Ah yeah that explains a lot of the figures being off.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I was being sarcastic with the second part. The consumerist poll was pretty much bombed by 4chan's /v/ n Reddit's /r/gaming with a few odds n sods here n there. I'm not opposed to the idea. I just feel that games downright suck with characters, and pretty much any time a some form of minority pops up it gets stereotyped to hell n back. Thus I'd prefer to wait until "normal" folks are done fine n dandy before moving onto others. We have already discussed this on the other thread.

haha. We watched that in first year as part of our "b-movie nights". It was pretty terrible.

I was under the impressions Bing searches were using Google searches anyway. (which would explain the similarity in the results). Google not only don't adjust results in their favour, they even docked Chrome in search results* after it turned out some advertising firm they hired was doing dodgy SEO stuff. Your'e working for a search engine, surely if they wanted their product higher up, they'de just move it higher up you fucking morons. *Currently for me it comes after Wiki, Opera, Safari, "TheBrowser.com", webopedia, mozilla, avant browser and then Chrome, followed by W3schools and lynx.)

edit: I'm not making a joke. *watches video* Oh hooray, storing important story information in paid for DLC....

I did initially have the bing results also written up but given that beyond a bit of rearranging the results were pretty much the exact same as google it seemed pointless to add them in. Either way, MS maybe want to work on their search rankings.

You miss the point in your first sentence. Yes, it's a stupid solution, and it's a stupid explanation because it conflicts with lore in a lot of ways, but that meme is misrepresenting it to make it appear stupider than it really is (or at least stupid in a different way). As you say, it's already stupid enough without misrepresenting it, which makes the fact that the meme misrepresents it even MORE irritating. * The rate which you are wiped out is based upon your galactic situation, the amount of organic life and may also depend on the repayment term. Eligibility criteria and conditions apply. You must be a Milky Way resident to apply. Total annihilation is subject to your circumstances at the time of applying. The rate offered may differ from the representative APR.

How is it missing the point?

hmmm. *googles "Office Software"* Top result: OpenOffice. Wikipedia MoneyExpert on free office software Then PC World, amazon, student software..and then MS Office. Maybe not what MS want. At least you can't accidentally buy OpenOffice. Shame the advert sucks and just makes it all look rather silly, corporate counterfeit is a bit of an issue.

One mans harvesting is another mans killing. And tbh if I'm the guy being harvested I'm not going to be calling it pretty words.

For 48 hours only: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout Fallout free on GOG (might only be open to current members, not new from this point onwards) Then on Steam we have Frozen Synapse: http://store.steampowered.com/app/98200 (Includes a spare copy for friend) http://pressxordie.com/2011/06/01/review-frozen-synapse/ - Review by yours truly.

Some of those on how dumb the representations are in their games? As Yante says, it's expected, albeit it a sad reality. Best to be done is to ignore the hate groups and move on. Politics are things they should be staying out of (especially as I'm still not keen on game developers representing LGBT groups) http://forum.pressxo...?showtopic=1535 - the old thread on this btw.

Lost odyssey is one of the few 360 games I own (I don't own a 360)

Yeah if your'e going to come up on stage and announce all these "core" games then be prepared to be pandering to the core crowd with the console itself too, and they like numbers and figures n all that lot.

Why did they put a "FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY" sticker over "FANTASY"?

http://www.eurogamer...-3-extended-cut "ME3 Extended Cut" coming, with "additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes" for the ending. It'll be out winter-ish. The ending will still remain. So obviously if you have a beef with all that stuff then you'll continue to have a beef with that stuff. This is adding some stuff on the end, so it'll be fun to see what they think needs adding on. Especially as they've discussed they didn't think the entire cycle n all that needed explaining, yet I don't think I've seen many complain about that stuff being missing, more the lack of "what happened to everyone?" stuff.

http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-pick/self-sustaining-solar-reactor-creates-clean-hydrogen-fuel-2012044/ So some guys have a reactor that uses solar power(not panels) and zinc to make hydrogen from water. It's going testing on a prototype before potential commercial full scale use. Main issue is getting zinc, but I know of one pretty sizeable source...

http://public.bracke...php?id=1204&r=1 Made a new one, this time for worst publisher. Since some of you mentioned that Acti would beat out EA I thought let's see it in action. Turns out you can make them kinda fancy (add links, descriptions, images n youtube vids and everything). What you can't do is preview it so all my nice lists are just blocks of text As with Yant's it ticks over every 48hrs(edit: except when I cock it up and have the first round end in 1 and a quarter days..actually I know why. It's cos I spaced it out every 2 days. Then set the actual hour timer on the first round, but not the others). edit: Fuck forgot: Relevations. (And probably tons of other stuff, but it'd make the lists too weighted, especially against poor Namco) Oh and it's Publishers. So I've skipped on mentioning console-related things some of the publishers have. RROD doesn't count in this.
