What karoc said. Plus tuor, you clearly never learned the actual point of those cartoons you are raging about.

Not really. Proview is a bankrupt company, other people own their property. This trademark isn't some big companies thriving IP. On top of that, Apple DID pay to use the name. The issue is there was a stipulation saying they could not use it as the name of a personal computer. The entire thing hinges on the iPad being…

Sony is just a member of the consortium for bluray, they do not own or have control over it in its entirety. Cross licensing is normal, I can guarantee Sony cross licenses things from Microsoft.

You do realize how big those were design wise when they came out, right? I mean, they seem ugly and cheap now but it was a big step forward for computers when they actually came out from a design and UI perspective.

Currently the kit printers are all very, very low res and require a lot more finishing work. They are a fun hobby, but not a replacement for a serious printer.

You do realize the qualifications for testing games are basically "is breathing" and "can read."

Those pieces people bitch about being useless are some of the best pieces for doing scifi stuff. hell, people bitched about bionicle and mech builders have used the pieces to make crazy stuff.

Lets face it, if you were a Japanese schoolboy into anime you probably still would.

I can't speak to Bandai particularly, but that really applied to the whole industry back when I was watching anime 8-10 years ago. The fact is the distributors did a lot to fuck themselves over. 30 dollars for 2 episodes of a 10 year old show? Box sets for 200 dollars that didn't have the last disk because lord knows…

This really isn't dramatically different. Zone was presented in a way to make seem like a simulator focused on constant speed. The new mode wouldn't have been very different, just that it would have focused on training the combat/evasion portion a bit more.

Its an alternate mode. Zone mode was really, really fun and this sounds mostly like an extension of that. Same concept but instead of never ending acceleration it is never ending competitors.

Indeed we do, I would go so far as to say hippies drove software. Do you think open source was the creation of businessmen? Filthy nerdy hippies.

There really isn't, and on top of that when you organize a large event the person running it normally runs through and approves panels. Notch is basically a horrible businessman, doesn't seem to know what he is doing at all, and seems to have no real intention of learning or hiring people who do.

People who are into their hair, as in really styling, can easily go weekly. A well maintained short mens cut needs to be trimmed once a month, minimum, to keep from getting shaggy. If you have heavily styled hair, crazy dyes, extensions etc it is incredibly time consuming and expensive to maintain. Getting hair cut,…

"(which is crap—you write the story first, then develop the game around it, not the other way around)"

My point was more that because of the success and focus of multiplatforms, that I feel like the PS3 would have dogged way worse without exclusives. Without exclusives the Xbox would have had a year long lead with no competitions, multiple years where the PS3 markedly more expensive making it less desirable, etc.…

Nah, some jackass just came by and replaced all the stickers.

Put it in perspective, do you think the PS3 would have the success it currently has without those exclusives? The 360 had the head start, the marketing, and the ecosystem. The PS3's selling point was its potential exclusives and bluray. It only survived because of that history of exclusives. If it wasn't for the…

Bayonetta did not remotely invent that.

Just google image search "awesome business cards" or some variant of that and you will get a ton, including another razor card.
