Guinness names Call of Duty: Black Ops #1 video game ending of all time->

Shikaku writes "The famous Guinness Book of World Records recently conducted some research to determine the top 50 video game endings of all time. On the list were games such as Portal 2, Kingdom Hearts, and “Half-Life: Episode Tow [sic]“, none of which topped the chart. We’re all used to seeing Gamespot and IGN coming up with lists like this that survey hundreds of thousands of people online over the course of a month or more, but Guinness released this list after tallying the votes of just 13,519 “fans of gaming”. Guinness is well known and regarded as the official source on many world statistics, but did they devote enough time and effort into this list to get an accurate idea of how gamers really feel?"

If it's wifi, I'm going to stop you right there and tell you that there are many reasons why wifi can malfunction, ranging from a bad router, to a leaky microwave, to bad firmware/settings, too many routers, too many routers on the same channel, the sun, and more.

That being said, If you only had the laptop for 30 days, threaten a chargeback on the credit card. I'm not sure otherwise.

Many game developers are fed up with PC piracy and feel they are in a lose-lose situation and they don't want to choose between DRM-laden software or Internet activation... these companies (maker of Crysis comes to mind) vow to develop more heavily for the "console" platforms (XBox, etc.) because piracy is less common there. Of course, if Crysis 3 is console-only, people will probably go the extra mile and modify their boxes and pirate it anyways, but that's beside the point. The point is, game devs (along with authors and other artists) have manned up for ages and when piracy becomes an issue for them, they find a solution that doesn't involve hundreds of frivolous lawsuits that is harming everybody with its costs in tying up our legal system.

I wonder how Steam is... It should be tanking and going out of business with all this piracy...

There's an app for that (for Android) that allows you to boycott companies that support SOPA by product with a scan of the product.

There is also a Chrome addon that does the same except with websites: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gagmjmoimnkgoijihaaeodbefhcapjcj?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon

And in case this passes there are add-ons already out that will bypass SOPA: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/desopa/
