Comment Weirdo Checklist (Score 1) 178

- Doesn't "believe in vaccinations"
- Or God
- Gives kids names from a random license plate, apparently not recognizing that it has a real meaning in Spanish
- Doesn't own a car.
- Got taken advantage of by someone with a profit motive (like many game programmers are by a studio)

In the end, all this added up to a guy who came up with a pretty unique game-concept, even though he essentially ripped off Minecraft.

Comment Origin and Steam (Score 1) 24

Steam isn't anything special and Origin is similarly nothing special. Just another way to buy games (or apps) digitally. I have both and have bought games from both. Nothing special.

It makes sense for each publisher to have their own digital storefront and cut out the middleman.

Be a fan boy about games, not about, uhm, digital commerce distribution platforms.

I share your esdf rather than wasd but use the space for jump, shift to crouch, right btn for alt-fire, wheel click for melee, mouse thumb button for grenades. (BC2).

So what you are saying is that consumers are too stupid to use judgement, to read reviews, to carefully consider what should be on the phone, and that Google should restrict their choices.

Maybe Google can come out with a special version of their OS - code named 'Obama' - and it will lock everything down and prevent you from freely installing whatever software you want.

The problem is that when you travel, the WIFI often isn't free. Airports and hotels charge a lot of money. And there are places with no Wifi.

That's why I have a Android phone that can tether (unbenknownt ATT who is providing me with unlimited data for $12 a month).
