I wonder how the religious fanatics will taste their victory in a few generatiosn when there isn't enough food to go around. Are they going to summon Jesus to make water into wine and to multiply their harvest? Multiplying out of control coupled with global warming should prove to be most unpleasent. Maybe it's time we all opt-out of reproduction to save alteast our offsprings fromt he horrors.
When I was 12 my mother bought me Mortal Kombat II. I did not realize this then, but now I see it as yet another incident in a pattern of bad parenting behavior.
"OK, I have never played SL. I take it that SL is just some VR game? So, people actually pay real money so the can get a better "life" in SL? Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Can anyone say...... loser? "
Real life already has the same concept in place: It's called Religion. I suggest you go enlighten them aswell.
I tis true that 99% of them are pure crap. But there are few winners like Alien Apocalypse starting Bruce Campbell http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0404756/
This is one of my favorite movies ever.
It's a lot easier to obey traffic laws in real life than in GTA. If anything it will make people better drivers. But it sets them up for a huge disappointment when they are a victim of a crime and they find out first hand how inadequate real life police force is when compared to Vice City.
The psychological motive is different. If you are in a plane crash, most likely you WILL die, unless it's a freakw ater landing or the plane is still 10 feet off the ground. But in a car crash there is a good chance you will walk away. That is why flying is scares people, myself included. If something goes wrong, you are pretty much screwed. And Im not a fan of that feeling.
I always thought some sort of a giant rail gun can launch nuclear waste somewhere where it won't bother us for a while. But it seems a bit sci-fi for now.
If it is indeed how they say, than I sympathize with them. I just hope they are not making stuff up as an excuse to put totally ridiculous copy protection ont heir games in order to increase sales. I realy doubt that copy protection will increase sales that much. People who pirate have been doing so for so logn they no longer would purchase a game at all. Well maybe they would buy one game instead of pirating 10.
Regardless, I hate piracy. I have no problem paying for a game in order to support future development of whatever genre I am interested in. The fact that the games are expensive only makes me a more careful customer. I will not purchase bad games, and I try to do as much homework before a purchase as I can. Nothing beats a demo in my opinion. Whenever I come across someone who is using an illegal copy, I let them really have it. Even if they are my friends. In the end if they cause the end of the PC game market, I will be the one who is hurt the most. I am the one putting in lot of money by purchasing games in hopes of seeing sequals for years to come. They get the game for free and wouldn't give a damn if there is a sequal or not. And if one comes, they will just pirate that.
No thanks, you will never again sell me into this glorified Faction based conflict. Where you are teamed with people who obviously have a smaller IQ than a ficus, and you can't jsut run your sword through them and take their items.
Yep Firefox is awsome for this site... excpet for the 2 exemption errors that blew up the application twice now. But it can't be perfect. If Blizzard made somethign like a Linux client, I would expect it to blow up a lot aswell.
But soon they will sell all this data to telemarketers! Second you log into WoW you will be spammed with/tells about making your penis larger and reducing your debts! And I wouldn't even touch the mailbox!

You get to throw the book at them :)
Too bad those warning lables are more like a badge of honor for an album.
At what point will they realized they don't need to keep credit card numbers after transaction has taken place...
So before video games, what did they blame what the crazy people did on?

That's why a protest doesn't do anything, you need a riot.
I am at a point in my WoW playing where I would welcome a ban with open arms.
When PsP came out I decided I woudl get it IF I could find one game for it that I would play. Years later I gave up my search.
If we bring back duels to the death for matters of honor, this kind of thing will not happen anymore.
I fear for my pornography!
Does no one else wonder why the hell is this 30% more expensive?!
With devs makign the money for themselves and their cronies. No thanks!

Obivously they weren't that smar tto begin with. Or else they would have sent alien chimps first! Then again maybe they did....

I'm not a fan of Take Two and their shoddy publishing, but it's about time!
