Destroyed? He will have a book, a movie, a star in the hall of fame a squeegy doll made on his image and his daughter will get arrested for drugs or pregnant before we know it and he is still going to be richer than all of us....
It is sad that one of the oldest gaming companies in the world has become so shortsighted as to punish a group of students using as inspiration one of the best games ever made, by a bunch of students that want to honor "Pac-Man" by recreating it on Scratch. Not to sell it but to learn. Shame on you Namco (and your lawyers), too bad non of your games now are worth even pirating otherwise i would wish that to you.
Also if you want help with people helping you test your iPhone Apps, have them download the app AdHoc, and have them put an email of your choice, then you can include their iPhone UDID's on your build so they can test them for you.
That is the problem with Black Hat "Hackers" today... They are way too honest for their own good. Heck in back in my day, we would have all gotten in that conference for free, and we would be on our way to Paris to discuss it.
This is why I reserved my copy on a store. Since the "hardmedia" copy will have both the windows and mac version, I will be able to put it on my wife's gaming PC (downstairs) and my Mac Pro (upstairs) and not have to deal with downloading it later. Aside that the 2nd reason is putting th box next to my SC1 Battlechest:]
Wow, $100million dollars and STILL couldn't afford to include LAN play. No worries, someone will do it for them free;)
This comment is a bit of a Troll I think. It is misleading to think that due to economic reasons Blizzard didn't include LAN play on Starcraft II... I found the response Bob Pardo gave when asked about LAN play on Starcraft II:
"However, when asked if LAN is ever going to be introduced in SC2, Pardo simply said that everyone else (his development team) had accepted the fact that SC2 would not have a LAN mode. He knows that the general public is going to be angry over this, but he had also commented that “no one would know how much of a deal until the game comes out. The Starcraft team firmly believes that LAN is not much of a deal, though. There’s a lot of people out there I think that are just afraid that they’re suddenly not going to be able to connect to the internet tonight and they won’t be able to play. I actually think that case is extremely rare, and I think we’re going to be okay.”
However, there are always the case of LAN parties. You know, getting together and have some massive LAN gaming, instead of trying to connect to the internet. Pardo knows this, and he had said that these are legitimate issues that are going to be addressed over time. While there is no real word on how the whole thing would work, he had mentioned that it might be possible that the new Battle.NET service would be able to detect your connection and determine if you’re close to each other. If you are close to one another, it’s might be possible to set up a peer-to-peer game.
I am pretty sure that one of the reasons why they didn't include LAN play was the whole online and social development idea going on since Facebook jumped to fame. It is worth noting that Blizzard is also betting a pretty coin on Facebook, because its tightly integrated to the "invite your friends to play" feature.
It's T E C H N O L O G Y.... geez, its not perfect and it will always have glitches... specially magical revolutionary devices... Take a look at blondes... [ducks].
Why on earth you want Blu-Ray when you can stream HD Movies, either through iTunes or other Liberal ways. My blu-Ray player is gathering dust under my tv because all my content is digital.
its different as you only install PlayOn on your computer, and configure it with your accounts to use netflix, youtube, hulu, etc. and you get the content on your tv, through your console. you should try it, it comes with a 14 day trial period.
Boxee is a cross-platform freeware media center software with a 10-foot user interface and social networking features designed for the living-room TV. Boxee is a fork of the free and open source XBMC media center software which Boxee uses as an application framework for its GUI and media player core platform, together with some custom and proprietary additions. Marketed as the first ever "Social Media Center", Boxee enables its users to view, rate and recommend content to their friends through many interactive social networking features. The current version is Alpha but works very well. You can register for free on their website. Also the beta version of Boxee will be released for all platforms on December 7th 2009.
PlayOn gets your favorite Internet Videos off your computer screen and onto your TV. Download and try out PlayOn for free for 14 days. All you need is a home networked PC and a DLNA-compatible device — like a PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, or Moxi HD DVR. We've also announced PlayOn for Wii public beta.
My Notes:
At home we have two Xbox360's and we stream content to them from PlayOn. From a budget perspective view PlayOn is the way to go if you have consoles at home. PlayOn only costs $39.99 and to configure it its a onetime setup which is pretty straight forward. You can also download free plugins from PlayOn Plugins. At my home we currently we use Netflix, Hulu, Cartoon Network and a bunch others). Once you got your settings configured, you go into your console and in the Video section you will see a "Channel" that looks like "yourPCName:Playon" when you select it you will see all the options you configured to watch. It works as advertised and works very well. I have another 360 that got banned in my bedroom with a 36" LCD and it works great.
Boxee, I used it for a while, but I never had a PC/Mac dedicated just for that... It is pretty good and there is lots of support... One thing is that Boxee is free.
yeah i didnt have a nintendo... I was busy playing with my Apple IIe at the time playing games like Elite, Castle Wolfenstein or tackling with Pascal... =)

What the world needs is a "free" tablet. Now that would be a kicker.
Everybody, let's go get laid...

Actually achievements will be a part of the single player campaign as well.

Have you ever used Mathlab? http://www.mathworks.cn/access/helpdesk_r13/help/base/install/mac/inst_mac.html
Find another job and work your ass off so your child has an unparalled education.
They just can't live without an iPad.
It serves netflix, hulu and a bunch others...
its different as you only install PlayOn on your computer, and configure it with your accounts to use netflix, youtube, hulu, etc. and you get the content on your tv, through your console. you should try it, it comes with a 14 day trial period.
you can't download the app. You have to order it through netflix... I know because I ordered it too... it's free though.
you also can use PlayON to stream down Netflix to PS3 and Xbox360... extremely useful if your 360 got banned.

Ubisoft's CEO seems to have his head so far up his a$$ that he gets high on his own "perfume".
Well he is French, where do you think his head would be?
Well now the 360 has the large market share... what can I tell you... [shrugs]
yeah i didnt have a nintendo... I was busy playing with my Apple IIe at the time playing games like Elite, Castle Wolfenstein or tackling with Pascal... =)
Well I did play FF7 on the PS1... =) but the rest... I couldnt...
