Yeah. I wasn't trying to say those games aren't fun, but that Nintendo has captured a market outside of the normal gamer where everyone in the family can play together and have fun.
Gas here is $2.90 and I drive 10 miles to work. So I should spend $50k on 5 different vehicles in case gas hits $6/gal in 10 years? I'd say it's smarter to buy a used SUV for $8k and invest the remaining money. Let's say I was going to buy a used Corolla or something for commuting for $10k. At $2.90/gal $10k buys me 3448 gallons of gas. And if I used maybe 10 gallons a week that is 6.6 years worth of gasoline. So only after 6 years do I even break even. Even at $4/gal that's 4.8 years worth of gasoline. Plus I have insurance and maintenance to pay on the other car. There's certainly no doubt that having a more efficient car is better, but it boils down to what is going to cost me the most over the lifetime of my use? I would rather have my SUV which is never going to get stuck in the snow, I can take it offroad/camping/whatever, it holds everything I ever need to haul, it tows anything I ever need to. It doesn't make any sense for me to spend money on a second car just to save on gas, for which the breakeven is 3-6 years away...
It's something that suits will never understand. It goes beyond pixels and megahertz and "high definition", deeper into the human heart where suits just can't see. People don't care about pixels. They don't care about fill-rates and texels and polygons and all the other bullshit that suits try to cram into their products -- all the crap they THINK people want. But they just don't get it. People want to be happy and have fun. People spend their lives miserable most of the time and want to spend their money that they worked hard for and get fun and happiness with their friends and family in exchange. It's FUN to play Wii with your mom or grandpa or uncle. It's not fun to play GTA or Gears of War with your grandma. The architecture is irrelevant. What's important is the amount of happy times you get for your money.
Yeah really. I keep reading people saying "AWD makes people drive more dangerous" and "4x4 lulls people into a false sense of security" like somehow that's the fault of AWD/4x4 and some sort of logical reason to be anti-AWD. Anyone who would deliberately choose to not have AWD in bad weather and would rather get stuck simply because they are anti-AWD has a screw loose.
Hmm, my Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 gets 21mpg holds 5 people and tows 7000lbs. Why would I want to buy 5 different vehicles that each perform one specialized task?
Now, the real question will be whether or not you can convince consumers that the three minutes of coasting up to a red light or halted traffic is worth the 33 percent less gas and replacing your brake pads/cylinders less often.
All you have to do is make it so people who have this feature get an extra vote on Dancing With The Stars or American Idol. BOOYAH! Instant success.
Granted, both sex offenders and DUI/DWIs are horrible crimes, but it does seem as if we're not giving people a fair chance at reintegrating into society
They should be glad we even allow them to try to reintegrate instead of just executing them as would happen in some countries. If they can't appreciate the mercy our nation shows and can't deal with the consequences of their actions they are at liberty to commit suicide anytime.
Public shaming is perfectly legal and I think works in general as most people are terrified of being exposed to their peers. It would be the same as if she had a bulletin board behind the bar where she pinned all the fake IDs she got (if she is not legally required to destroy them). She just pinned them up on a REALLY BIG bulletin board...
I don't think it's so much that people are dissing cutscenes, per se. It's the fact that they are using cutscenes as like a selling point for the game. Like they have nothing else to tout except for their new more-awesome-er cutscenes which has absolutely no bearing on whether the game is fun.
It's not just that prior art exists, it's that every single programmer in the entire world KNOWS it exists. But it's PERJURY to claim you invented something and try to patent it knowing full well that it already was invented by someone else. I don't see how any computer programmer could honestly think that they invented software breakpoints (except maybe someone like Dennis Ritchie who probably DID invent them...)

I think it's because they use Windows at that school, which is clearly the real culprit.

SUVs are basically very mediocre at everything

Yeah, this seemed like a rather odd thing to release as "open-source". I was wondering what their motivation was for doing this.
I've never had to replace my brake cylinders. Ever.

I love how the game is titled "Game Tycoon" but the website is hosted in Germany and is all in German.
I for one, welcome our new english speaking tyrannical ape-like overlords.

Or if you can do the same for the robot
No, you're right. It's not the language itself but the environment.
