... you know that binding agreement you enter into that you and your family will be the only users on that connection. It then gives my ISP the right to revoke my connectivity because I broke that TOS agreement and they are not obligated to provide me with Internet connectivity.

My many year old GBA SP surprisingly holds a 5-6 hour charge still despite many years of inactivity. I was quite surprised.

Netflix isn't going to force Comcast to do anything but install hard caps on Internet service and break net Neutrality further.

Pretty much, which is why I broke down and bought ANYDVD HD which facilitates.

Colleges in the last century have done one thing, become financial institutions. They like many other places in our society only seek money. So they target students that will bring them grants (both government and private) and government based tuition program dollars. In the case of your big name schools, they target the rich. If you're family makes enough money, you're good enough for them and this especially applies to those ivy league schools we hold oh so dear. The major reason is that the large portion of the student body can now fund the minority doing the research to keep those universities appearance at the top. It's a massive money shell game and it's disgusting.

Our society then has this delusional view that anyone from these schools is societal elite and we perpetuate.

Society overall today, sucks. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and dumber.

Really? Bluray? Thta's pushing PS3? I can go to Berkley and Jensen's and buy a Vizio wireless BR player for $110, a third of the price of the PS3. I still look through the PS3 library and right now, the only game in the entire catalog that I can't get on my (imo better) Xbox 360 isn't even out yet, Twisted Metal.

PS3 is kind of a dud if you ask me and after all of the install other OS BS that's happened in the last year, I'm even more resolved to stay away.

I don't prescribe to your myth.

Your myth puts Walmarts and Exxons at the top. Meanwhile mom and pop restaurant is struggling to keep afloat against Applebees.

It's bullshit plain and simple and they're trying to feed us that here in NJ too. "oh we can't tax the rich, they'll leave". Fuck the rich, they can go live somewhere else until they can learn to play in the same sandbox everyone else.

It doesn't have to be.

Sony, I already paid for the license, just go EFF yourself.

They're just upset they didn't think of this distribution model first, they didn't contract TW out of doing anything like it with their services and they weren't able to rip off consumer by providing it through their own distribution channels first.

Certainly, who would pay them for their channels to be streamed from their website if they can just stream it to their iPads for free* (free in the sense that you're already paying for it) on their TW accounts!

Which is the other issue, if this story didn't have iPad attached to it, they wouldn't care. It's a ME TOO case where the channel owners want to be making money off of it too and don't like that they were beaten to the punch.

You missed the point AGAIN.

His argument is about level playing field, nothing to do with options.

That is an option on those consoles, not a requirement and not in the same way that a PC handles it.

If you're behind me, there's typically no indication for me to know that anyway if you get the headshot, so it's irrelevant. If you're not getting the headshot, I will turn around and be able to deal (in most cases better with dual stick control to round out my movements and react).

I could also argue that Left 4 Dead fixed this issue with a button dedicated to 180degree instant turning.

Not every game is a simple first person shooter. I like my games to, you know, be fun. Good luck with that as games move back to actually being fun for casual players.

I just started playing Borderlands and a friend was pissed at me for doing as well as he was with my 360 controller while he was on keyboard and mouse. As you get used to the control scheme you can raise the sensitivity and get generally the same response you would from a mouse.

I'm honestly tired of every console fanboy bringing this up everytime the debate swings by. In recent years I've played Mirrors Edge, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Fallout 3, Dead Rising 2, BF: Bad Company 2 and recently Borderlands all on my PC. The best thing the PC had on any of them was smoother graphics (because my system is only a year and a half old hardware) and the ability to mod a handful of them outside of DLC purchases. What I gave up was the ability to pop the disk in and just play, invariably there's always a war over settings tweaking that I go through between games and system settings to get the right amount of frames per second, ultimately though I end up with a game that looks better than the console version. In all cases I can play from my couch thanks to the 360 controller and HDMI connectivity it all plugs in the same.

Now that that silly idea of every individual's vote counts is out of the way, remember children, we are all at the mercy of those who have more money than most of us will ever make because it is the only way to be elected.

Most of those people aren't interested in policies that will take away their money and most interested in those that will give them more.

You do realize that cpu architecture doesn't stop emulators.

There are PowerPC emulators out there. More than that, how do you think all of those old school game system emulators run on x86?
