Deadwood on HBO a few years ago literally made cussing an art form.
A must hear for all the cuss-word aficionados out there.

Newegg, Amazon, any online reseller has reviews for each item where in some cases I'd guess 50% of them are fake.
At least on Amazon you can reply to a comment and challenge the person's authenticity.
I wouldn't see a reason why game reviews would be any different.
Of course copyright law isn't working.
Traveling to other galaxies will never work either even if we enact laws to make it so.
These guys just don't get it. There will always be people who steal intellectual property and there will always be people who pay.
Why waste so much time and effort fighting a losing battle?
I think MS made a huge mistake selling Access Software which they bought for its Links Golf game. They sold it to Take Two in '04 and it's basically been laid to rest by them.
Looking at the PC golf scene now is a pitiful exercise in frustration. EA quit making PC versions of Tiger Woods golf after the '08 version. Golf gamers only have console versions for now where if MS had kept the Links franchise alive I suspect it would be dominating right now.
EA does have Tiger Woods Online which runs from a plugin to your web browser but they did what many companies do and released it from beta long before it was a real product. A quick look at the forums for TWO pretty much tells the story: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/forums/show/3732.page
Just wait till you see Doom 2. 7x 720k floppy disks? No game after Doom come close in making a truly awesome rocket launcher, imo.
Doom2 was the start of an overused greedy "re-label it and sell it again" era.
Doom and Doom2 were exactly the same engine except in Doom2 they gave you a double barreled shotgun and a few new monsters.
ROTT had jumppads and hilarious taunts as I recall. The ballbat was great. I still recall playing modem 1v1 and commenting to my friend how SMALL the other player was even when he was close.
How do you know it'll only be security updates? How do you know a keylogger won't sneak in there, undetected?
How do you know that isn't happening several times a day anyway? You could have thousands of keyloggers on your machine by now.
It all began with John Romero trying to make himself out to be a rockstar instead of a game designer.
The fad caught on. Now people realize they are just geeks.
This is just so ridiculous it has to be a frame or a setup.
Read a news article earlier about a guy in the Midwest that went to the post office to pick up a package and got arrested because it was 7lbs. of pot. So now we can mail illegal stuff to people we hate and get them arrested and ruined for life? Also, there's an article on Fark today that links to a newpaper report about a guy who had his wallet stolen, years later is seems a registered sex offender was using his identity. Now the guy is F'ed because the police cannot remove the alias from the real offender because "the concern is that if authorities delete the alias, the criminal could go back to using it again." The guy is now getting arrested for not registering as a sex offender.
Is law enforcement and people in general really this stupid?
Any more I find network latency to be alot more important to me than the actual throughput of my connection. Being able to use my remote service software without as much lag is proving to be more useful to me than being able to download all the porn on the internet at 20 Mbps. I am quite happy with my current provider for that.
Thank you for saying this. I constantly tell people here that their speed doesn't mean crap if their latency, or real speed, is bad. They look at me like I'm on crack. Packet loss is another issue and it's ruining my Netflix streaming fun.
The feature still seems to be available - so you can set an image if you want, but I guess they won't be providing you with one of their own picked images as a default.
It's been available for several weeks.
