I don't trust the offline mode though, it's let me down a few times on holiday with games installed on my laptop. Without a viable offline mode a crack might be your only option.

We don't have a local surplus of power but buy from Sweden and Germany, and when things are really bad those crazy Russians.

A word of caution regarding humongous screen TVs. Check the power consumption before purchasing. It could literally be like having the dryer going 12 hours a day.

It's hard to fault their logic here. They were given loans that would otherwise not have been possible because the goverment was the guaranteur and encouraged that this was a good investment. An economic policy that failed due to the de-regulation craze which allowed the brokerage firms to run wild.

Hold on now, the 'common folk' were given subsidized loans to be able to own their own homes as part of a government programme and mortgages marketed to them that left them with very small margins if the economy ever got worse. While getting yourself into a jam like that is your own fault, it's also entirely predictable that it would happen on a large scale. Surely saying that people are just stupid is missing the point entirely.

There are services out there right now that let you have access to truly humongous libraries of music for a small monthly fee. The offline mode leaves a little to be desired, but honestly it's worth it for just having all that stuff at your fingertips. There are instances where you can't buy something but can find a torrent for it, but it's getting exceedingly rare.

I'd expect you to be able to make the connection as an intelligent person, Walsh. "Oh, the 2nd hand sellers are the real criminals, so I'm actually doing a good thing by downloading the game myself". The art of good business is being a good middleman. Money doesn't go from consumer to game publisher before other actors get in on the action and in doing so contribute to overall economic activity. On a related matter, one would have to show that these middlemen, such as used game sellers, negatively affect the quality and budget of games before comming out against them. Assumptions aren't useful here. You're quoting me but I can't make a connection between what I wrote and what you did. My mind sortof wandered off to what other people had been arguing.

It had its moments here and there, all the NPCs save one or two were poor caricatures though. It was pretty much what I expected from watching the development phase. Good enough for one playthrough though. That would be one of those elusive redeeming qualities.

I played it and felt it had few redeeming qualities.

Now you HAVE to buy deadliest catch or look foolish.

I wonder... A site where you can sign up to be alerted if a particular game is on sale on STEAM. Why isn't there something like that.

The director wasn't a fan of the American makeover he was hired to do. The original is in Danish, with Nicolai Coster Valdau and Kim Bodnia. It's many kilopaesecs better. Or is it farther. Unless you are talking about the Russian sci fi thing.

Learning to work together is half the exercise, it's not like anyone other than the professor is going to look at the finished project.

Wrong, yes.. Morally repugnant.. I dunno I would reserve that term for something worse. 'Morally having been out of the fridge for too long and not exactly safe to eat, but not entirely repugnant either' perhaps.

South Park is most fun when it delves into the political or exposes/ridicules something and combines it with the super ego of Randy Marsh or Cartman. A computer game can't be about current affairs, that leaves out a lot of the formula from the get-go.

He should have given the interface the spanking it deserves, I dunno maybe he tired himself out.

Warhammer wouldn't suck if they did it Total War style. Huge armies, tactics and strategy. You get a really crappy mutation of FPS and RTS instead. I do think it would make a bad RPG though. Warhammer is about the armies and the units.

You can bet your ass NSA already knows how to get at that stored data. I don't understand how key-logging helps solve network bottlenecks. I know for a fact that it can be used to rob you though.

You can now enjoy the imposible inventory with voice activation for every mouse click and navigation. Crouch to crouch in the game world. It wil be hell on your knees, but imagine the immersion.... Awesome !

A lot of you seem to be missing the point. You can't make a game out of Georgio Armani or House MD. Although they are undoubtedly very well known, they just don't translate to a game.

People still want to see movies in a theater, it's just that prices at the cinema have skyrocketed the last few years. They really are shooting themselves in the foot by pushing all of their overhead from expensive 3d hardware onto an ever smaller consumer base. It's going to be available to home viewers soon enough anyway. They will need to cut prices drastically soon or go out of business.

Get the BBC series with Jeremy Brett. What's the point of Sherlock Holmes if you can't have top hats, canes, cloaks and carriages.

How can a common first name be censored, that doesn't make any sense.

Although I have to admit I don't know **** about the family game genre. I don't think South Park qualifies, it's too 'controversial' or whatever.
