If not then it's a no go from me. Squirt 1.0 and the update Squirter 1.5 just didn't have the squirting range I was looking for. Rumors about Squirt 2.0 include a 30 foot radius and a cool squirt sound when it's done.
Isn't Nintendo targeting the casual gamer? The casual gamer may find your 90% of crappy games to be the best games ever made. Casual gamers don't want Manhunt 2, they want more Wii sports. It will be interesting to see if casual gamers will carry the Wii and if Nintendo will still play to their hardcore gamers.
I heard on the 1upyours podcast that one of the guys from Netflix has joined the Microsoft board. If it's true then I think we'll see more movies coming to the Xbox marketplace.
Kind of like how the cameras in convenience stores have stopped criminals from robbing them? Crime will always be there. The question is do you want to give the government, whether it be state or federal, this much more power. If it's not stopping crime, then what's the point?
I wonder what the screening process is like to be the person monitoring others. I imagine the monitors have fun with it sometimes.
"Sir, stop picking your nose."
"Lady, stop being so fat."
Good times to be had in the big brother world.
Totally agree. I have friends constantly sending me their new email address because they switched from Bellsouth to Comcast. Then a year later they switch to another ISP and I have to change it again.
There are organizations fighting for these things. PETA for instance is trying to end cruelty to animals. They would prefer everyone to stop eating meat, but they know they have to make little changes first, like ending cruelty first. If you are really concerned about it I would suggest joining forces with them if you haven't already.
Google is removing the content when it is brought to their attention, right? In the end, who's responsibility is it to see if copyright material is on Youtube? Is it Google or the person who owns it?
Let's see how well those sites do as far as users. No one will use them if they are heavily controlled. If they aren't heavily controlled then expect some non-viacom copyright material to show up on there. Expect Viacom to be in Youtubes shoes.
What if it's an April Fools joke. The magazine comes out in April and claims that M$ is releasing a new Xbox in April. Not sure if this will happen, but if it does I imagine there will be a lot of problems for Game Informer.
With the beautiful user interface that is PS3 Home will there be any functionality that will compete with Xbox Live? Such as:
The ability to chat with a friend even if you both aren't in the same game. The ability to see the game a friend is playing and to jump into that game. A friendly friends system.
Right now the PS3 online doesn't contain these functions. Will Home enable these functions? Along with the 3D world interface will there be other functions that will change the way we communicate with friends while playing games instead of just hanging out in lobbies?
I use Jeteye and Foxytunes a lot. Jeteye is a great bookmarking tool that you can use from one computer to the next. We use it at work as a way to allow everyone to have access to useful sites.
Why would someone lie about their "credentials" if they are providing information that is accurate and worthwhile? The Wikipedia admins seem like a tough bunch to please.
That's all I ever hear about is CliffyB as well. It's like he single handedly built the game. The 1up.com pictures are pretty great. One shows a slide that says "Grenades Too Traditional". I would say the grenade on GoW was just as traditional as any other grenade in a game. How you threw it was different.
They should have kept the money looting aspect as that seems pretty interesting.
I have to agree that paying for XBL does seem like a rip off when PS3 and Wii are offering free online service. Then you play PS3 and Wii and you realize that paying $50 a year for XBL is worth it. It would be a problem if the PS3 and Wii would step it up.
But think about all the great Black Box recordings that will be available on iTunes for everyone to listen to. I see the RIAA getting their mits in on this.
If you don't watch it, then we'll make sure that "emerge," "arise," or "spread" are also stricken from all scientific books as well. World domination through vocabulary control. It's a serious problem that your "activist judges" and "liberal media" can't do anything about.

Heavily compressed doesn't mean poor quality though. Look at the H264 codec. Very clean and sharp looking, but takes up less space.

How would cameras prevent people from getting physically harmed in the end? Sure its on tape, but it didn't stop the beating from taking place.

I got it. I suggest that if the banana looks like it is suffering then yes show it some compassion.

The ones with souls should exercise a little compassion for those without it.

I'm seriously asking.

I think there's a political party out there that would enjoy his talents for the upcoming presidential election.

112. I sent him an email last night about how Jesus didn't preach destruction of one's enemies. This is the response I got:
"Actually, He is coming back to judge and to destroy. Learn your Bible, goofball"
Anyone surprised in the least?

Would upgrading to Vista would require training staff to use an entirely new system?

Is that you Ben Affleck? Don't worry the Aussies aren't downloading Daredevil or Gigli.
