This seems unlikely, given the AC:B soundtrack (including 'Apple Chamber') has been on iTMS for months. If the soundtrack is a rip, though, surely its tracks would be different (eg. in length) to the iTMS release?

If the PS3 isn't a Slim, you could put a Linux distro on it. I'm not sure whether there are many other practical obstacles to getting some Linux games going, though; I'm pretty sure PS3 Linux distros can't access most of the PS3's processing capability, so modern games probably won't happen...

Not sure why everyone keeps referring to these pics as porn. Near-nudes are not porn.

I might point out that I never said it isn't a good idea for Sony to make its games more accessible (not just to the vision-impaired but also to hearing-impaired, motor-impaired, etc.). I think that's a fantastic idea. But it's also a far cry from placing a legal obligation on the developer or...

Lawl. Bingo. Art forms can't fall under the jurisdiction of discrimination legislation. Should painters be obliged to make paintings accessible?

Wow, lots of cynicism and hurt people in here :( I might note that every instance of the words 'women' and 'girls' in here can people replaced with 'people' - people are hard to read, people are bastards/bitches/horrible. This isn't always the case - sometimes you do fall in with a genuinely...

Nobody's born good at public speaking; you have to do it to get better at it. I'd say it's equal parts knowledge and attitude: knowing your content intimately enables you to be flexible (not to mention much more engaging than someone who's speaking from rote), but if you don't have the...

My mates got me some for my 21st, and I like them. They're just personalisation.

I perhaps phrased that badly. I shouldn't have said that playing an instrument requires only slightly more skill; obviously I am aware Guitar Hero is a watered down version of the experience of playing an instrument and requires like skill, finesse and subtlety (I played clarinet for a few years...

That's ridiculous. Playing music from an actual instrument doesn't involve that much more in the way of mental or phsyical skill; the only differences are that you don't get visual cues for rhythm. You still play each note sequentially as it comes up on the music sheet.

The risk of swine flu is worth going to your doctor over but not hyperventilating over. I'm in Melbourne, where we had the world's highest concentration of swine flu cases this winter (our winter - and hence our flu season - runs June 'til August). There was originally containment and...

Two wrongs don't make a right, matey, and intolerance begets intolerance. Besides, I'm not making fun of everyone else; I sure as hell didn't tick the white male box in the womb. Should I be punished when I go to Japan because some white dude discriminated against some other person somewhere?

To everyone who's replying with, "I'm white and I think this is funny," well, if you live in a country where you're not in a minority, you probably don't quite get it. It's easy to laugh at this if you're white and you're sitting at home in Aus or the States or wherever; racism has likely not...

Not posession of power in itself. I find the ability to use power to intelligently, effectively and ethically accomplish worthwhile goals sexy, though. Man, I can't say anything without qualifying the hell out of it >_>

I was reading the Escapist long before ZP, but I never posted on the boards. Actually, I still don't post, so that's okay :P
