Well, at one point the PS3 wasn't cracked, and the cost of Blu-Rays were $20 each (for blanks). I'm sure that has some part to play in it, but you also have to look at exclusives. For example, as far as I know the last Final Fantasy only came out on 360, as well as games like Halo. When it really comes down to it, exclusives play a huge role in systems and how well they sell.

Indeed, exclusives is what devines consoles lately. I have an X-Box, but only for it's Kinect and Halo. I'd buy a PS3 only for Dust 512.
For cracked games... Just buy them, the manufacturers put a lot of efford in it

Hahaha ok and I'm everywheeeeereeeee :PNah I have been out of the loop for quite a while hence my messy comeback xDThanks for the support velma, much appriciated

Sounds like fun!Is it coding now or soemthing else?

Well in a way money is good ánd evil. It really depends on how it's used.It can be used for greed, stock it all up in 1% of the population and let 99% be poor, to buy weapons to wage war or make people jump whenever you tell them to.But it could also be used to feed 100% of the people, invest it in a better world, better healthcare and research/build a more eco friendly society.I can't vote in this lol, as it's used for evil, but can be used for good as well if people wanted to.

I'd say Avast. Escpecially with the latest updates it had.It's not demanding in resources at all and provides good security on many levels.Mine has allready stopped about several hundred virusses etc last year.

EVE Online!It's one of the best mmorpg's out there and has a very original concept... Spaceships

Thanks Velma!I just sent a mail to help at Xisto.com about the issue.I'd rather get the other acct deleted as it use my original mail lolNo worries I'll stick around both forums

Hello,After quite a while I came back. I didn't know my old account from Xisto still worked so I registered a new Account on the forums (both here and on sutra) wich uses my mail email adres.I wonder if someone who is able can delete my other account on here

I wonder how to see my myCents?I linked this account with the same email as Xisto - Web Hosting but I can't seem to find it

:DWell it is different and I had to get used to it, it looks great.In the time I have been gone I'm 1 child richer, a beautifull daughter, lots of work and online gaming in spare time.How have you been Velma?

It began nine years ago... When my son was born. The misery that I should have seen coming. A girl from an orphanage, too easygoing, too young to be so easy, too young to be a mother. A long story that is difficult to shorten up.

 

When my son was born, it all started..

Every weekend to a hotel, not to be close to her child, asking me to let him be adopted, threatening to throw him off the balcony, shaking the little boy in his box, to get him quiet .

I had to take him to work, so I lost two jobs and always nagging that I was not able to keep a job. Visitation appointments were broken when we finally parted ways.

 

But the biggest crap began when he was 4 years. A child of 4 can not describe in detail how abuse works, and yet he managed to tell exactly what to do with his mother's boyfriend. After I confronted her with this and pointed out that she couldn't see her son for a while because of his safety, she was never to be heard from again. Through youth care we proposed (in this period, with my current girlfriend in our lives) for contacts between my son and his mother to start. After two times she fail to meet, and we had to deal with a broken heart kiddo again. A few weeks later, we (my son, girlfriend and I) agains saw her on the station, where she only looked angry at her own son and said nothing. Another heart broken boy, who allready had so much behind him. Then there was some harassing phone calls and then nothing.

 

4 years later we received an envelope in the mail. My son's bio-mom asked for visitation.

I say bio-mom, because my son has my current girlfriend for 4 years accepted as a mother, as she has done everything for him and gave him everything he missed, what I could not.

His bio-mom said that she didn't contact my son for four years because she wanted another lawyer (now one more year later, she also indicates that over the last four years she had no money to care for the boy).

In court my lawyer suggested to let visitation begin in a special youth care house, assuming that it acts in the best interest of the child. The court asked to start it right away, even after I said my son has mental problems from his childhood and I wanted these to be taken care of first. There was a second trial. Now the judge told me that I had "cold feet" and if I did not start the visitation trough youth care, he would made sure it started without the youth care. Nice choice: s

 

Last year in June began the process of youth care. It started well, I went there with an open mind, his bio-mother also seemed to work real hard for it and semed changed until the time came in January when my son was allowed to stay for the first weekend. Appointments were not fulfilled, manupalitive talks with him, he was allowed to steer the car of her current boyfriend, all crammed full of gifts and all that he wants, no rules. His bio-mom has even jumped the rails of the train for a bit to grab a stone for him before his own eyes (!). Mothers of my son's friends in the neighborhood tell my son has to like her current boyfriend and I could still go on and on..

She also criticized my parenting, in his presence and she always keeps his clothes we give along in the weekends..

Earlier I said that the house should dealing in the interest of the child, right? Tjah ... If I toss all above things on the table they tell me my son is a liar and manipulates, bio-mom makes up a nice story and all is good. I even had to lie to my own son, and to some extent take the blame on me, to why his bio-mother was away for four years!

Now it appears that she works at the same court as where the visitation trials took place: s

 

What a system, my lovely ex can do anything she wants, and my son can soon clean up the pieces, because no body wants / can do anything because Mrs. has them in her pocket by playing the victim roll.

 

What a system....

Video games are like someone mentioned before just a form of entertainment and education (some). Some can see it as a way to forget real life problems. It starts to be a waste of time when you get addicted to them and play 24/7, or worse.Personally Ive been there, done that, so I know when it starts to be a waste of time and energy, forgetting that whats really important.Enjoy games, but moderate yourself

Personally I like Air Band, its simple but makes you actually feel you can play an instrument.For family and friends use Kinect Adventures is a lot of fun

Imo if you don't like, don't play it no need to hate it hahaI tried it years ago, up to the level it started to cost money, then I just quit and never thought about the game.

Excelent review OP.I play EVE Online now for 5 years and still loving the game!I do have to say, this is a game in wich the longer you play, the more fun it gets. Flying Titans and Supercarriers (very very big ships) is usually for players who play at least 2-3 years and imo not the ships every player would like to fly, due to their time and costs.Instead you start with frigate class, cruiser class and up. Improved frigates and cruisers, battlecruisers and so on, wich are way more fun to fly in pvp. The owners (CCP) also made it easier now for newer player to jump in with gifts that shorten train times, moneymaking etc etc.Awesome game

I am so sorry,I just found out my old account has been transferred here.Anyways, it's good to be here again and I hope to read you all soon

Video games are entertainment. They are no more crap than Television is crap, computers are crap, websites are crap, or any hobby is crap.
People use them to bring friends together, to meet new people, to make money, or to get away from the hard work of everday life. You may not be a fan of video games, or you may not play them, but that gives you no right to call them a waste of time or to bash the people who play them.

I hate how people bash on the technology age like it's changing people for the worse. This happens every time there is a new technological breakthrough. What do you think Ungor was saying when they first invented the wheel? It's always the same thing. History repeats itself.

True, I often have words with my girlfriend about this.
Usually when she turns on the TV I turn on my PC, and when her shows have ended, I get bashed at for sitting behind the PC so much

I rather pay a game then watch mindless shows, soaps or w/e.
With gaming you meet people from all over the globe, you do get some kind of training, whether its in logic, staying alert, strategy or aiming.
I rather be in control with an interactive game then be controlled by some TV program in wich you have nothing to say

But besides all that, they should control youths more with some games. Most games are too agressive lately and too gory, wich isn't good for young minds. Or too addictive, wich isn't good either for their schoolgrades and RL social lives.

Grrr this just ticks me off,been without internet for 4 weeks, only because of a stupid mistake at my provider.They cut me off, because they thought I was behind with payments for like 4 months, allthough my bank account stated otherwise, they didn't believe me, not even when I send them a copy of an overview. After wasting like ?50,- on phonebills (they have a number wich costs like ?0,20 per minute and put you on hold for like 30mins) and 4 letters, they finally brought me back online.They even dared to charge me almost ?30,- for plugging me in, thats when they met my lawyer >_<So am back now after 26 days to repay my debts to T17

yeah, Empire at war really rocks,I Really like the details in the battlecam, makes you feel like your playing a battlescene from the movies when GFX is set to maximum.The expansion is fun as well, but the original game remains the best.

Unfortunately I'm not going anywhere, probably am going to watch some horrormovies at home.Halloween is a rising holiday here in Holland, so maybe soon there will be parties anywhere and I can go hunt candies with my son

The first computer I used was a Pentium I, running on DOS.Not the easiest way to learn, but after 3 PC's I kinda got the hang of it.This knowledge of DOS really was usefull after I started using Win95 and so on.I can still remember my favorite games on that computer, Quake I and Duke Nukem

I rarely watch TV, but some of the programs that make me turn on teh TV are,StargateStartrekInvasionAliasand the sportsnews when soccer comes on

Terrorism is powered by the everyday media. They will put on the news the latest terrorist attack and oif course, show suspects. As always, muslim people. We see this and without realising we are, start hating muslim people. You will treat them differently just because of their faith. Now that you are discrimating against innocent muslim people this, of course, makes them angry. If you were were constantly suspected to be a terrorist, wouldn't you get abit angry?

True, our media is the biggest reason, only due to the fact they only choose to tell one side of the story.
I can remember there was a terrorist action on the Washington bridge, they arrested some Isreali people and removed it from the media right after that. But if it were muslims we would hear it every hour of the day.

I would be furious if I were muslim and saw these things happen.

The terrorist recruiters use this and with their own make, make them join their terrorist group. I'm not saying ALL muslims do this, but this is a form of recruitment the terroist group use.

In addition, I would like to note that the American government sponsored such training camps,
in fact, they made the Taliban powerfull enough to pull off 9/11

Also america reley on those parts of the countries for supplies in oil and food, would be a HUGE cost to fire a nuke as well. Too many disadvantages and not enouh advantages.

So true, if they really were to 'save the world', they would have acted towards North Korea instead of Iraq.
But because there isn't much to gain from invading Korea, they refuse to do so.

Now they are seeking trouble with Turkey as well, a European country...
Somewhere I hope Europe will stand up against the most powerfull government,
if it was only to balance the power in the world. (in politics I mean, not war, that would be the end lol)

The weather here...Am personally from Holland, where the weather is acting weird at times,usually its like this, 1 week sun, followed by 4 weeks rain heheh.Now its October and we have even more sun then we had in the summer

That really was a low thing to do, for just a ticket warrant they can make your whole life miserable,just because they can, thats how the law works nowadays.But if the tail light situation wasnt true, why not go to the authorities and claim they reverse the damage or sue em?
