I have been online for 2 decades now.
I like fragging clankids that shout too loud
They start to scream to their buddies i use h3cks
I don't use h3cks, i can aim well.

It's no requirement to be part of clans to have fun in a shooter trust me:)

It is sad that there are ppl that find it needfull to cheat in multiplayer games, there are some good counter systems but it's unfortunate that its needed

No cheats on PS3? They legalised the biggest cheat: aimbot, little skill needed there.
wasd + mouse, only thing you need

btw, 32 players on PC games, more mayhem, more fun!

Waaaaaagh!

Probably the same number of games, consoles takes ages to 'Aim' as the PC users slaughter a lot faster.

Can we keep the consoles for Pinball now and have the FPS for PC where it belongs please?

Frag you later!

Waaaaaaagh

...and sold to the highest bidder, Spam anyone?

Or am i just old fashion ;)

Here we go again...

i can still remember all the companies telling they are taking realy good precautions and spend sooo much money on safety and quality....

Wanna bet who will pay the bill for the loss of their revenue?

Let's see how they'll spin it this time /sarcasm mode idle

Well i did, but tell my father or he'll delete him again.

I have HTC and IRiver

Since Firefox and Adblock (/ghostery) has been around i wonder why people still spent all the energy on adds. As long as you look, click, discuss, hate, love them they have the desired effect and the money flows. Just /ignore / block as Spam is here to stay.

If a site is too intrusive there are most likely 10-100 alternatives to visit. Rather spend my time on that.

Enjoy this not so intrusive /. website where we can even turn the spam off (hear hear! :)

Maby redundant but looking at what i personally like and dislike,

I like well thought through games like Oblivion, X3, borderlands etc. where you can see the builders enjoyed making it and took the time.

I very much dislike fast ports from console to pc, most EA games that are halfbaked, not ready, very short, litle replay and lack imagination.

(On both sides there are exceptions of course)

When you put creative builders under pressure it kills imagination imo. The games are seen as fastfood now, calculated to what we accept minimally to spend money on "even 12 hours gameplay!(more like 8)" like Singularity whereas an Oblivion has 100+ hours in the box and many more with replay, mods etc. Singularity was more expensive too.

message to the companies, start making actual games....

I will start a BBQ stand next to the itemshop. Just need some hell hounds to /follow the battlerager and bring back the meat, grilled on the way back.

Dragon in the back for fastfood and non paying customers.

Easy money!

I give you 50 / 50 depending if you have no brain to lose or making a joke;)

on a sidenote, probably doesnt realy matter where the .50 hits you, you will be a meat fountain ^_^

In 20 years you will receive an implanted lens (iLens)at birth showing you commercials each time you blink ;-)

Reminds me of Ghost in the Shell's "Stand alone complex" where in our case the "adds industry" has gotten a life of it's own. Commercials for the sake of itsself.

I am more inclined NOT to get the product if i stumble across an add. If you need the add to sel it, there is something wrong with your product.

Being dutch myself, i rather enjoy that comment ;)

We do have some work to do at home where we have the counterpart of the RIAAAAAA called BREIN (brain). The same lame attempts to save the companies some money.

If these same companies would significantly lower their prices instead of keeping at record heights we wouldn't have the urge to DL everything and actually buy some stuff. They can also start with stopping to pay BREIN, that will probably save them a lot of money too.....

I find it interresting that the CD-rom seems to be the only media that has stayed close to the same price as when it was launched, in comparison to other products. The normal way is to lower the prices once the 'novelty value' goes down. Since the production costs are around 1 dollar one would expect lower pricings then 20+ dollar in some cases.

I am afraid you are correct,

Also a worrying sidenote is that the pension system in the US is based on Stock from the company you work for (and thus based on the illusion that companies last forever). All the pensions of all the people that worked for, working for these bankrupted companies now have an empty pension or at least a lot less (not sure if its 100% stock based or part of).

This is long from over, my only hope is that people learn from this of course but i am afraid that the greed is so infested in the culture that it may take many more years or decades to change.

I couldnt agree more. Working in IT is always having to prove yourself afterwards if a client starts complaining you agreed on something.

Also there are legal requirements, think of SOXA for example, you need proof of certain statements.

Too much info going back and forth, you cant remember everything.

Working in a Change Management position at the moment and i need to track, at every given time, around 70 to 80 changes that we are handling and 100+ that are run by other groups. Verbal communication is impossible at that scale. Also gathering evidence of approvals etc need to be administrated.

Email is my working ground, it is my "business critical" application.

In private life i tend to check EMail every other day or so, i rather talk to friends.
