Some of us still think playing FPS and 3rd person games with a gamepad is awkward and horribly inaccurate.
I played the demo of RE5 and I STILL hate the controls on the console. The one that did it best was RE4 on the Wii. No RE5 there though, and it'd be butchered graphically if it was.
When someone goes out fishing and catches something nice? MMS. When someone gets the first big snow of the season? MMS. When someone sees a movie and wants to encourage or discourage others? SMS. When someone goes out to a particularly nice restaurant, or maybe to a place that has significance to the family? MMS. Got a question that doesn't need answering immediately? SMS. Just finished a good book? MMS.
Funny... thats exactly what I use e-mail for on my phone... gives the added benefit of having it on a computer too to reuse. Also doesnt cost me an additional fee a month or per message...
"The #1 movie in America was called "Ass." And that's what it was. For 90 minutes. It won four Oscars that year, including best screenplay."
I give it a few more years or so...
I fail to understand peoples obsession with MMS... sure every teenager on the block is doing it, and yes maybe your grandmother.
I OCCASIONALLY text message but only because I get 200 free on my first gen... but why would you CHOOSE to send data by a means that charges you upwards of a couple hundred dollars per megabyte to close to a thousand depending on provider or plan.
I forget the site but someone did a little research on it and posted a graphic recently displaying the relative cost per MB of data and it was ridiculous how much it actually comes out to be for text and MMS. Data connections were the cheapest followed by voice.
The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland"; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.
