the mineral is, i am guessing, coltan. and guess what? not only is it used in the 3ds, but MOST major electronics. this protest group should have picked a better target like apple , whos billions of product sales likely all contain this mineral. but i bet these "protestors" love their iphone4 and are just waiting for i phone5!
the protestors want coltan from clean sources, not forced child slave labor. this drives up the price. how hard is it to get a "clean s...
"Bartenders and waitresses are tipped for prompt service and a good attitude while performing their job." is not that what the guys/girls working at this service, as a job, get tipped for? sure the job description may vary more than taking orders and clearing tables, but it is still a "service to customer" job. its certainly different but not the "world of difference" you would have between say a waiter and an astronaught.
ok what about if there ...
i personally would not pay a girl to do anything but some people may. however i tip bartenders and waitress/waiters when i goto a restaurant though. is that creepy as well? weird as it may be to pay others for services rendered, it is certainly not creepy. realise others may not be as fortunate as you are(good looking lotsa charm or cash) and may have to find attention thru different means.
do not companies pay women to add sex appeal to their ads on you tv and magazines all the time? is that creepy? is sexualizing women all the sudden taboo? are men not also sexualized and held to unfair standards as well? has none of you been paying attention?
this author repeated implies how creepy this is. to me it hardly rates 1/10 on a creepy scale. mebe hes like 14 or has not left his house in ..like ever.
you people compare others to yourselves. well guess what? everyone has a different drive, a different way of thinking. you may think gettin paid and fuckin bitches is the top of life, this guy obviously finds the lust for knowledge more appealing. is that wrong of him? mebe hes handicapped and cannot pursue a "regular" job or women? what should he do then ? play wow like all you fat neckbeards?(look at me, im generalizing people just like you!) the fact this guy has read a BOOK or d...
casual gamers are already killing our beloved hobby. god help us all.
for what this event cost them, they could have made a game.
"apple don't loose any money with any jailbroken iPhone because people buy it from them and jailbroken iPhone user still need to pay for services they use!"
why do you think the iphone was locked to one phone service provider in the first place? its because they and apple had an agreement. for every phone sold , that service provider got a contract. they in turn kick some of that money back to apple. its a common business deal between two companies. giving peopl...
last year they announced that demons souls was there best selling game(as a publisher) ever, and now this! atlus is on a roll and i hope it continues as they make and publish some of the greatest games.
geohot hacks your iphone so you can use any service(phone service provider)you want to, losing apple money = perfectly legal and you all love him
geohot hacks ps3 so you can use any service you want to losing sony money = KILL HIM NOW
you all are just like the pirates you claim to hate. you love hacking when it benefits you and your agenda.
what gets me interested in this game is the way they construct their models. they do not skin wireframes, they build them in layers to provide realistic damage to the models. check this old video: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
no guessing how the final product will come out though.
god you people know absolute jack shit about law. as someone else clearly mentioned, this case is civil, there is NO jail time for civil cases. why you think the people running enron pay 10 million fine and go back to golfing? its civil idiots. even if sony wins a judgement against him, thats just words. actually collecting the money is another matter altogether. if you cannot name the 3 jurisdictions , then shut the fuck up already.
geohotz broke the iphone against its creat...
so you look at the picture and see a 10 year old with breasts? you may be one of "these kinds of people" you are talking about.
OT: cant wait to get my preorder, this story is going to be great!
@whitenoise: "If not wanting to touch people who are related by blood to me or people who are socially deemed to be children and who biologically are not ready for sex...makes me xenophobic, then where is my badge?"
you are wrong on a couple of things.
the age of consent in japan is 13. society there has deemed that a 13 year old is capable of making their own choices about what they do with their bodies. in the US its 18. whos right? interestingly ...
all the people hating on this game going to xbox are truly trolls. nothing about the original DS was only doable on the ps3 by far(mebe the autosave feature, not sure if xbox does that). people give DS a free pass on many things it does not do that they would crucify any other game for not having, like the fact the npc's mouths do not move when talking. try that in any fps shooter and it would be 1/10 across the board regardless of anything else the game offered. the fact they are doing a...
i love gust! hope the soundtrack comes with preorder.
someone walks into gamestore to buy a handheld. they have 2 options. they buy 1 system. the other systems sale was hurt buy the competition. so yes ngp will have an effect on nintendos sales even if 1 person buys it, as compared to the 3ds.
"adults will buy ngp and kids will buy 3ds". wow.. wish i had a spare $250 as a kid laying around to buy a game system. if you mean that parents will buy it for their kids, im not so sure. nintendo has put a warning right on the ...
wish the article linked to hi res pictures of the images. im uhhh doing some research on sexism and gaming so would need those in hi res for a proper umm inspection.
kinect was exciting from its announcement. then the marketing blitz this past holiday season has whipped the soccer moms into a frenzy of excitement.
without delivering on peoples expectations, you run the risk of having that excitement turn to bitter sorrow , buyers remorse, and disapointment. it has already begun to happen. if it continues , MS may lose peoples trust in their products. mebe MS should have waited to release it till more polished, and varied, games were clos...
