yes, "transition is your friend" try telling that to a software developer who toiled through endless crunch time, 16 hour days, 7 days a week, never seeing friends/family.

These days it just seems as becoming a game developer is not the way to go. You're much safer doing a business analyst or PM job.

The obvious Blade Runner aside, I think one of the best cyberpunk movies was actually Strange Days ...

That's not how the Republican party as a whole is, pretty wide generalization there. It has good and bad apples just like the Democrats. Let's not pretend the Republican party is the only one with some baggage here, there are plenty of left leaning groups I would consider to be on Becks/Tea Party level of idiocy. I'm a pretty moderate Republican and I think Beck is a crazy moron, the trouble is the media keeps giving him an outlet and the audience that comes with it.

So some people are born for disastrous outcomes. This is something Beck is totally not looking at, the science that matters the most, the persons genetic brain.

We can't have a world that everything falls under "if one person f's it up, we all lose it", because you end up with nothing.

Can we reign back some yes. But to make this a black and white case is absurd. To be anti game and pro gun in that manner is absurd. Hell those laser pointers have a Federal Ban on them and guns don't. Which is potentially more dangerous? Neither does it's bad thing without a human driver. Pretty funny the laser light is banned... Killed perhaps not a person to day.

As a native of Washington State (from a town next door to Mt Vernon), I sincerely and deeply apologize for the existence of Glenn Beck.

I am so, so sorry.

Also agree with that Bab 5 was great. That's how DS9 SHOULD have been! (Although DS9 had its moments).

I'd be interested to hear you explain this more fully. I really liked both B5 and DS9 (I have them both on DVD). Both had series arching stories lines and characters that were developed over time. Were there just more characters you liked in B5 or something?

Hope it's not to arcade'ish.

I reviewed a previous installment of the series and it was most definitely an arcade game.

We basically know that, unless there is a huge surprise, we'll get more of the same.

We sort of know...It's a AMD pc, disguising as a console. Will be the same I hear from MS. When that is announced, the 15 year old fight is over. PC's did in fact win, the console became a close PC.

I for one have had just about enough "Modern Warfare", I'm ready for them to go back to WWII.

Actually, this is a good point. At this point, new versions of CoD or BF seem just like map packs, much of the gameplay and settings are the same. I'd really like to see them go back again to WWII with the graphics/tech they have today or to a future setting. Modern warfare is getting old and rehashy imo.

BF2 is def still the gold standard. It's sad to see the game dumbed down and the shitties netcode ever implemented. Unless they specifically state they have revamped the netcode, they can keep BF4 and any other versions they want to pump out.

Eye candy only goes so far....

Sometimes while shopping, BB will actually have a price lower than Amazon (very rarely). I gladly pay $5-$10 more to buy from Amazon even at the higher price. I don't have to drive to BB, I don't have to be hassled by salesmen or shoppers, have warranties or cable sales pushed on me, and my item is delivered right to my door. Even if Amazon had sales tax, I most likely will not set foot in BB.

Not to mention, you will most likely spend an hour or two in the store arguing with managers over whether the model you are pointing to on Newegg is the same model in stock at BB.

On the other hand when something goes wrong an Amazon delivery, a common enough tale for things like televisions, you're often left to deal with it over the course of weeks instead of hours. I don't really care if they want to push silly things on me, I'm an adult and I just say politely but firmly say no. I think some things are great to buy from anywhere but there is some value in the Best Buy return policy.
