Wandering if not having the final conclusion at the end of the episode was actually the point of it. This may be the only episode where you say Idk at the end... The result is that you made this episode on time which, in turn, rewards you with money, views and recognition. However, this kept you from satisfying your curiosity towards the subject and probably not getting a final answer. Interesting stuff... with more time, subjectivity seems to be more powerful, while having a deadline, forces you into seeking objectified answers, beeing more about facts than substance.
@tightwad34 @bmart970 The old Gamespot was indeed great, better in most aspects than the actual version, I too liked it more, yet, I think they were kind of forced to make the change to html5 to suit better the new ipad, tablet, mobile layouts. The old site took ages to load under a mobile version.
@DarthLod @visanbogdan Innovation in terms of mentality, I guess that MS is pushing the boundaries too far, but so did Apple with all their limitations over their products. I am actually implying that Sony chickened out on competition with MS for sheer lack of ideas. MS tried to put new things on their consoles, other than games, which for the purists is something bad. I realy believe that MS will pull this system of theirs in a positive way, with W8, phones, glass, voice control, spying from the government, conspiracies, mind control, "zombies" etc.
Am I the only one here who thinks that PS4 is just an upgraded PS3? I mean, they did not innovate enough, not even with the new controller... I'll give the console a 3 years advantage in sales, after this period they will drop like flies because people will get easily bored with the console. Who knows, maybe nintendo will make it right with the next console.
@Lil_Burrit0 @visanbogdan Well, even in cars we have the same technology profile, today's cars also implement an online environment where the gps is updated constantly or the position of the car is traced, but it is more costly. Having this consoles in your home does not cost as much and it is way easier to control things from a server. Unfortunately, as I said we are not prepared, I guess for one, that there are not many laws that can guarantee your privacy in the online and of course that we are made to believe that our home is sacred, well it is... but only outside the web. I am relaxed about this because I believe that other entities, bigger, with lot power over us are controlling traffic on the internet but I just ignore signs because online is not the whole of my life, I can always find ways to live outside this environment, as do you, I guess.
I am sure that 20-30 years from now, when people will be fully engaged into the online world and living within a smart environment inside a house (robots, voice control, sensors etc.) people will say that the X1 was ahead of its time. I believe that we are not yet prepared for this kind of life where the house is our playground.
P.S.: I speak as a 100% PC gamer, I did not own a single console and could not care less if X1 or PS4 would win the war on the market.
@dlCHIEF58 @visanbogdan @expeditopaz2008 I stand corrected and as you say, Rockstar is owned by Take Two, not 2K Games. However, the franchises are sold separately by each subsidiary. For example, Rockstar does not hold rights over Borderlands or Bioshock as well as 2K who does not hold rights over GTA or Midnight club. It's a logical hierarchical system.
I believe this to be a matter of minimizing the chances of people being killed by any kind of weapon. From what I've seen, for I am from Romania, citizens of USA made the owning of a gun some sort of tradition. BUT people will commit commit murders if that is the case no matter what, even if it is with a knife or a pistol or with just hands; Frustration, hate or anger cannot stop a man from doing stupid things it is simply not rational. So, the only thing left to do is to ban by law the use of fire arms because the only thing you can do is minimize casualties.
P.S.: The lame explanation of that guy from NRA is just to hide the fact that society ignores the needs of people, thus creating killers or simply individuals who cannot adapt to the ideal of living in that particular zone. Fore them, it is just collateral damage.
