DND movies should have and very well could have been choose your own adventure. They could have worked exactly like choose your own adventure books. Albeit less complicated for some vague sense of fluidity. Released straight to dvd would not have been in issue for dnd movies. The idea of using your dvd player to actually do stuff which would horrify most people would likely not daunt dnd fans. And it could have some moderate replay value. You would of course need to be inventive in making the plot mesh together niceley and be able to reuse clips or have multiple paths touch rejoin for important events. But these I'm sure are things choose your own adventure authors are used to. Makes me sad that they didn't because it is the only genre it would work in at all...
To be fair I also was near 69th street station at around 2am. Saw 5guys mug someone stab him and the guy ran away, got hit by a car. I think they need to put more cops there.... It is a pretty major station. I'd be happy to see cops then:/
You do realize the author has been dead 60years right? That fact alone compels me to 'pirate' a copy.... No need for any extra reasons. Who exactly do you think you are supporting by giving amazon money?
In my last visit to the states (Philly) the cops there made me nervous. In Canada my best friends dad is a cop and cops go to local events... saw some doing the don't do drugs kids thing at the aviary a few weeks ago. In the US the only time I saw cops doing anything they were screaming at homeless people. It was cold out, they were trying to sleep, there are not enough spaces in public shelters. So the system apparently is for cops to find said homeless people and shout at them to wake them up and make them walk... away. I've no idea how this is a permenant solution, clearly humans need to sleep and if no place is provided for them how is it illegal to do so in public? It was horrible to watch people who clearly needed assistance being shouted at to wake up and get the hell out of a public place by those who are there to protect and serve. I saw one guy getting charged for possession of marijuana while I was in the train station as well. He was being treated like he had a bomb on him, it was pretty intense. Pot is illegal here too but its more like 'I gotcha, sorry, hand it over please and get in the car'. It really doesn't make you feel like they are one of you when they are such bullies...
Pretty sure i'd be more of a quitter part way on some stupid experiment on earth than I would in space. Even if it was just that there is no oxygen outside so you CAN'T quit.
Xbox360 is great, if you fail at gaming. Or if you have a handicap.
(Seriously though did they plan 360games to take 1 day with little difficulty each... Or are they just aiming to make it 'fun' for people new to games. Almost all my NES games were harder than 360 games)
2. I thought that was the point of the video. If the RIAA keeps having their way it'll be true. Think if all the people committing 'copycrime' were actually imprisoned then the prisons would be FILLED with anime nerds.
The RIAA do not approve your use of the word lend in that sentence. Clearly you meant aiding and abetting first degree piracy against the crown in an act of sedition.
Seriously though. Is 'lending' as easy as you say while using legit sources? I'm sure with torrented books it will be wonderful. However, it does sound like a great way to store all books ever written in your living room.
People playing on consoles get auto-aim to some degree. Mouse and keyboard is more accurate and much faster. They are given a handicap to compensate....
Taking anime into account (I started fansubbing groups which have sent out millions of copies of episodes). I had caused over 500billion dollars in copyright infringement by age 16. By my 30th birthday I think i'll be nearing 10trillion in damages. If you compare this to gdp it puts me around 16th place (by country)... except all negative values. I bet if I worked really hard at it like a full time job I could overtake the entire planets income in damages. Hell if you want to charge TPB for 8,0000$ of the things transferred on their trackers you reach an amazing 45quadrillion dollars in damages per year. (10x the worlds combined gdp).
This isn't new at all. TOONNNNS of video games have had cheats. Hell with a Nintendo owned gamegenie or a gameshark you could cheat on the earliest Mario games. So don't get uppity just cause you are older. It didn't seem to ruin everything back then. There just came a whole generation of people that refused to use cheats. Sure if you are bored and beaten it before then play around in invincibility mode and it is content added. But really cheat codes are no different than difficulty settings.
Next the one thing I would like to see is the inability to rank or w/e while you are cheating. I remember in Warcraft1 and 2 if you cheated when you beat the level you'd be labeled as a cheater. I think with that there could be no complaints.

I was going to buy it but they didn't have a paypal option. :(
P.S: It was made by a Goblin, so it might explode before it gets stolen.
Fixed that for ya

It isn't the black itself that gets to them it is the black on white action.
Science imitades Sci-fi allllll the time, I see no reason why not to.

Enders game idea on /. inconceivable!

That and it isn't cheaper on a piece by piece basis either.
How is this modded insightful?? Microsoft has the iso and serial key on their official site for download and has for months now.
Are you implying that this isn't a repost? I wasn't even aware that was possible.
