I wonder what PGC would do if that happened to them!

Two words: PIETRIOTS BEATDOWN! Even if they are on the other side of the world, we'd fix their little red wagon.

Ahahahahaha the internet is a serious business.
Insult Australia eh? Oh no, my fragile ego is hurt by that swipe at Paul Hogan. Guess I'll just cut my internet connection now and go outside and play.

I've heard that the attack was because the moderators are idiots there, and the announcement confirms it. Yeah, slander the entire country because of the actions of one person. Not that I go there at all, or even plan to go there in the future.

General Chat / RE:Microsoft calls Firefox a "very high risk threat"

I just dl'ed the program, and ran a scan...it didn't detect Firefox as a severe threat...maybe the story is fake?

I've seen the program detect Firefox and call it a "severe risk". The pic of it appeared a while ago, and the OS community chuckled. Since the program is still in beta they've probably "re-evaluated the risk level".

That'd be a one-sided contest. Last I heard the president of NAL was a cardboard cutout of David Hasselhoff Or maybe it was the real deal?

General Chat / Who is Jack Thompson anyway?
« on: March 04, 2005, 09:46:54 PM »
Just when I'd thought the "blame videogames for violence" debate had gone quiet, CBS decided to interview some people about the issue.. While they did interview some people who actually play games (Tim from Ctrl-Alt-Del and Scott from VGCats) they also talked to Jack Thompson.

According to his website, he's a lawyer from Miami who specialises in videogame-related crimes. He's offering his services to victims of copycat crimes, as well as talking about peddling the bandwagon of "video games are at fault" and predicting Columbine and the Washington sniper attacks. But we all have opinions. Read about his here and Tim's comments are also up

This is from the interview:
Quote
Different mediums, as they've come along, have had their share of controversy. From pulp horror and graphic novels, to movies, music and television; is this part of a cycle?

Yes, it is the last cycle. These are murder simulators. Manhunt has been called the video game equivalent of a snuff film. I am working with an Oakland, CA prosecutor in a murder trial in which the older gang members used GTA 3 to train teens to do carjackings and murders. The Army uses these games to break down the inhibition to kill of new recruits.

Look at the Institute for Creative Technologies created by DOD to create these killing games. Tax dollars paid to the industry to create the games to suppress the inhibition to kill, and then the industry turns around and sells these games to kids. One instance is Pandemic Studio's Full Spectrum Warrior. If it works for soldiers, of course it works for teens. The video game industry has absolutely no rebuttal to that argument. NONE.


Personally, I really think this guy is off his nut. And there are others who agree with me but I've loathed lawyers for as long as I can remember. What about you guys? Does he have a point, or is he just performing incredible leaps to jump to these conclusions?

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Why Nintendo must show the actual "Revolution"-console at E3: Must-read IGN editorial on Nintendo and upcoming E3 show
« on: February 11, 2005, 01:59:25 AM »
Nintendo are still undecided.
Again, IGN jumps aboard the drama bandwagon. Thanks for jumping to conclusions.

The best E3 impact would be to have some solid announcements about developers backing the Revolution, news that dev kits are easily available, and that developers are interested in the platform. Remember the DS unveiling video? Think like that, only replace DS with Rev and stylus with something else
But that's just me.

From the link above:
Quote
As a final word on Revolution, Ken took a minor swipe at competitors Sony and Microsoft, both of whom have made stat or tech-heavy announcements in the past, by saying, "fun isn't something that can be expressed in figures, and we are ever mindful of how we can illustrate the difference offered by our particular brand of fun".

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Silicon Knights still working on games for GC
« on: February 09, 2005, 04:44:05 PM »

GameCube Advanced, sourcing a German website, says that a Canadian newspaper says that Silicon Knights is working on the XBox2, and only the XBox2, not the Revolution or PS3.


Mmmmmmm, third hand news. Does that make it any more credible, like those leaked Xbox2 specs?

I just felt that the way MM was played was much different than any other game. You had to think differently because time was ticking away. Sure, you were still Link, but what you did (not save Zelda for once ) was what made it different.

General Chat / RE:Would you take a "Intro to Computer Game Development" course?
« on: January 30, 2005, 02:34:23 AM »
In my opinion, a more practical choice is some sort of software engineering course. At least you'd learn something useful

But in all seriousness, I'm curious as how you'd be assessed on the history of video games. Sounds like a real waste of a semester to me.
