    Utah: games as pornography Bill back for second run at becoming law

    Could be a good thing if like to play online, far fewer immature shit-talkers in your fps games. Why not raise the age limit on violent games? Maybe devs will take it on board and start designing games that are targeted at players that have actually gotten over puberty. Let's face it...

    Student Taserd for not having ID

    I just watched the video and read the account of what happened, plus the rest of this thread, and Im amazed at how divisive it has been. Part of me was appalled at the officers actions and other part of me was "ho hum, a middleclass student gets his hand slapped by the police". I mean, let's...

    Sony admits PS3 compatibility hiccup

    Heh, it's even worse than that. In Japan the 360 is shifting around 5k* a month against the ps2's 80k, unsuprising perhaps given the location. The story's not great in the US either, sales are much closer, but the 360 has not sold more than the ps2 in any given month since launch (up to July...

    I received a jury duty summons.What can I do to ensure I am not chosen to be a juror?

    Just print out a random selection of your posts here, I'm sure any sane judge would then have no choice but to find you unfit to serve. :thumbs:

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Preview, interview and(blurry) MP footage

    Unfortunately, the specs(optimal, not minimum) that I posted above, came from this interview which is only a week or two old. :rolling: Yeah, it's way over the top for a agme that started development over five years ago. It must be their way of heading off criticism of poor performance, look...

    That's a picture of the Smartjoy Frag, a mouse and keyboard adapter for the xbox taken from this review http://uk.xbox.gamespy.com/articles/565/565000p1.html It sounds as though it worked pretty well, just keep your fingers crossed for a 360/ps3 version(s).

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Preview, interview and(blurry) MP footage

    Not quite, the book is called "Roadside picnic" , but it was made into a film called "Stalker". The film appears to have contributed enormously to the look and feel of the game, but was made (and set) in communist Russia prior to Chernobyl. Both are highly recommended, the film especially.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Preview, interview and(blurry) MP footage

    mmm..... but that was first impressions though. He then goes on to say ; Which goes with what Ive seen regarding the differences between indoor and outdoor graphics. Given that the whole game got a facelift last year you can imagine how much harder it would be to give all the wide open spaces...

    BBC suing to supress critical report on Middle-East coverage

    No it isn't and no it doesn't. This is just a drunk man trying to make a clever remark that is beyond his level of sobriety. The fairest interpretation of Livingston's "concentration camp guard" remark involves an observation of how flexable a person's moral compass becomes when they are...

    Niceragua bans abortion for rape victems/women at risk of dying

    Stern, you of all people should know that Ortega hasnt been in power since 1990, I wonder why........ So the government of Nicaragua that bans abortion is the same one that the USA has spent huge amounts of money and effort in supporting, in order to keep out the lefties. Seems fair then.

    XBOX 360 and HD DVDs

    The problem with microsoft's solution is that add-ons for consoles have never worked in the past. Because you never have a hundred percent take-up of the peripheral, developers are reluctant to factor it in when calculating the platform's capability. So the HD drive will not be of any use...

    British SS valuing your home

    Great, more Daily Mail bullshit. This only applies to Northern Ireland which still has a rates system (unlike the rest of the country which has council tax) which doesnt take property value into the equation. That changes next year when they move to a property value-led council tax, hence the...
