  1. Re:In other news on Valve's Gabe Newell Speaks on Console Development · · Score: 0

    In other news, Sony criticizes Gabe Newell and Microsoft how difficult it is to have decent security. In other news, the founders of all spoken language came back to life and slaughtered the internet. Another thing, I don't see the problem with Steam. I don't have to worry about patches, I don't have to deal with the guy at the counter complaining because I'm not 17 and he wants to enforce a pointless law. To me, Steam is the best thing since loaves of risen grain were cut into pieces that were individually digestible. You can complain all you want, but as long as you have a decent internet connection, Steam is the best we've got. At least this way you don't have to worry about connecting to a server that hasn't been patched. Also, complaining about having to install and customize PC games, think of this. You can play Halo PC (legally) for free online whenever. Halo 2 is something you have to pay for. Also, you can run various things on a PC at the same time, like playing a game while talking to your girlfriend (oh, wait, you probably don't have one) on an instant messenger. When a console allows me to run an MP3 player, chat on IM, edit pictures, write a news story, manage a website, look at bash.org and play Wolfenstein at the same time, I'll start using one instead of my PC. Oh, and I have to be able to access the whole internet (except for paid sites), and play games online (except for MMOs like WoW) for free. And it has to be customizable, not the kind of thing that I have to replace in a few years anyway. I almost forgot that I have to have a choice on what software and hardware goes into it, so there's competition for who has the best parts and they keep getting better. Still disagree?

  2. Rockstar is not helping their situation on Jack Thompson Weighs In On Hot CoffeeGate · · Score: 0

    After all this scandal I was just watching Comedy Central, and maybe they've been showing these ads for a while and I'm just tuning in, but I saw an ad for GTA: San An. Not a good thing if you're caught up in a scandal. Now people who see the ad and want it will be shocked and sue when they find out that there's a sex game scandal.

  3. Re:Test Market on Big Retailers Timid About Selling Linux Boxen · · Score: 0

    I agree with the demographics and using columbus as a test center, but Micro Center isn't the best place to go for customer service. There is a reason why I do all the technical shopping for my family, because the staff at Micro Center (both) tends to be degrading towards people who don't know what they're talking about (and younger people like me, who do know what they're talking about).

    Now I need to take a trip to Micro Center

  4. Re:Am I a criminal? on Congress Declares War on File Leakers · · Score: 0

    The Courts most likely won't toss it. Tack "family" onto something and you've got the patriotism/values nazis on you. Just like the Patriot Act, nobody wanted to shoot that down. The Patriot act could've banned toenails and it would've passed at that time. In conclusion, I should RTFA, and certain words should be banned from acts of congress

  6. Wow, I'm blind on E3 Expo Space Sells Out · · Score: 1

    I saw "E3 Expo Sells Out" and immediately thought "So they're going to have rappers and pop artists making appearances and change it from a videogame expo to one of pop culture, I expected this." E3 better not sell out.

  7. Actors on Halo Movie Script in the Works · · Score: 1

    Matt Damon as Master Cheif? I never played Halo very much in the storyline, but they would have to add in some kind of love interest in there. Jennifer Garner

  8. Re:You gotta be kidding me. on U.S. Plans to Tighten Nuclear Power Plant Security · · Score: 1

    I thought the exact same thing. Is this a coincidence? I think not.
