Damn smartass:3 I did pretty much the same thing pre-university, and I got away with it - just. Had I worked harder, I would've done noticably better, especially in Physics and Maths.
The greatest works of literature feature murder, adultery, warfare, violence and destruction through and through. Much like videogames, just with higher moral ground (usually).
Linden Labs means Second Life, which could mean some VERY interesting things in the near-future of broadcasts. I know a number of events organised by news studios and bands have already taken place inworld, but this sounds a lot more solid than the minor contracts before. Screw Microsoft, I wanna see the BBC go virtual.
I'm not buying a PS3 because of the rumble, the price, the availability, and every other PoS thing Sony has done over the past year or so. I'm sick of all of it. Lack of rumble is just the dogshit on the garbage pile.
They disguise that (and I honestly find it fair of them to) by classing the Virtual Boy in the GB/GBM/GBC group, before the GBA/SP. The original GameBoy's revenue alone probably covered all the R&D, manufacturing and advertising costs of THAT mistake.
AFAIK, artificial eye tech wouldn't help in your case unless you managed to get an artifical eye capable of rendering at about the same quality as your working eye. Currently it's just binary lights indicating if something is within a certain threshold range... unless the tech has drasticly improved since I last checked up on it.
Unfortunately, Second Life requires a LOT of processing power, video memory, and bandwidth. Also, the initial Help Islands aren't always the best place to get an impression - after them, the wheat generally gets filtered from the chaff. Like the real world, there are a lot of places you wouldn't wanna spend time in, and there are some truly great places that everyone loves. *shrugs* Second Life isn't for everyone. You really have to get a feeling for it.
Look for "New Citizens Incorporated" in Kuula. Great place to build, hang out, and generally chill. Look out for Locke Traveler - that's me. The sandbox is good and the classes are better. Just pretend it's not lagging as much as it is. XD
A better comparison would be "Is the Metal Gear series comparable to the James Bond series?" or, "Is the Zelda series comparable to Lord of the Rings?" Keeping genres tied together helps a little. There has never been a video game number one - one game that all gamers absolutely praise above all others......although Final Fantasy VII to Citizen Kane is a pretty even match, if you ask my heavily biased opinion...
Good news: Cheap memory! Very portable! 1Gb/2Gb! Bad news: Awful movies! DRM! Incompatible! Other news: When will this general Sony catastophe end? (DRM, Rootkit, UMD, PS3 price/delay/features, exploding batteries...)
I agree with you here - your initial post I replied to seemed to indicate that first move was an unstoppable advantage. Also, manufacturing power and numbers sold aren't always the greatest indicators. Try profit and the picture becomes a bleak one for Microsoft - I'm not sure how long it took them, or if they ever did break even on the original XBox.
Back to the topic of the original newspost, it's good to see that Nintendo have their manufacturing under control already. Hopefully no shortages, artificial or otherwise at launch.
The model you describe is usually a non-returnable envelope CONTAINING a reply envelope. This model specifically patents an envelope used for DVDs that the DVD is both sent and returned in via resealable sections. It's the exact design that was copied by LoveFilm, Blockbuster, and ScreenSelect. And more!

Damn Yanks!

Fucking orthography nazis.
I'm amazed. I thought that all the blue LEDs had been purchased by Sony.
FreerFox sounds even closer, and is a REAL dig at Mozilla :D
I'm not liking the osund of "Iceweasel" though.

That's all tactical theory. Absolutely nothing on gun usage, except ammo management.

Indeed.
Actually, Scary Movie 1 and 3 weren't so bad. the second and fourth were downright abysmal.
New Super Mario Bros.
Confused me too, fellow YTMNDer.
Gah, GBP, not GBM. Game Boy Pocket, not Mini.

They're always last to hear the news. I trust Perrin Kaplan over David Yarnton.

Anyone can script a parrot, easily. I'm currently working on a dynamic 3D radar which collects all avatar info in a 100m radius...
That too. Read my mind - neither is perfect, but their equally insane fanbases just draws the similarities closer.

Second Life features very little G, and smatterings of RP based on individual players. It's no more of an RPG than the entire internet is...
