@Drakkenfyre I called it uncommon because when Steam looks at the hardware (In the yearly survey), and can not identify it. Doesn't even get classed as integrated graphics.
The chip can run games with low requirements like Torchlight & San Andreas. It can't even run AoE3 that I got for 10c without everything turned right down to minimum. But that is understandable... Considering the chip is only meant for Windows Aero and HD movies.
@The Aquacharger Thanks for the info. What I meant to say was my laptop runs Team Fortress 2, but not with decent performance, because it has a uncommon intel integrated graphics chip. It's a cool game, but because I'm such a bum I can't play it.
Make another Monkey Island game, make it more interactive, make the puzzles actually logical. I always try and do something that would work but the game says - "That won't work because we want you to solve it like Ron Gilbert". Now that I'm onto the subject. Make a Monkey Island spin-off with SE style graphics that features realtime sword-fighting, as well as the puzzles. That doesn't mean it can't be funny. Don't make it a fighting game, but it would be cool to have some sword-fights every now and then.
Comic Jumper was a very ambitious title, but I wasn't impressed by the trial (If you ignore the fact that a very-very small studio made it). Splosion Man on the other hand has always impressed me; the gameplay is silky smooth, and so simple it just works well.
A friend of mine knew a friend that played pirated PSX & PS2 & Xbox games. Ever since that person became a teenager they spent almost every dollar that they ever got on Xbox 360 games and DLC. The person is a game addict, wasting away, sitting there accumulating gamerscore like cocaine.
OK, story-time over. The moral of the story is when someone has access to lots of things for free, when they suddenly learn about ethics and such, they kill themselves with their still present greed for that thing they once had much of, and end up spending lots of money on that thing. They end up spending x10 more than a regular customer.
If game companies can cut game pirates access to their games for free, then that is like the above story, only this time the pirate is being forced to change. When they have no crack, they will pay as much as possible to get it back. This is where onLive comes in. It is almost impossible/ or is, to hack. When the next consoles after this generation come out I bet they are like onLive (streaming), and the GameStops will sell games at a discount as code cards.
