I realize i am splitting hairs, but i'm assuming you are referring to the solider/grunts? The blue guards were friendly to you (until you hit them with a crowbar, but IRL people behave the same...)
+1 for the general purpose PC. ive tried doing basic document editing on my acer a500 and tbh it just sucks. certainly when compared to the dual screen tower rig i have. Also it's just nicer to have a screen i dont have to hold up (call me lazy ) and a hard keyboard with *real* resistance to it means i can type faster than on the a500. Also the finger marks are F**King anonying to have to wipe off all the damn time.
Tablets and smartphones are good for care-free-computing (apologies to anyone who has used that prior to me) and those who dont want to have to care at all.
PC's may very well go back to being the domain of nerds and geeks only, which could one day see all the lusers on locked down devices with only well maintained PCs run by nerds on the net, or something in the same spirit as that.
i'll let your imaginations run wild with that last idea, i admit no real thoughtfulness in having just made it up...
Ive installed it, found the signout button under the 'my info' tab - was not even looking for it either.
Quality of my first test call (to another skype user) was sucky on my end(chopped up occasionally), but that could have been my DSL connection being spastic (in Australia FWIW).
Otherwise it seems ok to me... for now
I for one am very happy to see this happen. Granted with the concern about `bad` fan fiction entering and spoiling it for all the rest of us reboot fans, im gonna go out on a limb here and have some faith in the site they are setting up to allow discussion on content.
I have personally not heard of anything like this before (feel free to correct me on that though, im curious now) but if it works then maybe we will see more of this, else if it fails and crash `n` burns horribly then we will all learn from the failures and perhaps try again some day.
