Considering that Bungie has apparently drawn out an entire century of storyline for the Halo universe, this movie might not be all that bad. They could make it a prequel to the first game, about the start of the war with the Covenant, and the establishment of the Cole Protocol.
Everyone here is so eager to bash on how "bad" Windows is, giving stupid misspellings and generally acting like jackasses. I use Windows at home, and I never plan to switch; I've never gotten a virus, never had a problem with spyware, and never had problems with random crashes. I restart about once a week to make sure I keep things running smoothly, and that's it. I don't know what you guys are doing to fuck your Windows boxes up so much, but I have no problem keeping mine up and running.
It wouldn't be fun. It would be thousands of people trying to be the biggest jackasses they could; you'd never get anywhere without being run off the road or shot. It'd be dying every 30 seconds and waiting 5 for to respawn. That sounds the opposite of awesome.
Don't be a douche bag just for the sake of making a name for yourself and your high and mighty musical opinions on Slashdot.
AFI's put out six albums since 1995, and have just now started to garner quite a following. They're definitely more than a Britney Spears of punk music; sounds to me like you finally heard a song on the radio and jumped to conclusions. Shut the hell up next time.
Family Guy, where Adam West is the voice of the mayor, and Meg writes about the scandal in which the mayor thinks his water is being stolen by the drain, potted plants, etc., and spends taxpayer money to fund an investigation.
A few days ago, I was trying to decide between an external hard drive and a DVD burner as a backup solution for my home PC (which I'll soon be moving to Gentoo). I knew that if I got the DVD burner, I'd have spindles of DVDs and stacks all over the place of things I burned that I'd probably never use again, so I picked the hard drive.
Personally, I'm sick of optical media, mainly because it's too fragile and it piles up. I know that every time I buy a new CD or DVD, I immediately rip it so that I'll be able to actually use whatever was on it in another 5 years.
A note on the NPCs...it's the only RPG I've played where they haven't annoyed the hell out of me besides Knights of the Old Replublic. Morte is hilarious, and I genuinely like Dak'kon. I actually liked him so much that when I had the opportunity to trade for more powerful party members, I didn't because I wanted to talk to him more.
One of the few games that managed to pull off a sad ending did it so well partially because of its superb voice acting. If you want to play a game with awesome voice acting, or just an awesome game, you can find this one in bargain bins for $10.
Personally, I can't stand the PS2 controller, and the original Xbox controller is abominable. The S-Type fixed most of its problems, if not all. The problems I have with the Dual Shock:
I'm 6' 4". I have large hands. Could we get some bigger grips, bigger everything?
The D-pad buttons suck; I should be able to put my thumb in teh center, and roll it slightly outward to use an arrow; the Dual Shock's crazy 4 different buttons make that harder than it should be.
The sticks are too short. I have long thumbs and I'm not a contortionist; I have to keep my thumbs bent crazy angles in order to use them.
The joysticks feel loose. They're so easy to move that they don't provide any tactile response.
The L1 and R1 buttons are too small. The L2 and R2 buttons, on the other hand, are a much better size.
What about a distro that makes dual booting with Windows easy, for those of us who like what we see on the live cds but like to play games, or aren't quite willing to switch over completely for some other reason?

It has a D-pad on it, but you can hit a button on the left side of the controller to turn on "tilt mode." It HAS been applied to gaming before.

I started browsing reality around the age of 1, when I learned to WALK.

If there weren't viruses, the flaws wouldn't matter, because they wouldn't be exploited.
