Illinois Gaming Bill Proceeds in Game News Stardock Forums

The Illinois bill to ban the sale of video games to minors has proceeded one step further. CNN/Money reports that the State's House passed the bill on a 106-6 vote, with the Senate passing the bill earlier this month. The bill now moves to Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich, who will almost certainly pass it since he proposed the ban late last year. So what does this mean for gamers? The bottom line is this legislation is aimed more at retailers

If I use a crowbar to steal something does the crowbar maker get arrested? Of course not, so they should stop attacking P2P makers, I think this take down was a good one.

Reply to What's the OS running Xbox 360? in Game Developers Stardock Forums

As for the Gameboy OS I am pretty sure that Nintendo has just used the samething since Gameboy started wayyyyyy back, just kept updating it like MS is updating the Xbox OS. In this case, yea I guess MS did save some money by stripping down Win2k but do you really think any other Nintendo or Sony would ever fork over a lil extra cash to MS for a nicely designed Windows CE or something when they could do it themselves? If I am no mistaken SEGA Dreamcas

I strongly believe thats it due to consoles being so easy to setup and play. Plug a few wires in and you're off, thats just simply why there are more console players than PC players. No OS to worry about, no viruses, spyware, etc, but of course you can't get as high res as a nice monitor but then you are talking a sum of $ to play games where a console won't cost you more than $300 this generation. :/

Oh and thomassen you were getting hit by one of the numerous RPC virus that are out there. Simple Windows Update will fix that problem but since you gotta be online to do that and you'll get hit again if you are online the best thing to do is just download the stand alone patch, disconnect (pull out ethernet cord if you have to) and then update, then go back online and finish the rest of the updates.

I think far too many people don't realize that if they just spend some time using their machines and understanding them then they wouldn't need to "abuse their friendships" or waste actual money getting it fixed all the time. A few simple things and about 30minutes a week can keep your system up to date which will help it stay clean. Of course then there is the problem of those blasted kids always doing crazy crap, but I guess thats there job, keep p

Although I didn't get to see these games in action I was able to grab all the media that was released. I am also anticipating some RoL and Ages III and what Nival can do for the Heroes series but what am I scared of? Well unfortunaly as you stated all the PC games were pushed to the back, but another scary thing is that a descent amount of games that were shown will probably hit the PC but are hardly ever advertised as going to the PC. Numerous cons
