I seem to remember that back in the 90s LucasArts would put out a collection of 5 or 6 games and sell them for a reduced price. There were their Star Wars bundles (which would include games like "Dark Forces," "X-Wing," "Tie Fighter," and "Rebel Assault"), and there was also at least one Adventure Bundle, with "Day of the Tentacle," "Sam and Max Hit the Road," and the Monkey Island games. I think it'd be pretty neat for LucasArts to rerelease some of those bundles - I'd definitely be interested in playing some of those again.
I'm not desperately trying to say "why did they have to kill him", I'm saying that a world where bullets either kill you or you make a full recovery is just as escapist as a world where none of the hero's die. I would like to see a movie, this or any other, where a character suffers a serioues, permenant injury and the show goes on. That's not the whole plot, he never recovers, he just learns to live with the disability and the rest of the characters learn to deal with it.
Funny, I seem to remember Simon being injured towards the end of the film, yet he didn't die. Also, Joss has done this in his shows in the past. First example that comes to mind is Xander having his popped out. He never recovers, and learns to live with it. There are other examples, too, but really - shouldn't you at least look for evidence to support your view, before spouting off something that just "sounds" intelligent?
Regardless of HDTV support, you can count on Nintendo on using quality components - all of their systems since the original NES have been insanely sturdy. My friend had his house burn down, and found a mostly-melted SNES in the wreckage - he plugged it in, and despite being charred and black, it worked perfectly. As for myself, I've had a roommate drop my GameCube onto a cement floor from 4 feet, and it worked perfectly. I've also had my little cousin drop my GBA into the toilet - once it dried it - you guessed it - worked perfectly.
I sincerely doubt that the Revolution will be of any less quality. They may not support high def, but they definitely use quality components.
First, if I'm reading the quote correctly, "HD" is referring to ability to run in High Definition, and not referring to a hard drive.
Regardless, your point does stand, and it's true that the lack of a hard drive may be a huge setback to developers - However, developers will also have to grapple with this issue on the X-Box 360, since the customer may or may not have a hard drive (depending on which bundle they purchased.)
Honestly, I believe that the lack of Hi-Def support will be a bigger drawback than the hard drive issue.
Don't be so quick with the "everyone already knows..." line. I went to an extremely conservative Christian college, and there were several gay students there. They weren't punished, expelled, or discriminated against. Instead, they were treated with utmost respect by both school officials and fellow students, and told to report ANY sort of discrmination or actions against them. Just because we don't agree with someone's lifestyle doesn't mean that we hate them.
Your comment seems to be made without thought, or without any sort of real experience apart from what you've read or "heard." Just because it may the prevalent opinion with your social circle doesn't mean that it's true.
I myself can read an average page in about 8 to 10 seconds - I can easily see someone beating my own time. That said, I don't usually read at that speed, especially if I'm really enjoying the book.
I believe that Youth Group is now listed in the iTunes US store - however, I don't believe that they have their entire discography quite yet. Hopefully soon...
It seems to me that those objecting to Google's plans simply don't get it, nor do they have any desire to get it. The most likely scenario is they see how the **AA has been reacting to this new "online menace" and decided to blindly go on the attack, not realizing exactly what they are objecting to. To them it's simply a matter of thinking that if this sort of thing is bad for the film and recording industry, it *must* be bad for the publishing industry.

Girls? Or, more specifically, boobies?

Clearly, I need to move to the UK.

Enough is enough!
I was previously planning on purchasing both the Revolution and the PS3 - but not anymore. I guess it's Nintendo all the way, this time around.
As a "religious fundamentalist," I wouldn't have any sort of problem with this - in fact, I would be interested in injecting my OWN children with it.
Next up? A ban on all small plastic army men, water-guns, and action figures...

Heh. You've obviously never been to China - the DVDs that are currently being sold don't exactly have the backing of Hollywood, either.
