  1. ^ thank you, its not a computer issue, its an EA being a POS issue.
  2. I feel for ya man, I would go for a run, its what I do when I am pissed.
  3. no, my understanding is that it is a redone version of red alert with some new crap thrown in. I wonder what they are going to do to make it interesting.
  4. Tv links

    I am glad that we have OV guide, etc. It provides some semblance of watchable media for people who are not fans of the mind numbing shit on network. I really think that such sites should not be construed by these companies as an affront to their rights, but rather, a wake up notice... because what they are currently doing is just not working. The nature of the display on TV links was a streaming, which I can't really differentiate from a display on a network station, sans commercials, which they do, on certain occasions. That being said, I dont think that anyone benefits from these sites where streaming is linked, being shut down. I really dont have time to watch televisions, and tvlinks allowed me to watch shows that I actually want to watch when I am ABLE to watch them. I am not a Tivo person, nor do I see the benefit in having cable, because most of television is crap. This activity is nothing more than time shifting, which in both English and US courts has been considered to be a permissible activity. If you really consider the facts, that is essentially what TVlinks did, substantially. There were mostly Television shows that are network or cable anyhow, which, if you have the internet, you likely have access too already, aside from the movies sometimes available in horrid quality pre-release, which can be CONSTRUED as non-compliant with the current law, the most tvlinks did was ust that, link, making the argument on their part moot. Thats my three cents .
  5. Tv links

    Yep, he was linking.
  6. Tv links

    I wouldnt characterize the situation as him being owned by the MPAA, RIAA, etc. They arrested him on the idea that he facilitated infringement under English law, but Linking has never been illegal, and still isn't according to current legal precedent, in UK or US. The charges wont stick without a change of law. They did it for publicity sake, because the industry is seeking to make an example out of things. This poor bastard was in England, which is more mindful of digital rights than Asia, where much of the stage 6 stuff linked to Tv links was emanating from. Consider this, if the UK mediawatch, RIAA, MPAA were to seek to track down every appearance of their intellectual property/expressive work that appears online and seek prosecution, they would go bankrupt. Instead, they go after random, hapless people in countries where their arguments would carry weight, and the legal system would allow them to seek remedy against the infringer. They know they cant go after the REAL issue: a bootleg copy emanating from some dude's computer in Korea, china, france, russia, which gets linked, spread, and torrented throughout the US, UK, and the rest of the World. They CANT do anything there, because they would get a big FU from China, France, etc. So, they go after the guy which really didnt do anything more than link, which is standard practice. Their act was a paper tiger.

  9. I really hope that the game's multiplayer fixed, for one. I'd also like them to make some new units. I realize that the soviets are going to have the nuke, heavier tanks, etc, but for the love of christ, give the Allies something more than "sneakiness...", maybe some highly powerful but fragile technology. I will say that I never have a problem with the CC plotlines, they are enjoyable, and if the remains of the westwood studios ever did anything well it was the casting, acting, and scripting of the game's plot. I love to watch the cut scenes. I just hope that they dont consider that to be the only thing they have to worry about is that, and lack on gameplay.
  10. I'd like to say that its going to be good. Here are my beefs however: time after time after time, EA has chopped, shopped, and tossed a broken product out, especially RTS wise. Play Generals at a 4v4 match, even running it on a Quad 2.4, 3 G Ram, 8 series card, the goddamn thing slows, stutters, and lags. Then it says fatal error. CC3 is a nice game, but plays slow, reacts slow. I dont really get it, but I've somewhat lost faith in EA Games ability to do a decent game, especially anything they acquired (cough cough pilfered) from Westwood. Red alert 2 was bad ass, I still have it, play it, etc, but if this is going to be another laggy, buggy, slow working RTS with limited maps, Im going to pass.
  11. that is the hottest political ad ive seen since "where is the beef"

  13. PS3 thread

    I got PC and PS3, PS2 by default. I've played the 360, I thought it was okay, but really wanted the blue ray compatibility, and well, honestly, I dont really like the Xbox controllers, or the need of the HD DVD, etc.
  14. Lol. Right then, thats better.
  15. Wait, how is that Emo? Im confused.
  16. PS3 thread

    Hello Does anyone out there have a PS3, play resistance or motorstorm? If so, drop your PSname, maybe we can do a multiplayer game. Also, anyone played any good games for this black and silver monstrosity yet? I am waiting for metal gear 4, the AARP strikes.

  21. Well, I mean, the joke still made a good laugh, and it was still useful, so lets just leave it as a joke... Really? Well, its a corned beef sandwich on rye, with swiss cheese, saurkraut, and russian dressing, pangrilled.
  22. I made like 3 of them last night, to make them. then i put them in the ice box for lunch the next three days. Got the apartment overlords to pony up for a new kitchen.... Its a funny situation too, because they tried to tell me that it was out of warrantee (this is a rental mind you, its their responsibility...) So I brought my lease downstairs, pointed out some provisions THEY agreed to (keeping things in modern, working order, promptly responding to service (24 hour per problem, 3 days re replacements). Needless to say, i got a new one, and its awesome. Go stove Go Ruebens.
