I always go good, and never have any trouble doing it. Likewise, anytime I try to be evil, I find it so desperately hard to do that I almost always wind up at least semi-good in the end.
Believe me, if the dark path was forced on me, I'd spot it in a heartbeat.
They use the fact that teens say they play less videogames this year than last year as evidence that gameplaying is declining, when I have NEVER seen any teen, hardcore gamer or not, actually increase the amount of time they play videogames increase as they get older. Most likely because lives only get more complicated as you grow, and as such there is less time for games.
Try stacking up this year's teens against last years teens of the same age and maybe I'll start listening.
My aunt has a type of muscular dystrophy. It's really horrible to watch as her strength slowly fades. She'll have to be in a wheelchair soon. Fortunately, the particular type that she has skips every generation, so her children are free from this horrible condition. Hopefully a cure can be found before they have children of their own.
No way? How about because Toy Story was the first (and back then, only, unless I'm mistaken) widespread, popular, and acclaimed 3D Generated movie. I mean, WHAT ELSE was there to compare it to? Nothing! And that's why people compared it to that.
I never bought an XBox, and I've been telling people I'll probably buy the 360 because it'll be backwards compatible. Now I'm not sure. The 360 games announced so far aren't enough to hold it's weight, and the small number of good XBox game isn't enough to warrant a seperate purchase. And I'm all for the sleeper hits.
I think Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot on this one. Of course, I could be wrong. M$ will just be out one 360 sale.
Everybody argues over what should be taught in schools. Evolution or creationism or both? This is such a huge debate that some schools opted out period.
That is, the High School I went to didn't teach EITHER. We skipped over the evolution chapter in the textbooks for fear of a creationism uprising. So in the end only the bad came of this.
Since when has a Half Life ever even been an exclusive among consoles? HL1 was released on DreamCast, PS2 AND XBox. There is absolutely nothing even hinting at that Valve wants to make this an XBox exclusive. It's simply the case of the first man spilling the beans, most likely too early (it's in Spanish, right? Then most likely they don't have the best ties with Valve (you know, 'cause they speak English and all) and therefore could easily have slipped up when they were supposed to make it secret).
I don't think it was so much the console that's doing bad as it is the games. I mean two games is all it takes to equal the purchase of a GameCube, and Ninty really wasn't showing much in that field. Just recently they released their first party baseball and soccer games, so that'll probably help next quarter's sales.
But I think I should point out that this (last quarter) is NEVER a good quarter for ANY game company. Wait 'til fall.

It's about time our legal system personnel began to smarten up.
Yes, I believe Sony, and I believe for the PSP.

Hey, I still have to pay for it. I just get it for 2/3 the normal price.
When you work for them, you pick it up.
