This isn't about censorship, or even copyright really. Youtube will 'cave' to any polite request to have a movie taken down, provided you can give some creds to prove you made it. This is much more an issue of common courtesy, but then, that doesn't make for pop journalism.
Why isn't it just another setting? Sure, the defaults could be generally agreed upon. But why make everyone use the same set of pinches and twirls? I thought this new technology was supposed to obsolete rigid things like keyboards.
Free ad-laden games in the future? No. Expensive ad-laden games more likely. Macropayments divy the game into 20 $5 chunks instead of a single $60 buy.
Imagine: "Level complete! Use 500 points for level 2?" "This level brought to you by Mountain Dew"
Anyone who has ever worked retail during the American Holiday Season would be more than willing to use war-analogies towards retail. Okay that sounds kinda fun, so I will:
Trench Combat
Lots of people
Shooting bullets at you
Hot and muddy
You are going to die
Retail Combat
Lots of people
Shooting mean looks at you
Dry and air conditioned
You are getting a twenty dollar store credit holiday bonus
it seemed almost to be a reward for the store managers -- who work long hours on the front lines I hate the amount of hyperbole in game writing. Is gamasutra comparing selling warranties in a shop to trench combat? pfft
Haxor: Hello I need to withdraw all of the money from my account. My SSN is 123-45-6789.
Teller: Is your name John Smith?
Haxor: Uh....yes.
Teller: Thank you, here is your money!
What do you want to sell a game with if not story?
What about gameplay? As in, the expansive decision making process that defines games as a distinct art form?
What's the huge difference between Half Life and Doom if not the story?
You're being aggresively ignorant; I don't see how it's possible not to see the difference between Doom's constant survival action and Half-Life's paced and thoughtful puzzle mechanics intermixed with unique and hectic battles. They're practically polar opposites from map architechture to the underlying mindset the game expects out of its players.
Most of the videos were captured by SDA's own equiment - the runners send the VHS tapes in via USPS. If the play itself comes into question, the runner has to provide camcorded proof of ability, otherwise it could be rejected.
G4 still has no idea what a video game channel should include. They've tried showing Counter-Strike (and others) with BattleBots-esque commentary. Cinematech recently took videos from http://www.speeddemosarchive.com/ and played them in edited form without contacting the creators or the site, and then denied any copyright violation when people complained. The content of the channel is determined entirely by third-parties or whatever is easy to put together (or steal).
If you're going to let the game lead you around, like the example from the article, you're not experiencing art. To some point, the gamer is responsible for developing his own playstyle. A game as it sits on a store shelf is an incomplete set of materials. Both the developers and the gamer must be the 'artist'.

Youngin's with their new toys. I do just fine on ARPAnet 0.5

Seriously, don't get the cynical mathematicians on /. going about hyperbole like "exponential rates".
Well, the exponent could be negative, did you think about that? Huh??

Retail CombatPerhaps you should take advantage of the new and popular acronyms to save time and make texting easier. Here are some relevant to your interests:
GOML (get off my lawn)
IGAB (I got a bingo!)
DFOL (dentures fell out laughing)
So your plan of attack is something like this?

But GoW is better than GoW. It's no wonder that the system it's on is winning.

They should take a cue from Ancient Japan and flip them over and attack its weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE.
Well, yeah, how can Earth be considered a planet when it's the center of the universe?
Oh noes! Quick ESRB, slap minesweeper with an M rating!
Those dumb Nintendo marketers, they only got FOUR slashdot frontpages from a name change. C'mon, they can do better than that.
Was a fossilized plane found nearby?
Sometimes I feel the need to see the 1001st result, but google won't let me. :(
If they weren't out cold when the 'procedure' started, they would be by the time it was finished.
Learn Japanese? This guy reccommends against it.
They may have reached 1 million individual players faster than Xbox live did, but how many of those still play? What's the daily peak users?
I'd guess that a large portion of that 1M were people who bought Mario Kart, tried Nintendo WiFi for a day and weren't compelled to return.

You might say I don't like G4.
