This really does turn on what the rules of the forum or blog space were.  If they were stated that you can post anonymously, it does not matter if they can get your identity, they should act like they don't have it.

Was the guy a dick?  sure.  But they left themselves open to this kind of behavior.  Who in their right mind puts up a blog question like that and doesn't expect some kind of crass answer.

Sounds like the new people are trying to make their own news.

I believe he/she is describing a file cabinet.

Just because he had the technology to do it, does not make it right.

The posts were to be anonymous, as advertised by the paper.  Which, unless otherwise stated in the forum rules, means that when you post, you post under the understanding that, that information will not be used against you.

There was no justification for this.  It was just as easy to send an email warning the person or banning the IP.

I kind of hope the paper sees the forums and blog responses dry up completely.  Hell I wouldn't post there anymore if I knew this was a possibility.  Who knows what offhand comment will get you fired.

You have alot more options.  The tier one weapons are the melee weapons and pistols.  We had to go out and find sub machine guns and rifles.  Then there are diferent types of auromatics, m16, ak's and a few others on the same level but with different feels.  I still prefer the hunting riffle for the scoped weapon over the newer scoped weapon.  Just seems more powerful.

Personally, I think war games in general are going backwards.

Microsoft really needs to rethink their PR philosophy.  There is nothing wrong with taking an idea and improving upon it.  Hell, it even shows a great amount of integrity by saying it.  Not to mentioin you can still throw it in Steve's face by saying you did okay but we did it better.

Its not like he said they copied OSx.  He said they copied the look and feel of it.

Hell if video game designers would take a look at what was successful about their own game designs and forward it to the next iteratioin I'd be happy.  Astonished but happy.

It just seems that we throw the baby out with the bathwater in the name of innovation.  Whatever happened to if it aint broke don't fix it.

That's actually pretty shortsighted.  There is no way in hell I'd buy a title twice for the same amount.  But I'd at least think about it for $20 and probably do it for $10.  Which is $1- -$20 more than they had before. Hell, I might even buy a console so I could.

Of course I do not know what percentage of the gaming population buys the same title for 2 platforms, but I'm guessing its pretty low.  Hell this is the 1st time I've ever heard of such a thing.

Yep, they were mentioned.  8 bit color slower response time.  Yep right there on the last page.

Really?  Thanks I didn't know I had a problem.

Oh, wait.  I don't.
