You proved speed reading has its flaws, anything out of context with the rest of the text is easily overlooked. People picked up on the Angry birds part which is right above your red herring. It's one of those things that your mind does.

Watch Brain games if you want to know how much you can trust your mind to pick up on details. It's surpisingly little.

Anyway I missed it too the way I pretty much read every article, read the first paragraph, read the last, skim over the middle.

 


Test your brain is pretty fun to watch, I only can't get part 1/1 on YouTube, blocked for my country while it was aired here a long time ago anyway. Worth to watch.

 

Skip to 3:24 and see how well you do.
One of the more mind blowing things is people being replaced behind a counter with less then half of the customers noticing that they're suddenly talking to a completely different person.


why don't you use the add on foxyproxy or so? no clue which browser you use but it works fine, i live in germany and most music videos are blocked because of our music rights here but with that i can see every video without a problem. (it's an add-on so if installed it works in the backround after setting it only for youtube or more sites if you want)

I don't know any good proxy servers and my attention span isn't long enough anyway to go searching for one :) I just find it odd that content that is aired on tv here is blocked on the internet for viewing.

It was TL;DR, don't be too proud of yourself.

So I've read a bunch of thoughts trying to point to this, but when you got to the part where you said that developers would put their console games on tablets and that they will have more affordable price tags I tuned out. Why would games in the near future be priced lower on tablets than they would on home consoles? Tablets are a new market, prices are sitting outside of what they typically are, not sure why but it won't last. Consoles will adapt better digital distribution methods that will bring everything into sync.

Personally controls can be worked around with an external controller, bluetooth style perhaps. But I still prefer hooking a console up to a tv, though I wouldn't be against one of the current console makers to make a tablet console that has video out and portable multi-functionality, but will technology be able to keep shrinking like that? We have battery size limitations that could put a real dent in future superiority of handheld devices. We could have tablet consoles that you plug into an external adapter for home use though. But on the go it might be best not to play demanding games with it.

Since Apple is the biggest tablet company now, they could get into the gaming industry full swing, but I think we'd see the current game console makers enter with their own multi-tasking machines and Apple will no longer be king. The industries are merging, not shifting.

I'm quoting myself to show where I screwed up. This topic is so common now I figured it was a real point because I've seen numorous times people trying to argue this. To provide myself of any dignity I have left I was more interested in discussing the topic rather than spewing assumptions and hate. It was just too hard to keep on reading.

It seems you might deserve L as your avatar more than I was led to believe at first, for that I give you a slow clap.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

I'm sad I missed this thread. But to be honest, it doesn't prove users "never" read the topic. It just proves many users don't bother reading the same old tired topic (and LONG ones at that) all the way through.

I remember making a "What are you looking forward to" thread for the New Year and although I specified I didn't want lists that's mostly all I got.



Signature goes here!

This should be put in the OP btw.
