I like our strategy. I like it a lot....Right now we're selling millions and millions and millions of phones a year, Apple is selling zero phones a year. In six months, they'll have the most expensive phone by far ever in the marketplace and let's see ... let's see how the competition goes."

That did work out pretty good for you didn't it Ballmer?

I have no love for Ballmer, but he was being pretty sane at the time. Who would have thought that people would pay $600 for a phone just because it was shiny? He just underestimated the market.

Why do you think they are doing anything to the pyro? It already got the class updates (which is where the flare gun came from) long long ago. Wasn't it one of the first ones to do so?

I didn't think they were going to do anything to it, because yes, I remember the pyro update--but so many people everywhere were talking changes that I thought I might have missed something.

Classes get nerfs/boosts all the time, in addition, so the whole 'pyromania' thing would be a good time for any that they were planning for the pyro. Like, the heavy had the sandvich nerf 'recently', and got a speed boost at some random update a couple years ago, etc.

I'm kind of afraid of what they'll do to the pyro. Pyro and spy are my two most-played classes. Spy's hard enough now that most people have learned to spy check everyone and everything, so I don't want the pyro to get better.

On the other hand, I rather love my degreaser+compression blast+flare gun. I can dominate with that. Please don't take it away.

I played the original Dues Ex and loved it, the the second one did not interest me much so I never purchased it, is Deus Ex Human Revolutions decent by PC standards? and is the second one worth playing?


I loved Deus Ex, and I went into HR being really skeptical. I actually spent the first part of the game being pretty pissed off at how terrible the movement was.

But. If you turn off the cover-shooting, and you avoid the press-A-to-win button, and you disable the make-everything-go-bright-yellow option, and you can tolerate how awful the movement is until you get a couple of augs, it's a damn good game and a good successor to Deus Ex.

The world is less interactive by a lot, but I guess it's about as much as you can expect out of a recent game.

I run open source software whenever possible, including Linux on my main work machine, Firefox on all of my computers, and essentially every non-game program I run. But. OpenOffice is absolutely terrible on my computer. Breaks formatting, produces terrible-looking pdfs, is incredibly slow, and does not gracefully recover whenever I put my computer to sleep.

MS Office has many of the same problems--its pdf exporter often breaks, formatting changes just from moving from one install to another, and it is quite possibly the worst eps-importer I've ever used--but it at least doesn't try to crash the computer when I resume from sleep. Sooo it tends to win.

US wants inventive ways to get research out of university labs and into the real world.

IP laws pretty much prevent this from happening.

I'm kind of interested in Okami HD.

I wish they would make a real sequel to that game.

I would love for a true Okami 2 on the PS3, but I'll definitely pick up this version. $20 isn't bad.

I don't really get why people are so surprised that having 700+ million gas-burning cars, hundreds of millions of heated homes, an untold number of factories, hundreds of thousands of acres of pavement, heavy deforestation, etc. might possibly upset/change things on a planetary scale.

I don't really get how people think that the giant billion-year old fusion reaction that we are stuck in orbit around couldn't have far more intense effects on our climate than our surface activity does.

For the record, CO2 isn't brown and there hasn't been acid rain in the USA for decades. I'm all for the equal protection of health and property but giving any government absolute power to regulate CO2 is to give them absolute power over EVERYTHING THAT BREATHES.

I'll continue to contemplate this next time I run 4 miles or bike 12 in smoggy Las Vegas yet seem to feel just fine.

We monitor solar output. I don't know why all of the armchair scientists think that they're the first ones to ever think of "Oh my god! You know what else could warm the planet? THE GIANT BALL OF FIRE IN THE SKY! I am so much smarter than everyone!"

Is it that I'm just too old to 'get' Minecraft?

Seriously, my kids love it, purchased the PC client and the xbox client.

I watch them play and think - meh.

It's digital Lego bricks. When did you stop liking Lego? That's when you became too old for Minecraft.

lol at people in the comments section saying the big N should name the new console "dolphin" *cough* wii pc emulator *cough*

The name 'Dolphin' for the emulator is a reference to the GameCube being codenamed Dolphin.

It's pronounced "Jif" like jiffy peanut butter not like gift.

this is from the creator himself.

The g stands for 'graphics.' Do you pronounce it 'jraphics?'

I might be interested, but it depends very heavily on the price. Anything over 20 bucks and they can go fuck themselves.

Creston

Blizzard has never priced their expansions at $20.

Blizzard also said that each one was going to be its own game, not an expansion so no doubt will be full priced. The price tag is for the campaign.

On a different note, my guess is the last 1% needed to finish is how to shoe-horn Diablo 3's always online DRM into this. And why wouldn't they? Did it with Diablo 3 and the customers loved it so much, they voted with their wallets and made Diablo 3 the best selling game of May. This tells Blizzard that people love always online DRM the most

Doesn't SC2 already have the always-on DRM? I thought you had to log in to play? No? (Never bought it)

Consoles will be extinct. PCs will be extinct. Soon all games will be old flash games converted to iOS. The industry has spoken.

He spends a lot more time complaining about all of the things that are wrong with the game than he does good things. "The loot sucks, the game is boring, it's far too easy, the story is awful, the online-only thing has done nothing good for me, I don't like the leveling system, but... but... it's pretty. And I like clicking on things. And I'm sure it'll get better!"

That's a verbatim quote. You should read before you post.

Yeah, cause I've always had such an overwhelming desire to play a black chick in a game. Spare us your liberal ethnic/gender sensibilities Ubisoft. Such a boneheaded move it boggles the mind. It's one thing to provide people a choice, it's another entirely to foist it on them. Definite pass.

Oh my god. Cry some moar. What about all of the games that make you play a white guy? Or a black guy? Or a white woman?
