Wrath of Dagon

Why don't they make the comic available without registration? Why do I have to register just to read an advertisement for the game? Makes no sense.

If only someone came up with a way to control conductivity simply by applying a voltage. That could transform our society.

Ok, I found out why the hard drive is so cheap. It must be imported from China since it shows up in Chinese characters on the Xbox menu. Seems to work OK, hopefully it doesn't affect the warranty.

Vermont.

Uh, no. First-past-the-post is more likely to lead to mob rule and the weakening of the rights of minorities than a system which is preferential and/or proportional. You'd be in a much better position to argue that your system supports the rights of minorities by referring to, say, your bill of rights. I was talking about the US constitutional system in its entirety, not any one feature taken as a stand alone. But more specifically, it was predicated on the notion that representative democracy is less likely to lead to mob rule than direct democracy.

US system was never designed to be the most democratic. It was designed to be workable and stable, and to guaranty minority rights instead of mob rule.

$50 million for DLC (which I think was only timed exclusive), not for the entire game, that would be a lot more expensive considering the sales they'd lose. Of course Nitendo's spending billions for the launch, so it's not out of the realm of possibility, but still I doubt they'll go that far.

Well, OK, but it makes it sound like they're moving real information instantaneously, which isn't the case. I guess once you observe it, it's no longer instantaneous, or something like that.

Nintendo would have to pay Take 2 like $300 million dollars to get GTA5 exclusive. I seriously doubt that, unless it's some exclusive DLC or something.

Kalo Nord was cool. Bioware already retconned Kotor 2 because in TOR timeline it says Revan and Malak met the Sith Emperor, while according to Kreia it never happened.

This is the part that made it sound like it was instantaneous, and that's what I didn't believe:

Kapryshyn to write a book about what happened to Revan: http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20110422 I guess that's what we get instead of KOTOR 3, thanks Bioware.

Quantum teleportation of light achieved: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2...anous-computing Not sure I believe this, does this mean they can transfer info faster than the speed of light?

No one cares, the publishers make their money in the West. The only way to make money elsewhere is to make the game there, and then you have to use different means to monetize it, like on-line microtransactions.

Little known fact: Old Xbox supported both 720P and 1080i. Of course there was only like one game in each resolution. As far as piracy, sure, it was always around, but with the internet it's a hell of a lot bigger problem. By the same token, piracy is a problem for consoles also, but only a small percentage of them are modded, thus console piracy is still a manageable problem. And may be there were "big" games in 2007 (that's 2 years after 360 came out), but they're all mainstream crap, only after 3 years or so is there enough diversity that I can actually find stuff I like.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the new much more powerful game engines are only starting to come out now, Crytek, UE4, Id5, Frostbite. That should carry the current gen for another couple of years, and then they'll start talking about the wonders of the new generation.

Piracy is what killed AAA PC game development, not consoles. In any case, when the last generation of consoles was introduced, there were almost no good games for 3 years or so. Introduction of new consoles is very disruptive, I don't blame them for trying to drag it out for as long as possible. Tablet, phone games are fundamentally different short pick up and play time wasters, not real games.

New Xbox and PS not expected till 2014: http://kotaku.com/#!5794000/microsoft-...do-in-the-clear

The most common occupation for a terrorist is engineer. Just saying.

Yes. Because the best thing we could do is bomb the crap out of schoolchildren. ~~ My understanding is that this is about 24/7 indoctrination as Gorgon says. This kid is genuinely a victim of terror, at least in my eyes. Bombing is the only way to go after someone, that's for sure. I can see now how you guys got your empire.

Btw, the PC is limited too so long as so many people still run a 32 bit OS, limiting games to 2GB for years now.

Pretty sure it's BS, of course it depends whose lawyers are better. He was claiming the rights would revert to Interplay unless Bethesda lets them make the MMO.

Rage runs on consoles, so why wouldn't Doom with the same engine (and probably smaller areas)? PC only development isn't viable for most publishers.

The problem is the West is too weak minded to go after those schools, even when they're in the West.
