    Nintendo gets sued!

    I have to agree with a post I've read either on this site or another forum site: there should be a reasonable way of saying that if Company A has a patent on a type of technology, but don't use it within a certain amount of time, Company B has the right to at least attempt it. Think of where...

    Poll: What difficulty level do you play on (first playthrough)?

    I hear a lot of people saying 'Hardest' difficulty, but what happens when you're 20 hours in and stuck (assuming it's one of the games that you can't change the difficulty mid-game). There's been too many games that have done that to me.

    OWW! my paintballs....

    I would kill for some RAP4 markers...but alas they're extremely expensive ($400 for pistols...). For those that don't know, RAP4 specifically designs their markers to look like real guns.

    OWW! my paintballs....

    Sniper Rifles are 'made' when people modify their markers (the first poster's marker would be considered a 'sniper'), however it's been shown that they are not more accurate, nor do they have a greater range. I've seen videos of homemade paintbazookas, essentially they're the same as the...

    Not a bad buy, but he's looking cheap I believe he said... A5 is $180 stock

    OWW! my paintballs....

    I fully recommend the Tippman brand, but as I said above I have a 98 Custom ($100) and my friend has the Alpha Black ($150 or so I believe). He's had a lot more problems with his Alpha Black that I've had with my 98 Custom (but Tippman has replaced his parts free so far). Internally they're...

    OWW! my paintballs....

    I usually paintball on a weekly basis, but my current financial situation has prevented me from playing the last couple of weeks. Tippman 98 Custom w/RDS, G36 folding stock and a true double trigger. I don't mind FPS, but they're far from my favorite genre.

    Poll: What difficulty level do you play on (first playthrough)?

    The only problem I see with that is I usually can't stand to play through a game more than twice...and the second time is usually down the road a little ways. I'm more into getting the story the first time through, getting the challenge the second time, then moving on to a new game.

    Poll: What type of gamer are YOU?

    Should have separated Snipers and Special Ops, two very different styles... But I'm a Special Ops guy myself

    Poll: What difficulty level do you play on (first playthrough)?

    Non-specific to any particular game type (Action, RPG, FPS, or Sports) what difficulty do you usually start on? Feel free to explain. I admit that I'm big on the 'easy' mode in games. I prefer to wade through crowds to advance the story, rather than get stuck three-quarters of the way...

    Should I fear Steam?

    Steam's monitoring abilities are similar to Xfire...you can see what you're friends are playing only if they're logged into the 'Friends' section of steam (so you can play games without being on the 'Friends' part). The advantage for a game like Team Fortress 2 (included in the Orange Box) you...

    Names

    First: Jason - Greek for 'Healer' Middle: Thomas - Aramaic for 'Twin' Last: No meaning, but in searching for one I found out that only 1 out of every 400,000 Americans share my last name :P (750 total people in the 2000 census)

    Best Kind of Goverment?

    An anarchist state would end up like Somalia...a faction bans together and takes over all food/oil/etc production for themselves and leaves the innocent civilians out to dry.
