I just don't get the appeal of 3D movies.

A New Game Unannounced from Blizzard
I enjoyed the storytelling in Bioshock. I thought all the audio tapes did a great job of creating an atmosphere. I just couldn't take the gameplay, it bored me to death.

Portals puzzles were perfect. They weren't frustrating, and that is extremely important when trying to move a narrative forward. They do have some none story based levels that I hear are more challenging, perhaps you should try those.

I need to listen to broadcast items so I can't. Yeah, these games take a while... they are awesome though. Well, 911 operators really shouldn't be playing games at work anyways

My college parking pass used to be more expensive than just getting a couple parking tickets every semester.

You should learn how to blow someone off better. Maybe learn how to say "no English" with a french accent and shrug your shoulders.

Wait, what? The Super Bowl will be played after the Pro Bowl?

I've always told my students that the single most important thing about a degree is that you actually got it. Whatever school or type of degree it is, the fact is you spent at least 4 years seeing something through to completion. Companies want to know they are hiring someone who can take a project and complete it.

Question about PS3 backwards compatibility
God of War is probably the only games I might be interested in, since I never played them. But I'm not dying for it, and then next one is on the PS3.

DRM Thread
I think it mostly has to do with marketing and maximizing release dates. Sales numbers are a bit silly, in that it isn't just about how many units you sell. They track all sorts of weird factors to determine goals. Because if your DVD is the number one seller during a weekend in Zimbabwe, that is a big deal, even if it is tanking everywhere else.

You can't turn the volume off on your computer? This was a pretty awesome little flash game. Brought back some good memories.

DRM Thread
Heh, I always thought zone restrictions were silly. Although doesn't MI5 have the technology to mod his DVD player? I'm not really sure if zone restrictions have anything to do with fighting piracy though.

MS in trouble again
Well, eventually I'll get it to run on my Tivo Box whenever I upgrade to an HD Tivo player. There are a few ways to make it work, but the 360 was a pretty easy setup that required no extra costs on my end. It would be neat if it came out on the Wii, I don't use mine enough.

Figured it out. Stupid bear eye was a bit hard to pick up among the pixels.

I just have the bottom. I'm still not getting it. Does the fruit do anything?

MS in trouble again
It's a shame, because Live is way better than Home. I really miss the Netflix feature. I got about $250 in credit at Gamestop when I traded it in, and I only had 4 games, a few of which were only worth a couple bucks. So I was very happy with that.

This is pretty much reason number one I jumped ship to the PS3.

I'm at 12, but I'm stuck there with an old chicken. edit: I give up. Where is the walk-through?- Movies you have seen recently
I'd probably put Will Smith above any of the acting in 28 Days, but other than that I'd say both are excellent movies. I enjoyed the ending of 28 Days much better than Legend, but then again, I think the ending of 28 Days was particularly inspired.- LOST
Finally caught up on my tivoed episodes. Awesome stuff! I'm really enjoying it, and I definitely feel they are moving towards a strong conclusion.- NBC's Kings
I agree. That's what torrents are for. That's called piracy, but I guess if you are morally bankrupt, go right ahead. That sense of entitlement you have must be justified in some way. I think the best way to avoid commercials is to get a Tivo.- What you did today
taks is probably right, I didn't pay too much attention to all the terminology. She probably needed more glucose then. - Host Master and the Conquest of Humor
