A BIG CONGRATS on 1,200 consecutive days! Really awesome! Wow, another 100 days have passed again, already! : ) For some it seems pretty easy to come back each day! But for most GBs they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days for many reasons, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Rochester GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy!
Thanks. My first ship in 1970.

Ohio State is leading a fundamental change in health care by focusing research, treatment and medical education to predict, prevent, personalize and encourage individual participation to improve treatment outcomes and maintain health.
Demand for cancer care is growing, and expected to continue with a projected increase in new cancer cases nationally of 45 percent – from 1.6 million in 2010 to 2.3 million by 2030.
The new James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute will ease this rising burden of cancer through a larger, state-of-the-art hospital that fosters compassionate care and collaborative, transformational research.
Ohio State was awarded $100 million in federal funds in support of the Medical Center Expansion project. These funds will allow for the addition of a radiation oncology center to the new James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, which will further expand patient access to the highest quality and safest personalized cancer care. The grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) through a competitive grant program created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.
More than 900 records of patients receiving care at Ohio State were converted to IHIS (Integrated Healthcare Information System), a single, integrated health record that benefits patients and staff through improved safety, efficiency and convenience. To date, Ohio State is the largest institution to achieve a single-day implementation of the Epic information-technology system, which is the framework for IHIS. This new system helps care providers access and share information and coordinate care more easily. This initiative was a success in large part due to the Medical Center's dedicated staff.
A new curriculum for Ohio State's College of Medicine, when implemented in 2012, will require a new set of competencies for physicians and medical scientists, with greater emphasis on patient centeredness, coordination of care, participatory decision-making, continuous professional development, technology and advocacy. The new "Lead. Serve. Inspire." curriculum features clinical experiences that will help students apply foundational science concepts to patient care. The key aspects of the LSI framework include: a three-part curriculum that takes four years to complete; fully integrated basic science and clinical science; early longitudinal practice-based clinical service that allows students to apply classroom knowledge to real patients; self-directed learning, with multiple assessment methods to provide individualized learning by standardized outcomes; faculty coaching to support strong clinical skills; project work that requires critical thinking and synthesis; and clinical problem solving in a team-based environment.
Ohio State was awarded highly coveted funding from The National Institutes of Health (NIH) to propel education of medical students in both clinical medicine and basic science research. The new Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), a designation given only to combined MD-PhD programs receiving NIH support, offers an integrated curriculum and provides rigorous training in both biomedical research and clinical medicine necessary for achievement of both the MD and PhD degrees.
The College of Medicine is a member of an NIH consortium that expedites the translation of scientific discovery into higher quality patient care. In addition to intense training in both clinical and basic science research, the MSTP program offers a flexible and customized graduate curriculum, centered on the goals and interests of the individual student; independent study pathways for medical school curriculum; strong student community; generous stipends and tuition waivers; and research and mentoring opportunities with Ohio State physician scientists.
Riders in Pelotonia, a central Ohio grassroots cycling event launched in 2009, raised a record $13,108,639 in 2011 for cancer research at the OSUCCC – James, a 68-percent increase over the 2010 fundraising total of $7.8 million. From Aug. 19-21, 4,986 riders from 38 states and four countries rode up to 180 miles on one of Pelotonia's four routes. Pelotonia dollars support research projects addressing all aspects of cancer, from diagnosis and treatment, to psychosocial issues and prevention.

Chasing Dogs
- ‹ Previous program
- 342 of 2174
- Next program ›
A pair of "dog" stars chases each other across winter's night skies. But which star is chasing and which is being chased depends on your location.
The brighter star is Sirius, in the constellation Canis Major, the big dog. The other is Procyon, of Canis Minor, the little dog.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. It shines about 20 times brighter than the Sun. But the main reason it looks so bright is that it's one of the closest stars, at a distance of just eight and a half light-years.
Sirius is actually a double star. Its companion is a white dwarf -- the hot, dense core of a star that was once like Sirius itself. At the end of its life, the star cast its outer layers into space, leaving only the core. The same thing will happen to Sirius when it reaches the end of its life.
Procyon is a little farther than Sirius, and it doesn't produce quite as much light. Still, it's the eighth-brightest star system in the night sky. And like Sirius, it also has a white-dwarf companion.
The name Procyon means "before the dog." From about 30 degrees latitude and points northward, it rises before Sirius. From Kansas City, for example, it climbs into the sky about 20 minutes earlier. The viewing angle is different from more southerly latitudes, so Sirius actually rises first.
Watch for Sirius rising in the east-southeast in mid evening, with Procyon well to its left. Both stars sail across the south in the wee hours of the morning.

P1 - Climb the beautiful splitter .5/.75 camalot crack. There is not much size variation on this pitch. 140' 5.12+/13- or C1. Belay at two bolts on a small ledge. P2 - Climb the chimney to a great ledge with two bolts. A chockstone is slung at the start, and some gear can be placed in cracks within the chimney. 80' 5.9 P3 - Climb a 3 bolt ladder to some free climbing, and then another 10 bolt or so ladder to the summit. The bolt ladder has a lot of face features and should also go free, though some bolts may need to be repositioned(oops). 130' 5.9 C1. Descent - Rap to the top of P2 with a single 70m rope, and then rap to the ground with a 70m double rope rap. Without 70m ropes, make a double rope rap to the top of P2 and maybe even P1(don't know for sure), single rope rap to the top of P1, and then double rope rap to the ground.
Start up the obvious splitter .5 camalot crack.
Every .5 camalot you can get - at least 6. 4 .75 camalots, 2-3 sets of yellow and red aliens. 1-2 sets of everything else. Big cams optional but potentially useful to sew up the free climbing on P3. To free climb P1, the suggested rack is: 2 x .4 camalots 11x .5 camalots 10x .75 camalots 1x 1 camalot Some webbing would be good to extend the summit anchors. They are currently Metolius rap hangers, but it wasn't an easy pull. If you don't have a 70m line you will absolutely have to extend the anchor since a knot surely won't pull.
Congratulations on your climb. I've been to the base of this in the past and wondered how the top would go? Lots of hand drilling it looks like. Did you do the flake a couple meters to the right of the tower?
The bolt ladder wasn't as long as we feared - there were quite a few features so we were able to do a fair bit of free climbing mixed in with it. There are a lot of face features up there - it'll be a very cool free pitch eventually. You can see all the way through the tower in the chimney. It is a really cool feature.
Very cool find Andrew and company. A good candidate for a new free tower in the desert it would seem!
Holy smokes... nice job guys, it looks great. I need to get back out to The Swell and do this!
Freed the first pitch with Neils Tietze- high quality crack climbing. Probably 12+ ish if the last 20' of sugary green camalots get cleaned up (imagine placing cams in graham crackers) As it is, probably more like 13-. Gear... 2 x .4 camalots 11x .5 camalots 10x .75 camalots 1x 1 camalot We hiked down from the rim to get to the tower, instead of taking the trail up the river. Fun, but not reccomended. Cheers to the FA'ers for putting this gem on the map. m
Awesome! Congratulations - I am delighted to see that pitch get freed so quickly. Which rim did you hike in from? Cane Wash somewhere? The trail approach is really easy. Did you try the upper pitches?
Andrew, we hiked in from lower wedge road, north of the canyon. We didn't leave the car until after 2pm and had no idea where we were going, so we unfortunately only had time to climb the first pitch- really awesome pitch, and no gimme either.
I really enjoyed this tower. The hike in and setting of the tower are beautiful. Each pitch has its own character too. I feel like I used more .75's than .5's on the 1st pitch, either way, you need a lot of both! The last pitch you only really need a .3 and a number 4 camalot, along with some slings to extend those pieces and some of the bolts. I really enjoyed this pitch, there were a lot of spots where you have to get out of the aiders, or, like Andrew is saying, it'll probably make a pretty amazing free pitch. We extended the summit anchor, so the rope pulls fine now. Thanks for putting in the work to equip this route!

RPGWatch Feature - How To Kickstart Your Creative Project
RPGWatch Feature - How To Kickstart Your Creative Project
December 22nd, 2011, 15:27
Jacob Way, the Producer of the Zombie Survival RPG, I Shall Remain, talks about how to kickstart a creative project using crowdfunding based on their recent experiences:
More information.
Kickstarter had a relatively high sucess rate that was very attractive. We believed it could one, help fund our game's development, and two help spread the message. Our game, I Shall Remain- just had a rough time on Kickstarter. At first it did great. In the first ten days we raised almost $1300.00 dollars for it. Then the pledges ended and never came back. Our Kickstarter page ultimately did not bring in enough money to reach our $12,000.00 goal. It wasn't all for nothing though. We learned a lot about marketing and we hope by sharing this knowledge we can help others be sucessful.Read it here.
So, why did we end up with a flop?

Quite interesting - though I heard Kickstarter is only available to U.S. citizens? And, I might have missed it, but - what was the "Kiss of Death" you talked about?

If you wan't to help fund a project you don't have to be a US Resident.
Payments are done through Amazon, so I think that is a big reason why the recipient needs to be a US Resident. (they gladly process money from you, just don't like to process money to you if your outside of US).
I've helped fund one project. And as the article alludes to, the best thing is to already have a crowd (youtube channel, forum community, etc). I don't think most funding comes from people already on Kickstart looking to fund 'something' but instead people who already follow the fundee and already want to chip in. Kickstarter is simply an easy way to allow funders to help the fundee and in addition giving rewards for the help as well as keeping the fundee on his toes about how he spends it (one can let people donate to you by paypal directly but then it's not really geared to a particular project, also I don't think you can use paypal 'donate' to something you later can buy).
It also helps if the person who is asking for funding has already entertained many people with free content.
1. It gives the followers a feeling they can give something back (although not alway neccesary because the 'free' content can be provided with ads), or help them make something bigger than they usual could do.
2. That previous free-content gives the funders the feeling the fundee actually has the skills to bring the project to a succesfull close.
PS: I know fundee is probably not a real word, but I couldn't think of a quick way to say what I meant.

For the first time since 1947, the Northern State football team bagged its limit of Huskies.
With the St. Cloud Huskies leading 27-21 and 37 seconds left in the game, the Wolves went on a six-play, 64-yard drive capped by Mark Hanley's 34-yard touchdown from NSU quarterback Jared Jacobson as time expired. Felipe Alfaia calmly drilled the pressure-filled, game-winning point-after-touchdown kick Saturday in Aberdeen to give the Wolves a 28-27 win, their first over St. Cloud since a 14-6 win in 1947.
"I am just trying to process what just happened," Hanley said, after a short but wild on-field team celebration and handshakes with opponents. "Unbelievable. I am so proud of my teammates."
In 15 tries, this was Northern's second win over St. Cloud, one of the elite programs in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. St. Cloud State was ranked 24th in this week's d2football.com poll, and received one vote in this week's American Football Coaches Association poll.
"It was just our Hail Mary play," Hanley said. "Jared just made a nice read and a nice throw. It is about time we caught a break."
"I was just laying on the ground and I didn't know what happened," Jacobson said, "and then I heard the crowd and my teammates go wild. It was just a great catch by Mark and a great effort by the whole team."
Coach Tom Dosch gave an emotional speech to his team after the game, telling his players that he could not be any more proud of them. "You just kept believing and playing."
It looked like NSU (4-4) was going to catch all the breaks after St. Cloud (5-3) scored first in the first quarter.
After that, NSU took a 14-7 halftime lead and a 21-7 lead less than five minutes into the second half.
The Wolves' defense sniffed out St. Cloud quarterback Phillip Klaphake time and again, registering eight sacks and dominating for almost three quarters. Those sacks devastated the Huskies -- almost.
The standout Klaphake had a rally for the ages in the fourth quarter, having a hand in three St. Cloud touchdowns in the final 10 minutes. The last came on his two-yard run to give the Minnesotans a 27-21 lead with 42 seconds left.
The air of momentum that was leaking fast from NSU seemed to burst. Enter NSU senior Mason Thorstad -- Mr. Fix-It.
Thorstad blocked what seemed to be a meaningless PAT. On Sept. 22, Thorstad also blocked a PAT to give NSU a 24-23 win over Concordia-St. Paul.
But Thorstad's blocked PAT on Saturday was the start of a wild final few seconds for the Wolves. Key final plays included a 35-yard kickoff return by Paul Woodward and two completions from Jacobson to Jordan Piatz and one to Tanner White. A 17-yard catch by Piatz set up the game-tying NSU touchdown with seven seconds to play.
Ikee Sirleaf had a big game for the NSU defense with seven tackles, 4.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks. "We came out here believing that we could win this game and we came out attacking and never gave up," he said. "And that block by Mason was something else. That guy plays his heart out on every play, and when you do that, good things are going to happen."
Sirleaf said his team is all about unity. "We never give up on each other -- defense, offense or special teams. That is how you come out on top as a team, when everybody believes in everyone else."
Dosch was mobbed outside the locker room by fans, friends, alumni and Thunder with hugs all around. By that time, Dosch had to drink some juice to regain his voice.
"Amazing," he said, shaking his head.
"Jared found the matchup he wanted, and Mark went up and made the play. The effort we had by all our kids was so great. They just keep competing, no matter the circumstances. We struggled for a bit in the fourth quarter, but St. Cloud had something to do with that. That Klaphake is a special player. We knocked him around pretty good all day, but he just kept on playing. We always talk about making plays, because you never know which play might make the difference. And we made a lot of plays that made a big difference today."
NSU got all of its 14 first-half points in the last six minutes of the second quarter. It started with a five-play, 39-yard drive that was capped off by a snaking back-and-forth 25-yard touchdown run by Jacobson.

Lead Safe Training
Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair, and Painting
To access the Online Training Program, go to
For previous Renovation and Remodeling course attendees, click here to order a duplicate certificate of completion
The Training Network, Inc., an
EPA-Accredited Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) Training Provider,
is a nationally recognized organization that provides Lead-Safe Work Practices training throughout the USA. Since 2003, our team has trained over 19,000 individuals in the 2003 Joint EPA/HUD Lead-Based Paint Training Program for Renovators and Remodelers.
After April 2010, a new federal law will require Contractors who perform renovation, repairs, and painting jobs in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities to become
EPA Lead Certified Renovators
The Training Network, Inc. is pleased to announce that we are launching two new training courses that will enable Contractors and Renovators to satisfy the new Federal requirement:
An Initial course for those who have not completed previous Lead-Safe training
A Refresher course for those who were previously certified
The Initial course is a one-day course that will provide the training necessary to satisfy the Federal requirement.
The Initial course will last approximately nine hours,
The Refresher course is targeted to those individuals who previously completed the
2003 Joint EPA/HUD Lead-Based Paint Training Program for Renovators and Remodelers.
It will include the latest updates to material covered in the previous course, and will satisfy the new Federal requirement. The Refresher course will last approximately four and one-half hours.
These courses are primarily directed towards
renovation, repair, and painting contractors to teach them how to work safely in facilities with lead-based paint, and to comply with both EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, and HUD's Lead Safe Housing Rule.
The courses are also valuable to
people who work in state and municipal agencies, community and social service organizations, and home (or code) inspection companies. The information presented in the training will be beneficial to others in the housing industry, including sales, marketing and administrative personnel as well as workers and supervisory staff.
The Training Network, Inc. will provide all classroom and hands-on materials. We will also provide the EPA with official notification that individuals have completed the training courses.
Anyone requiring this training is invited to attend. If you have an interested group at your location, or would like to sponsor a training event, but do not see a conveniently scheduled class date, please contact us to arrange a special presentation. We will be happy to accommodate your request.

Oh and i forgot to mention one key aspect, at least for me it is, i can keep the game(DISC) and/or book(following the previous mentioned example) for generations trough generations, if the console is playable i can spin it the times i want, or my relatives for that matter, because the DISC=ACCESS, but with digital that is not the case at all, i dont have the ACCESS, the provider does, as long as they run the servers/key, NO DISC= NO ACCESS, PROVIDER=ACCESS, which is my main qualm about it,we not having the control over the access.
Are publisher just taking too much advantage of gamers?

I just don't think we actually own the data. We buy the access, be it a physical disc or a download link.
I may not like it, but there's a lot I don't like about the industry these days.
And with reference to the OP, I care not what 'extras' may or may not be on the disc, and may or may not be unlocked based on which 'version' I buy. So long as I'm still getting access to the full game that I paid for, I don't care if I'm denied a few costumes or one extra MP map or some bullshit like that. It's just the way it is and it looks set to remain that way because people are still buying these games!

The law isn't going to give you rights to something that was never sold to you in the first place.
What you bought: access
What you didn't buy: dataYour ownership claim on the data is non-existent. "The law" won't magically give it to you simply because you refuse to acknowledge what it is your money is actually buying. So, sure, you can go about quoting 'the law' but the application of it here is misplaced.
Again: "the law" won't make you the owner of the car for the taxi ride you just paid for. Why? Because you didn't pay for that when you handed over your money - you paid for something else. Ownership of the vehicle wasn't what the transaction was about. Quoting law, accurate or otherwise, is going to serve no benefit to you here.
Until you learn what you are actually buying (access, not ownership) then all your assumed arguments based on ownership are going to fall over. Every time.
To go back to the victim-fuelled plea of the OP - you pay for access to data under specific terms when you pay money for a game.
Therefore, if there is data that you have not bought access to then you are not entitled to it. Even if it's stored on the same media (the media is a red-herring in all of this talk, by the way, it's irrelevant). You are not being taken advantage of so long as you appreciate WHAT YOU ARE BUYING when you hand over your money. The belief that you pay money and ownership of all data is transferred to you is utterly wrong.
This goes for digital too. Download a trial of a game on XBL/PSN and you're typically downloading the entire game's data. But your trial is free, right? So for the price of 0.00 you get LIMITED ACCESS to that data - even though you downloaded ALL of the game's data. When you pay more you are granted GREATER ACCESS to the DATA - this is provided to you by means of an unlock key. The terminology is a pretty big clue here. It couldn't be plainer: it's a KEY. It UNLOCKS ACCESS to DATA so that you can have ACCESS to it. Even though you have already acquired those zeroes and ones already. You haven't gone off and grabbed loads more data - you paid for greater access to data you have already acquired.
This principle is exactly the same in the context of 'on the disc DLC'.
This is how it works, people. I know it's quite radical for some of you to accept and it's a bitter pill for many of you to swallow. But this is how it works.
Stop arguing about how 'the law' and 'rights' serve you based on the presumption of ownership. It's a waste of time. Because YOU DON'T OWN the data. That's not what you paid for. That's not what the transaction was about.
You don't own the DATA. (You don't own the data)
And stop arguing about how you must be the owner because you've been selling discs second hand for years. That's completely backwards logic. Just because nobody has forcibly stopped you from doing something does not mean you automatically have the right to do it. You're just ASSUMING those rights. Be wary of assuming too much.
If you want to take ownership of the data then it's simple: Just buy the PUBLISHER and all their assets. That's going to set you back more than 60 bucks though :).

I have the right to sell my games and the publisher can't stop me even if they wanted to :)
Posted 1 year ago # -
I agree with everything you said here JM, and you're absolutely correct of course, but there's a non-legal issue as well...
If we feel like a vendor is turning a reasonable profit, then as customers we don't mind, and we pay happily. Customer, vendor, publisher, developer... Everybody wins!
If we feel like we are being nickel and dimed, or that we are being asked to pay over the odds, then we should vote with our wallets and refuse to pay, in which case that little bit of greed fucks everybody, customer, vendor, publisher and devs alike.
So where is the line? I say if the game you have access to is enough to justify the purchase, then it's okay. The problem is that the publishers are trying to get too close to that cut off line where we get pissed off.
I want them to focus only on pleasing me the customer, and selling me a game that will make me jizz my shorts. But in reality, they have to make money, and it's probably never been tougher for pubs and devs, so I can't really begrudge them tryiung to maximise their profit.
It still leaves me with an ugly feeling. They're no longer trying to make the best possible game, in order to sell the most copies and make the most money. That model is dead. - They're now trying to solve an optimisation problem: Make the game that makes the most money with the least effort, and sell as much DLC as possible, even if you lift it straight out of the game.

"I have the right to sell my games..."
No you don't. Typically that 'right' is expressly forbidden. You are so used to selling a game on you have ASSUMED this right. You are, in fact, wrong.
Additionally those games are not 'yours' as you do not own the game itself, it is still owned by the publisher. You merely have access to their product - under their terms.
"..and the publisher can't stop me even if they wanted to :)"
For the most part this has been true. But don't assume someone's inability to stop you doing something equates to them giving permission for you to do it.
Digital delivery is a means by which publishers are asserting their GENUINE right over your ASSUMED right. This IS NOT a change in rights, it's an enforcement of the ones that exist already.

So where is the line? I say if the game you have access to is enough to justify the purchase, then it's okay. The problem is that the publishers are trying to get too close to that cut off line where we get pissed off.
That line differs for everyone. The thing is we have a glass-half-empty and glass-half-full approach to things.
Let's say a game has extra content - like a bonus mission - on 360 and lacks it on PS3. Glass-half-full says "this is extra". Glass-half-empty says "You're deliberately withholding something from me". The reality is consistent, but the perception can be polar opposites. The difference is perception.
So, on-disc DLC. Are you getting extra when you pay more? Or is the publisher deliberately withholding content from you? Depending on whether your glass is half-full or half-empty both views are true.
Thing is, most of this stuff is optional. But business is business. Are you gonna wait until that map pack goes free in 6 months time? Unlikely - a lot of gamers want stuff Day-1. Of course publishers know this. And of course they're going to exploit that to make money. Money talks. And gamers show that they complain a lot but still throw their money at publishers anyway. Remember the Modern Warfare 2 Dedicated Servers boycott? Gamers sent Activision a very powerful message when they failed to carry out their boycott. Because, y'know, OMG!! MW2!! DAY1!!!!
I want them to focus only on pleasing me the customer, and selling me a game that will make me jizz my shorts. But in reality, they have to make money, and it's probably never been tougher for pubs and devs, so I can't really begrudge them tryiung to maximise their profit.
Bingo. And if you recall early developer conferences from this generation there was considerable talk about the generation of new revenue streams. Stuff like Horse Armour and DLC for Guitar Hero has generated huge amounts of revenue. People buy it. They complain, sure, but they buy it.
It still leaves me with an ugly feeling. They're no longer trying to make the best possible game, in order to sell the most copies and make the most money. That model is dead.
That's a romantic ideal. And any dev or publisher that makes quotes to that effect is schmoozing you. Telling you what you want to hear. So you buy their game.
They're now trying to solve an optimisation problem: Make the game that makes the most money with the least effort, and sell as much DLC as possible, even if you lift it straight out of the game.
Pretty much. That's their right. And ours is to vote with our wallets.

I really want to see which law, any law for that matter, stating that it prohibits the user to sell something that was sold to him in the first place, because in my knowladge there is not any law that states this, an original SALE means a change of property, in this case being for the ACCESS of an specific contain, being this contain data (game), music (CD), information (book), creation of the imagination (paiting, book), movies (DVD / Blue ray),etc, all of this contains, are intelectual property, i mean the things that are contain on those physical objects, we own the access to that contain , and for that we do own the physical object, we dont own the contains, which is the intelectual property, of course this until we make an infrignment of the copyright law, i really want to see which law indicates that is not legal to sell, gift, keep it, broke it,ect, something that was acquired through a SALE, and neither of them are established on the copyright law, if there isnt any law that especifically forbidden this, then is only a mere opinion and nothing more.

"I really want to see which law, any law for that matter, stating that it prohibits the user to sell something that was sold to him in the first place"
You're assuming ownership. You're not the owner.
Yes, the law protects legitimate owners. But as you're not the owner then quoting law isn't going to be relevant to you.
And really, stating "in my knowledge" doesn't add much substance. Many people claim to 'know' that they "bought the game so it's mine and I can do as I please".
People also 'knew' the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth.
What people 'know' ain't necessarily so.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Again you put words a have never , ever said, i said we own the ACCESS= DISC, iam the legitimate owner of the DISC and the ACCESS but not the data or intellectual property, i do not pretend to own the data or contain and neither i want it to, is the creation of the creator not mine, but i do want to control the ACCESS, and the only way to do it, is owning a physical device, the ACCESS is owned by me, because the book, the physical disc, or any physical object tha contain the intellectual property, is my property, by legitimacy through the sale act, hence the SALE passed that property to me, not the property of the data or contain, which is protected by the copyright law, of course until there is from the end user part any infrigment of this copyright law, in digital this is not the case hence the discussion, and hence my problems with it, but dont put words i didnt said, i legitimate bought through a SALE the DISC, which passed the PROPERTY of the ACCESS to the end user, not the data, which is copyright protected.
therefore again i want to see any law that indicates i cannot sale, keep, gift, donate, broke, etc that physical object i did obtain through a SALE.
"And really, stating "in my knowledge" doesn't add much substance. Many people claim to 'know' that they "bought the game so it's mine and I can do as I please"Iam being humble,because i dont know everything and neither i pretend to, you should try it more often instead of putting words i didnt said.

ACCESS is ACCESS
DISC is DISC
ACCESS is not DISCThe media is completely irrelevant.
You do not get to govern access. The owner governs the access. You are not the owner.
Your choices regarding access are as follows:
- Take it
- Leave itIt ain't yours. So laws regarding ownership are not going to serve you, they're going to serve the people that own it: the publishers.
You do not own the data. That isn't what was sold to you. You're still showing that you do not understand what your money is buying.

I see we're now on the topic of whether or not you have the right to sell used games. You do, at least in europe. Even digital ones.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Isn't the Access and whether you can sell it on up for debate? Recent European court win by a German company who are buying and reselling licences for big commercial software. Obviously this has a long way to go with appeals etc. So nothing is set in stone by a long way.Edit: Actual details posted above by Talkar :)

ACCESS is not DISC
Ok try to play the game without the disc then, of course all the non digital games, you cant because DISC= ACCESS , the user controls the ACCESS , because this was passed onto him/her through the sale act, by legitimacy, therefore the end user decide, when and where he/she plays the game, not the provider, hence the problems with digital, becuase they decide and/or controls the ACCESS, not the end user.
"You do not own the data. That isn't what was sold to you. You're still showing that you do not understand what your money is buying"
Are you sure you read and digest what i did said, i did said i dont own the data or pretend to own it, thats the Authors/developers creation, protected by copyright law, what the SALE passed to me, by legitimacy, is the physical object, i do own the physical objetc and the access to the DATA, throughout the SALE act, , DISC=ACCESS to the data,PHYSICAL OBJECT= ACCESS TO DATA, examples book: information, thoughts, imagination , cd: music, dvd: movies, paitings: imagination work of the creator, art, etc.
Therefore show me a law, any law at that, that states i cannot sell, or do for that matter anything that is not prohibit on the copyright law, to a physical object, being a book, a game in a disc, a painting, etc.
Posted 1 year ago # -
You pay for access to the data.
The data is provided to you on either:
a: on disc
b: digitallya and b HAVE NO IMPACT on access. It is the same regardless.
However, you and many others are very used to taking your disc and selling it. You have awarded yourselves a right you were never given.
When something is delivered digitally the means of selling it on in such a convenient fashion.
And we get disillusioned people saying "WAAAH! Digital is taking away my rights". No they're not. Your rights have not changed at all. You have the same rights as you had before. You have the same access as before.
The media and method of delivery ARE NOT A FACTOR HERE.
You just believe they are because digital stops you from selling something you didn't own. Whereas physical delivery still allows you to ignore that detail and sell something you don't own anyway.
As I mentioned before, this plea of rights is equivalent to a robber complaining about the introduction of padlocks.
Talkar & DrDamn: Enterprise software licencing such as Oracle software is a world apart from end user software licencing. The overlap in relevance is minute and the date of that document is amusing :) . The document still doesn't explicitly give rights to the non-owner of the software to resell their software licence (not the software, the software licence) it say it can't be opposed in that context. That's not the same thing. But people like to interpret "you can't stop me" as "you've given me permission" when it suits them to.

Yes they do have and impact IMHO, the physical object is the key to the access, the end user can keep it and play it whenever and wherever he/she wants, the key is at their hands, or control if you will.
With digital everything is under and account, an account that is controlled by the provider, they can block your account, they can ban you, then can do anything they want, we only asset is to believe in their good willing in doing business, but thats different to having the key or control in your hands, iam not saying is not they right to do it, yes they can, but changing from physical to digital has an impact, a negative one in that, why they cannot implement something like PSN/XBLA were you have your games saved on the console?, so it doesnt matter if you are connected or not to an account, you can still play the games, why is it have to be something like Steam for example or always connected?, that is where my worries lies, that way they own the access to the games, i know is in their right to do it, but that doesnt make it more moral or more reassurance to the end user.
Like i said i wish for the user to keep the control in the access of the game, nothing more nothing less, the game is the authors/developers creating and rightly so, i dont have any rights over it, is just that i want to access the games i did purchase at my leaxure(dont know if i wrote it right change it to willing), like in physical times.

The link i provided is a media press document, here is the full legal document:
http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=124564&pageIndex=0&doclang=EN&mode=lst&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=177748As you can see, it doesn't matter if it is a game or WoW. As long as it is a computer program:
Article 4(2) of Directive 2009/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the legal protection of computer programs must be interpreted as meaning that the right of distribution of a copy of a computer program is exhausted if the copyright holder who has authorised, even free of charge, the downloading of that copy from the internet onto a data carrier has also conferred, in return for payment of a fee intended to enable him to obtain a remuneration corresponding to the economic value of the copy of the work of which he is the proprietor, a right to use that copy for an unlimited period.
Articles 4(2) and 5(1) of Directive 2009/24 must be interpreted as meaning that, in the event of the resale of a user licence entailing the resale of a copy of a computer program downloaded from the copyright holder's website, that licence having originally been granted by that rightholder to the first acquirer for an unlimited period in return for payment of a fee intended to enable the rightholder to obtain a remuneration corresponding to the economic value of that copy of his work, the second acquirer of the licence, as well as any subsequent acquirer of it, will be able to rely on the exhaustion of the distribution right under Article 4(2) of that directive, and hence be regarded as lawful acquirers of a copy of a computer program within the meaning of Article 5(1) of that directive and benefit from the right of reproduction provided for in that provision.

"Yes they do have and impact IMHO"
You HO is wrong. The media is a form of delivery. Your access is not governed by the method of delivery. Your access is governed by the owner.
The method of delivery, whether digital, physical or carrier pigeon MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. It is irrelevent.
You are still attached the to notion that you ARE ABLE to (but not permitted to) sell something nice and easily when it's in your hands on a disc. But this isn't as easy when it's digital. Because of this difference you are still thinking that your access is different. But in doing so you are still demonstrating you don't understand what your access is in the first place. You're are still coming at this from your own personal prefernce of "I want to resell this" - that's not what your access is about. You're mixing and matching points and making connections that don't exist. The key components have been explained very clearly in very simple terms. At this point it is apparent you don't care for the reality of how things work, you only care about how you can get your own way and see things only the way you prefer to see them - regardless of reality.
Your perception is at fault here. Stop attaching ACCESS to MEDIA. They have no bearing on one another.
You are STILL not grasping the core concept that governs how this works. You might as well be telling me how dolphins govern the workings of an internal combustion engine. The two are not relevant to one another. Your HO is letting you down. It's also not that H either, regardless of your tone.
Talkar: I reiterate: 'not opposing' is a very long way from 'permission granted'. People tend to interpret things like that in a way that suits their personal preferences.

"You are STILL not grasping the core concept that governs how this works"
And you still aren't grasping basic laws that prove your non-existent argument. You keep keep repeating the same inane viewpoint with nothing to back it it. You haven't provided a single law stating that what you claim has any actual basis in the law itself, and unless it's stated by law, it isn't law.
"You also still haven't answered my previous question.
"You are still attached the to notion that you ARE ABLE to (but not permitted to) sell something nice and easily when it's in your hands on a disc. But this isn't as easy when it's digital."
Yep, you are. Entirely at your own whim and discretion.
And the law backs it up. Please show us a law that proves otherwise.

I'm not actually answerable to you. If you hadn't noticed. Maybe you've ASSUMED that I am. False assumption on your part. It's ok - that seems to be happening a lot around here. It's a shame that so many lose sight of their assumptions and feel like they have a right to something when they don't.
Sadly, my viewpoint isn't inane. There's decades of REAL WORLD evidence (including plenty probably within arms reach of you) that demonstrate how this has, does and will work. If you're interested in checking them you'll check them. If you want to be contrarian you won't. If you want to be selective you'll ignore the decades of evidence and pick out a semi-relevant exception here or there and try to argue that the exception is the norm. Twisting and turning it so you can hammer your belief in myth at the expense of reality.
None of that changes how this works in the real world. But keep slamming your fists as much as you like. It won't actually change anything. Then you can slam your fists some more about how things don't change.
There could be a lesson to be learned from that, but something tells me that won't happen. :)
Posted 1 year ago # -
You're answerable to your assumptions of the truth, which have been proven by QUOTABLE law.
And yet you continue to waffle off your claims with absolutely nothing to back them up.
We're still waiting for you to provide this "evidence".
"None of that changes how this works in the real world."
The way the laws have been applied in the real world prove you to be wrong. The EU courts will trample on any company that abuses rights relating to the ownership of goods. You can practically walk into the small claims court and the companies will be grovelling at their feet and doing everything they ask. They won't be allowed trade here otherwise.

"You HO is wrong. The media is a form of delivery. Your access is not governed by the method of delivery. Your access is governed by the owner"
Sony, microsoft, and/ or nintendo, cannot block or control the user its ACCESS to a physical game that is not connected digitally, and is not becuase they dont want or the dont feel obligated, is because legally and technically they cannot do it, because with legitimacy the end user bought it through the act of SALE , which transfered the user the ACCESS= DISC to the game or data, so yes the ACCESS in the end is governed by the METHOD OF DELIVERY= DISC=DIGITAL= ACCESS,neither sony, microsoft or nintendo owns the game neither, of course the ones developed by them yes, but the third party games they do own only a license, if they can do it, i mean control the user with their physical game his/ her ACCESS to the physical game, show me a law, or any law that has rules over this, please, i mean they can block it whenever, wherever they want, as they can do it digitally, in digital form they can, and is in their rights becuase they are the owners of the servers/account or in this case the METHOD OF DELIVERY, but in physical they can´t, because they dont own the physical object, the end user does.
Therefore In reality the access is governed by THE METHOD OF DELIVERY, and for that the owner, which in physical (DISC, BOOK whatever) is the end user or the people that bought it through the act of SALE, but in digital the provider owns the account and the servers, they are the owners of the ACCESS indeed, hence the problem in this, and in neither of this cases, i mean physically, digitally, the provider owns the game, unless is their IP or they are the real authors of course, they have only a license, but they do own the account or server, hence in reality the METHOD OF DELIVERY= ACCESS.

"hence in reality the METHOD OF DELIVERY= ACCESS."
Nope. You've just twisted reality because you refuse to detatch yourself from your need to insist that there's a difference between digital and physical as far as your rights are concerned. There isn't any difference. But if you acknowledge that there is, the rest of your self-centered argument implodes.
"The way the laws have been applied in the real world prove you to be wrong."
And the millions (possibly billions) of instances that have been applied in the real world prove that selected exceptions are not the norm.
And the next time you hear about something like on-disc DLC and digital delivery, for example, you see just how much reality cares about your selective exceptions.

Too bad we don't all live in places where consumer laws protect people and their right. I live in a place where laws are made/bought for big companies to protect their intrests. Yeah for Capitalism :(
As for the subject of ownership, by law(again depends on where you live), users have little to no rights. We don't own anything. But I would like to see Sony come into my home and tell me that I can't use my PSx or PS2. Or Sega tell me that I broke the law by having my NA Saturn moded to play JPN Saturn games.
PS JM stop being a tool. While there may not be a difference between rights, there is a huge difference between useage. And that is what they mean by acsess. Like the Saturn thing. Do I have the right to do it? Am I going to keep on playing those games?

No man iam not twisting anything in reality, if you want to prove your point, then show me how i can access in digital form the games that are on the providers servers, as i do with physical games?, i mean as the legally owner of the ACCESS, which is pretty much whenever and wherever i want , and for the time i want ( i mean in 80 years in the future), as i do right now as an owner of the physical object, which granted me the control of the ACCESS like i mentioned, if you can show me that or any Law that says in digital form iam the owner of the access or controller if you will, like the SALE principle and the FIRST SALE RULE back the owner the ACCESS of the data in the physical media of delivery, then i will say physical = digital, and that you are right and iam wrong all along, until then PHYSICAL is not DIGITAL, because in reality the METHODS OF DELIVERY govern the ACCESS.

At some point tho, and it has already started happening, media companies will shift their focus away from selling ownership to selling limited time usage liscening. That templet will be the backbone for digital sales. It will/is all rolled up neatly into a EULA that most of us click without reading. We bascily give up any rights, and enable the companies to make and or change the rules as they see fit. These EULA are written to fully protect the companies interest.
Our only choice is to show the resolve it take to not purchase these products. Just don't buy 'em. That is the only power we have and is the only message the companies will understand or listen to.
But I doubt many of us will stop buying media at any point.

Hard to believe it is now 2013. Let us hope that 2013 is a better year with fewer deaths, less fighting and progress toward peace on earth. Hopefully by then we will have overcome the so-called fiscal cliff.
Actually went back to work Saturday; it felt good but I got plenty tired and was ready to go before it was time. We were very busy with folks trying to avoid the snow. Of course, it started snowing long before we left and then Sunday there was no snow falling just blowing like a bandit. I stayed home and kept the stove going, did laundry, and cooked supper.
Does it seem to all of you that New Year's Eve isn't celebrated as it used to be. We used to get together and eat supper and maybe even go out for the evening. Just a few years ago there were big celebrations in many towns, including Portland and Bethel. Now just some drinking parties at various bars and elsewhere. Guess we need to organize some new alternative evenings.
A Happy Birthday goes out to Robin Hart and my sister Cindy. Have a great day ladies.
Jan. 3, Thursday, ACOA will meet at Waterford Library (as long as it doesn't snow again) and we are doing step work. New members are welcome. FMI please call 739-9115.
Jan. 7, Socrates Café will meet from 6:30 to 8:30 at Waterford Library. Topic: "Does the Earth Have Rights?" Jim Kearney will be the moderator. Coffee and light refreshments will be served. FMI call 583-6957.
Jan. 10 (one week from today), Arla Patch will speak about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
That is all for this week. Hope all had happy holidays and the best for the New Year.

Officer reports
Vice President
Arduino the Cat is doing well at his new home.
Pay your dues. We had enough to cover rent for this month. Insurance is paid too. Bills are paid. Yay. No margin.
Sergeant at Arms
Have got keys tonight for those that need them. Shelves are built with space to spare. Raw materials are stored along the bottom and dated. If they are not used within 6 months they will be thrown out. Open to suggestions for a better way to organize raw materials.
Director Reports
Getting about 20 page views a day. On average people spend about 1 or 2 minutes on the site. Search terms people are using to get to us: arch reactor, Arch Reactor St Louis, etc. Plan for some Google optimization because arch reactor gives "do you mean arc reactor?" Discussed the ability for user accounts on the website
PR and Fundraising
Social Affairs
Party scheduled next month. October 26th. Pot luck in the space on a Tuesday.
Other Buisness
2600 Meeting
Arduino Class
Programming Class
Art Reactor
Taylor will be going over piniata constructions
Other Discussions
Mitch Altman - was awesome. He's putting together an article about the hackerspaces he visited. He's going to pass us his notes on other spaces of what he thought was good or bad about how we run the space. Made friends with Jimmy Rodgers and Matt Metts of Make Magezine. Made us an offer if we need something to be posted on Make, he will put it up there. Quote of the night: "It was like time travelling with speed racer but the mach 5 is a lollipop." – A 10 year-olds description of the brain machine.
Scheduling a class on conduit bending (while running our electrical)
Fridge Contents is extremely light. Don't know if there is nothing in the donation box or it just hasn't been emptied. Everyone go pick up a case of something.
Plastic – Ryan is placing an order for plastic used in MakerBot printing. 1Lb of plastic is $20. A spool is between 45 and 60.
Every Sunday evening is scheduled for hardware hacking.
Daniel will be holding an HTML/CSS class on the 15th of this month.
Deech will plan a Costuming night.
Membership - Not enough is being done to increase membership. Partly a PR problem, partly an advertising problem. All our events are open to the public. Make sure it's more widely known the events are open to the public. Widely. John will make and post a flyer to give out to public that doesn't visit the website. Ideas for increasing membership:
- Stephen suggests that we put a page on our website listing the benefits of being a member.
- Photonight to show off the space.
- Bring friends
Electrical. Darrell has been trying to run the conduit and electrical boxes. Almost to the point of running wire and installing outlets. We'll then have to make a decision on the lights regarding where to be mounted and where to put switches.
Need ideas for replacing the miner lights.
Starting this first October Monday (11th), Art Reactor will resume work on the Evil Doctor Coats. The second Tuesday (12th) is our Show and Tell night. Bring your projects, completed or WIP (or planning, even). On Wednesdays the 13th and 20th, there will be a workshop on costume accessories, especially wigs. The third Tuesday (19th) is a combination of our LAN Party and Board Game nights. It's sure to be massive, so be sure to show up! There's also a potluck party in the space on the fourth Tuesday (26th). Bring your own dish and drinks to be mingled with those of your peers! This party, being a Tuesday event, is open to the public. Our November events are great fun as well: The second Tuesday of November (9th) is Harry Potter night, in celebration of the first movie of the seventh HP book. The next day (Wed the 10th) and the following Wednesday (17th), are workshops on combat and utility corsets for your costume (or everyday use). The 4th of November brings a class on SQL, the popular database programming language. The next Sunday (7th) is a Python programming class focusing on game development. The last Tuesday of November (30th) is our LEGO competition. Use your own LEGOs in your own construction and bring it in for judging by popular opinion. You may not use predefined kit plans, although you may use kit sets in your own original construction.
Meeting adjourned at 9:18pm

Mike Posner - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart | Song reviews
Duke crooner Mike Posner woos the girls into his dorm with some Spongebob noises; The Pains of Being Pure at Heart purchase the Pumpkins' old sound.
Published: February 16, 2011
"Bow Chicka Wow Wow"
Mike Posner feat. Lil Wayne
When Mike Posner brings a girl to orgasm, she sounds like the solo from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge." Or so I gather from the frat-boy's latest ballad. The dorm-room crooner leads into a schlocky guitar bit with, "I'ma make you sound like…" Not only is the subsequent, Slowhandish finger-noodling a real mood killer, it sounds nothing like "Bow Chicka Wow Wow." In fact, the wah-wah porn-soundtrack sounds that give the slow-jam its onomatopoeic title are nowhere to be found. That's false advertising—not to mention half as erotic as the bucka-bucka-neer-neer of Erykah Badu's "Bag Lady." And that tune compared a woman to the homeless. As a sex anthem, this is comically amateurish. Perhaps it's because a persistent bubbling noise brings to mind Spongebob. Perhaps it's due to Posner plugging Red Bull in his nasal falsetto. Maybe it's Lil Wayne, offering the 54 laziest words to ever drool out of his mouth. The Duke alum wants to make March Madness in your pants, but is as romantic as filling out brackets.

Love the name and love the effect. Imagine, you're on holiday, all day outside on the beach, you get back to the room, shower and then put on Mister Radiant before you go out. It's like permanently splashing yourself with perfumed water. It smells delicious and goes on really nicely. Non-sticky. it leaves you glistening. This is a fun product to use, massaging the beads into the skin. This is a holiday treat product, definitely pick this up at the airport.

Soon, you will be able to slash load-times of Xbox 360 games by a nifty feature update that allows the console to cache the game on to the hard drive. You will need the game disc in the drive to be able to play the game as a counter-piracy measure, just that the console won't read resources from the disc, but instead from the cached data on the hard drive. In a way this also means improved sales for the new 60GB variant, since hard-drive space is 'more-the-merrier' now on, you can cache as many games as your hard drive can take. This was announced by Microsoft during a press-conference at E3. Source: Engadget
Even with the 120GB 360, space is going to run out fast. Hell, my 60GB PS3 is already out of space with just game demos on it. I don't keep any media on my hard drive. Yes, but the PS3 doesn't store the whole game on the drive, just the most used parts and most games don't even use this feature.
Did the first xbox do this, or was that just saved games? Cause I never came close to filling that up, but I don't put any media on there.
This is like the 360 being more like a PC now then. basically installing the game onto your HDD like PC games do. This will greatly reduce the noise form the 360 espeically for launch consoles like mine as the drive is noisier than the fans! Maybe it will reduce some heat too! wonder how long it takes to copy it across? you also know what this means You could have double disc games to get round the DVD limitation. Two resource discs, but only one in to satisfy the anti-pircacy. but 20gb of data is sitting on th HDD.
thats not entirely correct! it installs the disk onto the hard drive so that it plays off the hard drive instead of disk. you need the disk for piracy issues but it dosnt spin. Faster load times and less noise due to no disk usage. Basically its choice not mandatory. Some games require the hard drive like football manager series and oblivion. There are other features being added like A WHOLE NEW DASHBOARD no more blades a whole new layout and style, also you get a 3D avatar character for your gamertag, streaming movies from some website, also as far as i know you can do a live party and all play the same games ect, there is a source on the engadget page if you go into that it tells you all. I didnt know that using engadget as a source was allowed? isnt it a rival tech website? I sent in my own news using the xbox press release site as a source but i guess they already got onto it.
The original Xbox allowed games to store things on the "cache" drives (x, y, z). Halo/2 and Doom 3 are some of the biggest examples, but most games did it in some form or another. I actually really liked this feature and I was sad to see its disappearance as it obviously couldn't happen if some people had hard drives while others didn't (on Xbox 360). ...glad to see I didn't make a mistake buying the 120GB HDD.
Uh, a lot of folks already do this ( I do ) M$ is just catching on to it now :shadedshu Lets just say the games run !@#$% times faster
So basically the executable/game loader is still on the dvd, but the data such as graphics (textures/models) are gonna be on the hard drive. I wonder what the set limit per game. I doubt MS will allow a full disk backup on the hard drive...for the sake of drive space.
It's really good when competition helps bring out idea, and to be honest it's a damn good feature on the Ps3...! Glad that it's finally jumped ship to Microsoft's tech .
+1. If and when my 360 (launch version) dies, if its out of the warranty (this december ). I'll be getting an Elite. mmm, black 360....
yeah its amazing and i like the new dashboard look!!! no need to get a crummy ps3 anymore for anyone just keep your pc and use your xbox for console gaming and the like i stream all my video to my xbox 360 as it accepts divx and xvid via the last update
Yeah, the new dashboard I can live with, now everything has to look like that damn Vista... But the avatars are just so childish! "Now the serious gamer can express himself" - haven't heard something so stupid recently. The serious gamers must be little girls then - who would like something so... gay: Btw, that's the new dashboard, pic from the projection screen at the E3 M$ keynote:
WTF! I didnt buy a nitendo wii, I bought a 360! Are these optional. Can you still use the 2d avatars? I like the new dashboard, but the stupid rollercoaster tycoon people! wtf!
Exactly! Wii SUCKS, capital letters intended. And that's why there's a saying: "It's never too late for anything". Well,as it seems, it's never too late to turn one of the greatest gaming/entertainment product into a gay joke. I'm lazy and I'll just copy what I wrote in the X360 clubhouse: Quote: "Well, I know what the avatars are for, and I know that they're use for the 1vs.100 game, which isn't bad, but it's like M$ is saying to me "I just don't take you seriously and go f*** yourself". Well, I may be 14, you can say that my opinion is not worth much, but how do you see a grown 30-40 year man being represented by a childish/gay-looking toy-like thing... It's just that X360 is meant for gaming, not dressing up dolls. They are turning a great console into a mediocre toy that way. And I watched the full presentation on a video. Here's what I noticed - they spent 30 minutes for GoW2, Fallout 3, and RE5. And just for their retarded bullsh** they spent almost 45 minutes saying the same thing over and over again, trying to convince us how great, almighty, cool, incredible, etc. is the new look of the X360 is... So, my point is that those retarded avatars got more attention (or at least they hoped so) than 3 GREAT upcoming games! And the moment they showed the new look instead of instant clapping there was just silence for about 2-3 second, 'cuz people were like "WTF is this, is this Vista???" Vista is spreading it's influence like a plague, I can take that, but all that bullsh** gay look is just too much! We are not kids, damn it! The kids who like this stuff can't even afford to buy an Xbox on their own, and if their parents buy them the Xbox it's likely they'll play childish, retarded games! Those users are by no means serious gamers. So, this shows that M$ is trying to make happy people who think like this: "Ooo shiny! Me like! Me buy!" That is why I'm so pissed off, and that is why I feel like M$ said to us "F*** you! We just want to take people's money and we don't give a s**t about our customers as long as they are keeping our pockets full of money"! End of quote. (I'm quoting myself ...) Long story made short - what I'm trying to say on this unusually long post for me is that M$ is trying to treat us like RETARDS! And quite honestly, the fact is that, after all I'M PAYING THEM MONEY! And now I feel f**ked and betrayed by M$, this just offends me and is making me very angry. EDIT: Forgot to answer your question: as much as I understand this bullsh** idea that M$ came up with is: to play LIVE you have to have the latest updates... So, it's not optional, now your X360 HAS to look gay to use it's full potential. And I really doubt that there will be an option to use the old "blade" system. Now, because of this X360 pretty much is = Good games/GAY LOOKS. I just had a feeling that something isn't right here, a great console from M$. Well, they did as expected, they f**ked up, big time!
I like the new dashboard, was getting board of the old blade system, it looked dated. I wonder what happens to the themes that I have purchased, or whether they only work on the guides blades. Do you reckon that this main dashboard will be customizable? But still gay people defo. I hope MS reads stuff like this and decides to make the 3d avatars optional. When I first read it and thought of 3D avatars, I was thinking literally that, not stupid cartoon people! Now maybe if they sweetened the deal by adding game characters for avatars. Then it would be cool. Master Chief for one!
Well, if you use the old dashboard that means no LIVE - you must have the latest updates, or it says you can't use it. So,everything that you have purchased before - themes, gamerpcis, and stuff related to the looks and the customization goes straight to hell - deleted. You just loose it. Another reason to feel that M$ f**ked us. And they did.
Wait, so the Xbox360 finally got the features that the PS3 has, so now there is no reason to buy a PS3? What reason is there to buy an Xbox360 then if the PS3 has the same features? By your logic, there is no reason to buy an Xbox360 either. Oh, and where is the Xbox360's Blu-Ray support? User replaceable hard drive? Non-Crap controllers? The ability to use any Bluetooth heatset I want, and not be forced to use Microsofts?
yep, 3D Master Chief avatar FTW!!! Also, maybe the smiley grenade from BF: Bad Company. Blowing up stuff with style. I would really like something like this - in normal games normal/3d avatar of a character or just a classic gamer pic. When you go to Live PARTY or 1vs.100 etc., media that requires the cartoony gay avatar, ONLY then shiow it, don't force it on us! M$, some of your customers are not retards like you think!
Exactly, the way I see it, the only MS would make me look forward to the upgrade is if you can have 3d avatars of in game characters, and like you said only use cartoony ones on certain games (have two avatars like you have now, one personal [gay one] and one gamertag one [3d char]. In terms of the content, MS either need to give us a refund on our points, or give us free upgrades to new themes and 3d character avatars, if they listen and do that. If you are listening MS, please do 3d game characters for avatars!!!! (maybe I'll go post this in the xbox forums too!)
i dont get it how would 3d game character avatars work with different game engines and the like? blu ray it is useless, i dont want to upgrade my extensive collection of dvds to blu ray HELL I DONT EVEN OWN A HD TV!@?* sure ive explained this a zillion times to other people im not going to explain why xbox hard drives are not user replaceable and why they dont allow blue tooth headsets INFACT see the xbox 1 you could replace the drive on it as well but that meant you could put boot loaders and linux on it and play pirate xbox 1 games and do all sorts of illegal stuff Microsoft didnt want you to do you know what im fed up! keep your crappy ports that run at horrible frame rates and keep your metal gear solid 4 because if a console (it is designed as a console first and foremost) has only i exclusive and one decent game OUT NOW then its a waste of money it basically tries to be a pc BUT FAILS, it has mouse and keyboard support, allows to change the hardware to a certain extent, you can run linux on it, it has media functions like a pc, it has a zillion other things a pc can do better i want a console for console games not to surf the internet on my crappy tv i actually prefer the xbox 360 pads very comfortable and has grip and HAS PROPER TRIGGERS unlike the ps3 pads r2 and l2 ps2 pads i had just broke after a year actually started to come apart and the analoughe nad R1 and L1 buttons becaame wobbly so i take it since the ps3 pads the same its like that TOO also the ps3 pad has no weight HOW THE HELL CAN RUMBLE WORK IF ITS GOT MOTION OR TILT OR WHATEVER CONTROLS i mean wouldn't the rumble make you car or whatever move about and simple turning it off just for it to rumble dosnt work either because if your titling the pad it suddenly turns off for a second to rumble you might loose control having to quickly move to using the analogues
