If Element 115 is not eventually named Elerium I will be quite upset.
Coincidentally, There is an icon of a slime at the location of the Square-Enix HQ in Tokyo.
Its only taken them a "few" years to realize this... Yet, the war on drugs is 35(?) years strong now. When will they admit they can't win that one too?
It is a damn shame the warranty couldn't...
SPOILER
Lets not forget; and I hope the developers didn't either. That, Washington at some point during the war acquired a 'Piece of Eden'. Which was passed down to each subsequent president. So, hopefully this 'American' piece will factor heavily into the story.
Also, this is a chance for them to establish the blood line convergence between Ezio's and Altair's to form subject 16 and Desmond's bloodline. Which makes sense since both characters are decidedly American.
So, is Washingtons's Havoc weight going to be 2000lbs?
Except that for the most part; they did give the customer a ton of options with the PS3. If I so wanted I can use any bluetooth headset or keyboard I want, any 2.5" SATA HDD. any USB keyboard, any USB external HDD. Perhaps that is why Ken Kutaragi was given the boot; as they saw the line on accessory margins and died a little inside.
Activision or Microsoft wouldn't "make" shit if I bought MW3 used, on the 360. Yet, both would make plenty of margin if I bought their DLC map packs.
By allowing used sales it potentially keeps the game's community alive longer. By eliminating the value based customer you could potentially limit the community as a whole; where the player base shrinks from its post launch honeymoon. I would love to know how many people are playing MW2 right now on Live that did not by the game at launch or even MW3.
I remember reading an article during the opening phase of the purchase. In it; it stated that should AT&T spend the $30B to upgrade their network, etc. It would be vastly superior to their rivals in any form. Which is why the red flags went up. As proven, this was about eliminating competition and eventually an assumed increase in prices. The cost of the $30B merger would have been offset by the increase in the X millions of customers that Tmobile has. Not to mention that AT&T had planned to phase out Tmobile's system, so that people would be forced to buy new phones with the AT&T frequencies.
I hope that with the ever decreasing price of bandwidth and increase in end user access to that will help smaller companies. However; should a future spectrum be auctioned off then once again we're screwed.
There really doesn't need to be a technological solution to this. Just watching the University of Oregon football team is a perfect example. While their playbook is simplistic to a pro scheme; the purpose is speed. According to ESPN, the Ducks averaged around 20'ish seconds per play. The breakneck (per football standards) pace of play easily exposes poor conditioning. The reason that they play so quickly is that every player looks to the sidelines for the play call. Not just the QB. This ensures that everyone gets the play as quickly as possible without the need to huddle.
I feel that the NFL needs to speed up their plays. A 45 second play clock with no timeouts, as a defense effectively (not always; see Chicago v. Denver) ends the game with anything under two minutes remaining. The NCAA has the same problem.
However, if a technological solution is needed then a broadcast to all offensive players for a play call seems appropriate.
My 4 year old has turned my PS3 into a Netflixstation 3. Though I'm just as guilty; it is just so damned convenient!
