Sonic fans aren't picky.  They buy every shitty game there is.  Lost fans have moved onto better things.

Don't buy it.  I just tried it out yesterday and it was horrible.  I was playing street fighter 4 on it and it didn't work out very well to be honest.  Considering its 3d output factor, it is actually below what I expected.  When looking at the screen, it actually makes you dizzy.

3.63, It has been a horrible semester for me overall.
 
Modern World Societies (A) - Overall, I liked this class.  Although I hated doing the group project.
 
Karate (A) - It was fun, but extremely gay.  When I mean gay, I mean the class was basically a collection of male homosexuality.  Men grabbing each other and what not before class. 
 


General Psychology (A) -  Even though each test was curved, most of the class still failed.  By the time we were on the last exam, I needed to get less than a -3 in order to fail and a 57 to get an A.  I have a feeling that I got above a 57.
 
Creative Writing (B+)-  I realized I was the next Shakespeare bitches. But I like the idea of being an investment banker.  SEC, prepare to write me one up.
 
General Chemistry (B+) - I wish god shot me by now.
 
International Economics and Finance (B) - I probably would have done better if I wasn't sick and didn't miss the essay due date.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/110056-Valve-Discusses-Charging-Customers-Based-on-Popularity

Or for those who hate the escapist.

"One of Gabe Newell's theoretical Steam payment methods would charge more for players that are awful people.

There are a few standard payment models for videogames today that include retail, monthly fees, and microtransactions. Valve boss Gabe Newell recently called these models "broken," revealing that the company is looking into new ways of charging customers based on the customers themselves.

In a lengthy interview with Develop, Newell said: "The industry has this broken model, which is one price for everyone. That's actually a bug, and it's something that we want to solve through our philosophy of how we create entertainment products."

Rather than pricing a product based purely on what that product is worth, Newell talks about pricing a product based on what the customer is worth as well. "Some people, when they join a server, a ton of people will run with them," Newell continued. "Other people, when they join a server, will cause others to leave."

"So, in practice, a really likable person in our community should get DotA 2 for free, because of past behavior in Team Fortress 2," Newell added. "Now, a real jerk that annoys everyone, they can still play, but a game is full price and they have to pay an extra hundred dollars if they want voice."

Newell also went over how Valve is already charging high-value customers "negative" amounts, such as those that were paid royalties for creating Team Fortress 2 items. "Their cost for Team Fortress 2 is negative $20,000 per week," he said. "You're never going to see that in a retail store ... It's people who make hats get paid. People who are really popular play for less, or free."

Could this be a method that actually reduces the number of people whose internet anonymity causes them to spout an endless number of obscenities and racially motivated comments just because they were gunned down by a sniper? It seems like it might. Not that internet jerks would disappear overnight, but money could be a strong motivator to make someone pat a fellow player on the back instead of tea-bagging him."


Anyways, isn't this discrimination?  I know there are some people out there who took the LSATs.

My dad hates video games.  I tried getting him to play but it is a no go.  My mom on the other hand is a different case.  She likes video games.

Only if you do massive training for it, but most people usually stick in the same scores.
