The assault rifle used by the shooter would probably have rendered this useless.

well done!

So, a sword (5yrs) a shield (10yrs) a ring (15yrs) and finally this @20... When are they going to raise the lvl cap to 30? Or even 25? And really, can't they do something about the end-game? AARP membership and partial pay via social security & pension is really not enticing. At least this helmet adds 500 dps.

Wait, you mean sword arms & no mouth is not canon?!?!

Considering the role that porn has played in the adoption of new technologies (VHS vs. Betamax, and of course the internet itself) I wonder if this is a good strategic move, or if they have just handed Bing a nice market share increase

Fair point! I still think it would sell more product to open things up a little more and let people try to set mapping & configurations for non "supported" games as well though.

In fairness to the poster in light of the comments, there is a distinction between console-quality games and hardware in phones that is comparable to console hardware.

Agree. You want to provide a nice sandbox for apps with your seal of approval and built-in support, that's fine. But using standards allows a much greater range of utility of broader possible market share. I think they got greedy here and wanted to try and make their own little walled-garden of gaming app purchases,…

Yes. And still not all phones are supported. They have an app that tells you if it will work, but you need to be rooted just to run that app. I went through the trouble of rooting my phone to find it wouldn't work.

I Disagree. My MOGA was returned within 24 hours.

I tried for the first time, a few days ago. Every time I clicked on the option to pay, I received a server error.

This is such a tough one, especially without knowing just where the photographer was... It may look like he was close enough to run and help, or at least try, but a professional camera w/ high end lens could easily have put him 200 rather than 20 feet away.

My guess is that it will be like the first HD & Plasma TVs— massively expensive and targeted at the wealthy & aficionados, and if it catches on there will be an exponential decrease in price as the market expands and the initial infrastructure costs are covered

Cured through the power of Semantics!

No, it's not all custom... it's basically standard server hardware with an extra security wrapper and custom software.

Could be, they now own Cadburry's though

It's a double mis-direct. The posting & swift removal are meant to imply a forgery, while the subtle-minded operator will see it for the true advertisement it is and apply, or not, as they see fit. It need not be said that the "fake looking rock" is not the place to inquire, but lacking a desire for added competition…

$10 a year would be an instant buy, though I'd probably spend more if I had to. But only if I never had to login, from any computer, ever. That would be a strong barrier to use.
