[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="117" id="3036143"]Can I bitch about Christians and their titanic tacky obnoxious Christmas displays, or would that be hate speech? I better not risk it, so I'm not going to do it.[/quote] Its okay as long as you take the time to complain about other religions as well. Its not hate speech as long as you hate them for what they do and not who they are. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote who="Alstein" reply="60" id="3024700"]Impulse and GG tell you if a game requires Steam (though GG calls it a 3rd party client, which can also mean Origin) [/quote] They all do.. but the difference is I actually have to pay attention now.. before i knew if it was available on impulse, steam wasn't required. Which made impulse the first place I shopped at(I moved to impulse when D2D started carrying steam games), now there is nothing to differe
[quote who="Savyg" reply="57" id="3024588"]While I agree with the sentiment for the most part, now it's just a fact of life...many games use a specific client. You can of course not sell those games, but then you're missing out on quite a few of the biggest hits out there. Skyrim? Nope. Battlefield 3? Nope. Deus Ex: Human Revolution? Nope. The list goes on. So if Impulse doesn't carry those, the customer is STILL driv

[quote who="boshimi336" reply="32" id="3022889"]The squad feature is an absolutely awesome thing that I love about the battlefield series. I haven't played the first battlefield but Battlefield 2 when in conjunction with the Project Reality Mod, is a beautiful thing. From STEAM EULA "Valve also stores information on a user's hard drive that is used in conjunction with online play of Valve products. This includes a unique authorization key or CD-
[quote who="boshimi336" reply="28" id="3022356"]Well that certainly is going a long way to being better. Is there new verbage in the agreement however to say that they will NOT collect it though (as opposed to not saying anything) similar to Steam's agreement? That is the next step that would be nice to see. [/quote] LOL please show us the passage in the steam Privacy policy or subscriber agreement where it says it won't collect information. Please note that the hardware surve

Meh i haven't touched EWOM in a few months. Guess i'll dust it off and give it a go with the newest beta.

The first one that comes to mind is Ultima Online. But thats probably due to the fact that it was my first MMORPG that wasn't a MUD.(not including neverwinter nights the AOL game which i didn't get into really after the initial neato factor wore off)

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="50" id="2946330"]I think that when/if the economy recovers significantly, the W7/XP balance will shift more quickly and radically.[/quote] My only disagreement here (and actually in your whole statement) is that by then the shift will be XP to win8 since 7 will be in "legacy" mode by that point.Which is the point i've been trying to put across but apparently unsuccessfully.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="47" id="2946316"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 46I specified RETAIL sales for a reason. I would say the majority of win 7 users are running win 7 OEM models preloaded with new PCS (or purched OEM copies either way its not retail versions). At retail windows is always a slow seller with their pricing. It doesn't matter how you wish to qualify the stats...the reality is XP use is a dwindling % and Win7 is in growth. Whether OEM or Retail the OS IS ACTUALL

[quote who="Stmorpheus" reply="3" id="2945181"]well its a pretty big change from what windows always has been. i don't see people giving up windows 7 for this anytime soon.[/quote] While people may not "Give up" windows 7 for it.. since the pricing is basically the same those of us who haven't upgraded to windows 7 will be more than willing to shell out the SAME PRICE for windows 8 instead of 7. With MS history of pricing I imagine it will be in the same price range as windows
Feel sorry for mac users who have bought into the whole macs are "more secure" than windows PCs. TBH anyone who knows anything about computers saw this coming years ago.. it was just a matter of when Mac usage was widespread enough to be worth targeting. IMHO you can thank the IPAD and Iphone for the tipping point. (although i dont think iOS is effected by this specific trojan the Ipad and Iphone have helped increase the number of mac users im sure.)
