Their involvement with EA seems entirely based around getting HL2 and its episodes on other platforms. (PS3 and XBox 360)
I'm hoping it doesn't go beyond that, and I do wonder why it occurs at all.
I just remembered a reason why these huge game publishers annoy me:
All those games where you get the giant publisher logo at the start... so annoying!
I really can't stand the number of logos folks slap on games these days. They could at least integrate them with the game like they do with movies!
Nintendo liking little children and old people?!
Nah, they just like accessibility. I think it works well, because otherwise they would be developing the same stupid games as everyone else.
Not sure if we're in agreement here, but I do think complex games like well written RPGs and first-person shooters (in moderation... right now is ridiculous though seems to be calming down a tad) can be good.
I'm excited for the next C&C. They seem to be finally returning to the roots :)
I hope they do it right!
The beta of Edgy has been great for me :)
Who said that it was bad?
People complain a bit, but it is noticeably fast and the various system tools like the updater (now sorts types of updates into sections), package manager and network configuration have been made much more useful and pretty looking. The shared folders and wireless support (and wireless speed) have also improved substantially.
Paid for Linuxes, eh? They're probably not bad at all, but I don't see a reason to. (Especially with the awful computer I have running Linux...)
I've seen some nice support for Compiz out of the box in the payed ones, though, and they probably have generally superior designs with minimal terminal use.
Edit:
I was going to ask that, too, Chroma.
You don't like half-life-ish stuff, you don't like childish or old people games...
Are you one of those Asteroids people? :b
