My first game was Flimbo's quest on the commodore 64, I think.. I started playing so long ago it was either an OLD atari game like pac man/Pong or it was Flimbo's quest, I can't remember a time when I wasn't into games, so I probably have games I played before my memory became of any use.
Some people like to check the quality and pick produce themselves. I prefer shopping online too, but lets be honest, I don't know what I'm ordering exactly until it arrives, it could just as easily be poor quality as good.
GTA has focus though, you have to follow it through to unlock new stuff, it's done in a way that feels free but is still restrictive enough to feel you're moving forward.
I find open ended games to bore me more than structured ones. I mean sure I get the new sword and the new shield and now I can goto another area, but I have no sense of progress. Instead I'll get bored and just give up, where as a game with a focus or several paths I can follow happily feeling I'm achieving stuff rather than just wandering blindly grinding to level up stuff.
How long would sperm be able to live though? I believe it's about 3 days in an ideal environment (vagina), how would it work in a hostile one like a nanobot?
I enjoy the 10 man type missions, and so do a lot of others. If you're unaware of it try Cannon Fodder It's an old game which revolves around that concept.
I personally don't enjoy HUGE skirmishes where the largest side wins, I'd rather play a small scale tactical game where I have to pick my targets carefully to win.
The DS gets more marketing in the UK than the Wii. I'd say it's 2/1 towards the DS on TV adverts. Nintendo sponsor the Friday night comedy slot on Channel 4, every 15 minutes 2 adverts for the Wii or DS play (one before and after the break). So it's not like the DS is unadvertised.
The problem is the DS isn't innovative any more, it's been sold on cute games like Nintendogs and learning games like Brain age, so it's aiming at the 'intelligent' and 'casual' side of the casual market, the Wii is aimed at the 'family' part of the casual market, it's difficult to match the two or link them (no casual will buy a DS to play a Wii game)
But if you know you're being watched won't it effect how you act?
If that woman knows someone is watching her she might resist eating that extra few fries, but if she isn't she might just go get another bag cause she's had a shitty day.
Buzzlight year

Where are Wii?

· Score: 3, Insightful
Any one remember Buzz Lightyear and the Furbies?
Same shit every Christmas just with a different name. Kids want the same 'cool' toy, so mothers (and some times fathers, but usually mothers) turn up at Toys 'r' US at 3am every day waiting for the next shipment then end up in near fist fights over it. It's been going on for as many years as I can remember, the only difference is the cost of the wii is much greater than the cost of a Furby or Buzz Lightyear was.
But hey, I already have a Wii and want a 360 this year, so I'm quite happy to watch the same story over again, except this time it's on slashdot instead of the local news.
I started a wiki a few days ago about a Japanese game series, me and a bunch of fans are working to make a complete wiki of the game series to use as a later resource. We don't get any money, we're not elitest and we have no desire to do anything but make the best wiki we can to give information to the masses and help them play the games should they desire to.
I don't care if I stay in control or not, just as long as the wiki becomes the best resource it can I'm happy. So your theory goes out the window when you consider me.:)
I can't use HTML beyond linking images and text, because I really don't enjoy coding of any sort, it just doesn't work for how I process the world, I can't see all this text and picture how it works no matter how hard I try to do so, my brain just doesn't function that way.
Does it mean I'm some stupid subhuman or does it just mean you're being the stereo typical geek who thinks he's the greatest person on Earth because he knows the latest coding language? I've read a little of your journal here at Slashdot and some of your site, and honestly I think you need to try growing up a little more and being more careful with your view of other people. Just because I can't do HTML doesn't mean I'm some unpalatable idiot.
That is an extremely arrogant point of view to have.
Britain and Japan both have amazingly good game makers and no single country really excels above the others, they're just better in some areas in general. One could argue that the US's biggest games company is EA, which most Slashdotters at least see as the lowest of the;low in terms of quality products.
Funny because ICO is one of my favourite games ever. I found it kept the old puzzle game style (Easy puzzles with non-obvious solutions that you can do in a heart beat one you realise them) and a HUGE world to explore, where everything is polished and impressive.
ICO's "greatness" comes in that it just tries to be ICO, it's not some uber deep beat em up and it's not some impossible to finish puzzle game. It's just a sleepy little world where you explore and make your way out of the castle at your own pace. Some puzzles are damn hard, some puzzles are damn easy, but the point is that if you wanted you could easily just run around a room admiring the world as easy as you could play it like a speed run.
Maybe it doesn't appeal to the mainstream, but most my friends consider ICO to be a classic because it feels and plays like nothing else. The "vibe" the game gives off is easily one of the deepest and most impressive of all the games I've played in my 15 years of gaming.
I have never understood why we have turkey at Christmas (I'm a UKian not an American so I don't do thanks giving but it applies), it's a very poor meat and far too large for the average family, so how come we do it?
I'm also allergic to dairy productions you insensitive clod!
I read as far as "W*ndoze" and then just gave up on the article. If the submitter cannot act like an adult and not a 12 year old using 'witty insulting names' (ahem) for things then I really can't be bothered to waste my time on him. This is Slashdot, a public forum full of people from all walks of life, this is not a playground, we expect at least some sort of maturity beyond the level shown in this article.
I'm very much with you on this, his point is pretty much how I feel about life, he's hit the nail on the head for me, but he's too ranty to get that point across without the anger drowning out his point.
That being said, the anger does add a nice "Fuck you world" edge to it no less.

Cellphones in Japan are a far stronger presence in the culture too, sending a text message is considered more normal than calling.

You assume everthing has been revealed, I assume there will be another 8+ secret characters as with Melee.

Some vaginas are too acidic and hence hostile, but in general they aren't hostile to it, other wise pregnancy would be extremely difficult.

Not all people are violent barbarians, some of us males enjoy pottery and 'sissy' things.
These machines will jam or run out of ink with no geeks around to fix it.

They will take notice of a sign that says "Maximum clearance" though. :)
Funny.

Some of us prefer the lack of that stuff though, not everyone works the same.
Plus you put it like Autistic people can't be good friends as it's a similar thing in many ways.
