Be off, begger-beard! :)

Updated graphics and sprite animations do not honestly change what is effectively the "Apple ][C version", as you put it. If you feel so strongly about it, then I'll gladly provide you a PayPal account for you to send me $15. Lemme know. ;)

You gota be f$&%ing kidding me.
$15 for a game that I played on my Apple II Plus, TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO?!!!
Thankfully I already have this on my cell phone. I'm disappointed in you, XBL.

Mamma mia!

Let's not forget the Brain Drain that usually occurs when studios and developers are bought out. Anyone remember Rare?

You all forget that scientists need to earn grants to fund their research. One can do this either by researching something interesting and useful to society, or by making sure that your name gets a lot of press coverage. We all know which one is easier.

P.S.- Where are GRANTED and darklink? Guess they couldn't find a retort.

Hope they seat you next to someone cute.

Doesn't matter what the subject matter was - she could have been blogging about Mother Theresa and Jarred the Subway Sandwich guy for all I care. The point is that your employer expects you to spend your time productively and not waste company resources (i.e.- your computer and internet access) on activities not related to your employment.

We always read from these websites and gaming industry groups how the industry is "growing up", and how "the average age of a gamer is 29 years old." If this is the case, then the industry needs to grow with the gamers. Some adults may actually want to play Manhunt 2 (otherwise I imagine Rockstar wouldn't have worked on it.) I believe that it's on the console manufacturers to allow AO titles for those adults who want them. If they single-handedly restrict the level of maturity in content, then they are condemning the industry as "kids only", which makes arguments from people like Jack Thompson and the CCFC effectively valid.

As for retailers: they ned the choice on what they wish to stock. Companies like Target and Wal-Mart brand themselves as being family friendly, so clearly they cannot stock AO titles and keep their image. This should not be a problem to anyone as there are many other stores, on-line or otherwise, who will stock AO titles... if the console manufacturers allow them.
