...or masturbation.

Quite optimistic.

Let's say : Nintendo found out that some people are bored of being assraped by Valve/EA games/and so on...
Hardcore gaming only means:
"Hey kid ! Ask your dad to pay you another brand new graphic card just in order to play the same game, but with 3* more polygons !! Isn't that totally HARDCORE !?! Yeahh !! And if you don't do so, you'll be the pwned looser of your class !!11!1 LOL"

Nintendo just says:
"You're not hardcore ? You f*cking don't care about FPS, polygons and vertex shaders? Here are some games for you !"
...and it works !

From my point of view, today, "hardcore gaming" is just like a Wild Wacky Action Bike :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpYty1PaZLM

You're not that much into hacking... or even computer related stuff, right ?
Because this movie is only targeted for "VB4 big green progress bar" lovers, not IT crowd...

Sorry...
With this new "Achievements" thing, I became some kind of Slashdot attention whore, spending my mod points as fast as I can, and replying, even if I have nothing to say...
I'm gonna calm down.
Sorry.

He means "De Gaulle must be with Turing in his grave"
We all know wht Alan Turing commited suicide right ?
Aahh love is in the air...

mod parent +10 insightful.
Sadly, that's exactly the way things gonna happen.

..and we f*ckin don't talk down to you, you dirty b#stard !
You're not the center of the universe, we talk down to every-motherf$cking-one on this planet, comprende ?

Well, "terrorist" aren't Marvel super vilains. They don't nuke things for fun. They're often just a little bit upset that the US government bomb their countries in order to steal their natural resources. So, if I were you, I wouldn't be afraid about these wind turbines being attacked.

You clicked the wrong bookmark... 4chan is the one with a 4 leaves clover.

Well... yes. It's called stations. You just don't need a car to travel from one point to another... You have feet (well, maybe not, but 99% of us do), it's plenty enough in most case. OK ,ok, in your car, you may listen to the music you like, it's warm and you can fart whenever you want. Nothing a good jacket, an mp3 player and some education can't fix if you decide to use your own feet instead of a 4WD, 2 tons, oil hog.

Maybe because in '09, some nerds still like NASA (mostly) useless stuff and some nerds just like funk and mashups ?

U're anal ? Well, it's OK for me, bro'. Personally, I first read : "I'm into CP and I'm 4-1/2 long". Wanna meet ?

Also Urban Terror (looks like Counter-Strike)... Fixed that for you ;) It's more like Quake III: fast, fast, and... ... often way too fast for me. but fun.
