I dunno, it feels to me like some of the things you quote are a bit misleading without the context of the rest of what is said. ie, after this: comes this: I don't see anything immediately alarming about the article itself, personally.

I'll point you to this other long post that had a lot to say about "meeting minimum requirements" re: Kotor2's graphic engine and integrated video. You can decide for yourself whether it may apply to your particular situation or not.

Liberty Vader was my fave too - although his mask as a house wasn't bad either.

Will they have steak? I'm hungry.

Orange juice and mt dew.

Paladins and their typical skills don't fit my playstyle, and I become annoyed trying to get through a game with them. But they are useful. And still playing Titan Quest when I have a moment.

On Golden Pond. That brought some memories back.

Actually, I kind of miss the days of no-graphic smilies. They weren't quite as visually disruptive to the text. Um...most of the time. Occasionally I would go overboard with the : ) everywhere. But modern smilies are just too cute.

I went through the same thing with books. I used to have tons and tons of books, from fiction to reference, soft cover, hardcover, autographed, photography, etc. Then I got tired of all the space they require (not to mention moving them) and sold or tossed everything I didn't actually use or re-read at least once a year. I should do it with games too, but they take up almost no space/weight and thus I just toss them in binder sleeves and forget about them, until a thread like this comes up.

They went into the garbage bin shrieking in protest, but I shut my ears to it.

Well, I don't have 300+ - maybe around/close to 100 in binders/on the shelf that I can name, and another 30-50 I've bought and tossed so don't remember. All PC, no consoles. And I'm not sure I have anything to comment on them, beyond the fact that I haven't actually played many of 'em all the way to the very end. lc_games.txt

Despite liking many of the title choices on the list, that's something that annoys me as well - even if some of them are good/influential games.

I'm out of Club Original Snack Sticks, which is depressing. But a 3-day weekend is always cool - although we aren't likely to go anywhere, since everyone else in the US also thinks it's cool, and every park/attraction/road for miles is always stuffed to the gills with frolicking summer people.

Oh, no, I didn't make it. It's just one of those I've found on various 'smilie collection' sites and squirrled away on my hard drive. I have no idea who made it.

Ah. So that's the 'difference' in making them available, then; not content, but permissions. He should have a contest?

Shame on you! Where do you think you are, ? Also, how did you do that? Good one, Meta.

Public access to downloads of clips doesn't neccesarily mean permission to use them in your own movie. But I'd have to read the website fine print or something, and I probably won't bother.

I have hundreds, so I suppose my answer has to be 'yes.'

The page calls them "integrated peripherals" - I have no idea what that means, tho. Small displays for other plug-in hardware or something?

I suppose if you don't already have them on DVD, it might be cool, but otherwise ... ? Are they stuff that isn't on the DVD's? Anyway ... publicity, definitely.

Wide Awake. A sort of autobiographical documentary about a guy with insomnia/nightowl habits, and a little bit of doctor-theory tossed in. Somewhat mediocore and self-absorbed film - the guy stars, directs, produces, etc. But oddly fascinating too, if only because while watching, I kept nodding and saying "yeah, I know what that's like and know exactly what he means."

Star Wars, minus the "new hope".

I don't know how it is right now, but when I was a kid, another issue was a lack of teachers for particular subjects. There was one year where one of the better science teachers had to teach history, stuff like that. Also, size of classes - students per teacher kind of thing. That was in public early/middleschools in the 70's/80's, btw, and not private or universities.

NOOoooOOOOoooOOO. Sigh. Well, I guess he has to pay for his yachts somehow.

I'll give it marks for trying to be different.
