Can I just bookmark this page (i only have 2 bookmarks total for the past 6 years) and then I don't have to bother adding more crap to my minimalistic sig? You can keep yours, you post as much as me.

How do you LIVE without bookmarks?  I have dozens upon dozens, they're almost a history of my adventures on the internet.  I periodically purge the more useless ones but it still grows over time. 

P.S.  You can count on me to help you out with SCII.
I'm generally good with addresses, the only 2 bookmarks (3 now) I had to deal with C++ and Java libraries.

There IS another option, donate enough money so that on Dec. 31st I can buy whatever SC2 is lacking, if it is.

Yeah, but unless you have one of those perfect memories I don't believe you can keep track of the amount of stuff I am keeping bookmarks of.  I mean, it's easy to remember a website address, but what about a specific thread or article or whatever?  And what about a website you don't visit often? 

I admit that a lot of my bookmarks could be substituted for by the "favorites" function a subscriber gets in YouTube, for example, but VG Chartz, for another example, does not have such a functionality that I am aware of.  Although I guess I could think of a way around that too ... but still!  That's basically just subcontracting the bookmarks. 

I would lose so much information, so many little corners of the world wide web that I would have a hell of a time tracking down again, if I had to live the way you do voluntarily.  And I wouldn't be able to browse through them and say, "oh yeah, that one".  I guess it's a cross between actual reference material and a photo album. 

To each their own I guess. 

P.S.  How's THAT for off topic? 

Touche, however I don't remember the addresses per se, I remember how I got to the information that I needed, whether it's the googled word or the forum post name or whatever got me to the place I need to be at. I never ussed bookmarks as much for keeping track of a page as much as I have for quick use. After all it only takes a click or two.

Man... I was hoping for a 360/PS3 fan to come in the thread and start throwing out KZ2 and GT5 or RE5 in my face, but noooo, it had to be the one game which stands a chance.......

So.... anyone wanna help me with my plan of informing EVERY MOTHER/CHILD with a wii on how to pirate MKWii to even out the footing? I was thinking that we can hack the Nintendo servers and make it a mandatory update which pops up the moment the Wii is turned on.

 GT5 might be monster enough to put up a fight against Starcraft 2 as well. It would probably need to launch earlier in the year to win for sure though. I am kind of hoping a game without Wii in the title could challenge it, but I doubt the combined sales of the Rockband, or Guitar Hero series could take it down.

Since the PS3 is only going to be around 30m by EOY 2009, I don't know if I can see GT5 getting the kind of attach rate it would need to beat SCII.  Definitely not a "win for sure" even if GT5 came out tomorrow.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I dare say that SCII will be the most pirated game of 2009.

I would bet on Sims 3. And there is way too many interesting games just like in 2008. :)

Every of those have potential to be a very good game. For example did you know witcher before it came out? It did sold incredible amounts of copies and were completely unknown game.

@Shio

I am part of glorious PC gaming race(^^), but as someone has said you are no better than propaganda Mike(B).



New crap available on mi pages!

Indeed, all this has caused the inevitable: PC HAVE BY FAR THE BEST GAMES LINEUP IN 2009 (Better than all consoles combined?)

The Sims 3 and Diablo 3 are the only games I know on this list of PC games. I use to be a huge PC gamer. However, I decided to go with consoles. PS3 has a great line-up of games for 2009.

PC lineup gobbles up and spits out PS3's weak lineup. Just saying.

Oooh, a PC fanboy! A rare sight indeed.

Well, I counted 11 games that I've heard of out of all those. This list is even more obscure than the crap some of those Wii fanboys come up with.

It's not PC's fault that you are ignorant about PC games. I can tell you that alot of the games I listed have a big potential. Some examples:

...

There's a hell of alot more examples. Why do you think PC has always the best lineup every year?

 

shio said:

I doubt any console has a better lineup on exclusive action games. But just like I said on the second post, I have not added all the bigger PC games, among them are 2 hyped action games:

 

And then the hilarity, you asking someone to prove their opinion:

One_touch_KO said:
Too bad that more than half of that list will be crap games...

Prove your point (of course you can't prove it)

 

 

-edit-

shio said:

Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Going to watch Wall-E and Raging Bull on my PC while laying down on my bed.

 

 

Because you can't do that without a computer.

 

If I thought the PC had a line-up that could rival all consoles combined, would you think that just the PS3 alone could be admitted to rise up to the same expectations? Think of the same situation as someone coming in and say that PS3 could beat Wii, X360 and PS2 sales in 2009, when other's expectation is that the Wii will beat all other consoles combined.

Btw, I did not say that PC will have better lineup than all consoles combined, only that unlike past years, there's a sizeable chance it could happen. And in the action games bit, you can see me only comparing the action "genre" to only 1 console, not all of them.

And ofcourse, you can tell me a year when PC did not have the best line-up (except the primordial days when PC was still beginning and consoles were already abundant). Until then I stand by my point.

I watched Raging Bull, and it was a great movie. I did not mean anything either.

Should I add some information about each game? This way people who don't know the games or who's developing them could know more.
