I carry on totally off the wall conversations about nothing and everything in Halo 2 when I'm playing ranked games online. I don't see where your complaint comes from. There's this thing, it's called being good at the game you're playing, and it lets you not be forced to be 100% serious and 'in teh zone' when you're playing it.
If Ness isn't nerfed to shit like he was in SSB:M, and the online is done right, I may need a new pair of pants every time I play.
On that note, they raped Ness in SSB:M compared to SSB for the 64. He was the most underrated character, yet one of if not the most powerful in the hands of someone who knew how to play him correctly. Psychic Bubble body slam = impossible to block, and extremely hard to dodge:)
I didn't know they had fisheries for the last, oh lets say...10,000yrs? or however long human's have had the ability to fish. I also seem to remember this type of people, they were called nomads I think, they traveled from place to place especially when resources became scarce.
I guess noone is taking into account the fact that it costs orders of magnitude less to live in the places where people are making $1000 a year or amounts that would be impossible to survive upon in a First World country. They make so little BECAUSE their economy is based around making so little. I'm personally sick of this bleeding heart crap where it's all "OMFG You make xx,xxx per year, but these people make $1 an hour making the things you buy, FEEL BAD FOR THEM!" I'm sorry, but their economy is based around a lower income level and just because YOU can't fathom living on that much, people around the world do it just fine.
Anarchy Online already does this. They just display game ads on billboards ingame. I fail to see the problem with this and why people are crying/up in arms over it.
Alexander Graham Bell did *not* invent the telephone, he was the most publicized creator of it though. It was originally invented in Europe and somehow Bell invented his a short time later and got to take all the credit.
Same goes for Edison and the light bulb, originally done in Europe, but because he was American (most likely reason I can think of for both, the same goes for a slew of other American 'firsts', including the Wright brothers), he got to take all the credit in the history books.
Police and local governments are asking for this, not private citizens and no private citizen should have this type of thing, specifically for the reasons you mentioned, and that means ALL the reasons you mentioned.
Wrong. They do what any other smart company would do to become successful in the way that they did. The reason all the other companies are pissed at them is because, get this, Microsoft did it first. The same goes for any other extremely successful business or corporation, they are loathed for their success.
Dirty Tricks? Welcome to the real world. Everything isn't fair and nice like some idealists think it should be. Kill or be killed are the two options in this game, and doing everything you are capable of doing to not be killed is the idea.
The only people who refer to it as casting are generally worthless safety managers and site managers, not people involved with the actual construction work that is done, ie, pencil pushers and 'gotta meet my quota or I get fired' inspectors. Not trashtalking you here, it's just from my short stay in the construction field that's how *everyone* feels about those people.
I use a pair of scissors to cut off a corner of the packaging with enough space for me to fit atleast 3 fingers from each hand into it, and then HULKRIP! tear it in half down the seams.
My other favorite is to just take a butcher knife and chop it, always fun:)
If you aren't a completely worthless excuse for a driver, and have your mirrors setup right, you shouldn't have to turn your head to begin with, and secondly, why would you even bring that up at all?
What would be the possible point of giving them cellular jamming equipment? It would serve almost no useful purpose at all. Do people seriously believe there will be a time where it will be useful? That terrorists will launch some form of attack that isn't a 1 2 hit, like a ground assault or something? People need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that this kind of thing is ridiculous and retarded.
I worked in construction with my dad from April till September this year doing nothing but building/setting up forms for concrete. Not once was the word cast used, it was only referred to as forming by the atleast 100+ people I met and talked to.
No offense, but Red Alert was one of the prime introducers of the bane of RTS's, tank rushing. It's true that the C&C games up until Generals were fun, but by no means groundbreaking or original other than C&C95. If you want a truly original and good RTS, try Total Annihilation.
I don't see your problem. My friend's 360 is in his basement, and we ran a 50+foot cord from the router to his 360. I have a 30footer in my own house from the router to the hub in my room with my comp/xbox off of that.
Yes video games cause heightened aggression during and shortly after play. The thing is, almost noone acts upon those urges against other people unless that person *is already fucked in the head.*
No offense to you or other lucas fans, but he's a washed up has been, nothing more.
Even with the effects parts of fights in the newer star wars, they were not that good. I could tell every single wire move. They would have done MUCH better to hire people who could do those kinds of acrobatics normally to do them as stunt doubles instead of using the horrible wire acts they did. Hell, the fight with Dooku I thought I was watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or one of a variety of other crappy chinese wire-batics movies.
Last I remembered there are hundreds of billions of stars in the universe, and thousands if not millions of galaxies out there. The situation earth was in is hardly unique in such a large set of data (can't think of a good way to put it, just woke up!). We've been hearing everytime they come up with a new reason for life forming 'omg guys, we are unique!' Sorry, but we are not unique in the fact that life is on the planet, it's a statistical(sp?) impossibility. We may be unique in our forms of life, aerobic respiration, and many other parts of our ecological systems may be utterly incompatible with alien life forms, more than likely they are incompatible, but by no means is the very fact that life exists here unique.

Starvation? Did the 20th/21st centuries cause people to suddenly forget how to take care of themselves by fishing, farming, and hunting?

And odds are they won't be placed in games where they will be out of place such as WoW.

No wonder the PS3 was hard to find, they shipped half of the available consoles to one store!

Looks like I forgot to use the world "probably" in there.

They tarnished their image when they took over Ultima Online and added Trammel and all the other 'carebear hold my hand' updates.
When I played it I REALLY tried to like it, but just couldn't. I found it abominally(sp?word?) slow paced and just simply not fun.
