That's good enough for me. I'm pretty much still in awe of the gamecube. It's this little f@#%@ing thing that rocks, kinda like my mac mini. I don't have a X360 but will get a PS3, so I haven't seen "incredible, PC like" graphics on a console yet. Hell, I'm still in awe when I fire up Shadowrun on my Genesis! It's all about gameplay, I can live without graphics on consoles.
I agree, but those simple addictive games will be the ones that hook the users, and they won't cost much. Games that you see yourself playing when you close your eyes, hours after you've put them down. Like Lumines.
They should give us a new franchise. HL is a great franchise, which is why I want to see others from them. They have the creativity, give us something new!! Break the mold... again.
And grabbing a nightstick from one of the cops and using it to beat all the cops to a bloody pulp, then running outside, stopping a car, throwing the driver out and taking off... stopping at the local gun shop and picking up an uzi to carry out some much needed drivebys. now THAT would be ironic.
I guess you have to be an OO purist in order to really appreciate it. I gain productivity when I write code in Java, because I already have loads of reusable object architectures that I can use. Do scripting languages or Ruby have ways of doing Aspect Oriented Programming? Give me AOP or give me death, is what I always say.
In a typical installation wizard, there's a time when you can choose to not install the software, but it's not when you are presented with the EULA! It's when it starts up. A typical installation asks "This installation will install the XXXYYY software. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Whether there are laws or not, declining the EULA doesn't mean that the software won't install, it's just been widely regarded as truth since most companies require that you agree to the EULA in order to install their software.
By sheer coincidence, when most software is being installed, declining the EULA will stop installation. I don't think it's a law, it's more at the software company's discretion. They have to determine if the user MUST accept in order to use their software. In this case, they just put in a EULA for some recommended leisure reading before installing

Plus, it can hold a decent percentage of my pr0n collection... well, the JPGs anyway.
I said graphics not video :-P

you can't download the hardware yet, so they should just be happy Sony's using them for anything.
The post says he read it too :p

more like a first guess and some more speculation about what E3 2006 might be like...

All the better! More EU law breaking on M$' part.

Yes, just like the EU respects Microsoft's "laws" and PAYS for their software, and presumably adheres to the EULA. I look forward to the outcome.
