Boll says the point is that his movies get better as his career progresses - Dungeon Siege is "ten times better" than BloodRayne, which is ten times better than House of the Dead, and so on.
"There is no reason whatsoever to license CD's, but the reason for this is not obvious.
The truth is that there cannot be meaningful competition in the field of music stores because all the music comes from the same handful of sources. There is no way for the different stores to have a meaningfully different collection or meaningfully different price structure. They could license CD's , but that merely obscures the fact that the music industry is still in control of the entire process.
Given a lack of competition in the music industry, opening up the CD would not actually create more customer choice; rather, it reduces their leverage on the industry and we can assume that the music industry will keep the extra power for itself. Without control over the CD, They have nothing and the music industry will force everyone toward things like subscription services, whole-album downloads, and probably higher prices."
Yeah that sounds just as stupid if you insert something else...
Its just standard procedure. I'm surprised they gave you a day. Banks walk you out the moment you give them your notice. So get your papers in order before you resign if you want to be professional about it.
Oh Noes! You'll have to get up off the couch. I seem to remember having to do this for some PS2 games, PS1 games, whole bunch of compgames, and just about anything that used a floppy. Of course Higher-Res stuff is going to take up more room.
I can add bookmarks to delicious with their javascript bookmark. I can add links to images in my blog by just clicking a button. I can do everything else with a simple firefox extension. Or not if I don't want to. When they say they'll get affiliate fees through amazon do they mean they will add their affiliate tag everytime you go there? Not enough information. Hopefully I'll get picked so I can try it out.
Most websites are created by someone you don't know, often about something you don't care about, but that hasn't stopped 'web publishing' from becoming a remarkably ubiquitous phenomenon. There are even websites about websites such as Google. It looks like everyone wants their fifteen minutes of fame online. Estimates put the number of websites to be in the tens of millions, with several factors influencing the count, such as whether a website is available for public or private consumption. Carl Bialik investigates the intricacies of counting websites, and shows how website indexing sites like Google and Delicious are bursting at the seams with thousands of new Website entries everyday.
They just called you a baka gaijin behind your back. Another unwritten rule is that you don't use soy sauce on white rice. It's considered an insult to the chef...

You've never heard of shuttle have you?
Its just because Dell and Friends are cheap... And to be honest thats what most people want. A Cheap Gray Case. At least the majority of computer illiterates I've met.
You want a good Case go with antec or lianli. You want a SFF you go with shuttle. Just because the Biggies don't sell it doesn't mean its not there. I love my lanboy... there are entire threads of people drooling over the new antec cases at hardocp.
Am I the only person on this big ball of water, rock and vegetation crawling with meat incrusted skeletons we call god's green earth that thinks the latest Zelda is a complete and total sell out?
What the hell is up with the ultra-realistic graphics that make it look like every other 3D game on the market, completely lacking in any true style or sense of art direction. Zelda always seemed to Zig when everyone else was Zagging, thumbing its nose at the the latest trends, yet continuing to rack up huge sales, prestige and envy among developers.
Now, it seems to have hopped on the bandwagon heading straight to the bus stop called mediocrity.
Of course, this doesn't stop the throbbing teenage boy-masses from jumping up and down, proclaim it the most amazing thing they've seen since the last most amazing thing they saw.
If you look at the trailer, it's filled with creatures, textures and buildings that could be seamlessly exchanged with any other 3D boy-mass game, which in my opinion, is the real failing of 3D games. This crazy quest to attain realism just serves to water everything down until it is all indistinguishable from anything else. An off-white paint that covers the walls of cube-like apartments in cookie-cutter neighborhoods.
There is more to art direction than realistic textures and colored lights placed in strange places to show off a render engine. Maybe once we have achieved the nirvana of realism in games, we can start exploring something different, something more emotionally rewarding. But until then, I can't help but feel that any game not on the death march to realism won't get the coveted "best graphics I've ever seen" award and be relegated to the "this game sucks" stamp of hard-core gamer approval.
Zelda always stood out and up against the herd-think. No matter which McGame game out the spigot, you could always point to Zelda. No more.
Slashdot Mirror
Corba!
Just out of interested curiosity have they released a RTS for the DS yet? I'd heard rumblings about a few, but I've yet to see a cartridge.
Stylus Centric, you mean like the Nintendo DS?
"but its also a Pocket PC type device so you get the best of both worlds"
did this guy bother to check anything at all? The Zodiac ran Palm OS. It says so right on their front page
And yet you can still by large glass bottles on the other side of the gate...
Psst... 10 times 0 is still 0...

Or that they used Trillian instead of Gaim even though they are funding them...
Oh, really? So how are those slimline Ps2's working? Article

So basically we have to beg for features now?

or they could switch to macs... Last time I checked blizzard is pretty friendly with apple...
I remember reading about this in a couple game magazines 1-2 years ago minimum. It would have had to have been on Vivendi's radar for awhile...
It's interesting that the US release date for Mario Kart is November 14, yet Japan waits till December 8th. Even Europe gets it before Japan... Weird

I like the fact that he is hosting this on blogspot, which as we all know is owned by google. It's really sorta brilliant when you think about it.
Now Companys will actually have a reason to be worried about camera phones...

You never know, They could still pull an E out of their hat. It doesn't look anymore violent the OOT, just more realistic...
