The reason people are annoyed by this is that it's pointless. Firstly, Direct X 10 should work on XP. For example, OpenGL 4 has all the features of DX 11, and runs on XP, using DX11 cards, at a similar speed to DX 11. Regardless of that, a company that specializes in graphics benchmarks should...

I am forever suffering this kind of prejudice

Don't kill me for saying this, but I think the media plays a role. We hear of adults being killed far more than kids being killed, so we become more desensitized to the death of an adult that the death of a child, which is more of a shock. Also, children are seen as defenceless. Its sadder if...

It's the sequel to the orange box. To get Portal 2 and Half life 2: Episode 3, you need to buy Half life 2, Half life 2: Episode 1, Half life 2: Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 again.

Wow, I had no idea, very few people have even heard of it.

I agree, that was a really depressing ending, because it really showed how tragic mental illness can be. Mental illness is normally overly "hollywood" when shown on TV, where it is either a small quirk, or makes you a serial killer. They tend to miss side where it completely destroys your life...

Nooo, Greenpeace aren't like that. I think this announcement is a little bit nutty by Greenpeace standards. They are normally quite decent in what they do, protecting the environment and crashing expensive speedboats. Please dont confuse them with groups like PETA.

Just the 'Big' ISPs? I'll keep using little post office broadband in that case.

There's almost no point in a TF3. What would they do? It's one of those games that's just, well, fine the way it is.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Also, I can't believe I thought the ending of Ashes to Ashes was sappy because a few characters say goodbye in the last 2 minutes. It was like the ending of resevoir dogs compared to Lost. And the ending made more sense, probably because the writers of Life...
