No-no-no! The majority of MW2 players are 13-15-year-olds (if I'm off here it's not by a mile), who simply don't understand the meaning of the word "boycott". They joind in thinking it would be a great idea for dedicated servers to be available, but when you actually explain what the word means they go "huh? i never agreed to that! I wanna play!".

6 years of playing InstaGib modes have not passed unnoticed... I have stopped playing shooters online after people started kicking me for cheating. The only game i'm still able to play normally is Nexuiz - people there seem more skilled than any other mainstream game and don't bitch when being 1-shotted 3-4 times in a row from a distance of half the map (zoom is there, but i rarely use it).

Immortal time-traveling alien sharks with human-level AI and freakin' lasers? That would be fun, wouldn't you agree?

Out of 100 depressed fat 35-year-old gamers polled 99 turned out to be depressed fat 35-year-old gamers. 1 turned 36 while being polled.

... if she now gets sued for "stealing" from "Private Doctor Association of America" (I'm sure there is one) by diagnosing her own self and not by paying a doctor to do it? Even though she did visit a pathologist.

What about the guy flipping the "on" switch on the money printing machine? Where does he fit in all of this?

Most certainly is! Ah, the blisters in my thumbs blaying the hand-held day and night, the "come on, you lazy piece of crap, fall faster" shouts while you're still on low levels (and no, hitting down button still wasn't fast enough)... Those were the days...

Now all they have to do is put 3 seashells in the toilets, set automated swearing fines up and set Wesley Snipes loose...

There's always the Guest account. Or you can just say no in a polite but firm way. Some people on Slashdot will put it in a simpler way saying: Tell them to fuck off! The fack is, for some of us/them/whatever asking to use one's laptop is like asking to use one's girlfriend - it's unpleasant to say the least. And if someone fuckes her up... That's why the only real to keep it private is not alowing anyone near it. Unpleasant? Maybe. Safer by not letting some random person poke his dirty firgers at it? Most definitely. You've been given plenty of options. The choice is really up to you.

Actually I do (though it has become a long distance relationship lately), and she hates the series. Tried playing Sims 2 once... Took her an hour to get fed up with it. So yeah, I still fail to understand how a person, in his/her right mind can like this game. Sure, mod me a troll, really couldn't care less. The fact stands, this is one of the most pointless and advertised games out there (that and WoW - no flamebait intended, just my PERSONAL opinoin). And people buy/pirate (or rather aks to) it simply because the know not any better. That's why the outrage... stop, think for a while, use your heads for once, insted of blindly following the ads.

Has anyone used "a series of tubes" up yet?

Sims? As someone with NO download limit I would still feel it a huge waste to download this (master)piece of crap. I mean come on! Wake up people! You're being turned into minless zombie sheep! Wouldn't play it even if they paid me for it...
