If my place burns down, I'll just redownload everything from Steam.

We will help our friends at Sony understand this by mirroring the geohot jailbreak files at Carnegie Mellon.

Note to Sony lawyers: No doubt you're eager to rack up another billable hour by sending legal threats to me and my university. Before you go down that unhappy road, check out what happened the last time a large corporation tried to stop the mirroring of technical information here: The Gallery of CSS Descramblers....
Oh, are you guys talking about the sniper mission where you need to wait for the helicopter?
Oh yes, that was probably the toughest spot in the game. I'm not sure if it's even possible to beat this mission without sitting on one of the two enemy spawning points.
Hiding never worked for me. They always found me right away. Or rather, their countless grenades did.
It also depends on the game I think. While I play almost all games on the hardest difficulty, I prefer a few games on normal difficulty. Mass Effect for example, because I want to simply experience the epic storyline without constantly worrying about dieing.
In some games the hardest difficulty is a little silly. I've recently replayed Half-Life, and on hard difficulty you need to shoot about 25 to 30 MP5 rounds into a Marine before he drops. That's just retarded.
COD4 a few really tough spots on Veteran. I must have replayed that room in the radio station 50 times.
But it makes the game much better in my opinion. You can't run around like Rambo, any shot can kill you immediately. And those enmies have excellent aim.
I even turned off the crosshair for maximum realism. Real-life pros don't fire from the hip either.
Daggerfall was all random, yes. Travelling by horse was very boring because of it (and it took several minutes to travel "1 pixel" on the game map).
Fuel is gigantic. It has gorgeous graphics and environments. I believe crossing the map in a reasonably fast vehicle takes about an hour.
All the Sony apologists are hilarious. Sony messed up, and now they're paying the price.
As retaliation they want to financially ruin one guy, even though they know that the damage has already been done and can't be undone.
What about people abusing kitchen knives to stab other people? Should kitchen knives be banned?
The resolution of this screenshot is 2560x1600 which is a PC resolution for 30 inch monitors. This is not a console screenshot.
id isn't anything to go by anymore. Yes, Rage runs at 60fps. And this framerate target takes its toll because the game looks sub-par.

You just need to look at the trends. For December, 360 will be up year-on-year at least 50% (Wedbush Morgan predicts close to 100%) while PS3 will be at 0% at best (probably in the negative though).
At this point there is no way the PS3 can ever catch the 360. Obviously not in the US, but not worldwide either because the other markets can't make up for the US sales gap.
3-1 is too high. But I see PS3 just under one million units for December and a ratio of about 2.5-1.
It's about half.
Worldwide, roughly 180 million Wii, 360 and PS3 consoles have been sold, of which about 90 million have been sold in America.
There are.
360 = 50 million shipped through December 31
PS3 = 41.6 million shipped through September 30

No need to talk about specs. Amnesia runs even on the most modest of systems.
ZOMG, this looks so freaking awesome!! Wow, I've never seen anything looking this good. The vibrant artwork, the creative leveldesign, the ultra high res texture, OMG, BEST GAME EVER!!
Yes, it can. US sales for December are likely between 2.2 and 2.5 million units.
The hate against custom firmware is so ridiculous. Everybody who is upset now must have applauded Sony for taking away Linux? Because Sony can do no wrong, eh?
It has been too long. They will follow up with a full blown Half-Life 3 instead.
