| It's not Blizzard that's being greedy, think about it. Were they ever this way prior to being bought out by Activision?
If you're owned by someone else, you do what THEY say, that's how it works, hence charging for 3 different boxed campaigns of Starcraft 2.
Again it's not Blizzard that's pulling the strings. Flag this | Edit this post |

| there's a little problem at the end of wolverine, which kinda REALLY affects deadpool. alright no spoilers from me BUT...seriously anywhere else you read about it, they mention a few little um....problems...with deadpool at the end of xmen: origins.
Ryan Reynolds is keeping his mouth shut about that part too ;) Flag this | Edit this post |

| Then they should stop talking about DNF. Period. The game was a scam designed to sell game engines. Gears of war...other games that used the Unreal engine...list goes on.
There was no game, and all this talk is purely designed to keep the public deceived. Flag this | Edit this post |

| There's a catch. Anyone catch it(no pun intended). And no it's not the price. The price is competitive, price is fine. BUT -
You see those things he uses the Slap Chop on?
THEY'RE ALREADY CUT DOWN TO SIZE so it'll fit inside the slap chop. OR they're small enough on their own.
Now just think for a second there. If you're already spent the time to cut that tomato in half...would it kill you to spend another few seconds to cut it into bite-size pieces? Flag this | Edit this post |

| Personally I think as men, we may make the big purchases sure.
But what we also compensate and hunker down and not spending anything for a long period of time...until we sense that we've recovered our losses.
We can splurge on console, PC, games and what not in one day, then spend thereafter only the bare minimum necessary to maintain life for a several month period.
obviously with single guys this holds more true. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Um no, that post is just about a guy who levelled non-stop - didn't sleep, didn't go to school, didn't work, all he did was play WotLK. And hit 80(that's 10 levels from 70-80) in just 4 days.
But this is old news. We've all seen the buddy or dude who finished the latest version of Final Fantasy in just one day and night of playing it non-stop, then complained that the game was "too short". Flag this | Edit this post |

| It didn't convey effectively what it was trying to say. How does this compel anyone to run Windows? Yeah they shouldn't have green-lighted this one...
The message didn't come through, the whole shoe-store thing wasn't effective...what was the core message they were trying to get across? It doesn't counter the Mac ads at all. Flag this | Edit this post |

| This is incredible.
Here's the list of games that these guys copied DIRECTLY from:
Vampire: Bloodlines
Diablo 2(Wall of the lidless artwork copied, border artwork)
Oblivion(multiple backgrounds copied and pasted)
Pirates of the Caribean(trailer stole some movie scenes, notably ship scene)
Black and White 2(stole the "good god" hand icon)
Unreal Tournament 2(train scene)
Rune(demon speaking audio directly ripped)
Painkiller(catacombs 3rd level scene)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein(1st map rip)
Lord of the Rings soundtrack(for background audio, to be confirmed)
World of Warcraft(Patch 2.10 border artwork advert copied)
Hexen(audio portions copied, to be confirmed)
LOTR: BFME(menu artwork copied)
This is only the tip of the iceberg. It's one thing to take existing ideas and evolve them into your own. Hitting the Print-Screen button and not even bothering to alter, or very minimally alter someone else's artwork is blatant robbery.
There's bound to be more...stay tuned.... Flag this | Edit this post |

| AoC is a PvP game, so hardcore PvP'ers will love it. But the question is:
Will it lure away WoW arena players? Especially when you can earn 6 figures from winning WoW arena tourneys? Will AoC be able to offer that kind of prize money? Flag this | Edit this post |

| Let's not forget another thing as well about the PETA.
When you take a look at these PETA protesters, how many prominent members do you see amongst them? Do you see any celebs, people of influence, and other well known faces? Any CEOs of large companies who actually have the power to do something? You don't.
Instead you see these raggedy bums and people who look like they're been plucked off the street and being fed by PETA...as long as they serve as sacrificial lambs for the shock value tactics that PETA is known for. If you were a beggar, approached by PETA to do this or that, and in return you'll be fed, given some basic $$$...hey man sounds like a deal doesn't it? It's similar to giving food to starving people - so long as they attend Church. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Skin grafts are being grown already. Is muscle tissue so far behind? But having said that...
The guy above said it better than I.
With everyone going nuts over "organic" stuff, who the hell is gonna go for genetic engineered meet(assuming we're not already eating it, right).
But it's a tough sell to people to knowingly eat man-made meat. Meat that was never alive, but grown from a test tube. Who's to say the meat didn't have some some of consciousness and by cutting off its life source of nutrient tube, you're "killing" it?
Aye, 1 mil is mere drop in the bucket. Come on PETA that's just embarrassing. If you can convince people to chain themselves to boats and trees, you can come up with something better than 1 mil, ESPECIALLY as a reward for the first guy to grow meat in a test tube. Flag this | Edit this post |

| He's acting ungrateful about it. When you get something, you appreciate it - don't jinx the situation by turning all negative about it.
He got more than he bargained for, he should have said Thank you, and then just shut up and don't say any more about it. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Sorry Peter, but it's true: you haven't come out with any hits of late. Any of you guys remember that top-secret game he was working on last? Something along the lines of it having the most "killer" AI? I vaguely remember something along those lines, but it never emerged to see the light of day.
Molyneux's just bitter that he, along with Richard Garriot, are just among the many so-called "big name" people who have been beaten by The Sims and WoW. You could see that as whining or complaining, but one thing's for certain: There's a lot be learned from what these two games DID RIGHT.
Black and White...sure it was cute, but nobody I knew played it. It got relegated to bargain bin status real fast - you saw it right there in EB Games. Flag this | Edit this post |
