Oh yes, and dark it was

Just throwing my 2c out there, but the idea behind the R18+ wasn't so much as to allow games of a higher level of violence into the country, but to make sure that any games not suitable for younger audiences don't reach their hands. Having worked in both retail and IT, the mentality of...

I can see this expanding Valve taking on AppleTV and iTunes. Think about it...

**DISCLAIMER: I WAS A COMPLAINER!!!** Back after a few days of silence, work, and observing. I can see improvements so far. The use of a picture for the side borders is the first, and best, fix so far. Great work. The servers seem to be handling traffic and database queries a bit better...

Sadly, this would have to be the first Zelda game which I lost interest in. Now, I've played every Zelda game to completion (CDi excluded, of cause), but I haven't even gone past the first temple. The motion controls, while amusing at first, just got in the way of the story and general...

Well, it's been about a week. Let's see... No true acknowledgement of people's complaints and grievances, many thousands of burnt retinas, and an increasing annoyed viewer base...good work. Now, some advice. Put a coloured border to cut the eye burning. Gizmodo and the like did it after...

I think a new article acknowledging the issues people are having, as well as what they are going to fix the issues and/or what they will be leaving alone would be a good for PR. Doesn't take that much effort really...

Follow-up: The lighter blue on a white background REALLY hurts peoples eyes (Just checked with a few mates of mine, I raced for the Panadol) Advice to The Escapist: Have a dark coloured border on the left and right to focus the eyes on the content Separate your content from things...

So far... Pages take ALOT longer to load (if at all), and I would attribute that to the large increase of SQL queries on the site. The floating menus for each section don't load, showing long lists of SQL queries. Many, many broken queries. The new colour scheme makes it easier to get...

I think for all of us, whether we liked Apple or not, we cannot argue the impact he has made to technology, and society as a whole. May his vision for a better tomorrow forever live on in Apple, the people who worked and knew him, and in everyone.

Didn' they try this in the 90's? Or am I thinking of another crappy VG based brand?

Great Science to rap video. MP3 please :D
