Is it really that much effort to SHIT+CLICK?

Yea, because I don't have a computer in my bathroom!

Honestly, all this handholding is dragging down the industry for us hardcore types.

Agreed, and has been for years. Trust me on this one; I work in tech support. Some days the inanity is unbearable.

Blue, congrats on being called "the dean of Internet gaming news sites". I couldn't agree more.

148. Re: Posting leaked demos Jan 2, 2002, 16:04 Atomic
 
#129; You are right.

There are three ways to get this demo:

1)Buy the magazine.
2)Download it (now) or wait until it is "officially" available.
3)Buy it on Amazon.

I think all preclude the others. Whatever your option for getting it hasn't changed just because it is available for download sooner. If you have broadband, like I do, you are going to download it whenever it is available (which I did). If you have dial-up, you may download it, but you will probably buy it, either from Amazon or buy the magazine.

If anything, it seems as though EA making it available to buy separately does a lot more to harm the magazine than being available for download, because they are targetting the same customer that would buy the magazine.

Anyway, the demo was nice. I will probably be buying this game, and that is all that EA cares about anyway (or should be).

True enough. Just for the record, I did try AO (they offered a free d/l of the software and free time) and found the reviews and concerns to be valid. Too bad too, because I did like it, but not enough to forgive it and continue playing.

1. Great idea Dec 18, 2001, 11:33 Atomic
 
Heads up to the other MMORPG game companies; DO THINGS LIKE THIS! I want to try before I buy. Granted, it doesn't let you experience how their servers handle lag which can make/break an online game (*cough*AO*cough*) but if you don't like the graphics or interface, there is no point in shelling out the cash. Lack of a DAoC demo or trial is why I haven't tried it yet.

The fact that Activision can even create and market a brand name called "Activision Value" shows that they know that their "regular" games are not a value; i.e. over-priced. My personal limit for spending on a game is $35. So I wait for them to go on sale, which they always do.

Happy Birthday Blue! I turned 35 this year, and it has been interesting watching the change in the junk mail. I guess that is what happens when you cross demographics (From 18-34 to 35-50). So, I feel old too.

Keep up the good work.

Donations are just an informal subscription based model. People WILL pay for something they like. So why is that a better alternative that a subscription? At least with a subscription you can count on a more steady influx of cash. I don't understand why so many good sites are afraid of capitalism.

Yes it will. I don't know why so many think that open-source is the panacea of software.

They say there's a blackout on the game, but they still keep flapping their mouths off. Just can't help themselves I guess...

Maybe your right, but I see it as the "Are we there yet?" syndrome. These news sites just keep bugging 'em about a game they have been very specific they don't want to talk about.

I read that. How cool is that?

The world feels a lot smaller lately, and I think I like it. I hope we can maintain it without having to endure further tragedy.

14. I digress... Sep 11, 2001, 11:21 Atomic
 
This is sickening. I guess all those violent video games and movies haven't desensitized me to violence.... Proof that intelligent people can separate fantasy and reality...

But I digress....

I will be praying for all the friends and families of the victims, and also for our leaders. I encourage you to do the same.
