The Will Ferrell basketball movie.

If this movie had come out, say, 6 years ago, it might have been good. As it is, we've seen this movie several times already, and Will Ferrell playing this character, and yawn.

Also a lot of f-bombs for a PG-13. Like, 10 or so. And a lot of 'cocksuckers.'

Cool... so stop telling those of us angry about our old games getting obsoleted that we are wrong.

Loaded up Quake 2 a while back to try to play through it again, and it wouldn't run on XP. Same with Duke Nukem 3D. And Harpoon II. That's what I can only remember offhand. Yes, there's DOSBox, but the one time I tried it for 10 minutes I couldn't get it to work. Darn older games were just too adva...

I have to disagree with that. There is no alternative to being able to play all the games that are released. Apple has nowhere near the game selection Windows has. It is not an "identical but differentiated" product that can be considered an alternative. Edited By GORDON on 1205024949

Ha, I wish my C64 still worked. I still think about some of the games I played on that.

I guess I just don't have the anger over all of this because I have options. I could go with Linux or Apple if MS did something to piss me off enough. But I stick with MS because I know that all the apps I'll want are on that platform. But if you want a PC for gaming, then no, you don't really have...

They've done nothing new for us ever since except lock us into a forced upgrade cycle. I can't really be happy about that, even knowing I live in a capitalist society and they aren't a charity. Seems to me your issue isn't with Microsoft, but rather software developers that no longer write code for...

No argument there. I'd submit that the only upgrade that MS put out that DIDN'T suck (by comparison) was 98. 98 was nothing more than Windowns 95C, and even then it needed a major service pack in the form of 98SE to make it work right. And you couldn't even upgrade to SE, you needed to buy it all o...

I've seen a "patent kit" for sale on TV, but I always figured the fine print would make you share the patent with the patent-kit-company.
