Interesting point.
In my opinion, gaming devices (consoles, PCs, handhelds) are too expensive. I'm gonna pick up an XBOX when the XBOX 360 comes out. 70-90 bucks used sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Yes, but you could still potentially lose thousands of dollars of what could have been your money. Your best bet would be to cash out every half hour or hour, change tables, and let the bot wager another x dollars if he broke even or won on the last game.
Just because nobody's selling them, doesn't mean nobody's making them.
Actually, its easy to make adventure games with AGS. Anybody can do it. So go make one, sell it, and make money. Revitalize the genre instead of complaining about it.
I want a Pen-&-Paper Fallout. They could include the rules in the box of Fallout 3.
They could steal the simple rules of the Unisystem, and it would get lots of non-gamers gaming.
That's pretty much what Tomb Raider is. Crappy controls? Check. Lots of cave-like environments? Check. Dumb as hell combat? Check. Anything we left out? Oh, yeah, throw some dinosaurs, guns, and a chick with big tits in there.
Gentlemen, I think our design is complete.
But Halo 3 will let you hold 3 guns at once!! None of the cool ones, but what do you expect? Halo 3 will also have you play a soldier of the flood. Of course, it'll be exactly like the other two races, but your hand will look really different. Halo 3 will also nerf the only good weapon (*cough*pistol*cough*) and introduce a cool new weapon to take its place as the most powerful.
That new weapon will, of course, be replaced in Halo 4.

I got mine for $2.00. My copy of Quake 2, too. At a church sale. Go figure.
The smaller and lesser known the game you play, the larger the community interaction. If you play a MUD with only 10-15 people online at the same time, you really get to know people. 3.5 million subscribers? You just don't get to know anyone like in a smaller game.
Don't you need friends to play with, though? And if all your friends are online, because you don't have time to make offline friends, what with all your powerleveling...
Don't tell him!!
Oh well, the damage has been done.
They used to have a great free program called MTGPlay, but the Wizards lawyers threatened them with a lawsuit, so they turned it into Octagon.

That's what you consider "rights".
Just because you say you have a god given right to freedom of speech, or smoking weed, or whatever you want to do in the privacy of your own home, doesn't mean you have that right.
You are, unless you believe in God, completely rightless.
We, as a people, decide what we can do, and what our rights are. That's why the neighbors can't make (highly explosive) meth in the privacy of their own home, or bury toxic waste in their lawn. We simply don't afford them that right.
But in Korea, everybody's a gamer, so the Korean chicks have to settle. If we could just increase the number of hardcore male gamers here, we would be all set.
You're just reading them wrong.
7.0-7.9 Craptacular crapfest of crap. Don't buy.
8.0-8.9 Mediocre gameplay, graphics, sound, and replay value.
9.0-10.0 The developers payed the magazine or website a few extra grand.
Just because you make up a freedom doesn't mean you have it. I can say I'm free to indecently expose myself, but if it's not legal, they can still arrest me for it, so it doesn't count as a right.
Zombie games would benefit from bones, clothing, and skin. So would really gory fighting games. Mortal Kombat fatalities with that kind of system would rock. Since most of the innovation in video games is graphics oriented anyway, I don't see this too far off.

Don't you love how they call it the 'Silver' package instead of the 'Bronze' or 'Aluminium' or 'brass' package?

You can't even own high-quality body armor, legally. So I can protect myself with a revolver, rifles, shotguns, but not body armor? Great...
Hey! You know that's not true! Stop trolling! Everybody knows the military pays shit.

Gentlemen, I think our design is complete.
If they would just redo the control and combat portions of the game, it would be fine. I mean, really, you have dual analog sticks for a reason.

Age of Empire. It's like Age of Empires, but with just one!
It's nice to be able to figure out the puzzles the GM throws at you for a change.
"Damn, how are these guys uncovering every single trap, secret passage, monster weakness, and item quality I throw at them? It's uncanny!"

Pretty. But I wanna hear about the game mechanics. Then again, I like MUDs, so don't listen to me.

I think they're making jabs at his maturity, not his sexuality.
Alright, alright, I'll give you my stuff! Just don't hit me!
