Seagate - the answer to digital distribution?

Jan 2nd 2007 1:22PM (Joystiq)
"This means we may be seeing the Xbox 720 and PS4 being entirely based around digital distribution or fully installed console games, mostly eliminating ugly load times and noisy disk drives."

Yes, we like to call those things home computers.

If that's the case then PC gaming isn't dead because every new console coming out would be...a PC.

Playing Dirty: Women on the Wii

It all depends upon how slippery the Wiimote can get before it shorts out.

Holy God that had me rolling in tears.

Dude you deserved to be hit in the nuts several times while getting your ass kicked over and over.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY "deserves" to die. This guy just wanted to serve his country and help out ungratful dip shits like you.

Goldeneye tested on 12 year-old, fails 'timeless' test

WHY HASN'T ANYBODY MENTIONED ONE THING...THE CHEATS!?!

DK mode
paintball rounds
infinity ammo
all guns
invisibility mode
invincibility mode
slow motion
fast motion
mini-Bond
ect.

These cheats are the reason I played this game so much. I played every single level with different cheats on after I got them and it changed the gameplay so much.

Also...

Why hasn't any other FPS had their own cheat system like this that was simple to get to, turn on and off, and use during certain levels? I know a ton of people that got a kick out of the cheats and is why they used the game so long.

I mean multiplayer in DK mode was good times right there.

Not to mention, Goldeneye STILL has probably one of the easiest user menues of any game I've played so far. It's simple to pick your game, level, and difficulty while others are a real bitch.

NYTimes examines Sony's worldwide appeal

Derbeste I agree with your post except for one thing, replace Ford with GM.

GM is the world's largest automaker and they're getting ready to get passed in that area. Also, Ford has a bit of trouble but I think they'll pull through. GM is an unknown and looks to be a sinking ship from latest reports.

That and I'm also a Ford fan but who knows?

Girl gaming clans as next-gen booth babes

Everybody knows girls don't play video games. They just say that so they can get into guy's pants.

Gamer feels cheated by FFXI's sneaky hidden fees [update 1]

Apr 22nd 2006 1:35PM (Joystiq)
"If something requires additional fees beyond the purchase price for it to work, it needs to be in the biggest, fattest, boldest letters so that the dopiest of dopes don't get confused. A little wee tag in some corner doesn't cut it." - TC

Welcome to the world of advertising. If you look around you'll see that not everybody puts things in "bold, fat letters." Watch a car commercial and notice the "small wee tag in some corner" about certain things they "skip over."

Foiled Columbine copycats are gamers ... so?

*sigh* We have some dumbasses on this site. Guns DO NOT kille people. PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!

Washington D.C. enacted a virtual ban on handguns in 1976. Between 1976 and 1991, Washington D.C.'s homicide rate rose 200%, while the U.S. rate rose 12%.

Florida adopted a right-to-carry law in 1987. Between 1987 and 1996, these changes occurred:
Florida/United States
homicide rate -36%/-0.4%
firearm homicide rate -37%/+15%
handgun homicide rate -41%/+24%

Assault weapons were involved in less than 1% of homicides before the assault weapons ban took effect in 1994. The same is true as of 1998.

As of 1998, no law enforcement officer has ever been killed because an armor-piercing bullet defeated a bulletproof vest.

1995 Fatal Accident Totals
Motor Vehicles 43,900
Falls 12,600
Poisonings 10,600
Drownings 4,500
Fires 4,100
Choking 2,800
Firearm 1,400 (1.5% of fatal accidents)

For Children 14 and Under

Motor Vehicles 3,059
Drownings 1,024
Fires 883
Choking 213
Firearm 181 (2.7% of fatal accidents)
Falls 127
Poisonings 80

When guns are banned, crime goes up. Look what happened to Australia after just ONE YEAR of a gun ban.

OBSERVABLE FACT, AFTER 12 MONTHS OF DATA:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2%
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6%
Australia-wide, armed-robberies are up 44% (yes, FORTY-FOUR PERCENT)
In the state of Victoria, homicides-with-firearms are up 300%
Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in homicides-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12 months)
Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in armed-robbery-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12 months)
There has been a dramatic increase in breakins-and-assaults-of- the-elderly

STOP POINTING THE FINGER AT GUNS!!!

Ok, now we can get to the real meat of this debate, carry on.
