The game does not even have to be built - only the engine.

The engine is not any harder to build then say, PHP and Apache, which are requirements to play the HTML5 entries.

I am disappointed my project didn't win...

...but then again there was no prize for technological superiority.

Look at the video trailer. There are in-game screen shots that you can clearly see.

Have you seen the proposed specs on the PS4 and next Xbox?

Yes, I have. Both systems are built using mid range off-the-shelf PC components. The systems are not targeting hardcore gamers, but rather casuals and soccer moms.

It is completely beyond me how those two stories have not garnered more press. Thats bigger than the Dorner case considering it's basically giving rights to the LAPD to open fire on absolutely anybody and get away with it.

They already do open fire on absolutely anybody, and they get away with it. Police are not here to protect the people, they are here to protect the government.

Citizen-organized militia groups are a paramilitary force as well, but that does not mean they are not comprised of civilians.

The Piston Xi3 Modular Computer, Valve's first Steam box prototype, is on sale right now.

Just in case you and all your friends didn't already know...

I feel for you. All desire for a Playstation 4 was lost the day Sony killed Studio Liverpool. No new Wipeout, no reason for a new playstation.

Attach rate is meaningless when discussing hardware. Software has attach rates, not hardware. Attach rate is the percentage of console owners that own a specific software title. Example : Wii Sports has a 70% attach rate - that means Wii Sports is owned by 70% of console owners.

Hardware has Tie Ratios. The Tie Ratio tells you the average number of software titles purchased for each console. Example : The Wii U has a tie ratio of 2.1 - that means each Wii U owner purchased 2.1 games on average.

Compare that to the wii tie ratio of ~8, or the xbox software tie ratio of 11+.

Some have argued that socialism is the natural evolution of an automated society, brought by the inventiveness of engineer.

Pixeljunk Eden was the first co-op game I got my GF hooked on. Aion was the game that made her a PC gamer though. I tank, she heals. She dresses up her angel barbie and decorates her house when she is not out with me ganking newbs in open world pvp...

I tried many many unsuccessful times to get my GF to play videogames. She is a total freak too, I figured how could she not like video games?

When I first met her she had purple hair, clearly visible skinny puppy tattoos visible through her revealing outfit. Her username on the internet was taken from a Fluke song that was created for a video game; in fact she basically spent all her time cosplaying the mascot for my favorite playstation game, Wipeout. And she loves the band that made the soundtrack for one of all time favorite PC games, Descent II, so much she has their logo tattooed on her body.

How could she not like video games? I don't know, but she didn't like video games in the slightest. She hated them all. Descent "made her dizzy". Wipeout was "too fast". FPS games were nothing but "stupid war games with ugly characters and annoying sounds". She hated videogames so much that she outright said we couldn't be together if I played games. So I had to quit playing video games for a few years.

It wasn't until I got a ps3 to replace her broken DVD player that she changed her mind about the subject. First I got her to play Flower, and she -really- enjoyed it. Then I got her to play Eden with me, since it is co-op. We played it together for hours on end... now we are ranked in the top 25 worldwide in 2 player mode. Then Wipeout HD came out with auto-pilot and motion control features that allowed her to actually enjoy the game. Next I got her Shining Force EXA and it made her cry. She hit level cap (198) in just under 2 weeks.

Then I got her a copy of Aion and showed her how much better PC gaming was then consoles. Now she is widely regarded as one of the best clerics on our server and her services are often requested by the most hardcore raiding guilds in vent. She is still very picky about games, she tends to dislike games that are overly aggressive, not aesthetically pleasing, or are 'too manly'.

>...they don't have to worry about people who break the rules and try to bully others into accepting their rule breaking.

I doubt that - kids that really do stay inside and play video games all day have already seen the worst cheaters, hackers, and trolls the world has to offer. It is hard to maintain faith in humanity when you are constantly exposed to an endless stream of sadistic assholes who enjoy being absolutely the most despicable fuckwads to each other as imaginable.
