Parent is not being a troll. That's a very true look at our society. People are becoming more and more selfish, and the law allows this behavior to propagate. Unfortunately though, this is a result of a parent's influence on their children. My parents taught me that stealing is wrong. It doesn't matter if a "god" is watching you or not. Doing bad things is bad. As a result, I behave in as morally good a way as I possibly can. Just because. I would have been one of the people emailing support about this bug. Sadly, it seems to be "human nature" to take advantage of another's mistakes. It's the old "survival of the fittest" attitude that's hindering societal maturity. We're supposed to be civilized. If you want to play the Darwinian game with each other, go live on a deserted island and throw spears at each other.
If it does take them until 2020, I won't even remember what it was. Forget having an interest in playing it. I'm an adult with a job, and I'm starting to settle down and start a family. If these "awesome" games don't come out in the next year or so, I'm just simply not going to have room in the budget or on the clock to invest anything in any more new computer games.
The real question is: who cares?
The real answer is: I do. So do a lot of other adults who are out of highschool and their mothers' basements.
I'm willing to give them until late 2007 / early 2008 like I've heard. I don't think I could hold out any longer than that. IMO it would lose a lot of its hype by then.
Figures, Google finally comes up with an alternative to opening PPTs in IE (*gag*) just after I graduate from college. No one uses PPTs over the internet in real life!;)
You can stop waiting now. Does it really matter whose soil it was on? Canadian soldiers are still dying in Iraq to this day, fighting for your cause.
And in regards to the above link, before you say something snappy like "only 24 Canadians", let me ask you something: in your opinion, what number of innocent lives lost is sufficient enough to deem a tragedy? That's a rhetorical question, by the way.
Tinfoil hat aside, something seems very, very fishy here.
Excuse me while I get a little OT and take this statement a little personally (and probably get modded appropriately), but this is a point I think us Canadians need to start emphasizing more regularly:
As a Canadian-born citizen, I'd have to agree with you. There is definitely something very wrong with Canadians being able to take pictures of your public property, while you are not. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting the tone of the above statement. But if anything, this should help open your eyes to the problem America has with overreacting to everything. In my opinion (and an opinion also shared with a lot of other non-Americans) a lot of American citizens don't seem to realize the problem isn't with other countries, it's with your country. You need to lighten up, as a nation.
I'm so relieved to hear that Howard appreciates the original Fallout-style dark humor. The big thing I was worried about when Fallout went to Bethesda, was losing Interplay's unique view on the Fallout universe. All hail PipBoy!
No one cares about the FDA, because it's a Canadian university. Canada has Health Canada. Regardless of whether or not Health Canada is better than the FDA (when it comes to cancer-fighting drug trials), do not compare your FDA to our Health Canada. They are two completely different agencies, with two completely different agendas and morals.
I wonder which of those guys looks worse; Intel for offering the bribes, or Dell for taking them? This also shines a new light on the Apple+Intel situation. Who knows what happened with them.. maybe the same kind of behavior got Intel into the new Macs??
If everyone who can afford one..

..puts one up, won't the majority of them end up in North America aka only one side of the planet? You think global warming is bad now, wait until we start propelling ourselves towards the sun.
I wouldn't say "originally". His first game was a GameBoy game, yes; I own it.:P I'm just saying, I haven't used a handheld since SEGA Game Gear. I just don't feel like shelling out hundreds of dollars for something that I could drop or get stolen so easily. I'm the same with watches and cellphones.

Spore wouldn't make a very good MMOFPS.
One word: Tribes.
Sadly, we're living in the kind of society where celebrities need to tell us these sorts of things are bad.
It's a faint possibility. Perhaps I should have said after another year of development, my chances of buying the game diminish exponentially.

No no, you are still most definitely not free to not date no girls.
Just like when they recently voted on whether they should all get a 30% salary raise. We didn't get to vote, oh no, that wouldn't be fair.
I wish I was allowed to vote for my own raises. All in favor of a 5000% raise? ME! Well that's settled.

In all seriousness, I would've thought someone in London would come up with this idea first.
Cause if they do, any fight with Dr. B in Tekken3 gave me a heart attack.

The Canadian Yahoo site doesn't use the same trick. Try it.

Nah, I'm not really into Pokémon.
