Am I the only one who thinks Video calls are just not that interesting? I have a couple of laptops at home with webcams and I never ever use the video.
I think with all these video phones, people will go nuts about the feature at first and then slowly realize that they just want to make a quick call.
I really don't know what's up with game developers lately and the need to put real life things into games that obviously could cause trouble. Be it a duplicate of a church in England or a picture of someone who was killed, it's stupid if it's not necessary.
If the game has a made up story, I really don't care if everything in it is made up. If you are inspired by a story of something that happened in real life, then change names, make pictures, maybe change the story a bit, don't just copy the real life story.
Now, obviously sometimes it's important for the games to copy real life. Like any game that is based on any historical event. If I play a WWII game, then I would expect all the history in it to be like it really happened. But that's History that you find in any library. And even then you have to ask yourself if it's ok to make this game. Obviously making a game based on the 9/11 tragedy right now would get you in trouble because a lot of people feel it's still too soon. So is it worth it?
To the guy saying it's been 15 years and people need to "get on with their lives": I'm not going to tell you exactly what I think of you since it would be a waste of time. However, I will say this, I don't think any amount of time would ever allow you to truly get past having your son killed.
I don't think you can ever get over having your son die in an accident, I would imagine it would be much worse to know your son didn't die in an accident and instead someone took him and killed him. And not only that, but he was most probably tortured before being killed.
I found my girl on FFXI. And now we both play wow. It really shouldn't be such a big surprise. If you are into playing games, then there is a good chance you'll fall for a girl who is into the same thing. There is just a much bigger chance of finding a girl that is into the same things as you if you look for her in the places you hang out in. Be it a bar, a club or an online community.
Sure a lot of these relationships are very fake, but there are still plenty of real relationships that end up working.
Also remember that not everyone who plays WoW is addicted to the game. Some of us have jobs and other activities.
Seriously, every day I keep reading stories of people complaining about the wiimote being dangerous. Yet it's always people doing dumb things. I've had people over to play with it and I have a small room to play in, but we haven't had any incidents.
People need to stop letting go of their wiimotes, stop throwing them so hard and for the love of God have some awareness of your surroundings.
