I actually use Goodreads a lot. I worry that Amazon's involvement will turn the whole site into a link to the Amazon store.
But, for now, if you read, you'll like Goodreads if you haven't seen it already.
I laughed at that one, it was pretty damn good!
As for all this bickering about which is better, it sounds like the old Ford vs Chevy arguments. They're both good, just different, let's enjoy the differences.
I've been playing BF3 since it came out, and you know what? I'm not...
Of course there's a relationship between kids today playing video games and the cars they'll aspire to own in the future. Anyone who thinks there isn't is an idiot.
Hell, tell me you don't know, or have at least heard of someone who's designed a paint job for their car in Forza?
And...
I've listened to these things...They suck. But I will give them two positive points, one, the noise cancelling was on par with the Bose product (I hate Bose, but the QuietComforts stuff is pretty good), and the fit was nice. But for sound...any $150 pair of cans will kick the snot out of them.
Now that was simply awesome...
I think the cynicism comes from jealousy...I would love to be able to travel that much and do that much, although in a MUCH longer period of time!
There's a place in British Columbia that treats internet and gaming addiction. There was a blurb on the news about it the other night...4 weeks, $25,000.
BUT, the testimonials were quite positive.
I couldn't find a link on the web Sorry.
Oh, and that damn chart up there...
It says I'm supposed to weigh 179??? At 6'3"???? WTF?? I'm 202 right now, and if I got down to 193 I'd look like crap...SKINNY!! I can't imagine where I'd lose and additional 14lbs!!
BUT, for my wife, she's 5'5", it says 136...bingo. Perfect...
Google isn't a private company, they have strict laws they have to abide by when hiring, and singling out "fat" people is definitely a no-no.
Second, I really don't think that Google would do that...maybe the "skinny" people left at the interview were simply more qualified. I don't thing...
Means nothing when the people getting these bonuses are in the UK, and most of the servers are in the US...they'll have lag to contend with!! :rolleyes:
I thought I'd bring this back to life as I just got back into this and it's still a riot!!!
Dust off the COD4 (you know you've got it somewhere!) and join the servers on the web site above!
He has so many good points...
The 5 hour long interactive movie..The last really good single player campaign that I played was Far Cry (1). So open and free roaming...granted, it was still linear, but no where near as linear as a lot of games today. The multi player sucked.
Would you...
I was actually quite curios as to the ratio of PC/Everything else gamers...Looks like the 360 is edging out the PS3 though, a bit of a surprise....
Keep it coming, still need some more votes...
Ok, so, much like the other poll about the age of gamers, what do you spend the MOST TIME gaming on.
Using a PS3 for Netflix etc doesn't count, only for gaming....
Sooooo...what's stopping you????
Keep in mind, with all these people being surprised about gamer being 37 years old on average, there are a lot of factors to consider....
First, over 90% of gamers are over 18.
The study says nothing about what KIND of video game they're talking about...this...
The first Far Cry was epic...so far ahead of it's time. Graphics were amazing, and the free roam game play style rocked. And the story was quite good too.
FC2...I could take it or leave it. It was a let down for me...
I hope they get back to their roots with #3. Keep It Simple Stupid.
So, on the front page news is an article about the average gamer being 37 years old...
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20069682-17/a-childs-hobby-average-gamer-is-37-years-old/
Well, what age bracket do you fall into?
I'm 41, and have been gaming since the early eighties and the heyday of...
Ditto here...
I'm 41, and most of the people I play video games with are around my age...
But, that's on the PC, I truly believe the average console gamer would be younger due to it's price point. A gaming PC is just too expensive for "kids" to have, where a console is a fixed price with...
Facebook is evil. I didn't like you then, I don't like you now...STOP ASKING TO BE MY FRIEND YOU LOSER!
Sorry...I'm venting. I just don't think Facebook does anything that Gmail can't do. You can chat, post pics, change profile pics, send messages, blog, what else is there?
That was a good article, and anyone who's got a lot of wireless traffic (I an see over 25 networks from my place) should download inSSIDer. It's an amazing tool.
My little netbook takes FOREVER to get it's initial connection to my D-Link DGL-4500 Wireless N router. But, when it's connected...
Boooooring....
But I give it points for creativity...I'd like to know what the people who came up with it were doing/thinking....So, here's and idea...now that we're completely baked, we could do this in real life!!! Man, that would be sooooo cool. Pass the joint....
Why does everyone have such a hate on for CoD? I don't get it. The multi player is fun, there are tons of servers, and there are a lot of mods (well, for COD4 anyways).
Does the dust when you shoot a round into the dirt look perfect, nope, but that also means that it will play on more...
Wow, you guys are harsh...
So what, it's an old engine...but it works just fine IMO.
I'm more interested in the story line and the MP capabilities. We know the graphics will be good, maybe not as good as BF3, but close I'll bet. The thought of having maps made in real world cities has me...
