Faiblesse you guys are making the same points. This started with Thursday taking issue at Excaliburps for implying the PS3 version was some off cast step child and horribly buggy version, when anyone who has played all three ( I didn't bother with the PS3 version but I have given a fair bit of chit chat on the other two versions in this thread, of which a fair bit is from prompting from yours truly,), would know that they're all as bad as each other. Hot Heart was just taking a devils advocate stance. A retarded one none the less since PS3 being awkward to code for shouldn't come into it since Crytek UK are/were a PS3 developer. (and the ones doing the multi-player). The reason why the 360 demo came first should surely be pretty obvious 5 years into this generations and 30-something years into Microsoft's history: tl;dr: All versions of the Crysis 2 demo were pretty fucked. Excaliburps piece could of been written a fair bit better. edit: and there's a page 2. :/ And seems FDS clicked at some point.

If they're playing a cracked version of game then EA wouldn't of been able to deprive them access to it. I guess being able to have your gaming access revoked at will is one of the bonuses of being a legally paying customer And it's a single player game, hacking shouldn't be an issue. Blizzard came across the same issue when they banned people from battle.net for cheating in the single player games. And it's Dragon Age, I've not heard anything but I assume it supports mods. I can't really think of any justification for revoking someones access to a game they paid for. Revoke access to the bioware store to get DLC in future, disable MP access, forum access, no support etc. But don't take away their legally paid for games. It's these kind of dickhead moves by publishers that make people unwary of if they actually own their games and they begin to doubt whether it's worth buying/renting access to EA games in future. Anyway if it was something really serious then EA wouldn't be scrambling around contradicting themselves and trying to handle the PR fallout. They'd of stood by their initial decision, stated explicitly what it was that got the guy banned and continued on their merry way. Which back to the autistic kid getting branded a cheater, that was Microsofts reaction. tl;dr - I'd imagine most gamers are gonna have a hard time siding with the corporation that will turn their games on and off at will. It's part of the transition into digital purchases, gamers are still uncertain, and when companies like EA pull dick moves like this it doesn't help with the uncertainty. Gamers want to be making digital purchases with the confidence they'll still be able to play many moons down the line, just like the disc based games, and that it's not just a very expensive rental that lasts as long as the publishers dictates.

Yeah someone on twitter mentioned Big Lebowski and I've never seen it before, so I'm in the mood. Think I'll watch it some point this week.

Ah the Netflix thing does explain why it's US/canada only (got the email this morning, kind of miffed. Why do they even send a US/Canada only deal to a .co.uk address anyway?)

Well I have read the article (hence linking) and R____ is right, the encryption chews through CPU, and HTTPS can't cache, meaning it needs to be generated n resent every time. It's why on the sites that are enabling it, it's optional not forced, and smaller sites can't use it or generally have little use for it.

From Play for £10. I made sure my housemates weren't interested first.

Personally my fave of the bunch is: But I don't know who the other guy is. Also I quite like tales of Roosevelt. Quite the bad-ass I hear. They say that Genghis Khan, after the guy who invented this handy chemical for fridges and a great idea about petrol and lead, had the most environmental impact of any one man. His campaign wiped out whole villages and swaths of farmland that regrew back into forests. Reversing tons of environmental damage. Also my brains wonky at the moment or I'd remember why it is Europe didn't fall to him. edit: Ah I remember, he died and his son didn't exactly carry on the family line of being a bad-ass and so they all went home and the mongolian empire collapsed as soon as it had been built.

I'm with Kenshi, this stuff is great Tumblr material.

Hey it's Chloe's mum! Also what's with the spin and poof she has a helmet. "No superman, you should put on a helmet when riding that bike!". They're effing superheroes, if they need to wear helmets like the rest of us I'd have to ask what they're good for.

Yeah apart from various appearances in JLA cartoon I've never been much interested.

No one linked this in yet?

I put it in "s cos I know I was spelling it wrong. The point being up until CSI miners were men working under ground, not minors as under-18

What's archaic for US is more often than not based on something English . I only started hearing about "miners" when I started watching CSI. Here we go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_school The 4-7 thing is probably why I made a pause every time I went to type 10.

I've yet to watch it all as I find it kinda creepy. Thought I'd share anyway. Okay now I've watched it. .....hmmm

Regarding DNF I'm in same boat as Cyber. I'd have to same it'd probably be some AI co-op or escort quest character, but I can't think off the top of my head. Most characters are only mildly annoying, there's plenty more annoying people IRL. So it'd be some game breaking NPC that'd tick me off. For now I'm gonna go with John Marston. He's just super uber boring. It's certainly not his life story that's compelling me to complete the game.

But wait, there's more http://imgur.com/a/MXRlL

HTTPS is more secure, so why isn't the Web using it?

It's not that it was uncommon: Which I assume is implying in the states infant = baby (or at least pre-toddler stages) only, whereas here as hotheart pointed out, we even have infant school. Infant is kinda cross compatible with child/minor/1-10ish. http://board.pressxordie.com/topic/143-homefront/page__pid__43388__st__80#entry43388
