I have seen bits of this, but it always ends up with the idiots being picked on.
When you see woman players always with the same groups, they will shut them up with lots of kills, basically the idiots are targeted.
Even funnier when the woman is the wife of one of the other players. This makes the idiots panic quit.
This is a hardcore FPS.
Yet on a more casual TPS you do get more idiots including some players blocking in female characters (not players) and trying to hump them using the taunt system. Dropping a grenade gets the message through, then they got booted. I occasionally played female characters as they were nicer to watch
Are they reputable?
The Sun lies, Mirror is crap, Mail is fascist.
Leaves the TV sites, lots of international sites, a few half decent newspapers, local papers, the news agencies, news blogs.
Nothing wrong with some prefiltering.
As to bias somewhere between them all you can find the truth.
OK I would be too embarrased about being on the Sun site, more embarrassing than porn.
Mirror - all celeb stories no news
Mail - just a bunch of fascists, see their recent campaign to restrict our internet.
1) There were no backroom deals. But Various Hollywood studios are owned by various hardware companies.
2) BluRay was a collaberation between a lot of companies including Phillips, Panasonic and Sony.
3) Only Toshiba of the big Japanese manufacturers made HD-DVD.
4) Sony guaranteed Blu Rays success by including a drive in the PS3.
5) PS3 drove the success of BD and the hard disk and media capabilites killed off HD-DVD
There are always people who want the latest format, film fans will be quite likely to want to go 4K.
Everyone assumes that what they want everyone wants, someone who pays a few thousand for a prohector will no baulk at buying a 4K optical disc player.
Some people like expensive cars, some like expensive furniture, some like top end AV kit.
Yes my TV is worth more than my car!
There are a lot of really good games and space used doesn't really come into it.
Short but very good, Journey
Long, hard and very well executed, The Last of Us
Lots of shorter games are more about the multiplayer than the single player
This generation we have been careful to buy decent games rather than cheap games.
We look after our discs.
But you have admitted the big failing of Toshibas format, lack of capacity.
As to loading, never seen one take more than a few seconds.
Best thing about HD-DVD is that they were easier to rip so they could be torrented and then watched on the most popular Blu Ray player.
That is how we got around lack of Blu Ray releases from certain studios.
Sony formats
At least have always aimed to be better than the opposition.
But think CD was a huge success.
Beta was better.
Never heard Elcassete or whatever it is called but supposed to be good.
ATRAC was a good audio compression algorithm
BluRay is more future proof than HD-DVD
Sony have developed a lot of good formats.
A game I play, on the forums, a new person posted that they wanted to play the game but there was too much swearing. He asked for the next game to have all swearing removed.
He hated curse words, but did not mind the shooting, the gouging of eyes, the bloodshed ect.
Lets just say he had the piss ripped out of him. Especaily when when he said that he routed his interent via a clean feed system. He was also anti porn and nudity.
Why did he want to play a shooting game?
Also important for developers, cannot code when overheating.
Just that I have 3 PCs under my desk (2 working, XP and 7, 98 just sits there), and despite the XP being a celeryon and slow it heats my legs.
My quad core 7 is not as hot.
My old 10 year old home PC P4 I used at work for a while after the last work PC blew up, was much faster than the celeryon, it (celeryon) moved to my desk after its previous user left. it is used for XP tasks.
Make it easy to play a game, make it easy to buy and sell, and people will buy you console. Make it diffcult and people will check the competition.
Sony showed really good sense with the PS4, They interviewed the developers, they investigated architectures, they have gone into the next generation with thoughts of the PS1 and PS2 eras.
One final thing, console dominance does not matter as much as you think, because there will be a huge number of games to play - remember PS2 era?
Not many XB exclusives I actually want, but this generation ME came, Bioshock came, and latest Bioshock Infinite PS3 is great (Move support).
Now the one XB series I have wanted to try, the publishers have gone multiplatform, so I will get Destiny, on PS4.
First games will be Watch Dogs, Destiny, KZ Shadow Fall, Order 1886. Now how can that go wrong?
And we only went PS3 since we had a PS2
Set it up YEARS ago before I had an ISP. My internet access was VERY naughty. Our ISDN work ISP did not check originating number, so I used that, free internet, but high line rental (paid by work). My boss did too.
Now have ISP account, a hotmail, a work, and personals on my own domains.
The hotmail was the easiest web account to use.
