Here's the key phrase: " "I think the social culture of video games is moving in a more negative direction as technology and social media continues to grow. Rather than growing with it, the trend seems to be devolving. More and more gamers seem to forget what this industry is all about." The problem here is one we see across corporate America (as well as in government:) companies think they know better than their own customers, what's good for them. Time was when a company satisfied consumer demand. That's no longer true, and so long as consumers continue to support these companies by purchasing their products or services, they're not going to change. And I've yet to understand what the hell he meant with: "the social culture of video games is moving in a more negative direction." Gamers (COD anyway) are like the military: we're out to break things and kill people. We're not so interested in a "social" interaction like a time out for cookies and tea. If this guy reflect the "social culture" of his company - and he probably does - we see where the problems really lies.

You have a constitutional right to free speech - to a point; for instance, provided it does not inpinge on the rights of others, and/or does not endanger the public. This was a Q&A set up by an elected official who have every right to control it, for instance, limiting questions to one per person, limiting the time a questioner took, suggesting a questioner sit down and refrain from further speech if he/she wasn't satisfied with the answer, etc., etc. The individual in the audience very clearly attended the session with the intention of disrupting it. He intended to make a political statement before he asked any questions and he was repeatedly told to limit his disruptive activity. He clearly intended to create a further scene as they were attempting to remove him so that the event could continue, fighting against those trying to restrain him (police officers) and using a loud vice. He could have been charged with assault, resisting arrest, battery and other crimes. I intensely dislike loudmouth motherfuckers like this who think the world resolves around them, who preach their rights while denying the rights of others. My only problem with this is the offices took FAR too long to remove them. If they would have clubbed the bastard I would have been more satisfied.

Nice work!!!

Got exactly what he asked for.

Have a great birtyday Doctor!!!!

Blackbart I had some friends in Sau Saint Marie Michigan that I used to go party with (They always had some good herb)...When the song The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald came out a bunch of his friends from the Canadian side of the bridge came over and wanted to throw a party in honor of the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald...Everyone got wasted and the party got loud and out of hand and was busted...When the cops found out what the party was for they broke up the party and let everyone go (minus the dope)...Never heard of the cops there giving anyone a free pass before that or since... Boy does this bring back memories. In 1975 I covered the St. Lawrence Seaway Develop. Corp. for my hometown newspaper in Ogdensburg, NY where Earnest McSorley, captain of the Edmund Fitzgerald, also grew up. When she went down, I was writing sidebar stories of the sinking on the local connection.

Yo Death, you crosseyed son of a Macedonian whore. Welcome to the land of Idiots...

Be sure to run Malware Bytes in safe mode. Have you tried restoring the system? Sounds like a browser hijack and the only way to really clean the system may be to wipe the HD and reinstall.

Lovyan we try to keep the spawn campers at bay - when it's blatant, we'll get them eventually. And yes, you get pounded a lot but I appreciate that you're often in game and are sticking to it. Your game play is definitely improving so keep at it. COD4 is very fast paced and the most important thing in this game is to start moving immediately after you spawn - often when I shoot you you're standing still. Use the run key, and for a sidearm, select the golden desert eagle - not everyone knows that with that particular sidearm you can run even faster.

Good to have you aboard the Good Ship Idiot Sokar!!!

Northeast Tennessee: No state income tax; four seasons but little snow; numerous lakes/camping areas; low property taxes; low crime rate; best schools in the state; relaxed environment; growing area which is part (half-hour away) of the number 1 retirement zone in the nation: Asheville, NC (but NC HAS a state income tax.) I targeted this area when I left NY State 25 years ago and have never regretted it.

I haven't picked it up yet but Googled whether it runs OK on Windows 7 64 bit and found peeps are having a lot of problems. Are you folks running on this platform; anything I need to know before I install it??

Have a GREAT birthday Fuzzy!!!!

Good luck ftumptch

Link showed up in first posts. Looks great Smelly; looking forward. Is this your first COD map or are you experienced at this? I've always wanted to make a map for my own use of the house/street I grew up. Just don't have time for a huge learning curve.

Couldn't find the video Smelly but given that it is intended to be an accurate repro. of a U.S. carrier, I suppose a titty bar would be out of the question?

SHIT Chile - it ended right before she popped the bra. What the hell is that???

System resources are limited and threads like this which serve no useful purpose needlessly consume server drive space and memory, thereby putting the entire web site at risk, a situation which could propagate and eventually take down the entire Internet. That is why I refuse to post on such threads. Further, I sayeth not.

Welcome Ice Lizard. Please remember to conduct yourself in an idiotic manner.

Amen

Don't know about Toothpick but I know for certain that Pedro's a bitch and proud of it.

Ph4nt0m has an accent? And Chile doesn't? Ey?

Bonjour mon ami and welcome to XI!!!

You're right Ted. They can wait us out. And they will.
