  1. Still gives interesting insight though.
  2. Apparently it doesn't apply to retail copies though, which is just weird.
  3. Sure glad they provide you with all those online benefits.
  4. I'm guessing a crazy person?
  5. I'd like to upgrade my PS3 HDD (those Plus games take up a lot of space) but it's such a PITA, considering atm I don't have a USB HDD to back up to, so I'd have to just back up save data to a USB stick and redownload everything else.
  6. Yeah, if the referendum succeeds I really doubt congress would deny their petition.
  7. Related to that, on November 6 (same day as the US presidential election) Puerto Rico is having a referendum on whether to petition to become the 51st state or not (other options include seeking independence). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_rico#Within_the_United_States Votes about whether to petition to become a state have been held a few times before, and while they've always failed the margin has been progressively lower each time. Maybe this time it will succeed.
  8. I know it sounds heartless, but what did he think was going to happen when he started a website dedicated to publishing classified documents?
  9. For me it's never been the length that's an issue, it's just that it's a stupid made up word.
  10. It's on Google Play (still think that's a stupid name) for $0.99.
  11. Honestly, Origin doesn't seem that bad either. I just wish that Amazon would be able to sell PSN download codes like it does with XBL codes. I think that would go a long way toward fixing the prices.
  12. Is Sweden any more likely to extradite him to the US than the UK is? Also, I agree, it seems strange that they would be able to extradite him when he hasn't even been officially charged with anything. Finally, I'm not sure what this has to do with not being able to trust the US government...
  13. Okay, well that's patently ridiculous, Walmart is not going to stop selling Call of Duty and Halo. The real issue with the California law (and other video game regulation laws) is that video games are entitled to the same protection as any other expressive medium.
  14. I don't understand your point. AFAIK no one's ever said Walmart is going to stop stocking M games.
  15. I didn't misread, I checked numerous times because I was confused. For example, at 6:00 PM on June 18 it said
  16. Yeah, console-specific online markets seem to be irredeemably retarded about pricing.
  17. I want P3P and AC: Bloodlines to go on sale.
  18. Civ V: Gods and Kings download is %10 off on Amazon. Might be US only. http://t.co/QbeNXPC0
  19. E, for "Everyone". They do have a decent argument though. Walmart won't carry AO (Adults Only) games, the highest they'll carry is M (Mature, 17+). And here is a list of all the AO games ever made: http://en.wikipedia....-rated_products Not many. *Edit* - AO is the only ESRB rating above M.
  20. That's kind of a hard question to answer, honestly. In theory it's just actual CP, but there have been instances of overzealous law enforcement agencies prosecuting people for drawings (like hentai stuff) on the theory that they could have used living child models to create the images. If the courts do their jobs right those should never get convictions unless they can actually prove that that is what really happened. As far as real people are concerned as long as the actor/actress is over 18 then you're golden, regardless of how young the character is. *Edit* - And as far as people getting crazy about "freedom" I'm inclined to agree, but with freedom of expression specifically it's protected in amendment number 1 of the constitution. There's no constitutional provision protecting your right to not wear a helmet. *Edit 2* - So it's not actually illegal to sell/possess it? In what sense is that kind of stuff banned then?
  21. You crazy foreigners with your government bans of media. It boggles my mind. The only kind of media I can think of that's banned here is CP, and that's just to protect the victims involved in making it.
