40 years for a bit of porn? Even if it had been done out of malicious intent, trying to 'sabotage' the children, 40 years in prison is an obscene punishment. A single year is justifiable, though I'd just prescribe forced therapy and guidance for such a disturbed soul. But really, what harm is done here? None to warrant this travesty of justice.I'm with you, except that a year is an insane amount of time too and is well beyond a reasonable punishment for something like this. A fine and then some counseling would be apt, if it was done knowingly and with an intent to hurt or "corrupt", which likely isn't the case here.
As one of the latter paragraphs on the first page in the Wired article points out, many of those kids have already seen this sort of stuff and aren't worse of for it, they just shrug it off. A normal child of 12 years should be able to cope with this stuff and the fact that people three, four or five times that age aren't able to is very saddening.

This was also in Gameindustry.biz, I'd hate to be a Greek gamer wanting to buy a PS3.Every Scandinavian country is paying more than that. Sucks though.
I guess I anticipated getting shafted by Sony sooner or later, with my decision to get the PS3, but they could at least have let me get my hands on the thing first. I was fully aware of them planning to remove the chips later on, but I really don't think it's too much to ask that they at least treat the early adopters with some sort of respect. The emulation better fucking improve the resolution at least, with the few titles supposedly being supported. Oh and how about telling us what titles will and won't work?

I almost bought this today, but chickened out and bought Lost Planet instead. I'm feeling confident that I made the right choice.For me, Lost Planet wasn't exactly the game I was hoping it to be. I've had much more fun playing the Crackdown demo, honestly. I'd buy it right now if it wasn't for the fact that I still haven't finished the last batch of 360 titles I got my hands on. Crackdown is beginning to feel like a must-have title for me though.

I've never even heard of them but I'm pretty intrigued as to how they work. Do you just send in orders for other people to do or what?It's basically turn-based gameplay with really, really long turns. You don't send in orders for other people to do though, as that's automated.

Another post in the on-going "make the forums my diary"-series.
I actually went in and took that PS3 deal today. A few good games had to go, MGS3 for example, but I think it was worth it. The guy forgot to charge the 300 SEK pre-order payment, so that almost makes up for my sacrifices (like having to wait a month to be able to play Final Fantasy XII after it's release).
I feel really ambiguously towards the purchase though. On one hand I'll be getting a PS3 very cheaply, and with that comes a Blu-Ray player, but on the other hand I don't really feel I need one. The one game I'm very interested in 2007 is Motorstorm and that's not worth the cost of the machine no matter how you try to bend it. Right now I feel like I'm Sony's bitch.

It's the tapir from splashdamage. And it kicks all kinds of ass!
Indeed it does, and it looks like it could sync nicely with that green jumping thingy if they were both as tall.

Holy shit, add this to the smiley list stat!

Thirding Dawn of Sorrow over Portrait of Ruin. The latter felt short, even though both took me 10 hours to beat. They're great games, but even if you don't want to overlook the stylus things in Dawn of Sorrow, it still comes out on top. I think I prefer soul farming over having to grind skills, but you honestly don't have to do either to beat the games.
-
That is true, that is why I have simply listened to persistent rumours, how about you Oath?I'm just pointing out the illegalities of others. I'm squeaky clean myself, and couldn't be happier to see some decent titles on Live Arcade.
-
I only want to keep Shadow of the Colossus and We Love Katamari for the PS2 so the 10 titles won't be a problem. I'm not really clear on what games they'll accept though, as some people say only games released in the past year, some say in two years and some say pretty much anything is ok. I'll definitely swing by during next week and see what they'll take. Maybe I can bait them with some 360 titles.

I'll post this here since we don't have a PS3 thread that's active anymore.
So there's this deal that Game will doing up until the PS3 launch where you trade in your PS2 with 10 games (most seem to do) and get a 4000 SEK discount on the PS3 - that's over 570 USD. I'm honestly very tempted.
A console that's covered by backwards compatibility and 10 games I'll never play again along with a moderate amount of cash for a next-gen console is a pretty decent deal. I'm not sure I need another console though. I'll be debating this in my head over the coming weeks, and probably go insane in the process.
I'm not sure what I want to accomplish by posting this, but please, do reply with your opinions and similar deals so that I may become further enticed.

I hope they get some funding without having to sign any exclusivity deals.
-
Isn't there a rather hefty NDA for using the test version of the Live Marketplace? I mean "don't tell anyone or we'll kill you" sort of hefty.
In any case, I'll probably buy it, again. Online co-op perhaps?

I think these forums manage to stand out pretty well without relying on catchphrases and the likes of that.

I'm playing Viva Piñata and Lost Planet, though the latter isn't very good so far. Also replaying Gears of War, but we've had threads on that before.
I played the Crackdown demo a fair bit and would like to get the whole game, but I don't really want to pay anywhere near full price for something I'm certain I'll grow tired of within the first week. There are only so many buildings you can climb before you get restless.

Been hoping for this thread for a few weeks. Finally!

But as for Supreme Commander, it's actually bad? There's been a lot of hype about it so I'm kind of surprised you all think it's shank. Not that I'd know as my computer is incapable of running anything beyond Duke Nukem 3D. :~I haven't tried it since the beta, but it definitely wasn't very enjoyable then. I've been playing a lot of TA Spring with some friends and, since that game has slowly been stealing most things revealed about SupCom, nothing stood out to me. TA Spring might only be a hobbyist project but, except for graphics, it does everything better (with the right mods installed of course).

Do you mean like this?Yeah, but I've perfected it!
I can only do two fingers at that angle at once though, so there's room for improvement!

Double Jointed. Many O' People are
Really? I've never met anyone that can do it.
Not that I go around trying people all the time, but you'd think I would have found at least one by know. I'm talking a full 90 degree bend here!
As for tongue-curling; hell yeah!

I used to be able to blow air out of one of my tear ducts. It made a squeaking sound too. I once held a mic up to my eye and did it through some massive speakers, which really grossed my older brother out.On that note, I can stiffen my fingers and bend them at only the outer joint, keeping the rest straight and rigid. Also, when I was a kid I could make my jaw pop out of the "socket" where it's connected to the skull, just slightly, to make some disturbing, cracking noises. I guess I grew into my head later on though.
-
If I get tired enough I'll start to trip out ever so slowly. I'll be dazzled and amazed by being able to move my hands and sound will become all distorted. Everything feels very distant and I get a feeling of falling very slowly.
Maybe that's normal though please be normal, please ?
Anyway, I love when it happens (very irregularly).

I like Ubuntu and I think I'll do a partition with it (and Beryl, since I love flashy presentation) next time I feel like cleaning my hard drive up. How bad would you say the performance with ATI cards is?

Alright, done.

Well, if it's for phishing, they might send out false emails - like PM notifications and such - and get you to go to that site instead. After you're there they'd like you to go directly to the login screen and after that they'd have some personal info on you. It all seems rather unlikely given what needs to happen, but it might.
After they have that first password they can start trying to get control of other accounts you have on the web, since most people use similar or identical passwords everywhere. After a while of doing that they might have made some money - if you're unlucky.
Sony's latest accomplishment for Europe - PS2 game support to be "limited"

That's what import is for. Other than the machine (and perhaps some very cheap used games when available) there's no way I'm forking over money for something that can be had for almost half the price from overseas. Thank god for Sony at least having the sense not to implement region protection for games. Knowing them though, they'll probably patch that in with a firmware update a week after launch.
