[quote who="SwerydAss" reply="78" id="2630597"]Actually it says 120,000, but also the 2 weeks before that Sins was the top seller with no anti piracy on it as well. Makes me think the makers of DRM put up some bots to continuously download and try to connect to sell their software after Sins dominated sales without it. It makes me very suspicious especially since Demigod was an online game where pirates would know beforehand that they wouldn't be able to connect so wou

Are you honestly serious with that first reply? A monitor is specific to a pc, so then how do you watch a console game? Who gives a crap if pcs come with monitors? You are once again making ASSumptions, going as far as COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT THAT HARDWARE DOES NOT COUNT AS A DISPLAY! Either way, you have to have a display to view a pc or a console, so you can't count a monitor with a pc unless you also count a display with a 360. You are just full of it

Since you want to act like you have logic Zehdon, let me ask you a logical question: How is it that some internet kid in a forum, like yourself, knows more then developers and executives who look at their bottom line, know who is online, and if they are pirating, and then has to adjust thing accordingly? So all of these developers and executives who see all of this are just full of crap, and some kid is right because 'the devs make mad money'? I for one can easil

First of all, you mention the monitor and use it in an argument about the xbox 360. That's hardware, so where is the mentioning of a tv? I could easily link you with a pc that would be more powerful then a 360 at newegg, and that is alos with the xbox with a 120 gig hdd being at $300! Secondly, YOU have no evidence. The guy above has evidence, it's called the DEVLOPER WHO MADE THE GAME. You routenly ignore what the developers say and pull crap out of your ass

What a sad bunch of excuses. You have some of the best names in pc gaming leaving for consoles because people steal and you sad bunch of fools bash them relentlessly. I'm not surprised they are leaving. Unreal Tournament was THE online game in the early millenium, well it and Quake 3. Speaking of Quake 3, John Carmack is moving towards consoles and I remember pc fanboys bashing him for that too...

I mentioned that, but the nuke doesn't stop there as of importance. The nuclear bomb was then used to send rockets into space. We owe MANY things to the nuke.

Hell, Hot water isn't even an invention in my book since it occurs naturally easy enough. More like a discovery. The rest looks more like a list of "What inventions can your limited long term memory produce?" or "What items did you use today?".

Can I ask any of the 'instant on will take over' people something: Why didn't: PDAs Cell phones etc take off and kill the desktop/laptop market? Is it due to them being smaller and the ipad being a large version of them? or is it due to the fact that in order for devices to not have things like a bios, they must be propiertary, which beefs up the price and makes it hard to do anything if you have issues?

Btw guys, the tv is angled in such a way that it can be turned and watched while doing laundry. I also have it angled in such a way that I can brush teeth or cut my hair and watch tv. I'm screwing with you on this topic (Not to mention I found this idea of a toilet tv hilarious). Yes, I could've easily mentioned that I have a half bathroom half laundry room, and it's for alot more stuff, but why do that when I could make you guys think I'm some kind of RAVING LUNATIC

So I renovated my bathroom. I could've called it 'bathroom renovation topic', but why ignore something as awesome as a 15" hdtv facing the toilet? All of this was done by me btw, in case you wonder.

You guys are strange. Onlive a threat? People buying Ps3 at $700 (It was originally $599 FYI, and it was the cheapest bluray player at launch)? Hilarious.

Actually Directx 8 and 9 did the killing blows. Opengl has been slower since around 2002. If anything, Directx 10 went backwards. It had a better api, but required you to actually program. Programmers don't program today, unless your studio is run by gamers. if your on the leash of a ubisoft/bobby kotick ring, you aren't programming. Not to mention that the gaming industry is one of increasing budgets and losing revenue. Even if a gamer type CEO a
