A good deal for those who enjoy the 'casual' style of games that BFGs sells, but one that's probably going to get a lot of hate from people who think that they don't qualify as 'real' games. Regardless, this is an excellent deal, IMO, since my mom loves hidden item games and I'm kind of in...

Thanks!

Yeah, the topic has come up a number of times on the GameTap forums ("You said Game X would be available until next month, but it disappeared today!") Gametap's official response is that there's an issue with the way the computer calculates the dates, so they just put a random date from the...

Actually, the free list expiration date is essentially broken. They pretty much just stick a random date in the future on them - it doesn't have anything to do with when they're removed.

It depends on exactly how the question is asked, and how people interpret the question. Did Bush know the specifics of the 9/11 attacks in advance and chose to let them happen? Virtually everyone, I'm sure, would say no. Did Bush know about Bin Laden's plan to attack on America (involving...

Actually, every single one of the fired attorneys was a Bush appointment. They also share another common trait: they were all investigating Republican corruption cases. Can anyone say, "obstruction of justice"?

Yeah, occasionally they screw up and let honest reporting slip through.

It was closer to 3 years, actually, and the situation was a bit more complex than that: Asheron's Call 1 and 2 were actually owned by Microsoft, who hired Turbine to develop them. Shortly after AC2 launched, though Microsoft decided it wanted out of the MMORPG market and was about ready to...

Exactly. I probably paid about $200 in monthly fees for WoW during the year or so that I played it, but if I hadn't been playing WoW, I almost certainly would have spent several times that buying other games during that time. MMOs seem expensive, but when you factor in how much time they tend...

This sounds way too much to me like they know they have a turkey on their hands, and have decided to try to get as much cash as possible for it now before people KNOW its a turkey. They figure they can at least sucker a few thousand LOTR fanboys into paying $200 now, then dump some...

Yep. The only thing you forgot was research into more realistic fake boobies. The majority of corporate medical research money is spent on 'luxury' drugs. Not that those things are unimportant, mind you - the fake boobies especially. But if you're depending on private research to invest in...

That's pretty much what I said: researching new lines of stem cells isn't illegal general, just if the facility used to do it in in any way, shape or form receives federal funds. Again, though, the problem is that essentially ALL research facilities that exist in the US have used federal...

Doesn't matter: the laws prevent work on cell lines derived from stem cells. Research already doesn't work directly will stem cells - there's just not enough of them, making the process far too inefficient. This is just a new, more efficient way to create new cell lines. Actually doing...

I keep hearing on the news story after story about how the Democrats are going back on their promise to act in a bipartisan manner, and I have to ask: when precisely DID the Democrats promise to be bipartisan? The main promise I remember was oversight over the executive branch.

No, Jonah was sent with a message: repent or be destroyed. The people repented, so the destruction was averted. The whole bit about Jonah and the whale was that Jonah didn't want to give them this warning, because he WANTED them to be destroyed. God kind of insisted that he pass along the...

Not at all: prophesy is perfectly permissible according to the Bible. The Bible does contain one small catch, though: if you give a prophesy in God's name and it turns out to be inaccurate, the prophet is NOT truly of God and is to be immediately stoned to death for blasphemy.

"Is oral sex adultery? Yes! There is no discussion! If curling is an olympic sport, then oral sex is adultry. And oral sex should be an olympic sport because it's more difficult than curling and if you're any good at it, you deserve a medal!" - Lewis Black Not directly related, but funny enough...

Production of the Famicom and Super Famicom were ended in 2003: Link

I'm reminded here of a Simpson's episode: Says Homer: "This year I invested in pumpkins. They've been going up the whole month of October and I got a feeling they're going to peak right around January. Then bang! That's when I'll cash in." Cut to November, when Homer is mourning the fact that...

Considering that they claim to know the sales numbers down to the individual systems, instead of making a rough guess of how many thousands, I'd definitely have to call bullshit on these numbers. When you make an educated guess, you don't guess down to the ones place, unless you're deliberately...
