    Please review my website

    I think you did a good job overall, but I have a few comments. The scrolling text at the top of the header is just too much. I think it looks a bit cheesy. The text below it is a nice animation, impressive without the cheese. I would slow down the rate of the animation a bit. It repeats so...

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    I have 3 machines at home running XP home, and a laptop with Vista. XP works great, Vista has been a constant problem. BSOD's every week, at least. I tried Ubuntu on the laptop, but the sound system never worked well. I just could not get my iTunes CD's to ID in Musicbox. I refuse to manually...

    The Downfall of the Gaming Industry

    Uh, what do you think they designed and marketed the game for, to LOSE money? They are a BUSINESS. They exist for only one reason, to make profit. They will do whatever it takes to make the maximum profit. It follows to reason that they would cater to the needs of the many, because that produces...

    The Downfall of the Gaming Industry

    First, I think you are getting it backwards. The manufactures did not rely on graphics and skip originality, it was the customers that demanded better graphics. Cookie cutter games exist because they SELL. If the market demanded more originality, then the manufacturers would produce it. I...

    Who plays Warhammer Online?

    I have recently been playing Warhammer Online while taking a break from LOTRO. I have found the RvR play very fun. This is strange, because I have never been able to stand PvP in any other MMO. Somehow, it is fun and engaging in War. Anyone else like it?

    Sony slashing 16,000 jobs

    But you are assuming that good profit from one division would be used to support another division. This usually does not happen. If TV sales are down, they will shut down and lay people off, even if the corporation as a whole is making money. Shunting profits to a losing division is a quick way...
