Study shows casual gamers interested in Halo 3

Eh, those people take satisfaction in different things. I have a friend who enjoys talking shit in the mic, one who enjoys shooting the needler, and one who just enjoys wandering around and shooting stuff. They get worked constantly, but they still play.

I play at a higher level and take satisfaction in competing against better players. To each their own. Either way, the game is very enjoyable.

Or they could...y'know....get better. Like most of us had to at one time or another.

Or you know they could stick with the single-player portion. And maybe when they gain more confidence they can try new things, such as playing the game online.

yea whoever said Halo 3 was "hardcore" was definitely an idiot or something

Halo can be hardcore or casual. It just depends on how good you are and how much you play. Usage of the word pwn also plays a part.

Oh, great. As if it wasn't difficult enough having to differenciate between hardcore and casual, but now I have to consider casual and CASUAL casual... ARGH!

what about the Zune?

The Zune is to Apple's Pippin.

See, it all works out.

I don't buy that arguement, that I see get dragged out again and again, about the iPod.

Until this year, the iPod line always way more hard drive space per dollar than it's competitors. When I bought my 60 GB iPod, I could only find a few other brands that even had 60 GB at all, and they were physically much larger than an iPod is, or were video players with big screens. The Creative and other brands only made players that were 30 GB, and my thought was I wanted the most space I could get. I have a huge collection, and I often go on long trips so I like to have as much music as possible, plus room for lots of podcasts, a few audio books, then room to use my player as a portable hard drive for programs i can use on computers in hotels or wherever (portable firefox, portable thunderbird are great), and in case i need to grab some files.

Now, I think perhaps the other players have caught up in terms of space, but that wasn't true til recently. Though... are there many other players that top out at 160GB?

Yeah, fall damage is something people always forget. I'm not sure if this was bad or good.

It's damn fun to jump off a huge cliff and shotgun someone in the top of the head (and the man cannon wouldn't work) but it also requires less strategy and can negatively effect some flag games.

That's good that they fixed those things, since those are pretty much the two things that ruined Half-Life 2 for me.

Well...that and poor pacing, ill-timed load screens, and unnecessary/misplaced physics/jumping puzzles.

Oh look a Spam fairy.

I like Forge, you can do a lot of cool stuff in it but I haven't done anything memorable in it. I just toy with it for example I use some of the vehicles and explosive barrels to do stupid stunts a la "Jackass" and modify some of the levels for zombie matches.
