I thought these were interesting, but I've never gotten around to trying them out. I have the T&T rulebook, too, and a solitaire adventure for that, but I never got around to trying to work through it.
He's not stealing because the theatre chain has agreed to pick up after him if he watches the movie. If I agree to build a doghouse for somebody for $50.00, and the wood costs $53.50, he's not stealing from me, I just underestimated the cost of doing business with that person.
Man, purses are made for smuggling snacks into movies! If you don't have a chick to go with, you can usually just put a little lipstick and blush on, stuff a purse full of food, and adopt a lisp. They normally don't say anything.
Hypothetical situation: you just bought two or three thousand dollars worth of home entertainment. XBOX 360, HD-TV, the works. Now you buy a couple of games for $60 each. Now a friend comes along and says "hey, check out this awesome little shooter you can download for five bucks!" You play the demo, it's fun, and you figure hey, if I'm going to be spending this much on a gaming system, I might as well spend a bit extra and buy the little five dollar game, right?
Why is it selling better than other XBOX 360 games? Because it's five bucks. If it was $60 would it sell well? No. That's because even if you spend thousands on an XBOX 360, five bucks for a new game is still to sweet too pass up.
"And never ever take a tool to a fight, the chance of you losing and having it used againt you is far to high for it to be an 'intelligent' choice."
If you're the type of person to panic easily and drop the weapon, maybe. But look at it from your opponent's perspective. If it was a fight to the death, would you rather fight a guy who had a knife, or a guy without a knife?
Either way, the software developer was an asshole. He should have taken it to the authorities, not tried to force the guy to stop selling his software with violence.
Because it's five dollars, compared to sixty for a new game, and pretty much the only people who can afford XBOX 360s are older hardcore gamers who remember space shooters from their childhood?
I'm glad somebody mentioned Fallout. The atmosphere really makes you feel like you're in a dirty, lowbrow environment. Plus there's all the dialog options and different ways to complete quests. I've just started going through Fallout 2 again (I quit the first time, due to lack of character planning), and it's an amazing game.
is photographing a naked person porn? two people making love? Is it two people and a donkey covered in Jell-O instant pudding, making love? With half-a-dozen vibrators and bondage tape and a gimp mask?
That's a great idea! All the porn on the internet would be required to move to "porn.xxx", and be combined into one webpage. It would have all these flying banners and movies and images and stuff, all on the same page! It'd be like a MySpace, but obscene!.

I didn't used to be a Nintendo fanboy. I didn't play the GBA too much, and I played more PS than N64. But then I bought a DS. Once I saw how cool and useful the touch screen was, I was more than ready to listen to whatever they were pitching for their innovative new console, especially at the $150-$250 price range. Unless it's the next Virtual Boy, I'm planning on picking one up shortly after it comes out. You know, as long as I can get Smash Bros. or something for it.
Every script kiddie with a compiler would be hacking the game. You've seen how messy online games can get when they're closed-source, and you're suggesting they open up an MMO?
All this guy did was use some source code and change some settings. Nothing major. He's not the kind of guy who's going to make another Napster. He probably doesn't even know how he's doing what he's doing.
I'd like to see a community-based game where you interact with a group of 25-50 people in a neighborhood/town. Like logging onto a small MUD and getting to know the community, but more like Harvest Moon or something.
Hey, I'm not stopping you! I hope more women get into game development, I just hate it when women criticize the games that guys find fun for not appealing to them. If women want to play games targetted at them, they should make their own, instead of relying on a community infamously bad around women to make games they're going to enjoy. People who don't like comic books should draw their own, gamers who think games aren't innovative should create their own, people who think movies are too violent should film their own, if football's to dumb for you (I don't like it, personally), then go ahead and make your own sport up, and women who don't like games should program their own. Nothing's stopping you from making a proof-of-concept of a game that's "easy to pick up and play for short periods of time, easy to learn, involves community interaction," and whetever else so-called experts say women want in games.

Female Gamers Duke It Out

Yeah, but women just complain about it, instead of trying to get into the games industry. Women who complain because male game designers make games that they think are fun, instead of pandering to an audience they don't understand, are dumb. As bad as the people who complain about too much violence in video games, and the people who complain about the lack of innovation. Get off your asses and do something, or don't complain.

Gosh, we wouldn't want those guys pissed off!
Man, I'd buy Wario Wrestling!
I've always been afraid of the bears and stuff.
Yeah, he was pretty cool. Definitely a game to watch.

Ot that stupid Gameboy. That black, yellow and green monstrosity of a brick will never beat the Gamegear. Mark my words.

"What is pornography?"

Crazy talk.
In Soviet Russia, bad jokes make you!
I'm confused as to what you speak of. What kind of 'P2P kit' are you thinking about?

Get off your asses and do something, or don't complain.
It's all about spinning the balls when you hit them.
