Nintendo does software right. The GC while a decent peice of hardware, simple has a poor controller and the only games worth owning are the nintendo games on it.
All of the other titles are pretty much ported to all of the other consoles. With a few exceptions like viewtiful joe etc.
What i fear is those in power using it against you because of what you say and not do.
That is what i fear.
You can take a perfectly innocent person and that person can say something that is perfectly legal yet highly offensive to someone, and that someone may be a person in power who can rip you a new asshole over it. That may include taking you to court, making your life miserable etc.. all because they have power. EVEN if the end result doesnt result in jail time or a conviction.
Also there are other elements to privacy that are important. Privacy allows us to make mistakes and not ruin our lives... such as "oops i ran a red light, but i honestly couldnt see if it was red due to the sun flaring in my eyes"
Well that means shit to the police officer. And it means even little to the judge. Because you cant prove it EVEN though it was teh truth.
You get fined.
Privacy is an important element to our society.
I'm not affraid of some mother hearing me say "ah go fuck yourself" or "Fuck you and your republican president" but i'm worried about a secret service agent overhearing me say "i fucking hate this president"
I don't see how people can be upset about monitoring chatrooms
Gee whats to worry about?
10 friends hanging in an irc channel talking about how much they hate the president, or telling dead babies fucking jokes have absolutely nothing to worry about!
hmm yeah who cares whos listening...
Ah yes.. no more "fuck bush" or "whats the best part about fucking jean bennet ramsie jokes"
You will fear who is listening. You're rants about how fucking lame our president is, and how he should be sent truck loads of pretzels joke will be now flagged as suspicious.
You will begin to cower in fear as our pricacy laws erode.
There is just so little one has in defense against our ruling class kings.
One angry black agent who saw you tell a nigger joke on irc, may just go after you like a rabid dog and you will be slippery sloped right into jail all because of a pissed off agent, and a system that doesnt offer enough defense for the accused.
You have nothing to worry about.
If that were true, why would the founders of this country have fought so hard, blood and tears... for privacy and civil rights independent of the ruling class?
Yup, its Senator Lieberman who does this every year.
And its carried by Cspan every year. (i love cspan btw)
Senator Lieberman almost became our VP. Pretty sad. One of the key reasons i voted for Nader in 2000. That and well the democrats suck the corperate dick.
Senator Nazi Super Jew loves do this every year. It helps make him look like hes actually doing something when infact hes not and has done so little for our country.
He's a scary man. Ultra religous and he certainly has his idea of what your life should be. ODD that a jew in power would be so much like hitler.
Fuck the children and fuck the bible thumping white house wives who suck their husbands dick in private but in public feel so ashamed of it, that they have to shelter the rest of the world from their own guilt.
What happened to respecting each other? Live and let live?
Unfortunately we just sit here and bitch whenever stories like this come around, while these organizations are proactive and lobby our government etc.
In Other News... Videogamae players find... that bible thumping white retarded house wifes organized under acronyms that have the world FAMILY in them are ruining this country with their hypocracy and quest to rule the world.
Dear god folks! cant you see... Half Life 2 is bad for you! It will make you masturbate and forget to go to church!
Please stop playing Half Life 2 and Masturbating.. you're waisting your seed... That seed belongs to Jesus, or atleast your local town kiddie fucker...
oops i meant preacher.
You are the devil you shameful porn enjoying human beings. HOW DARE YOU fuck another woman without marrying her. HOW DARE YOU have sex for fun. HOW DARE you be a homosexual. HOW DARE YOU!
There is only one thing i have to tell these family organizations.... and that is:
If you continue this holy quest to control our lives, i will be forced to buy a gun a kill you. Many others will pick up arms like me and fight side by side in a civil war to prevent this theocracy from infecting our lives any further.
It is not books, music, and entertainment that make us jack off, fuck each other and enjoy life... Thats our natural behavior as humans. Its about time you stop trying to control humans with your religious fairy tales and start jacking off like real human beings do.
Its not the games that make people violent, it's the lack of freedom that makes people violent. What makes people violent is when they feel they are out of control their lives and have been tortured by other human beings without a single care for their well being.
Time and time again that has been proven through out history.
Leave my sex and violence alone, and i'll allow you to enjoy your even more offensive bible. The fairy tale books that you retarded dumb house wifes read say other things that just "violence is wrong, homosexuals are wrong, jerking off is wrong, and abortion is wrong". I suggest you learn the other aspects to your religion such as tolerane.. and if you cant....
Here is a fucking clue...
It's America, and tough fucking titty.
If the jesus freaks really want to go down this route... Lets do it. Civil War.
Its not the idea of losing my entertainment that makes me violent over this... its the idea of losing my country and allowing these fucking morons to own it, that makes me insane.
Try reading dr sues books instead of the bible.. Start there you fucking culture nazis
Google's stock goes through the roof... it was only natural that lawyers would go after them. They've probably been waiting for google to go public before bringing this up.
We are a consumer culture, we consume... based on addiction!
Who isnt addicted to sex? Who isnt addicted to sugar? Who isnt addicted to laughter? Who isnt addicted to sports Who isnt addicted to talking? who isnt addicted to politics? who isnt addicted to television who isnt addicted to radio who isnt addicted to driving who isnt addicted to coffee
addiction does not ruin life... IT IS life. Replace the words "who isnt addited to" with "who doesnt enjoy"
Addiction is just doing what you enjoy on a frequent basis because you enjoy it.
Addiction has a negative connotation when it shouldnt. Addiction should be a neutral word.
PORN is heaven. And many folks are addicted to the bible and i dont want to ban their idea of heaven... very odd that they're hell bend on ruining mine.
GUNS are addicting FUN is addicting Jumping off bridges with a bungee cord is addicting Gambling is addicting Smoking is addicting Helping others is addicting Being an evil bastard is addicting Playing with my own penis while watching some psuedo named hot girl drink it down from 30 guys is my own dam buisness.... And besides.. she did it, she filmed it... i'm just watching... and thank you so much you little dirty saint!
MORE PORN.. less bible. OOPS.. let me translate that into arabic...
Its nice to see humans doing something kind for another creature.
I personally think its our best and most uniquely human attribute. Bravo Japan. The Japanese continue to enrich our world with their kindness, and technological "know how"
Nice fuzzy warm story... Maybe we as a human race should do more kind things like this and a little less bombing.
We might just learn to like living in peace with our planet and ourselves.
Now he's a pawn in our capitalist system of bullshit:)
I see he's learned to play the game very well.
Shawn appears to be selling the desperate a solution to their problems. I hope he walks away rich as hell and our economy continues to dwindle due to lame buisness moves just like this.
I do belive the government TRACKING every automobile in our civilization is a violoation of our privacy.
I'm really growing to dislike our country (America that is). It stands for so little that is relevant to an individuals rights these days... not even the ideals it set forth. So much for inalienable rights
We're a profit society and you are only worth the cost of your exploitation.
Frankly i'm starting to feel all fuzzy knowing that the michigan militia exists;)
It seems that when politicians, aka fat cats... who simply sit on their high chair with no real qualifications to run our gorvernment in a financially stable way, love to make new ridiculous laws that at all costs are defined to make up for their own lame inabilities.
Basically.. you're electing idiots (like Arnie) and now hes fucking you. GOOD JOB! Lets make it legal for such a fine man to run for president.
Disney hasnt made a good film since uh.. Pixars last film;)
Lets look at the history.
Pixar: Toy Story 1 - Smash success! Disney: NOTHING! Pixar: A Bug's Life - Smash success! Disney: Tarzan - SUCESS! Pixar: Toy Story 2 - SMASH SUCCESS!:) Disney: NOTHING! Pixar: MONSTERS INC - SMASH SUCCESS! Disney: NOTHING! Pixar: Finding Nemo - SMASH SUCCESS! Disney: NOTHING Pixar: The Incredibles - SMASH SUCCESS! Disney: NOTHING.
Now every period between a pixar film is rougly 2 years or so... You do the math. DISNEY has done NOTHING successfull. You could toss in Lilo and Stitch but.. who cares.
Btw disney has made some good 2d animated films over that period of time however they all flopped at the box office despite being entertaining.
Its only natural that Disney is lame enough to try and rape Pixar of its signature characters.
BTW John Lassetter left Disney because it was boring and lame. I'm talking about when he went and joined up with Ed Catmull and formed pixar with Lucas.
Tim Burton left Disney because it was boring and lame...
Disney fired its entire animation division because it felt they were boring and lame.
Its not the artists... ITS THE FUCKING COMPANY
Disney is a mess.... and i have family members who work for disney, and i'm a character animator myself.... Present day DISNEY is the joke of the industry while the old legendary wisemen of Disney remain legends.
DISNEY has just become as lame as Dreamworks/PDI. JUST like dreamworks PDI.. DISNEY CAN NOT COME UP WITH NEW IDEAS!!!!@#!@#!@ They copy pixar just like dreamworks and PDI.. although in this case.. they own Toystory so they only need to rape it.
I hope Tom Hanks and Tim Allen refuse to do this film.
But its also normal in the commercial and broadcast production as well. And its not right and needs to stop.
For example. I had worked at x company doing a 3d work for a broadcast project. I would come in at 9am and leave at 11pm. This is in New York City.
So the next day i come in at 12pm... and get yelled at! "You need to be here at 9am"
I complained "BUT I WAS HERE TO 11PM LAST NIGHT.. HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY EXPECT A HUMAN TO FUNCTION LIKE THIS!"
It really is insane work ours in 3d art and game developement.
The funny thing is a lot of the less important workers would leave on the dot at 6pm every day and there were no problems with that.
sigh.
This really is a major problem. Working like that is very exhausting. I know very important higher ups in the major broadcasting networks and i know for a fact that they work endless hours, weekends etc... they also make a lot more money than i would doing 3d for their shows!:)
But whatever.. i really dont mind working a late night sometimes but it is not fair at all to be expected to show up EARLY the next day.
If there is anything i've learned from watching the discovery channel's, Monster House;)... is that when a team decides to pull an all nighter on a project... DONT EXPECT THEM TO WORK THE NEXT DAY!
We're human beings... we need sleep. And higher pay if they expect us to be this intense of a work force.
This is silly. So nvidia, intel, all the board manufacturers lower their prices so MS and the other corperate software giants can still sell their software at insane prices?
"hey make your stuff cheaper cause they cant afford ours"
Doesnt work.

Nintendo does software right. The GC while a decent peice of hardware, simple has a poor controller and the only games worth owning are the nintendo games on it.
All of the other titles are pretty much ported to all of the other consoles. With a few exceptions like viewtiful joe etc.
I very much did like Zelda on GC but thats about it. Sunshine was rather uninspired i think.
I havent tried Paper mario though. Looked interesting.
I've recently sold my GC so my GC days are over.
I could not stand the controller.
Maybe the hackers can whip up a game that makes the GC worth owning.
Its garbage. Nintendo's last console (if they know whats good for them)

I'm pretty sure if we install a keylogger on the judges pc that he will soon realize where he went wrong.
The global multi nationals and domestic corperate giants sure do have our politicians by the balls dont they.
How insulting. It rememds me of clockwork orrange where you're forced to sit and watch.

Playing with my own penis while watching some psuedo named hot girl drink it down from 30 guys is my own dam buisness.... And besides.. she did it, she filmed it... i'm just watching... and thank you so much you little dirty saint!
MORE PORN.. less bible. OOPS.. let me translate that into arabic...
MORE PORN.. LESS KORAN!
This will be another united global movement towards bettering our existance and America will surely ignore it.
Its nice to see humans doing something kind for another creature.

I personally think its our best and most uniquely human attribute. Bravo Japan. The Japanese continue to enrich our world with their kindness, and technological "know how"

Make these rich bastards pay up. CEOs make too much money.
