I have to agree, Two Worlds had a ton of potenial. What makes it soo bad was where they did a lot of really good things with the game, the things they screwed up are things that pretty much everyone else nails down and they were really bad. To the point that I doubt most people would bother playing after 20 minutes. The voice acting, textures, and some of the controls are just so bad it seems like they didn't even try. The menues could use some work, but I can live with them. I did end up finishing the game and I feel that if they had put some effort into those three areas, it would have been a really amazing game.
you have. I don't share it and I assume I'm not alone. I'm sure there will be many who agree with you on this, and many who agree with me. Most likely quite a few who think we're both crazy as well. Not everyone has the same tastes and you can't change that, you just have to live with it and go with the games you do like.
Few of those attacking US soldiers in Iraq are from Iraq. The Iraqis are too busy killing themselves over religious issues. If you want to know who's targeting our soldiers, you need look no farther than Iran. They are doing everything they can to bog us down in Iraq because they know they're next in line. Before we even went into Iraq, Iran threatened the use of suicide bombers openly. http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=1850897http://wcbstv.com/topstories/Iran.suicide.bombers.2.268156.html
It can be if you meet the right people. My first week in EVE pretty much went like this. My friend who got me to try it out showed me the basics. Then I started making friends in the NPC corp I was in. Started doing missions with my newfound friends. About the 3rd day, one of my friends got killed by a solo pirate in a deadspace in lowsec. We got about 10-15 people together from the NPC corp, went to where my friend died, and low and behold the pirate was still there. Pop went the mighty Ferox he was flying. Then we killed his pod too. It was a huge rush for all of us, even though I'd laugh at any Ferox that tried to attack me now. Right there, I started a new corporation with the people who had formed up to kill him. We started going into lowsec hunting for pirates on a dayly basis, running missions together inbetween. I've been the CEO of an 80 man 0.0 corp, am currently in charge of the capital fleet of an alliance and own a Thanatos and Moros, but those were some of the best days of my EVE experiance.
First off, I loved Fable and can't wait for Fable 2. But the game was a bit unfinished when they released it. Also, many of the features they had said would be included were not, even in "The Lost Chapters". It is a great game, but was over hyped to the point that it came as a disappointment to many.

then mine must have been faulty. I've had it and played it regularly since it came out. It never overheats, occasionally freezes up if I leave it on for a day or so, and hasn't scratched a single game.
I haven't known a single person who actually had to send theirs in and I know a lot of gamers. I admit my old roomate's copy of Tiger Woods 07 got scratched up when the 360 got knocked over while we were playing it. I keep hearing how most of them don't work and how horrible they are, but I've seen no evidence of it myself. The few instances I have seen are something I'd expect such as freezing after being on a day or two, or the game getting scratched when the console was knocked on it's side. I'm starting to think it's just exageration due to hatered of Microsoft.
sean4u does. One of his questions was if anyone else had done the same thing and if it worked better for them. He just said his computer was really aged, that dosn't mean someone else using the same technique wouldn't have brand new hardware.
They already have allergy treatments. Basically, they give you a shot every few months. Now they're just waiting for the technology that allows you to work out in your sleep.
The mouse and keyboard would no longer be needed. You would likely be able to interface with computers much faster as well allowing people to get more work done in a day, but at the possible cost of less motion needed. People with a chip in their head could possibly work from their bed, with just a screen on the ceiling. Advances in robotics will allow robot servants. They already have toy versions of these. Laziness is already a problem, and it will only grow as people have to do less and less. I know it's still a long way in the making, and I can't wait for things like this to become mainstream, but also fear it a little.
You try spending an overseas flight without a PSP and then tell me it's a minor inconvenience. I generally can't sleep on planes, I can't read for more than 8 hours streight which is usually only half the flight. I'll go crazy without something to keep my mind occupied. My PSP has been a saving grace while flying and long flights are the only reason I bought extra batteries for it.
I don't know about that. There are jobs right now where people regularly work very weird hours that are always changing and manage well enough. Monday, I got off work and went to sleep at the time I got to work today and I work 8 hour+ days. It takes some adjustment and dosn't work any miracles for your social life, but you get used to it. I think the length of the year would have even less of an effect than the length of the day.
Yes! Ban all gaming on your Campus! Then see how many people enroll with your school. I'd Imagine less than the number who transfer out. You'll get some people who wouldn't care, but I know I'd be out of there damn quick. Oh yeah, doesn't the government pay based on number of students enrolled?
And this information came from where? More people I know have been severely injured or killed in automobile accidents than anything else. As a matter of fact, I can't think of anything that even comes close. As to your personal experience, that's what I call luck. Here's some data to back it up. http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/about/about.htm
My problem is, every band I like is released by members of the RIAA. I searched for quite a while and none of my favorite bands released albums that don't light up on RIAA-RADAR. Is Sirius considered RIAA associated? DoI have to cancel that? Should I just give up on music?
Maybe if you're not constantly PVPing and at war. But if you are, you'll take losses that have to be replaced. In BoB's case, they have major capital engagements every day. In combat such as that you will take losses, no matter how good you are. I heard BoB lost 9 dreads in one engagement not long ago. Sounds big, but they have a huge capital fleet and I'm willing to bet those 9 took a lot down with them. Anyways, 9 dreads, base cost, 18 Billion, including equip, you're talking at least 30 Billion ISK in resources lost in a single day. If I know anything about BoB and thier allies, they either have most of them already replaced or about to be replaced. So they had a few T2 BPOs for I belive a month. That's maybe 10 Bil as a generous estimate? When you can lose 3 times that in a day and recover from it without much trouble, that's not a major issue in my book. Also, everyone keeps saying BoB are being favored by CCP. Supposedly, unless CCP are lieing through thier teeth, (I'm sure some foil head is going to claim they are) CCP's employies are evenly distributed between the major 0.0 alliances. If it happened with BoB, who's to say it didn't happen with ASCN, RA, or ISS and no one found out about it? A lot of people hate BoB so it wouldn't surprise me if there were a lot more people going through their dirty laundry than the other alliances. Thinking about it that way, makes sense to me that they got the bad PR.
A Sabre BPO and some T2 Ammo BPOs. While Sabres are nice and all, I prefer them of all the dictors, they aren't all that expensive. And T2 Ammo BPOs are nice, yeah, but not that big. They go for what? 2 Bil? That's not that much. If we were talking a command ship or HAC BPO, that would be serious, but we're not. They aren't the best BPOs BoB have and I highly doubt they contributed to even 5% of their income at any one time. If you think I'm wrong, take a look through their space some time in a CVO. They have all kinds of POSs mining moons. Each alliance that lives in thier space pays 6 Bil a month for the privlidge and there's a bunch of them. They control god knows how many 10/10 complexes and you can make 10 bil a week running each of those EASY.

That apparently depends on where you live. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/07/AR2006060700983_pf.html http://www1.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI64137/
Where can I get one? I need a presant for my mother in law.

You underestimate the human ability to throw away money. Mike Tyson made over 300 Million during his boxing career. He's now bankrupt.

If they stop regulating it, then the smaller companies will likely have to raise prices to cover the higher expenses.

Ok, it doesn't look like the silver hornet other than the fact they both have wings. Beyond that, they are totally different.
