The main problem with RPGs is that if the game doesn't have Final Fantasy in the title or some other established name no publisher is going to give it the time of day unless it's an MMO, or more Action based. You have the old school of turn based RPGs thats dieing, Action RPGs (Bioshock, Dead Space, Fallout 3 etc), and the new school of RPGs that are MMOs. They are effectively still turn based, but at least things are a little smoother now. There is no excuse to keep turn based RPGs like FF around. They were turn based originally because of HARDWARE LIMITATIONS!!! Seriously...the old guard of RPGs needs to go...of course this is coming from the guy that just beat Lost Odyssey a while back...
You wern't around for the $70 NES games were you? Games get cheaper with the wider appeal. The $60 a game crap now is biting game companies in the ass, and they honestly deserve it. Drop it back to $50, and you'll see sales surge. Hell, I saw the Force Unleashed on 360 for $50 new in Target. You bet your ass I picked it up too!
Yeah...they never do any wrong. They got their way with lead solder, and now any components that get hot with any regularity end up having half the lifespan previous electronics had. Sure we end up buying twice as many electronics, but hey! The trace levels of lead in something your supposed to recycle even without lead are gone!
This is likely due to what happened with the originators of Portal. Valve picked up the students from Digi-Pen after seeing a primitive version of the game that the students made.
They most certainly aren't. Here is my gripe though. I paid $60 for Gears of War 2. In my purchase price was the commonplace assumption that my game has some monetary value if I want to sell it. With these one time use codes that lock parts of the game to my console (5 maps, and 2 guns) that will impact the resale value of my purchase. This was all done without notifying the customer that would happen. Or ya know, the ability to loan my game to friends, and have them able to play everything I can.
On a more realistic note though. I doubt I will ever sell Gears of War 2 (I don't sell or trade my games usually), but that's pretty flipping stupid. Especially since I like loaning my games out. Expect lawsuits from this bout of stupidity.
Access to it is not the same as freedom of choice. To be serious though, I'm all for allowing all of the above marriages of course with the exception of the child option. That's just flat out pedophilia. We'll note your attempts to drag children into the equation is pathetic, and you need to have your head checked for even using it as a defense. But whatever friend, your rhetoric is the same bile bandied about when people were trying to block marriages between whites & blacks. It's always good to know history repeats itself. Without gays to hate, I wonder what your bigot children, and grandchildren will be left to hate when they grow up.
You said something interesting there. Marriage has "evolved" for over 10,000 years of human society. This realistically is the next step in said evolution. Allowing two guys or two women to join hands in marriage doesn't destroy marriage, it just allows everyone equal access to that privilege. It just ends up weeding their DNA out of the genepool which is a form of evolution. I have plenty of gay friends, and could care less about who they like to sleep with. My sexual preference is a woman, and theirs isn't. Whats the big deal? Marriage is supposedly about love.
Ahhh, but whatever...always gota hate something. If you take people's public ability to be racist away they gota have something else they can outwardly hate.
This is nothing new. They pulled this crap years ago when home routers were becoming all the rage. I had a client give me one of their routers saying it was busted that every 30min or something like that directed me to their sales page for the service. Sleezeballs, never liked their hardware anyways. Prone to overheating allot in my experience.
Try to hold a weekly KKK meeting in said park, and you'll see how fast the private owner will kick you out. Private park owners can, and will take action against anything they deem undesirable. A private park is a public space, Youtube is a privately held public space too, but the owners of both can say what you can, and can't do on their property at the drop of a hat. So please, shut the hell up.
Your one of those asshats who get banned from message boards for starting flame-wars, and then scream censorship aren't you? If you are an asset at a private location, you will be tolerated, if you become a nuisance, or cause a loss of money, you will be removed.
Oh, and Adverse Possession is a concept for REAL ESTATE. Not a public space held by a private company. It's a law to punish people who buy land, and never do anything with it. It allows someone else to move onto their land, and claim ownership after FOUR uninterrupted years of doing various things. PLEASE LEARN TO READ!!!
Lacks subtlety? What Japanese stuff are you watching? I am currently in Tokyo, and those shows often annoy me because they all contain the same type of subtlety. Yes they try to be over the top with loud sounds and bright colors that make me want to go blind. Yet there's this constant running undertone of subtlety in almost everything. Didn't really notice it until I finally got off my ass & started speaking this hellish language. I still don't understand the subtle crap that underpins almost everything, but I at least know how to deal with it. Hell, even ordering my flipping food has that underpinning.
360, but if the pary counterattack doesn't work, just never fight with your blade out. It requires a bit more risk, but the evade & instant kill on 10 foes in a row is immensely gratifying imo.
Eh? I loved the game, but it was easy as hell. Even the part you speak of. Just pary, instant kill. Oce I figured that out halfway through the game, fighting was almost pointless.
Orrrr just buy a USB plug in charger for the wall. Hell, buy one with multiple charging ports for USB. Cheaper, easier, and wastes allot less power. But maybe thats just not dorky enough for some. It's too elegant.
No contradiction, just the truth that the earth changes continuously. People who scream the sky is falling with GW subscribe to the idea that the Earth's temperature only goes in one direction. This, we know is simply not true.
Orrrr when you do everything yourself you just told the parent to do, others might be swayed by your superiority complex. Global warming, cooling, it's bullshit since the Earth is not static. Were always going to be in one cycle or the other. Simple mater is people need to minimize their mark. Till then, you can bitch at people all you want, and your nothing more than another circle-jerker on/.
It was Global Cooling back in the 70s. Global warming has the same kind of "theories" just in the opposite direction tempraturewise. Please do feel free to read up on it. The facts are that it cooled in the 70s, and is warming now. I'm not saying for a moment we don't need to cover our asses, and treat the planet a bit better, but GW is a crock of shit. This planet has had more periods of cooling & warming than we can count long since before humans could put such huge amounts of pollution in the air.
Hell, Iraq even used to be a green paradise. The climate changed long ago however, and it's a desert for the most part now. You don't get what was the cradle of human life in a desert.

Really? This is rational?

Ignore the GP...hes the type who eats up the Greenpeace garbage without thinking. He knows not how stupid what he says!

A little more suitable I think than home underwater...

Yeah the Wii is SOOOOO last decade.
What podunk town do you live in? I live in Las Vegas...well normally Vegas (in Tokyo now), and I've never seen one station that didn't have Deisel.

I think that's a pre-requisite to learning this language. I think I remember checking a box regarding that in the TOS.

I feel stupid, I can't figure this out. All I can get it to do is spin.
STOP!!! My brain it hurts!!!
I like to think I'm smart, but I so can't wrap my head around this right now.

You do know the mother's maiden name isn't supposed to be her maiden name right? Your supposed to just have a codeword essentially at that point.
