• • 13 Year Old Steals Dad's Credit Card to Buy Hookers (To play Halo)

  • Sounds like he already knows the ropes of being a top politician.  His dad must make alot of money though to open up a $30k line of credit.

• • PVP - the acceleration and the loss of strategy

  • I disagree that CounterStrike is faced paced rush and die no strategy.  Thats Unreal, Quake, Half-life, Battlefield that are like that.  Counter Strike you move cautiously and strike at right times, because you only have 1 life per round so if you die you have to wait for the better people to finish.  I don't find any strategy to pvp in mmos.  Best Gear Wins.  You don't even have twitch controls to atleast put a challenge to it, just stand in place and repeat the same 3 shortcuts.

• • Can Obama Beat McCain?

  • I like to try and think of how the candidates will deal with the issues right now.  Immigration, The war on terror, strengthening diplomatic ties, bringing jobs back to america, education, healthcare, and alternative fuels/transportation.

    I really don't see Obama addressing these issues well.  His plans would increase federal spending 200 billion.  Thats not gonna come from thin air but from my pocket.  I make near minimum wage, but even I know that the healthcoverage I will get from the government won't equate to the extra taxing I will pay for it.  On education he seems to want to make it federal controlled, which actually could pan out to be a good idea, but federal controlled agencies usually come with a mountain of beaurocracy and overspending.  All this while his kids attend private school and our kids go through public education.  His solution to maintaining the peace in the middle-east is to pull out and hope things resolve themselves without US intervention, which I believe is a bad idea just looking back since 1945.  I don't think we should pull out until a diplomatic solution is finally met.  His reactions to other issues on the War on Terror seam to flip flop on what his views on Iraq are.  Is he going to pre-emptively go to war with Pakistan, then just pull out hoping for no remifications?  Also when you look at his views on education and healthcare.  They are influenced by socialist ideas.  So there is some merit to him being affected by Wrights preaching.

    When you look at McCain, we know who he is and what he stands for.  I actually trust him to handle the War on Terror well.  He served in the military, and so has his 4 sons.  I think when he says we will be in Iraq another 100 years is a fair assessment based on the previous amount of time we spent in other countries.  On immigration, I would trust a man from Arizona more then someone from Michigan to do whats right.  On healthcare he chose to side with the taxpayers, and on education he thinks the no child left behind act had good intentions but can use improving.  He is also honest about the fact that he cannot force jobs back to america, some are simply lost.  Ontop of this he is pro-active in the government on the economic issues.  He was the forefigure on the stimulus checks, and he also wants to reduce gas prices.  I am planning to vote for him in November.

• • I'M Waiting for the next planetside!

  • Huxley and APB are coming out soon.  If its true its an untapped resource, then Webzen is going to make a killer.  I'm sure many FPS fans eagerly anticipate being able to play in arenas larger then 32 people.  Most of these types of games have a cap though, even Planetside had to implement a 399 person cap per region.  I would also say The Agency, but its more small instances.

• • Lets stop all of the AoC/WAR flame/troll fests.

  • Can't just say 2 of the most hyped mmos should be immune to flames.  What about use guys who are tired of the crappy cookie cutter western mmos that keep making the same mistakes over and over again?  I think its better to approach these overhyped bags of shit as a pessimist so you don't end up stomping them out when the flames start.  There are alot of trolls for every mmo, including things that just aren't true.  Often times these cutting edge and innovative games get pushed to the wayside by trolls and the overhyped garbage that is AoC and WAR.
