Also, it has been established that the school has a ridiculously huge budget but that they just mismanage the heck out of it. You should learn half the stuff Sue has.
For example, the kids have all of their costumes now (presumably for the rest of the show) because the principle cut Sue's laundry budget.
How was the laundry budget so much? Because Sue was having her cheerleaders' clothes shipped to Europe to be steam cleaned after each performance. -
I'm really not sure how we're letting such an important topic fall to the wayside.

I'm a big fan of RHPS. Not a fan of Glee -- I hate every character in the cast.
Saw the Glee episode, though. The songs were okay. Kudos to the girl who played Frankenfurter, as she really worked her pipes and made that song her own. That's the only song that I wouldn't mind having a copy of in the Glee version.
Everything in the episode that wasn't sung was crap, IMHO...but I'm not here to fight with the gleeks.

Clock King... Please.
Edit: Oh, and I was dead wrong when I said it was confirmed that the Riddler would be the next villain, apparently. -

I was in the PC gaming camp was dead and then came Steam.
Here's this little application that lets me buys games, handles the installation, if I uninstall I can reinstall, and they have super crazy sales.
And when my mom visits she can't deduce how much money I've spent and time I've wasted on gaming.
It's madness. MADNESS! -

Fine, I'm done. I've expressed my point and used numbers to back it up. Please, continue to believe that PC gaming is the bright, vibrant beast that it once was and has no issues whatsoever affecting it.
*walks out of thread*
Even if it's not doing as well, that doesn't prove it's dying. Another platform doing better doesn't prove it's dying. Anecdotal evidence doesn't prove it's dying. -

Can you tell me with a straight face that PC gaming is at all healthy right now? As compared with the consoles?
That's not what this topic is about. Every time I point that out, you proceed to take it further from topic.
The point the original article and I make is that it is doing well enough to continue to still have developers make games for it.
Not which one you like more. Not which one is doing better.
People go on and on about the console "Wars", but as long as everyone's turning a profit, everyone's winning. More than one people can capture the flag in this version. -
Quote:Everyone thinks that it's so dramatically romantic that he grabbed Emma's arm, pulled in close, and said "I don't care that you have a boyfriend; I will never quit courting you"*. I found it a foundation for him alternating as a villain later in the show.Originally Posted by BafflingBeerMan
My big problem with the episode is the reason why Will put it on in the first place. I hate it when the make Will to be this stalker and make Emma some prize he has to win.
With any wisdom,they'll take fan feedback and have an episode where he gets his, like they did with Kurt "I only wanted to molest him" Hummel.
*Yes, he really did that. -

Dark_One, you have to consider that you are one of the heathens who doesn't use Steam, and Steam is a big part of PC gaming now.
I love Steam. I drink from its cup. -
Quote:1) No denied that people were moving away from PC Gaming. You're the only one that's arguing that. Which is exactly what a Strawman is.Originally Posted by Dark One
No, actually it isn't a strawman. It's a legitimate argument of why people are moving away from PC gaming.
2) The point is PC Gaming isn't dead.
3) Also the point is that Doom Criers like to say the world is ending don't present proof.
4) Present proof that these changes are directly connected with the PC industry not profiting enough to be viable. -
Quote:Strawman. Absolutely none of this has to do with whether the PC is a viable system for gaming, which is the secondary topic of this thread (the primary being how inaccurate doom criers can be).Originally Posted by Dark One
Mass Effect 1 - 5 activations, SecuROM presence, online activation
Left For Dead - Valve game requiring Steam which is DRM
Fallout 3 - SecuROM but it is removable
And tell me, why would I play most of those games on a PC when there is the much, much simpler method of "Insert Disc" for a console? Rather than having to deal with Error Message XR2892B-Q for the hundredth time. The exceptions being those that support extensive modding like Fallout 3.
And for the record: I have a PS3, Xbox 360, DS lite, and Wii in my house. I haven't been interested in any of them and game almost exclusively on my PC. My reasons, again, are irrelevant to this thread. I'm just saying that the reasons you presented don't drive everyone away.

You can spoil this much: How much of my guess about its execution was accurate? -

Check that out. That's awesome. -

Article here.
In that link: Kotaku produces links spanning literally the entire decade, each an insightful and brilliant article about how PC gaming is dying. It seems each article is determined to prove that the industry is dying.
For ten years.
I think this pretty well encapsulates my thoughts on doom criers.

This is a man blowing bubbles.
What's that? It's off-topic? Huh. To bring it on topic, you'll need to post what the topic is.

That's what I thought.

Quote:Throw it through the screen. End the show tunes.Originally Posted by Ironik
Part of it is that people have woken up to the fact that Glee has become a pretentious, preachy, over-exposed, no-fun waste of time and that there are only two decent singers on the show who have extraordinarily limited ranges of songs they're good at.
Other than that, I don't know.

I fail to see your point with this. If you go to the globe it's pretty much how it sounds. Still unintelligible for the most part really.
So I posted it. That's the beginning, end, and movie tie-in of it.
