That's absolute bull. Science is TRUTH, religion is completely founded upon FAITH:
FAITH: 2. belief that is not based on proof.
If you want to force-feed me truth, then so be it. I suppose the knowledge of the universe isn't a bad thing to be forced to learn. If you want to force feed me faith, which is the absolute repudiation of truth, then you are a fool!

I just tried and it came back that his mailbox was full...maybe try waiting a week?
My next step is to send him a threatening piece of mail that says if I don't get a written response stating that his email box is emptied as of tonight at 6PM, legal recourse will ensue.
Yet again, irrelevant to the topic at hand. ALSO, my 360 is the most powerful AND least expensive "PC" in the house. For those college students (and recently graduated collegiates, ie: yours truely) that don't want to spend thousands on a machine that they're going to play games on anyway, consoles are the best route.
The problem with computers is that there's no standardization outside the basics. A 360 is a 360, cut print that's a wrap. A "PC" is anything with an internal harddrive, processor and basic input/output... Try running Halo on a Pentium III 750mHz computer with 64 megs of ram. Now try running Halo on an Xbox (which isn't too far off, I might add)...tell me which one is "better."
Don't believe me?

There!
No...it's not...at all. Vandalism is intentional destruction of another's property. This is three children playing in a tree that belongs to NO ONE. In your argument then any cat to scratch it's claws on a tree, any kid to nail a nail into a tree and any horticulturist to snip just a bit too far into a branch is a criminal, and should be jailed with a 5 year addition to their record. This was yet another plain and simple overreaction by the cops in a huge slew of recent overreactions.
You're not an idiot, I wasn't intending on flaming (merely making a point) and I appreciate the intelligent rebuttal...but you're still wrong!
A) That's not the point.
B) If you're debating the existance of loose branches then you're an idiot.
C) Trimming a tree helps it. Granted, they might not have known *exactly* where to trim, but again, read point A.
D) Reread point B.
...funny:-)
At first I thought "this is the death of an era," what with Reality TV being all that's on Primetime anymore and 50% of 13-16 year olds having cell phones.... Then I realized, how cool is it that my sister isn't going to be able to steal half her fortune anymore just because no one else in the family wants to do math!
With that said, I'd still rather stick to the "classic" version for a lack of a better reason to pick a fight with her, but we're all adults now, aren't we?
You have to be kidding me. This is the first game I've ever received from Gamefly, and in having it for a mere week I can already say this is one of my favorite games outside the Halo series as far as FPS goes. There's no BFG200000, which sucks. It DOES have a feel of Quake 4 BUT it's easy, fun, and when you die you come right back. I play games to have fun, not for competition (ok maybe a few Wik: Fable of Souls nights were but only because I'm good at it). I bought my XBOX 360 to play games, to have FUN. I hate it how games nowadays seem so much like a chore. The graphics make my girlfriend and roomate squeal, the monsters sometimes even scare the crap out of me when they jump out of random portals. More often than not I'll walk into a room thinking "oh shit, what do I have to face now?"
The puzzles generated by changing the local gravity pose for some thinkers, and there have been a few times that I've been in a room going "what the hell? where do I go now?" but outside of the Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening for Gameboy, I've never had a game where you get to pick up where you died.
To make a long story short, if you like playing games for fun, this is perfect. It's easy and short enough for someone like me with a severe case of ADHD and even worse case of stupidity to finish in a week and actually enjoy it. Though I haven't yet experienced the Multiplayer aspect (Time Warner Road Runner sucks), I certainly can't wait because I know I'm good at Halo 2, and this game adds a different twist by having to look around an entire room as opposed to the ground. I really think people should stop bitching about what a game ISN'T and enjoy it for what it is.
...that is, if you can FIND a democrat with cohones. The irony of it all is that, living in NY, the only candidate that comes even close is Hillary, and they belong to Bill.

that'd be me.

I'm an analyst and I say the NEO GEO is making a comeback!
Apparently the first three words of the previous sentence give me unlimited credibility!
SNK Playmore, where's my check?

Give this guy a point! That's funny crap!
I would be very surprised if this reached any further than the "home" editions of software...
Show me a $400 PC that can play Prey, and play it at the framerate and graphic quality my 360 can.
or Battlefield Modern Combat 2, or Halflife 2 even.
Or send me a free one, then I'll believe you!

I wish I had mod points...
At least you get to "ask permission" and they don't restrict you from even knowing it exists... Still crap though... ~JS

No = no, Va = go (in Spanish)...you wonder why these cars never sold in Mexico! Just a side-thought...

Rupert Murdoch is feeding us subliminal messaging through his Fox and Friends campaign. I'm now hungry for bad grammar and pre-teens... mmmmm Myspace
