@DominusSapientia: When you buy a car you are directly funding the maker to operate as well. There is no difference just because cars are less an artistic field (and yes, creating cars is an artistic endeavor if done right).

@registeraccount21: It really depends on how long you wait. If you go for games that have only been out a year or two, then gamestop is a bad deal. After that they are actually very competitive with online sources. I am just now wrapping up buying PS2 games and after comparing prices I end up getting from gamestop alot

This whole concept that buying used is somehow ripping off developers on money they deserve baffles me. Those used games came from an original purchase, that is the developers cut. For as long as there have been mass produced products, there have been second hand markets. Would you complain about used car dealerships…

@Thad E Ginathom: Well said, I am rather dismayed by the sheer amount of minimalism for the sake of minimalism going on rather than minimalism for an actual functional purpose.

@Datsun_John: Er, yes typo, supposed to be "isnt"

I personally hate achievements. I am playing this game for the game itself, not so I can earn some virtual golden sticker for doing some completely arbitrary crap. Ive never bought that it is for comparing with friends, of all my friends exactly 0 have ever gone in and looked at each others achievements.

Since English allows you to stack certain prefixes and suffixes it has many, many, infinitely long words. It is perfectly valid to have an anti-anti-something and you can keep that pattern going.

What I find amusing is that the dirt and rock we extract uranium ore from is classified as nuclear waste. Not only is it basically harmless when the ore was in it, it is less radioactive than the dirt it just came from

Would be a lot cheaper if you used a regular notebook rather than a moleskine. The paper will still work in either, honest.

I see the appeal and it was fun for ~10 hours, but at the end of the day, it just was a poor substitute for my dwarf fortress addiction

Booo!

@gigawings: Which you can also do with a netbook. I wasnt saying you cant plug a mouse in.

@spinnaker0: They were forced to carry the local channels and the have to give them a cut though.

@gadjitfreek: Observed and verified occurrences are fact not myth. It did stop a bullet. Now, this doesnt say any of the factors regarding that bullet, it could have been a ricochet or something else could have happened to slow it down

I think its fine to be rebroadcasting this over the internet, but charging a subscription fee is a bit wrong. I understand they have bandwidth and whatnot to cover, but they are still repackaging and selling freely broadcast content. At least make it donation driven or have that subscription already cover trivial…

A terrible keyboard which does nothing you cant already do, trying to replace a mouse with a touch screen, and an intel atom that wont hack it for decent gaming on many games.

It is a universal fact that your storage needs will always expand to the limit of your storage capacity and then some. Usually this occurs ten minutes after the price drops on that new hard drive you just bought.

I got my 60-inch DLP last summer for $900. I expect the bulb to last for 5 years and a replacement cost $70. The picture quality of the entire line got similar levels of praise. If you have room for a foot thick tv, go DLP.

@mrantimatter: It really depends how you used melee. My first and only run of the game I had one caster (heals only), one archer, and two melee. Nightmare difficulty from the start I had no problems getting the indestructible achievement without needing to spam pause and control people. Basically just set everyone to…

@Koztah: Cant say I do sadly.
