If the study is only done in the US, then I don't think it do the name "Extreme Gamers" justice. Come to Asia, hell, go to Korea's "internet cafes", and you will find people who never leave the place. There are a lot more local mmorpg games here than there are in the States, and those are the type of games that suck your life away. And they are all PC games too, which will debunk the more console than pc claim.

The only dreams that were ever real to me were the wet ones.

So the story turned out to be a prank.

China is actually a part of Taiwan..

are you also implying PCmag features nothing but advertisements?

Be self-sufficient like the Amish...

and people who are in China for whatever reason...
Plus, a lot of the local Chinese already know the kind of crap that the government is pulling (censorship, propaganda, oppression, human rights violation, etc.). So by censoring websites, especially good websites, will only further infuriate its people.

Or...
Jill: "Did you see that?!"
Bob: "Hold on, damn pop-ups..."

i thought asian countries such as japan and korea are the real pacesetters for broadband internet penetration/connectivity?

Will you still be able to hold on to those "principles" and "values" after all your LAN pals tell you how awesome the game is?

Well, if the price is reasonable and they use the extra income to improve the platform features (connection speed, connectivity, etc.) and perhaps offer more free perks (game newsletter, reviews, etc.), then it will probably be worth it.

that's what i do in AOE. i send in my priests first (almost always fail) before i overrun my opponents with my entire army ftw.

It's tactful advertising.

no, he meant whip up

it's only a matter of time that we'll be watching full blu-ray movies off the ps3 network, kind of like the itune store where we can pay couple dollars and keep the movie for 3 days or so.
