I love the concept of further ad reviews for GTA. Not once did I recall an ad for this game that started with:
"HEY KIDS! Now you can beat the snot out of hoes - right in your own living room! Be the first on your block to collect all the pimps and drug dealers you can get in YOUR gang's territory! Got catch-em ALL!"
Given the counter-suits, I was pretty much yelling "let's get ready to rumble!" at the outset. Haven't read this much fun reading corporate prOn since Nintendo got into it with Universal over the name "Donkey Kong" (David Sheff's Game Over - read it today!)
Science never decoupled itself from religion - because religion has nothing to DO with science. There has been many cases of religion attacking science however, and lots of very bad pseudo-science being promoted by religion.
As far as discarding "faith" - I assume you really mean "god" in which case - there was never any "god" to discard since it doesn't exist.
Oh we have a concept of "God" alright - because we invented the damn thing. Problem is - as we discover what's really going on around us it keeps invalidating the crap we invented a long time ago. And that - really - horks some people off.
Which is a pitty because I'd like to know how much more advanced the human race would be right now if it weren't towing along this massive collective social fraud that it's hobbled itself with for the last x-thousand years.
The fact that the Power PC version is still open and not the Intel makes me wonder if Apple is hoping to keep non-intel OSX freaks at bay a little while longer.
And by "at-bay" I mean several hundred feet below the Golden Gate Bridge...
Not really. The game finished after a scant 12 to 15 minutes of footage. A good player could "finish" it on one life, but unless you were insistant on dying over and over again, you'd still play for as long as a legal player.
Still - wish I could try this on a real machine to prove it. At CAX this year there's only going to be space-ace. Perhaps it works with that as well...
If you recall - MoonBase Alpha was underground not only because of meteor strikes, but because of nuclear waste explosions, and some drunken Eagle pilot crashing his shuttle into the moon at the start of the episode every week from 1975 to 1977.
You can't just futz around waiting for the next spectacular space crash set to violins, you have to take basic precautions.
He also began beating the crap out of his right arm which refused to cooperate in general and had a propensity to give the hitler salute at the worst possible moments.
I think you'd cut through some of the arguments by semantics, in which case your candidates are fine - but a little wordsmith is in order:
Real Planets: the eight (Mecury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).
Bullshit Planets: the moon, all the spherical satellites of the major planets, Pluto, all the spherical asteroids in the asteroid belt and all similar spherical kuiper belt objects.
Now who in their right mind - or what self-respecting scientist - is going to split hairs over a "Bullshit Planet". Problem solved.
Now here's a cure for world hunger - get hungry people food. GOD I'm good.
When you're ratings are in the tank, and people are spending more on games than movies - you expect raptures of appause from these media outlets? Stories about kids carving their names into their wrists and shooting up the school because they touched a game console - sure. But actually showing them in a positive light?
Oh yes - any day now. I've only been holding my breath for over 30 years. I've never seen my skin turn so many shades of blue before I passed out.
I've been 50-50 on it myself. I'm a fan of anything Arizona (having lived there), but apart from the moon system, I'm hard pressed to call it a planet. If Pluto sticks - then there's probably 100s of Kuiper Belt objects that qualify.
When M. Spindler was running the roost at Apple in the early 90s, he was asked what computer company he was most intimidated by. His response was Nintendo.
I'd put the whole thing into the Apple buys Disney column if it weren't for the consumer electronics direction Apple has been in the for the last 5 years or so.
I'm sorry - you can't ask people to work to read something and expect any decent peneration. Great design - but lousy awareness building. This isn't design for design's sake - you have to do the basic legwork and then go from there. If you can't make it readable - go back to rasterbation, because it's poor design.

What are we supposed to do with our "assimilation jokes"?!
I guess we'll just have to make do with "flying chairs". Oh and Windows Vista.
Crap - I just sprayed Mountain Dew all over the screen again...
Don't forget impure thoughts and bad touches - the GOP's been livid since Divinyls' release of "I touch myself".
Oh yes - Hillary Clinton too - but I think there's some other issues going on there.
Sometimes a penis is just a penis.

clarifier: should read "non-apple-intel OSX freaks" (IE: those who would put OSX on non-apple boxes). Previewed - and still muffed it up.

Trust me - I know - I saw it on TV!

fucking hillarious! I say the same thing and I get modded flamebait!
I'm in fucking stiches!
Slashdot? You're fucking nuts!
Much better to let them starve to death. The lot of 'em. Food is for pussies. Apple should pull the plug immediately.
Windows Vista runs on the Mac - according to Microsoft's own website!

Clearly seen - the Apple Display, and the Mac keyboard. Running VISTA - wow!
SHE WAS ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS?
She's still up against the wall fodder. Neumberg style.

I couldn't find his response letters. Just a bunch of media links and is fine letters.

And who can forget the Record Industry's take on this back in the 80s (as depicted by SNL):

My comment from the last thread pertaining to this bs...
Thank God. I was getting sick of all the drunk gamers on the fucking roads.
Good job.
So all those diet pill ads on tv work?
My GOD - just imagine!
Yes, they went home to Jeezus. Isn't that what you're always on about?
You should be happier than fuck!
HIDDEOUS typography.
