Comment Bandwidth, speed and ownership FTL (Score 1) 232

Games are getting bigger and bigger, and ISPs are giving us less bandwidth per month. On top of that, unless you're running Fiber its still faster to run down to the store, pick up the game, come back and install it or just run if your on console, than it is to download it. Give me a 25-50Mbit fiber with unlimited monthly bandwidth and a guarantee that what I download is mine to do with what I will, then ill stop buying physical media. Shame that'll never happen.

Woman Jailed For Starting Office Fire To Leave Work Early 136

A Florida woman was sentenced to nine months in jail, followed by five years of probation, for starting an office fire so she could get out of work early. From the article: "Pasco sheriff's investigators said Michelle Perrino, 40, started a fire at Bayonet Point Oxygen on May 12, 2009. Perrino drew suspicion when she mentioned the fire's origin — a filing cabinet — during an employee meeting. Employees had not been told where the fire started." I hope she had the good sense to start the fire on Friday so she could have a long weekend.

They'd be wasting the effort sending that garbage to me. I'd refuse to buy into whatever it was just out of principle. Send me an ink allowance and i don't really care as long as it doesn't start printing ads on my school papers. Lol The cost of an ink cartridge is more expensive than half of the printers themselves. Firewall it. :/

In my opinion, I don't believe we need simpler games. If anything they could stand to be a bit more complex. Most, if not all games now I find too simple. Go from point a to point b and kill c. I don't mind a long game if it's good enough to keep my attention long enough to finish it. A problem I see now is all these companies have grand scale ideas and aspirations, but then fail to meet them by the time it's released. Theirs either not enough content, or the content is cheap and repetitive missions/quests that feel copy and pasted. I know a big problem with that is still the technology they have to work with. A.I. is still relatively simple, physics and design have still only advanced so far (largely due to the limitations of today's hardware and not the concepts themselves). Give me a game I can be challenged by and sometimes a little frustrated at, feel triumphant when I overcome said challenges and generally enjoy playing.. and I'll feel good about paying 70$ for it. If it's good enough I don't care if it takes 40+ hours to complete.
