That sounds like a troll comment to me ... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TROLLING IN TROLLTALK!
This sid is meant to be a place for like minded people to drink late's and read poetry, so please keep this in mind the next time you post.

Me? I've been busy at work - what are you all doing. So where do all you trolls hang out these days ... reddit? - if so, what subreddit. I miss the old trolling days!

Agree - it only takes a single fuckup for people to lose control of their data (whether running an application or phishing scam). Though it is a concern that everyone has these accounts linked.

I am currently using Myspace and it fullfills all my social needs (apart from trolltalk of course - LOL )
So who is going to get onto Google Plus, and more importantly - what sort of circles will you create? Here are some tips....
"Slashdot trolls I never want to meet in real life"
"Slashdot trolls I hope to have sex with" (for slashpanda)
"People who like Cracky chan"
"People who like Mercatur"
"Bees"

So how does everyone get their trolling fix these days since slashdot cleaned us mostly out (and trolltalk was spammed by slushpanda)
Post on reddit? which sub?
Oh, and if the only person on here is slashpanda - then I guess I am wasting my breath, as he is so gay he probably will direct me to justin beebers site.

I concur. And well done on getting the first post.
It now takes 3-5 seconds to 'preview' a one line text post, so my days of first posting are clearly numbered! Maybe that was the intent?

Dr. Alan Hirsch, Director of Chicago's Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Center, says the key to a man's heart, and other parts, is pumpkin pie. Out of the 40 odors tested in Hirsch's study, a mixture of lavender and pumpkin pie got the biggest rise out of men ages 18 to 64. That particular fragrance was found to increase penile blood flow by an average of 40%. "Maybe the odors acted to reduce anxiety. By reducing anxiety, it acted to remove inhibitions," said Hirsch.

itwbennett writes "British pizza chain Pizza Express is installing iPod docks and soundproof domes in booths of their new iPizzeria stores. 'The idea is that you can plug in your iPod and play whatever music you like without disturbing other diners,' says blogger Peter Smith. 'But I'm sure it'd work for talking about government secrets and other spy stuff, too.'"

sinij writes "An EA insider has aired dirty laundry over what went wrong with Warhammer and what could this mean for the upcoming Bioware Star Wars MMORPG. Quoting: 'We shouldn't have released when we did, everyone knows it. The game wasn't done, but EA gave us a deadline and threatened the leaders of Mythic with pink slips. We slipped so many times, it had to go out. We sold more than a million boxes, and only had 300k subs a month later. Going down ever since. It's 'stable' now, but guess what? Even Dark Age and Ultima have more subs than we have. How great is that? Games almost a decade [old] make more money than our biggest project."
The (unverified) insider, who calls himself EA Louse (named after the EA Spouse who brought to light the company's excessive crunchtime practices) says similar trouble is ahead for the development of Star Wars: The Old Republic. EA has not commented yet. God of War creator David Jaffe has criticized the insider for having unrealistic expectations of working in the games industry.

from the how-will-they-play-starcon-2-in-2150 dept.
The Opposable Thumbs blog has an interview with Jerome McDonough of the University of Illinois, who is involved with the Preserving Virtual Worlds project. The goal of the project is to recognize video games as cultural artifacts and to make sure they're accessible by future generations. Here McDonough talks about some of the technical difficulties in doing so:
"Take, for example, Star Raiders on the Atari 2600. If you're going to preserve this, you've got a couple of problems. The first is that it is on a cartridge that is designed to work on a particular system that is no longer manufactured. And as long as you've got a hardware dependency there, you're really not going to be able to preserve this material very long. What we have been looking at is how feasible is it for things that fundamentally all have some level of hardware dependency there — even Doom has dependencies on DLLs with an operating system, and on particular chipsets and architectures for playing. How do you take that and turn it into something that isn't as dependent on a particular physical piece of hardware. And to do that, you need information about that platform. You need technical specifications that allow you to basically reproduce a virtualization that may enable you to run the software in its original form in the future. So what we're trying to do is preserve not only the games, but preserve the knowledge that you would need to create a virtualization platform to play the game."

from the guess-it's-ready dept.
Blizzard announced today that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, the first game in a series of three, will be released on July 27. The game will contain the Terran campaign (29 missions), the full multiplayer experience, and "several challenge-mode mini-games," with "focused goals designed to ease players into the basics of multiplayer strategies." It will launch alongside the revamped Battle.net, which we've previously discussed. Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said, "We've been looking forward to revisiting the StarCraft universe for many years, and we're excited that the time for that is almost here. Thanks to our beta testers, we're making great progress on the final stages of development, and we'll be ready to welcome players all over the world to StarCraft II and the new Battle.net in just a few months."

Stoobalou writes with this excerpt from Thinq.co.uk: "A new study has shown that brain training games do little to exercise the grey matter. Millions of people who have been prodding away at their Nintendo DS portable consoles, smug in the knowledge that they are giving their brains a proper work-out, might have to rethink how they are going to stop the contents of their skulls turning into mush."

●Hi everybody - I'm just fucking around speaking what's on my mind, and making shit up - It's basically a way of talking shit , having it recorded so I can look back and laugh, without it being incriminating against me in 10 years time when I'm some fucking high flying wanker in a suit.
I hope I dont offend anyone (toooo much), but if I do , ... well .... tough shit.
