  • What have you purchased recently?

    Quote from Minotauro

    Why did you buy that piece of crap? I have the E66 myself and its laggy and shitty as fuck. Only thing great about nokia is their norwegian autocompletion when writing, and you're not norwegian. I cant understand why someone would buy a nokia now with HTC spamming out android phones in every price range...

    It's the cheapest decent 3G phone I could get. As with everything else this shit is expensive as fuck here. It's a bit laggy indeed but I can browse my email, facebook etc... I never expected the phone to do more than that.

    I'm not a celphone person too, in fact this is the first celphone I ever bought in my life. I have been using left overs from my family as far as I can remember .

    I'd rather spend my money on games or booze I guess

    Hehe sorry to piss on your parade there, I was just a little dumbfounded/surprised You do have you priorities right tho

    PogoP: wait, is that rock in the front -- a smoking meteor? Because, um, when a meteor impacts Earth's surface, even if it's a small one, it doesn't land neatly in a grassy field. It does this:[Blocked Image: http://forces.si.edu/atmosphere/images/media/library_017_lg.jpg]

    Obviously some campers are sitting behind that rock smoking weed and thinking that the flaming rocks in the sky is god coming to purge the world of all evil.

    Thats where all the smoke comes from...

  • Retail threatens Steam ban

    lol its not like they even have monopoly. Theirs is just the best.

    But that doesnt mean that things can get a hell of a lot better. Steam is still a laggy piece of software that can be improved, and since its beeing maintained by a games developer there are conflicts of interest here. Theres a number of other faults with Steam that can be better as well. All we need is someone with the brains and money to go there

    This goes for most zombiefilms, but I think its weird how, when the zombies finally get their prey they eat it down to the bones.

    Quote

    As with the horse.

    3D Breakdown of the trolls (link taken from 3dhue.com)

    The movie company is currently discussing the possibility of making a "international version", which probably means some retarded popstar-gone-director is gonna make a version for hollywood that is gonna suck. So if I were you guys I'd try to find the original and go see it with subtitles

  • Layoffs at IO?

    Sorry to derail this thread.. but since you already drew the paralell between the games industry with the music industry;

    I think the games industry is going through the same thing as the music industry is. The middleman has always sucked the entertainment businesses dry, but with the rise of the internet things are changing. I read that the music industry as a whole is seeing less and less money, but the artists themselves are seeing more income now than ever before. Because with just 3 clicks of a button you can sell your music online and you dont need a middleman to arrange everything for you anymore.

    I think the same thing is happening with games and movies. You see indie game developers striking gold almost every week nowadays. Some, if not most, of them are old industry vets that are tired of the middlemen stealing a piece of the pie that they toil so hard to make.

    Imagine what would happen if Blizzard only sold StarCraft 2 through their b.net service online. Yes they might sell 10% less copies, but I think they'd make up for all that because it wouldn't cost them much more than the bandwidth and server capacity compared to making the dvd's and boxes and shipping them everywhere. All digital merchandise should be sold digitally.
