Are you kidding? I run down every farmbot I see. They're free honor as far as I'm concerned. The problem with PVP in World Of Warcraft is the fact that right now it's concentrated in the battlegrounds, which is where I'm at most of the time now. World PVP hasn't been that great because you're wasting your time killing noobs that won't get you any honor anyway.
Concepts like knowing when to pick your fights or exploiting a weakness in your opponent's strategy aren't necessarily exclusive to a particular game. As long as you're being taught that as opposed to where a certain weapon is on a certain map in a certain game, you can learn stuff that'll be useful for more than just a couple of years.
It's still a browser that is going to end up on 90% of computers around the world. Just because you happen to use another browser (or another OS for that matter) doesn't make it any less a major release.
Child? That's kind of the wrong word for a 130 kg (285 lb) 21-year-old. It makes sense to be apprehensive over how an addict that size might react when you take away his addiction.
That was a general term I threw out there, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't still consider that 21-year old a kid. Heck, he could be 35 and weigh 400 pounds for all I care. If you play video games in your parents house all day, don't support yourself, don't go to school, and don't contribute to society, you haven't graduated to adulthood in my mind. The only excuse you have for that is if you're in between tours of duty in the middle east or you're physically/mentally incapable of supporting yourself.
His parents were frightened of him because, weighing more than 130kg, he was too strong for them to confront. Eventually they threatened to kick him out unless he enrolled for a month of therapy.
You're the parents, you make the rules. Pull the plug, take the computer away, do something, anything. You'd probably hit the roof if you caught your kid with a joint, but when he wants to wrap himself up in computer games you just fucking sit there and let it happen. That shit pisses me off. I hope this clinic is working with parents too to make sure they can control their child's behavior.
All the average schmuck needs to see if they're on the fence about defending themselves against *AA is for somebody else to do it successfully. A little legal precedent will go a long way in stopping the whole mess.
It's a sign that people need to start focusing on the real problem - releasing operating systems with security holes in the first place. All antivirus companies have ever done is cover the problem up, anyone who thinks they are a permanent fix to anything are giving them waaaaay too much credit.
Guys, leave the parent poster alone. Everybody knows dinosaur fossils were put in the ground to test man's faith in the almighty Lord our God./rolls eyes
If "Leopard" is really what it claims to be, i.e. fast and efficient in sharp contrast to slow and resource hungry Windows Vista, we certainly would see Apple's remarkable market share gain next year."
People have been saying that since Jaguar. You're not going to see Apple's share suddenly jump up in the desktop market because it still carries the stigma of not being compatible with anything and being ridiculous to troubleshoot when something breaks.
But to be honest, the way these games are designed I'd rather pay $15 a month to play one exclusively as opposed to paying $25 for access to one game I'll play a lot and five games I may never log into. I don't have the time and/or energy to devote to half a dozen MMOs.
Doom 3 didn't do much to scare me. After the first hour or so I found myself clubbing fallen zombies to pieces with my flashlight (so they don't just stand up and start attacking) or expecting an encounter right around the corner. It got predictable pretty quick.

That game was so bad it made me cry.

Unless they're playing a night elf in World Of Warcraft.

The clinic is enrolling people from the United States too, so his comment was at least somewhat relevant.
Seriously.

Seems like every 4-5 months somebody suddenly has the need to go over all of this shit - which, by the way, is nearly 20 years old - once again.
Where's my inside scoop on Final Fantasy Extreme?

Also, God bless George W. Bush!
I'd just as soon rather have the government not pester me in the first place as opposed to engaging in the cat and mouse game that you seem to prefer.
His lines are all going to be:
1) Dammit!
2) We are running out of time!
3) Dammit, we are running out of time!
4) DAMMIT!
It's not spying if it's company property, champ.

I want whatever the hell it is you guys are smoking if you honestly believe the end of Windows 98 will boost Linux in some tangible fasion.
The rules change when you join the military - which, by the way, is entirely voluntary.

Sony already does that for their own titles

That's the dumbest thing on the list.
Yeah, I'm sure students are going to riot over not being able to use Facebook.

He now should be seriously thinking of changing his name from Bill to NOBILL
Wow, that was so clever.
