Comment Re:Commander Shepherd WON'T BE IN THE MOVIE (Score 1) 142

Of course, but I really hate it when I see something that I really don't feel is that closely related to what the hell is going on in these games. Is no one ever interested in their friend's game, for instance? Everyone is always so damned selfish! I mean seriously? Are gamers anti-social? Then again, it *was* a single player "RPG"... :\

Comment Redundant Revelations... (Score 1) 156

I really don't believe this at all, despite what you all say, as I read in comments from the actual article...it just seems fishy and speculation also seems to confirm that this report might just be a red herring. I had speculated myself that it was probably gonna be around $120, but pleasantly surprised to hear a figure of around $80. Another thing it seems pretty funny to me that no one comprehends when they read "bundled with the Xbox 360 Arcade console for $299." My philosophy is, unless I know first-hand of something's failing points I keep mum, but there is certainly no mistaking a critic's ignorance...Final point, all the preparation and professional research in the world is nothing compared unleashing something into the hands of a few thousand evolved chimps! Time for this damned, dirty ape's lunch...

Comment Re:Not shipping with the system from the start = f (Score 1) 156

It didn't come with the system originally and many aren't going to be willing to pay $100 or $150 to add it...You shouldn't be able to buy one without Natal/Move. Then at least all new buyers would have it. As it is, they might as well give up now.

As if to say, "no one is going to buy another hard drive with more space" When it originally came out, without/only a 20GB drive, did it really stop anybody from getting a 60GB, 120GB or even 250GB now? I don't understand your sales/marketing logic...

Submission + - Microsoft man: my job is to destroy IE6 (pcpro.co.uk) 2

Barence writes: The man in charge of Internet Explorer has told PC Pro that he's been tasked with destroying IE6. Internet Explorer 6 continues to be the most used browser version in the world at the ripe old age of nine. IE6's position as the default browser in Windows XP means many companies still cling to the browser. "Part of my job is to get IE6 share down to zero as soon as possible," said Ryan Gavin, head of the Internet Explorer business group. Microsoft has also been giving further previews of Internet Explorer 9, with demonstrations showing two 720p HD videos running simultaneously on a netbook, thanks to IE9's GPU-accelerated graphics.

Submission + - Blizzard Boss Says DRM Is A Waste Of Time (thinq.co.uk) 2

Stoobalou writes: Blizzard founder, Frank Pearce reckons that fighting piracy with DRM is a losing battle.

His company — which is responsible for the biggest videogame of all time, the worryingly-addictive online fantasy role player World of Warcraft — is to release Starcraft 2 on July 27th and Pearce has told Videogamer that the title won't be hobbled with the kind of crazy copy protection schemes which have made Ubisoft very unpopular in gaming circles of late.

Starcraft 2 will require a single online activation using the company's Battle.net servers, after which players will be allowed to play the single-player game to their hearts' content, without being forced to have a persistent Internet connection.

Project Natal Pricing and Release Date Revealed 156

tekgoblin writes "According to Edge-online.com, their source says that we can expect Microsoft's Project Natal to cost around $149. 'The figure for the standalone unit is significantly higher than a previous sub-£50 estimate, but less than pricing recently suggested by European retailers. It’s also more expensive than Sony’s Natal rival, Move, which will be available later this year with a game for less than $100.'"

Well, *clearly* we all do it just to annoy you. I mean the only reason a person enjoys what some consider bad is simply a mechanism created by writers and joined in by viewers to make life absolute hell for everyone who is a critic! =D

Comment What's Unrelated? (Score 1) 118

All this leads *ME* to ask, if the current storyline of "Dr. Who" wouldn't actually become a reality? I wonder about stories, sometimes, that they actually might have happened at some point in the multi-verse...What?! You don't think this story sounds ridiculous? It may be true, but still sounds a bit fantastical! Leave me alone, I have a right to my thoughts. XP

I have decided to let it go, but I was going to the movies recently at the Sheepshead Bay UA and parked in the theaters parking lot. I was thereafter given a ticket for tresspassing since I had failed to go buy my tickets in a timely manner. WTF, NYPD?! Boycott that fucking theater!!! -sorry-

I am now writing my formal apology. After reading much of the comments, I'm just going to admit, here and now that I am unfairly judging Texas. Yes, I have a biased opinion of the state from years of Military service, family ties, certainly a biased education and knee-jerk reactions to bad personal history, as well as recent events. I am struggling with all the talk and my own thoughts, but I sometimes come to the conclusion that it should all just come to pass. I'm not saying do nothing, do more! I'll take the stance that good or bad, either I like it or not, life is happening and despite the outcome, I will live on, as will all else. We can wish all the stupid gone 'till we're blue in the face but what else would we have to laugh at? How would you be able to say what was smart if you didn't have something to compare it to? If this is how it is, this is how it is...Be free and hopefully we won't kill each other. Remember the Alamo! (You know, back more than ten years ago when OZZY was drunk and pissed on it? C'mon, guys! You just gotta laugh...)

Now, maybe I'm overreacting and I haven't even bothered to read what the rest of the community has written, but this could spell doom for our country. While I'm willing to agree that maybe Augustus Caesar was able to pull Rome under his guiding hand by having the eponymous history of his nation written, but I also seem to remember it all falling apart for those guys just awhile (ok, long while-Justinian) later at the hands of a supposedly "inferior" band of Barbaric Tribes! Texas, you suck absolutely, you stole my mother's soul, made a ten year old girl cry and have inflicted this nation with horrible debt! I blame you for GWB. Period. I may be wrong but you don't seem to give a Sh8 about the truth, so why should I?! VIVA MEXICO!!!
