Or, better still, they could make a Burger King AND Astoglide game! You play as the King, and you have to sneak up on people, give them their Whopper, then, as they are distracted by eating the oh-so-delicious food, you have to...well, uh, you get the idea.
Wow, I didn't realize that. And Ico is pretty much the ONE game that has the same name in the US and Japan where they could have used the EXACT same art.
One of the "most important targets on the planet", eh? That means DHS will give it, what, $1? Everything will work out perfectly!
The space ring will get $1 of anti-terror funding, and a small town in the Appalachians will get most of the rest, giving them the money to build and even BETTER space ring! Next year the same thing can happen. Thusly, the competitive process of capitalism lives on, even in these trying times.
On topic, though, this space ring sounds like a cool concept, I hope the media doesn't start raving about how the extraordinary magnetic fields will cause brain cancer.
Going a bit far? Yes. But it's not anything new. Comcast moved into my hometown recently where we have cable and internet through our town's electricity dept. Comcast has been going to great lengths to shut down the municipal cable/internet. First doing things like offering a special rate for town residents (that is, for our town only, none of the surrounding area) and only for 6 months. Recently, they've been doing things like going door to door saying that the municipal company is going to stop offering internet soon and that everyone should switch to Comcast.
The Earth's climate changes. It's inevitable. It's happened before.
Now, I'm not saying that humans are helping things a long any, but there is NO way to do as the t-shirts say and "Stop Global Warming". Even if we reduce emmisions, we are still a threat of the Earth if by sheer numbers alone. We have far overshot the carrying capacity and are damaging the Earth, but I don't see all the environmentalists supporting, uh, "population correction".
There is way to much hype surrounding global warming. The global climate is getting warmer: fact. This is solely the fault of humanity and only humanity can stop it: fiction.
I'm not saying to screw with the Earth as much as we can, I'm just saying that the climate change is inevitable, especially considering the unfathomable amount of humans on this planet.
The only reason I bought it was for the super-awesome and really fun co-op (on xbox). I also own it for PC, and it needed a replacement 3rd-party msi before it would install.
If I had one complaint, it's that it doesn't have online co-op on PC, but the co-op on the xbox version more than makes up for it.
I tend to read about games through, for example, their website, previews, beta-tester forums, etc. I make a decision about whether or not a game is worth my money on my own, go out and buy it, play it, then think "hmm...that was [fun/stupid]. I wonder what other people think about it." Then and only then do I go and read reviews.
Have you played the game? Have you seen screenshots of the game? It is in no way, other than in a literal sense, a graphic presentation of murder. For God's sake, it looks like Pokemon! And from what I hear, it really does examine the event, and not just tosses you in and says "kill as many people as you can for no reason muahahahaha!"
Shouldn't they blame the music of GWAR for the shootings, too?
Happy Death-Day to Columbine!
Let's make the world an Oklahoma City, fine.
Wacky-Waco Happy Death Day, babies that were burned

Why can't society just accept that some (all?) humans are prone to violence, and that video games aren't murder simulators that teach you how to shoot a gun. Society as a whole is just teaching irresponsibility: let's just blame someone else, my son/daughter would never do that, it must've been the video games! Yeah!
Certainly the demographic exists. Whether it is as large or important as previously thought is another question entirely.
Saying it doesn't exist at all is akin to saying that no 10-15 year olds are interested in programming. I'm sure there are some, but the demographic isn't deemed important enough to cater to most of the time.
He's not trying to prove that video games don't cause violence. The question he is answering is "What Came First, the Violence or the Videogame?". And he's answered it well.
There were two Chester Cheetah games around that time, as well: Too Cool to Fool and Wild Wild Quest. I'd link to the wikipedia articles, but they are worse than stubs....
I'm confused...is this a C&C mod taking place in the Halo universe? Yeah, I guess I can't blame MS for shutting them down. But what's stopping them from removing Halo references, changing the graphics/story a bit and reopening?
They obviously think that they can make the feature work and make it good for everyone. They apoligized for not considering the privacy issue, and they addressed it.
My thoughts exactly. I think they've done an excellent job in their response so far. The only other feature I want is the ability to turn off the newsfeed on my homepage. I don't care if other people have it or can see my information/actions, but it's cluttering up my screen and I don't like it.
Interesting that people believe a protest outside of the headquarters of a website that implemented an unpopular feature is a rational reaction. I mean, they haven't done anything to hurt anyone or anything illegal; they've only implemented an unpopular feature, tell them you don't like it and go on with your life.
Personally, I don't have a problem with the information being there. I just have a problem with that HUGE amount of information in my face all the time. I don't care who added a new book to their favorites; if I wanted to know someone's favorite books, I read through their profile.
The site design of Facebook is getting closer and closer to being as ugly as myspace/youtube.

Yeah, what happens when people use a lot of gas and there is massive amounts of material...massive amounts of material...in the tubes?
It's just another way for THE MAN to bolster our dependence on gas!
