Fanswag: Win (almost) every 360 accessory ever [update 2]

Sep 12th 2007 2:33PM (Joystiq Xbox)
The odds of winning at this very post (I am sure once it is posted the number will already will be different) is 1 in 883. My chances are looking, well, not so good. Dang!

A little off topic, but, do you think they will upgrade the 5G iPods with the new interface?

Star Jones video game violence segment

Aug 26th 2007 6:58PM (Joystiq)
Well, I'll agree that the violence in games has grown and has become more life like, but, for them to say that t is the game industries fault that kids are acting these crimes out is a damn shame.

My mom and dad taught me that violence on TV and Movies and Games are fake and should never be done in real life. They taught me the difference between righ and wrong. My teachers taught me the same thing. We had D.A.R.E. that taught us about how bad drugs were, we had the Crime Dog guy come in and the police to tell us about how bad being a criminal is. Do they not do this anymore?

It is not the medias fault, it is the parents fault for not telling their kids what is right and wrong, it is the teachers fault for not teaching their students the right thing, it can even be the police officers fault for not coming in to classes to tell kids about crime. Movies are more violent then games and because you can't "act" out these crimes they don't get blamed? huh, weird, Saw 1, 2, and 3 showed me more ways to torture someone without actually being a murderer than any game I have ever played, yet those torture porns have never been blamed for anything.

Lastly, I know that Best Buy (and other big chain stores) require ID for any game rated M or higher. Without ID they are not supposed to sell the game (if they do they can be fired, I used to work at Best Buy which is how I know). It was easier for kids to buy R rated movies and even the Girls Gone Wild Movies (and basically any CD) then it was to buy a game!

Stop blaming the wrong people and start blaming the parents, teachers, and law enforcement for not educating the kids good enough. And, the lawyer made a great point, parents...just set the game rating on the system!

Not to be excited about Bioshock? Well, did you forget about Halo 3? Or what about Stranglehold, or Rock Band or...nevermind I am still excited about Bioshcok too. Damn the demo and your unusual goodness!

Universal releases over 100 HD DVDs to date

Aug 3rd 2007 12:13PM (Engadget HD)
I completely agree with you here. I used to work at Best Buy and we sold twice as many HD DVD units (movies sold out faster, players sold faster...) as we did Blu-ray. However, both are amazing. I would say that we will eventually see more dual players, and cheaper stand alone players soon. HD DVD and Blu-ray will exist together.

Marathon causes loss of lunch?

I stopped playing the demo because I started to feel like I was getting motion sickness. I played this game like all the other FPS games I play and this is the first time I have ever felt like this playing a FPS!

Win a super rare signed 300-Edition Xbox 360 Elite and 300 HD DVD!

OK, the best scene has to be when they build a wall of dead guys, then hide behind them, push the pile of dead guys onto the enemy and then slaughter every enemy. WE ARE SPARTA!
