision classes and things will probably even out.
Why do you see a foregone conclusion that auto-aim for console clients means auto-aim for PC clients? There's no logic behind that statement at all, and no reason it couldn't be done.
Since the infrastructure is the prime investment for the major business of the companies, how would you intend to wrest control from their hands? An edict? A buyout?
We're simply asking for a fairer valuation of our actions, one which incorporates a more expansive world view than existed at the birth of industrial capitalism, 200 years ago. We have faith that, when viewed through this lends, the choices become obvious, and they swing in our favor.
You think your opinion is obviously correct? I'm shocked, I never thought I see such an attitude on Slashdot.
You're close, except the truth is subtly different: Apple tells the user what they want (6 buttons on my remote? WTF?) and the fans agree wholeheartedly, lambasting anyone who dares to differ.
Maybe, just maybe, these people talk above their normal tone because the people on the other end couldn't hear them. I know it's more likely that the world is full of assholes you should tear down constantly, but I like to enumerate the possibilities.
I'm sorry, did you just suggest people watch two hours of Richard Stallman on a Saturday night? Dear god, I know this is Slashdot but let's not go too far.
The only spin in the summary would be what you put there yourself. The most that's said is that this game type is new to Gears. I don't think there's much dispute to be had there.

It's not that understandable, actually. He wasn't spamming, he was summarizing articles people found interesting. There's just a contingent of people on Slashdot are grouchy about anyone making money. Most of us don't really care if the guy gets a buck or two.
For that matter, how is it less objectionable for Slashdot itself to make ad money? They don't even bother finding the articles, or doing anything useful with them in any way. Roland at least provided something for the clicks. All we get here is inane commentary which, lets face it, is just a time sink for those of us who can't find anything better to do.
I'm with you, man. I agree with about 90% of his message, but the way he delivers it makes me rethink my position every time I read something of his.
I guess it's more to do with the fact that his entire world is some insane version of reality where computers are the most important thing than anything else.

Don't you interrupt a subtle Bush bash you right-wing fascist. Let our superiors in Eurofreeland tell us how to live, please.
What do you have invested in Sony that you are such a vicious defender in the face of unfavorable facts?

Don't download the "Hey You" available now. You'll be sorely disappointed.

It's not even "not have internet access." It's "not have broadband."
Reading this entire topic reminds me of listening to my grandmother bitch because the newspaper was up to 50 cents.
I guess we should close down the free market so someone else can make that choice for us? I'm not sure what other option there would be.

Why is monetizing gaming wrong? Is this another one of those "entertainment wants to be free" arguments that I read from the movie downloaders?
So the slogan is data entry wants to be free?
Bravo, sir or ma'am. It's rare to find reasoned AC posts like yours.

I've been downloading movies since before 2000. Let's not get Steve's dick too far down our throat, Mr. AC.
Typically due to intelligence and hard work. Let's not get confused here.

You drastically overestimate the number of people who care

Don't apologize when expressing your opinion. It makes you look like a pretentious asshole.

Why wait? Smaller isn't a problem.
