Well if I can't argue that somebody should be able to do whatever they want with a Pringles can, can I argue the other way? I mean, when you think about it, there are all kinds of regular, everyday household items that could be considered deadly weapons. Steak knives? They're freaking designed to efficiently cut flesh!! Hammers? Designed to deliver a very hard, concentrated blow. Chainsaws? Have you ever seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Enough said. They should all be banned, because they are often used for illegal activities. Ignore the fact that they are often used for constructive, creative endevors, please.
It's not about whether I'm going to be arrested for having a cantenna, it's about our society only having laws that help the people. Letting a police officer arrest me for something they shouldn't be able to arrest me for undermines the principles of our society, and leads to civil unrest. If a law shouldn't be there, it shouldn't be there, so we shouldn't have it.
I've never played it, and I don't have a DC or a GC, so I'm guessing blind here: Is it like Tony Hawks Pro Skater had a horrendously uncontrollable love-child with Dance Dance Revolution? Sounds fun.
I've never played Lazer Tag, but isn't there a score thing on the vests? Supersoakers aren't good for organized play because there's no way to declare a winner. For screwing around, they're fine, though.
It's going to be exactly like the Resident Evil movie, except he'll spend the entire movie switching between holding his gun and wielding the flashlight.
Clinton lied about a blowjob. Bush *might* have lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction, causing a war that's gotten thousands of civilians and soldiers killed.
I wish they would stop with the petty deals and just let them come out with the games for whatever console they want. I don't know why consumers are putting up with this. Oh, yeah, because KOTOR and Halo are too great to wait for... *rolls eyes*
I'd like to point out that (I hope) in 50 or 60 years, our kids will all be sitting around their computers discussing the rampant homophobia that took place in the '00s.
Actually, I don't think he's worried. If you want to game, you use Windows. Gamers already have it, have it set up with all their games, and if they use Linux, it's only as an alternate OS. Not a primary one. If this was free, that would be something, but charging $45.00 a year? "Yeah, well my free, community supported, open source OS can run almost all the games yours can for only $45.00 a year! So there!"
Wouldn't your best bet be to incorporate a black or blue or green suit covered with little white dots? Seemed to work well for the motion capturing guys. You wouldn't look like... you, but it would still work great for 3D games.

I'm petitioning them to use cardboard cutouts. It would be more faithful to the original.

Clinton is such a bastard...

Low interest loans? How can I lose!?!
Maybe he makes a nice living because he works 15 hours a day. Or maybe he loves his job.
I was thinking about the speed issue. Linux must really be wonderful to run 12 applications without taking a speed hit.

Wow, you keep twelve applications up while you're playing a game?
I had an old mac that had Sim Tower. I kinda wish I had the windows version, so I could see if there was a right-click menu...

Whenever I see an eyetoy movie, it always features some old lady randomly swatting bobbleheaded midget-ninjas. Not exactly Kung Fu.
"Oh Jar Jar. Nobody loves you but me."
"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - For Real This Time"
srand(), This is my friend, time(). time()? I'd like you to meet srand().
No, because from a legal point of view, you're allowed to view the media. So because they say it isn't piracy, it's not.
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of selling your broken iPod on ebay?
Extremely good pricing, huh?
Okay, do whatever you want with your money, but I think I'll stick with a $20 walkman and a spindle of 50 blank CDs.
Some poor bastard's like "Woo! I got an iPod... Oh damnit!"
