It boils down to companies (not people) being unable to get loans. The vast majority (90+%) of companies in my experience use lines of credit as a way to leverage their business to grow and improve. If you were to suddenly prevent these companies from obtaining lines of credit, one of two...

If I remember, the original Starcraft was in development a long time considering how quickly games were released back then.

Grats. Make sure you plan a "fun" honeymoon. :naughty: (I went to Disney World for mine, it was fun, but wayyyyyy to many kids)

*unbiased eye* I think Sarah Palin is still new enough to the Federal Government that she is trying to get her "sea legs" in regards to the Federal Government and its policies. She may have about the same amount of time in politics as Barack Obama, but Barack has spent his time on the...

I remember growing up and my parents telling me about the JFK Assassination and the Cuba Missile Crisis. I understood historically what had happened, but it never really "affected" me. I now see strong parallels between that and 9/11 and the Iraq/Afghanistan Wars in terms of how it affected...

So long Ensemble Studios. It's sad to see that a publisher can arbitrarily close a developer that is responsible for so many critical media and financial hits. I personally wasted weeks of time playing the various Age of Empires games...

If a game has gambling in it, does that mean you should be 21 (depending on the country or state you live in) to play it? To be honest, I'd be ranking kill things/people above animated use of drugs in terms of things I would want to ban in a game.

First off, I've taken US, European, and Chinese history courses in college. I am no history expert, but I definitely know a thing or two about history. As for Hilter, Populist Leader =/= Libertarian. Hilter always embodied ideas contrary to libertarianism. In terms of Obama, I wouldn't...

Did you random throw political words together? Hilter was anti-communism, pro-nationalism dictator. Fascism deals with pro-nationalism combined with race or other uniting factors to generate unity to combat perceived problems with a society. Libertarianism deals with giving individuals...

Ditto. Though I'd prefer another season or movie of Firefly before a MMORPG.

Congrats :cheers: Have fun planning the wedding. *snicker*

I am a tax auditor for the IRS. (really I am) A VAT system has a lot of advantages, but the transition from a progressive system (what we currently have now) to a VAT system will be difficult at best. Some things to consider: 1) Elimination of an entire occupation (tax preparers) across the...

It isn't that WoW isn't a game for casual, in fact quite a few aspects make this game desirable for casuals. However, I started playing WoW upon its release along with millions of other people. It made leveling up quite compelling because lower level zones were populated with other people...

Change your router settings to enable WPA 2 security for you own good. Without it, people can access your internet connection for free and compromise the security of your computers.

WTB [Browser that works with PDF files with out freezing or crashing] Seriously, FF3 & IE7 are already decent browser, but they suck ass with PDF files. Either PDF needs to be eliminated as a standard file type, or we need a solution to view PDF files in a browser without killing my internet...

Except you are missing all of the other elements of probable cause they listed in the article. Frankly if you all want to spaz because you think a cop is going to search your car on the sole basis of having an air freshner, go right ahead. I am saying you have nothing to worry about. Have...

Did your girlfriend cheat on you with WoW or something? Your hatred of WoW seems strong. Don't like it, don't play it. Considering that you can try the game for free for 10 days or get a full month's play for $15, it isn't an expensive investment considering the cost of an averaged price...

Talk about a gross oversimplification of things. How many people do you know drive with their car smelling like laundry detergent or dryer sheets and are not trying to cover up the smell of drugs? I am not about to read a court case in my spare time, but I will say that most court cases...

I am an recovering WoW addict. I had a lvl 70 Paladin, lvl 70 Warlock, and a lvl 55 Priest. WoW is far more subtle than Diablo 2. WoW is more of a finesse game than Diablo 2, the finer points don't come out unless you spend the time looking for them. An example would be the quest dialogue...

Yet, you cite three games, but each of those three games had unique reasons which caused the costs of the games to go so high*. The fact is crysis was a quickly designed and completed game (Far Cry was released in 2004 and Crysis was released in 2007) yet still had a huge budget is worrysome. I...
