I am glad to see an industry vet get in on this conversation. I myself am in school for game development on the programming side, and I can say that it is for this reason especially that I am frustrated by the current F2P model. Another game you might enjoy is Monday Night Combat. That is currently my favorite time-waster.

+1 agree. Thank you. Games are about the challenge, not about the tedious click to (not) win model that Farmville loves so much. These are simply not games.

I am disgusted by these; and as someone who actually likes to create games, I am even more disgusted. The only F2P model I really approve of is Team Fortress 2. Sales people need to stay out of the development cycle and focus on selling the game, not game content. And if you are a salesperson who analyzes these sorts of things, fuck you.

Every single one of us who are American Citizens are already in the system, so the feds can find out what they want about us regardless of whether we give our info to them through this program or not.

go round and round... will someone please flatten the bank's tires already?

Mod parent up please.

First you get twenty thousand eggs. Next, you make a big fucking omlette and then... oh wait...

If you really want a great distro, give Chakra a try. It's Arch Linux based, and you just can't beat the conceptual simplicity behind Arch. It is basically Arch Linux simplified. It gives you KDE, and everything else you might need. And installing new packages is incredibly easy. Give it a try.

wat?

This entire project will fall by the wayside in America because it's not wrapped up in pretty little buzzwords and it's not backed by grinning suits. I swear that the entire country is suffering Stockholm Syndrome as far as internet access is concerned.
