And one of the 'six' movies, is in its 2nd week since its release date. It has made a box office of $180 mil of a $190 mil budget. It still hasn't not released in Japan or China. Let's not for get the DVD sales and merchandising. Hardly a flop.
I see a whole army of my slashdotters, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to type as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you type?
Type? Against that? No! We will use the Shift Key. And we will live.
Aye, type and you may die. Use the Shift Key, and you'll live... at least a while. And typing away on your Chrome Notebook in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell Google that they may take our CAPS LOCK, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
CAPS LOCK GU BRATH!!!
I for one welcome our Lunar Overlord, Al Gore - First Emperor of the Moon, Rider of the Great Moon Worm. He shall give me a bag of sapphires after warning the Empire of this preemptive strike
But, though pacman was popular, were 3D graphics even in existance? Wasn't Wolfenstein, released in 1992 the first game with 3D graphics?
The early arcade first-person shooter Battlezone was released in 1980, and it might not even be the first.
Actually there was a rare game in 1983, I, Robot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Robot_(arcade_game), that did have filled 3-D polyhedral graphics and shading.
I did have the chance to play it when it was released a local arcade in Orange County, CA.
It had 2 modes of playing, Game mode and Ungame mode- which was basically a 80's version of MS Paint.
OK,/.'ers, since 99% of you AREN'T lawyers and don't know the first thing about law suits
Wow, 99%?
Obviously you AREN'T a pollster or statistician and don't know first thing about statistics. I suggest to stick to the lucrative field of phrenology.
And if you do make it to the planet- you will be constantly fighting with the factions the arisen from the in-fighting in space.
While that is going on- then you have to watch out for those psychic worms trying to protect the semi-sentient planet.
The classes available are typical to what you'd find in most MMOGs; With good reason, as most MMOGs stole their class concepts from D&D in the first place.
2005 set a record for console game sales while also being one of the worst years ever for PC's for a reason. World of Warcraft has 5.5 million subscribers for a reason.
It was the worst years for retail sales of PC's. If you include the electronic distrubution, like Steam, and the profit collected from subscription based games - the PC's profits would look a lot different.
Don't bury PC as a gaming platform any time soon - the media & data gathering groups need to think outside the console box.

Congress should take a lesson from grade school: Read the whole bill, then give an oral report in front of the class.
You know when the time comes to give their reports, you're going to hear so many, "Umm... Mrs Speaker-Of-The-House....umm.. my dog ate my homework.."
Here's a video of the P905i in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6J5EtiQ1ps
Do not speak of Emperor Gore like that... He has ridden the mighty Moon worm!
Wouldn't that make premise for a great game!
Why don't they post a story about who's dad can beat up another dad
With this in media, this would be a good time for the Egyptian government to asking the British museum to return the "borrowed" Egyptian relics.
Don't forget to remind to bring a sandwich down too..
