Ah, you mean a one-time pad. Totally unbreakable encryption, but it aptly named, as it loses that quality if you encrypt more than one message with it.
Variety. Waving around an IR-sensitive, motion-sensitive stick is useful for some purposes that other interfaces can't handle, but the same is true of virtually any input device. This has its own niche to fill.
I've managed to avoid a RROD for over a year now, which makes me wonder if I'm perhaps treating my console better than some other RROD victims are. What sort of things would cause those different parts to fail?
Everybody's got their own reasons, but for me, it was the fact that every time you approached a given situation, it was different. There were so many ways to approach situations, and the AI was just unpredictable and dynamic enough when you weren't looking, that you couldn't walk down the same corridor three times without getting in three vastly different fights, each of which is interesting and precisely as challenging as you want to make it. It was even more like that with the Big Daddy encounters, which could happen anywhere.
And to think, I probably wouldn't have noticed this particular strong point if the earlier releases of it didn't periodically lock up, before the patches. It would have just struck me as a very dense sequence of decent scripted events. I guess there's an upside to everything.
The other thing I noticed was that things in your environment mean a lot to the gameplay. The way you can make use of the environment in so many different ways isn't quite apparent in the demo, where they have to focus first on showing that you can interact with the environment (set a splicer on fire and it will run to the nearest water, where you can electrocute them in one hit) than the immense versatility of what you can do with it, especially with the more advanced plasmids.
It's a game you can play with intelligence and foresight if you want, or as a twitch shooter if you don't, and it's different every time.
I hope that when Fry institutes a 20% open-box charge on returns, that everybody look this guy up and send him a thank you note. Wrapped around a bowling ball. ...Delivered by catapult, I assume?
Helped me waste 3 minutes writing a response on slashdot that will be modded to -35, for retard. Please. The only way to get modded that low is to support both the war and Microsoft.
On the one hand, finally, a competitive level of Internet service.
On the other hand, Verizon.
Well, it's a non-issue for me, since I'm not in any of those states, but it'll give me time to think about it between now and when (if) they start offering it in my area.
There's one main reason, and that's multiplayer. You get used to the physics in time, and once that's over with, you're left with a multiplayer game where there's always people willing to play, with fairly good balance, a diverse variety of tactically interesting situations, some of which are unique to the series, and a pace that is considerably less intense (hence, to some, more enjoyable) than its PC counterparts. A well-produced piece of pulp sci-fi fluff rounds out a competent single-player campaign that does a good job of showing off the sorts of mechanics that become significant in multiplayer.
I don't like it myself, but that's mainly because it's impossible to play it without being called a faggot by a nine-year-old, not because of any particular flaw in the game's design.
Picked up Metroid Prime 3 yet? There's depth aplenty there, and despite looking better than its predecessors, it's always going at 60 frames per second. Controls are fantastic - I'd say it's about time the Wii showed off what it can do, and Metroid Prime 3 does this admirably.
Because every person not working on building a moon rocket is going to devote their full attention to cleaning up the environment and helping the poor, and mankind can only do one thing at a time. Right.
If the worst thing that can be said about a game is that it is too much like System Shock 2, then that means it is an excellent game. Complaining about that seems to be like saying, "Man, I wish this candy weren't so delicious."

Stop using that tag? Yeah. That's a great idea. What could possibly go wrong?
According to the article, all twenty-six of the test subjects were male, and half had this particular gene.

I wasn't aware that there were people out there who liked shooters at all but didn't like Half-Life 2. So, who, exactly, has been calling you a twit?

So... the Clinton effect? No, wait, the Huckabee effect! No, maybe it's....
If you give personal information away freely, is it really accurate to call taking it theft?
Of course, what defrauders do with it might constitute stealing. But that's less "identity theft" and more "money theft" if you ask me.
How often do you call your own phone number?
"impeachchenyfirst"?
I see it's not just the editors who don't check spelling.

Fie! That is nothing but a statistically insignificant minor fluke.
There's much more to environmentalism than global warming.
Because there's no such thing as a third-party candidate or a write-in. Right.
Good advice for preventing infection, but how, again, does a person find out if they're already infected?

is that they are very rarely "micro."
