and thanks for the definition. I had always viewed terrorism as a form of coersion, facilitaed through violence and fear tatctics, used against non military targets to acheive some ideological goal. I had never really considered the political motivations behind such acts. Thanks again for the perspective.
I agree with your comments, but I feel since you are one of the learned ones that exist on N4G, that you could have expounded upon your comments and given we the readers more insight as to the differences between true terrorism and how it is generally perceived. I am not asking for a dissertation; just a small explanation for those of us that are not political science professors.
BTW bubbles for the use of jingoism!!
the one thing I gleaned from the article is that even if you are smart you can still be stupid.
Wow, arguing with an idiot must make me a bigger idiot. I am referencing the article that was written, as well as the subsequent comments as the foundation for my comments. If you are honestly convinced that this is a netflix only initaiated deal then I can't fault you for belief no matter how misguided or inaccurate. Sony and Netflix entered into a partnership (after the MS/NF partnership was already established) and since you obviously know how to look up words I shouldn't have to define p...
I was really hoping for an intelligent response but instead all i get are fellatio comments you must be going through semen withdrawals or you wouldn't constantly be referencing it. Please grow up and engage in intelligent discourse if you are capable.
you should respect other people's opinions but apparently that is not possible for some simple-minded people. I am not going to insult you, you do a good enough job of that by just breathing.
all i can say is wow.
condone piracy, but i really can't condone stupidity. If someone is stupid enough or naive enough to think that there is such a thing as "secure piracy" then they deserve to be banned, moreover; they deserve an appointment with a lobotomist.
Just another example of a business copying the success of another business. Microsoft is the innovator in the online space and Sony is just being smart in following suit.
BTW
If the so-called RROD did not cripple MS why the heck would the PS3 getting something MS had already implemented (rather elegantly) be a crippling blow?
My Elite 360 is typically on 14-18 hours a day and it has almost zero heat signature and the exhaust is barely warm. I am very pleased with my personal experience with the 360.
apparently the PS3 fans have been clamoring for a long time to have something to make their arguments less stale and uninspired; and if it gives them hope then that is good, since hope is rarely a bad thing. Its what the losing side of any internet argument resorts to these days name calling and bravado; neither of which merit anymore attention than a golf clap.
I just don't get the allure of the FF franchise. I understand people love it, but I do not understand why. I really enjoyed the advent children movie, but thats about as much interest as I have in FF; but I do hope it meets all expectations for those that enjoy it.
I think Metacritic's convesion methodology is lame anyway.
hate is the last bastion of the uninformed and the simple-minded.
Last Fm blew me away, as well as facebook. I am amazed at how robust both features are (not a twitter user), and have to say nice job to the teams at MS, Facebook, and Last FM for a delivering such well implemented 360 versions. I was looking at the Zune Marketplace, and I must say I was surprised that you can buy the movies and not just rent them, thought that was very cool as well.
I thought the same thing.
it shouldn't effect usb devices, I believe it is for cards that insert into the memory card slot.
"Half-Life, the debut effort released by the PC-oriented Seattle-area studio a decade ago last month, put Valve on the map and remains its highest seller to date with 9.3 million units sold at retail, according to statistics released alongside a profile in the November 2008 issue of Game Informer magazine." Sorry but 9.3 million units sold (mot counting digital distribution) disqualifies HL from being a niche game. And BTW, Gordon didn't have a wrench.
IMO the PC gaming world changed forever in 1998 when gamers were taken by tram into the heart of Black Mesa, and the ultimately teleported to Xen to battle the Nihilanth as Gordon Freeman. Since that point the story of the HL universe has retained the tenuous position as my all time favorite game narrative, with GF being my favorite protagonist, and alyx as my favorite NPC sidekick. It's nice to know other gamers share a similar sentiment toward Dr. Freeman.
than not I am entertained by the bickering that goes back and forth between fans of (insert platform here). I know people that are just a vehement in their opinions of the superiority of their choice in trucks, soft drink, cell phones etc; and fortunately for us there are no News 4 Soda Drinkers websites to peruse. I am all for intelligent discourse and would love to see more of it here on N4G. Alas, most conversations I read on N4G remind me of a playground when the teacher is absent. I kno...
