Hail the Fish

I imagine that the jump from something like those to more subtle gloves using infrared reflectivity rather than garish colors will be fairly quick.

USB port or two, SD card slot, maybe a USB camera dongle in lieu of a built in camera, support for flash.

I sniffled a little.

@BrianH Oh, you mean the part where new regulations told banks they couldn't refuse loans to people who couldn't pay them because the government would subsidize it?

It's a nice balance RIGHT NOW, but the way of every governmental body and regulatory agency is to add more regulation. This won't be so nice and balanced in 5, 10, 20 years.

It's a double-edge sword, in my opinion. On the one hand, if they clean up Crapcast's act, that's a good thing. On the other, it sets a dangerous precedent for allowing the FCC more meddling rights in the internet, and I think more, and less beneficial, regulation is sure to follow. I don't like my Crapcast internet service being so crappy, but I also don't want to end up behind a massive national firewall with censored internet access like China.

Is it just me or is November 9 a fairly popular release date? Halo 2 also came out on the ninth of November, and a couple others I can't quite remember did too.

Or is that just a symptom of there only being 365 days in a year?

What the $&@!? It's a model that probably took a day or two to make and texture, that's it, it's a new cosmetic change, not even a substantial difference in the way mounts work or anything like that, probably uses the same animations and such.. why do people buy that crap?

Someone wanna give me a couple million bucks for boredly dicking around with blender to make a shiny pretty horsey?

Ubisoft's DRM will, if anything, drive me AWAY from PC gaming and more toward my consoles. I really badly want their games, but I have a laptop, I travel, and my ISP is useless and I frequently go through bouts of disconnects. The whole reason I -buy- singleplayer games is for something to do when I have no internet access..

A combination of a disk and a steam-like client. Buy the disk in the store for, say, 30 bucks, new, but you can only play it if you download something through the online client for a small but sufficient additional fee, sort of like how MMORPG clients work, you can buy the disk but it does you no good without an account. Once you download the verification software through the client, it's on your machine and a record that you downloaded it is saved to your account, so if you get a different computer, you can just redownload the verification software with a unique identification to the new computer and disabling the old verification, to play as much as you want without having to rely on a consistently available internet connection.
