Simply because it didn't add anything to the series. It was literally a carbon copy of Call of Duty 4 with different character models. If you liked World at War, what you really liked was Call of Duty 4, and before that, Call of Duty 2. There is literally nothing remarkable about any of the...

:1orglaugh Thank you for the intro :D Truth be told, you can avoid 95% of all of that crap just by not giving yourself administrator privileges.

Bungie's explanation of their separation from Microsoft was largely lip service. Bungie never wanted to leave Microsoft, they got exactly what they wanted, a secure job developing one series of games, with whatever budget they wanted. It was once Bungie decided they wanted to make different...

Treyarch wouldn't exist without Infinity Ward. The original Call of Duty was at best a mediocre game. Then Infinity Ward got a hold of it and made Call of Duty 2, then Call of Duty 4, and now Modern Warfare 2 the most recognized and best selling FPS franchise of all time. It's not even close.

Not to detract from your statement, but the Beatles didn't write "Imagine". Lennon wrote that himself after they split. But I agree with your point, I'd put the Beatles up top quite easily.

Eh, let me know when they get rid of the horrible canned animations.

They didn't sell well, and last I heard the dev teams were reassigned.

I think he's referencing the act of domestic ******** as the rationale for Ortiz being stupid, not that he was arrested for it. But it does go to show you what a classless human being Tito Ortiz is.

Pretty much confirms what I've always suspected about Ortiz. Hopefully Jenna has a strong support system, especially with her **** being around that.

Seems like the wiki article summed it up nicely for you.

I saw that, pretty funny stuff.

Culpepper had a bad year when he was on the cover, then was an elite Quarterback for two full years after his cover came out. He didn't start to fade until he blew his knee out in 2005.

For those of us that have been aware of Dallas Braden, that's the type of player he is: fiery. A-Rod was just being his usual diva self. I've literally never seen a player run over the mound, that's just plain fucking stupid. I also loved the fact that an admitted steroid user tried to talk...

She's not.

Sad, but true.

That's a vast understatement. This is THE competition right now in South Korea, and one of the most famous competitors cheated, mind boggling to be honest.

Any time Alex Rodriguez gets called a bitch, I'm all for it.

Two words: Dan Haren.

I don't dissent from what you're saying, however fellow members clearly don't subscribe to this knowledge. That's where religion comes in. Prior to the rise of popular religion, marriage dating back to ancient Rome and well before sometimes consisted of a ring to announce your connection to...

Not to nitpick, but again, failures are not new, the quantity is new. Again, no, Microsoft did not know that there were failures in production, because they didn't test their consoles enough to know. That's why this whole problem exists. I'm not trying to be a Microsoft apologist, merely...

To be honest, the Giants struggles, (they're going to struggle offensively all season long, and for that reason will probably be near the bottom of the division) are about 100% management's fault. You can't really fault Edgar Renteria for being the terrible player he is at this point, he's...

Good point. Very well put. You'd think, however there seems to be a sentiment that Christianity and its traditions are timeless, and mankind has never known any other way.

PS2 had failures. X-box 360 had failures. They are the exact same phenomenon, and that hasn't changed since the Commodore 64 days. By virtue of the fact that the 360 has more complex hardware than earlier systems, it was inherently more prone to fail. That concept is nothing new, and to...

I don't believe it to be an excuse. The failure rate of 360's was unacceptable, there's no question. But to say that has single-handedly caused people to question if their machine will fail is disingenuous. Anyone with an elementary understanding of computer hardware would understand the more...

Marriage is not a Christian tradition. Ancient Greeks were marrying men to women, men to men, and women to women, hundreds of years before Christianity. These people don't necessarily want anything to do with Christianity, they want their right to marry, (since legally, it is a secular...

There was no need to before the 360 because no console in history has been this complex. The original X-Box was like an extremely low end PC. When the 360 launched, it had the hardware complexity of a high level PC at the time, and even to date is still a rather high end computer.

If you play it on easy, I could see only getting 5 hours out of it. Otherwise no. I just beat it today, and probably spent about 15-20 hours, but it's almost 100% how you play it. If you run and ***, it'll be quick, if you're stealthy, it won't. For the vast majority of the game, it is...

Pretty damn funny! Good find!

You mean Gizmodo "found" the phone by paying about $10,000 for it? Shocker.

Are we back to this garbage again?

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! We're barely 2 weeks into the season, relax, they'll be better.

Reminded me of an easy way to turn your iPhone into an iPad... http://i.imgur.com/W8qpn.jpg

While I don't believe ketchup is perishable unless it's opened and kept out for months, I don't think it'll "go bad" in the sense of molding. I think the primary concern would be *********** of the ingredients leading to an undesired taste.

Yes, revenue sharing has always been questionable at best with the Marlins, Royals, Tigers, and Pirates. They've historically spent less than 40% of their share of the revenue from the league, but Jeffrey Loria has put everyone else to shame by spending about 15% of the nearly $300 million the...

I'd venture a guess as to say almost any AL team would have been happy to have him as a DH, however the legal processes he was tied up certainly had a major effect.

Yeah, someone posted this about 6 months or so ago. Still interesting I suppose.

The 51% you're referring to was in circulation until late 2007, which according to the console's history puts it at about 13-15 million units. Of those that failed, less that 2 million were kept and a new unit send out, instead, Microsoft tried to fix it, which exacerbated the problem. The...

No, and she is retired.

The failure rate right now for the newest architecture is about 4% which is surprisingly better than either two other major systems. The problem is that Microsoft when they were sent the X-boxes to fix often just refurbished them, which only delayed the inevitable again.

For the record, yes there are server in Europe, else lag would make the game unplayable. Secondly, while your experience may differ, the vast majority of players online suffer minimal lag with the game, on any system. World at War was literally the exact same thing as COD4 in terms of it's...

You're probably right, but even that gives them a plus scorer coming up in the next year or two, which is obviously a lot better than had they not gotten that pick.

More often than not, what also happens is the price to start up a business decreases, in the case of technology, it's often because regulation costs are loosened.

I don't know how anyone could honestly objurgate what has been expressed on this board in relation to the protestors. For the record, the soldier in the article was not gay, and was targeted simply because he was a soldier. I don't know that there is any way to monetarily assess emotional...

Answer: not a whole lot.

Wow, I completely forgot that Boston got Toronto's 1st round pick in the Kessel deal. For some reason I thought it was a conditional 2nd rounder. Man that looks like it'll be a pretty good deal for Boston.

The spawning algorithm certainly has it's moments, but then again, I can't think of any FPS that hasn't suffered from that problem.

Bingo. Again, World at War was literally Call of Duty 4 with a WWII themed skin. Every major component of that game was cut and paste the same as Call of Duty 4. There is some lag online, but the lag time compared to most other games is quite minimal, although I've heard from a number of...

Yes, but I don't think anyone is trying to make the comparison of Tyson Ross to Nolan Ryan or Jim Palmer. He's a plus plus starting prospect, and the A's have started his service time essentially for nothing.

Got it early yesterday, and it's amazing so far. Every bit what I hoped it would be.

Bingo.
