Comment Couples (Score 1) 362

My finance and I live together and both love video games. We've also found it a challenge to find good local co-op games for Xbox360. After Borderlands, Castle Crashers and a few others, there really isn't much out there. It's too bad, because it's something we really enjoy and since we try to spend a good chunk of our free time together, it means we'll be playing fewer games, not more.

This was my family's very first game! Our shareware version was unable to re-map the keys so we had to have one person doing the moving and jumping and one person pushing Insert (for some reason) to shoot. Guess that makes it a 2 player game!!! *laughs*

Comment One of My First Games Ever (Score 1) 152

One of the first games my siblings and I ever played on our first family computer. Jump started my love of gaming.

Remember in the first one (I think), you could stand in certain spots to make the wolves fall off the end of the world near the exits? *sigh* good times.

$400 is the price of name recognition. I use GoDaddy certs and they are 1/10 the cost. All you need for any purpose.

For some of my stuff I use the shared cert that my host provides. Still secure but throws that bloody warning. At least firefox let's me permantely store the certificate exception.

And why did the farmer hire the H1Bs/illegals? Because the price he can get for his produce has been pretty steady or even dropping in the last decade or more. When we all demand things to be cheaper and cheaper, when we all shop at WalMart* b/c apples are cheaper, and they are cheaper b/c WalMart* strong-arm's discounts from it's suppliers... it all trickles down. But we all shop at WalMart* b/c we can't get good paying
jobs. It's a reinforced loop.

* WalMart and/or discount stores, dollar stores, chain and department stores. (ie not local).

I do the same thing. I started swapping mouse sides when I started getting arm and neck pain from day-long mouse use at work. Now I can use it almost equally well with either hand. Didn't take very long to get good at it.

Heck, most game controllers have dual thumb sticks - so both hands need to be dexterous. It probably becomes more noticeable with a stylus though.
