It can be taken anywhere, which is important because the "casual" gamer doesn't usally devote time to play games sitting in front of the t.v. (they're silly and have too much interest in this "real life" thing) so pocket gaming is a good way to lull them in.
Games are evil, remember that. People who waste their precious, God-given time trying to level up in World of Warcraft are the cancer of society. Fucking social rejects should be out getting drunk, contracting an STD from some random slut or watching football while drinking beer.
Seriously, fuck you. I'll stay here and play games as much as I fucking want to. I'm sick of these militant extroverts telling me I don't have a "life" because I play games.
Uh huh. Might as well compare Grim Fandango with Ridge Racer. How about making a real comparison, like a D&D Gold Box game vs. Baldur's Gate II or Planescape: Torment?
Jesus fucking Christ. There's a great difference between consistently butchering the English language and making typing errors or accidentally leaving out words, especially since you can't edit posts on Slashdot.
I looked at a few screenshots of Superman 64... uh, shouldn't the developers be prosecuted for crimes againts humanity or something? I'm sure it's a crime to produce shit like that.
I've been seeing the BBC's headline "crack found in shuttle tank foam" all day long, but now that I finally clicked on the link I realized that they weren't talking about drugs that were found aboard a shuttle.
I tend to evaluate messages based on their content, so it usually doesn't matter who posted them, particularly since Slashdot has such a vast amount of posters.
Well, I do not know about modern church leaders, but I am quite sure that Christ and Mohammad would both be wise enough to come to a common ground if they met.
No. They represented mutually exclusive ideologies.
After all they seemed to have the same god.
No. Allah is a barbaric God of War, while Christianity's God is not. They are not similiar at all, so obviously they can't be the same God.
It is just that that god had different plans of life for different geographical areas. I mean, what is the point of preaching about means of survival on an iceberg when your people are in a dessert?
Why would a religion be limited to a geographical area? Did you just make that up?
It is just now both religions have gone global, which they were not designed to do. Covering your face works well in a dessert storm, but is quite useless in forrests of central europe.
Uh, I don't think Muslim women cover their faces because of a sand storm...
Oh, you mean the Crusades that were caused by Muslims taking over the Holy Land and then pushing towards Europe? Also, as far as I know, slavery was in effect long before Whitey found Africa, so it's not like they invented it.
Of course, we must also make a distinction between a Christian person doing something, and a Christian person doing something because of Christianity.
Mohammed would have been disgusted by Christ's weak "why can't we all just get along" teachings, and would have probably chopped off his head. Islam is 100% incompatible with Christianity, or any other religion for that matter.
Yeah, one scientist falsifying research immediately indicates that science is useless. I mean, we have computers, satellites and antibiotics and so on, but it has all been rendered worthless by one man.
I don't think society values "oh drop out of school and be a brick layer" either. Your 8 hour work day should in theory be something that contributes to society [which may include brick laying but ideally not as a last resort].
That's not a good attitude. Brick layers are needed too. We can't all sit behind a desk, somebody has to do the important but relatively unpleasant things.
Oh wow, you have a lvl 60 character. Big deal. How does that better society in any which way? How does that better yourself?
Oh wow, you posted some verbal diarrhea on Slashdot. Big deal. How does that better society in any way which way? How does that better yourself?
If you want to live your entire life with the thinking process of an eight year old then that's how you're going to get treated. With time outs and government handholding.
I have the thinking process of an eight year old because I play videogames, whereas someone who spends his weekends getting drunk, snorting coke and fucking random strangers is the pinnacle of modern life. If that's what society values, then I don't need society.

Interesting how a post gets modded flamebait just because it uses swear words.
Uh, what? Even a hardcore geek chick wouldn't put up with a shelving unit and a component switch? Am I missing something, here?

I love lightgun games. I don't think I'll be buying a lightgun for my 14" TV that's sitting in a cramped corner.
As pointed out by this post, it's an urban legend.
Jesus fucking Christ. There's a great difference between consistently butchering the English language and making typing errors or accidentally leaving out words, especially since you can't edit posts on Slashdot.
Ah, yes. A modern game like Jade Empire just can't compete with the complex storyline of Zelda.
Yeah, TellTale's site looks very depressing. "Corporate" doesn't even begin to describe it.
I actually have no idea what you're trying to say.

They're not the same. It's like claiming that George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin are the same. Allah is nothing like the Christian God.
You're an AC too. I don't know your name, your address, your phone number or anything else about you. You're just as anonymous as anyone else.

There's no real reason to think that most Iraqis support anything related to Western values.
Yeah, one scientist falsifying research immediately indicates that science is useless. I mean, we have computers, satellites and antibiotics and so on, but it has all been rendered worthless by one man.
Look, I don't know if you just made up Vomit Magnet Blind Date, but I can totally believe that it could be a real (Japanese) game.
Skidmarks was a totally awesome game, but why is the name bad? I guess people associate it with, eh, other kinds of skidmarks.
I don't think China is that totalitarian... it's not some 1984 society where a MMORPG is the only "freedom" anyone has.
I'm not speaking from experience or anything, but I just don't see China as bad as some people make it out to be.
