| bkerensa | c_smith: The problem is Microsoft, Nintendo and Playstation want to keep their networks and game servers seperate | 02:23 |
| bkerensa | Everyone is asleep at 1:31am in here :P | 08:31 |
| bkerensa | #OSU-Lug is still rocking :P | 08:31 |
| Oregonian | bkerensa: Error: "OSU-Lug" is not a valid command. | 08:31 |
| tgm4883 | bkerensa, thats not it | 16:44 |
| tgm4883 | I mean, they do want to keep their servers separate, and why that is a single reason it isn't something that can't be worked around | 16:45 |
| tgm4883 | The issue is that nobody wants to pay online to play a game such as MW3 (or any FPS) | 16:46 |
| tgm4883 | WoW gets away with it since it's so immersive | 16:46 |
| tgm4883 | the games aren't usually hosted on any sort of dedicated server for console gaming. It's usually hosted directly from one of the consoles | 16:47 |
| tgm4883 | If the game creator wanted to, they could host the server and allow cross platform gaming | 16:47 |
| tgm4883 | but that costs money | 16:48 |
| tgm4883 | the other way would be to somehow merge the three services (wii, psn, xbox live) | 16:49 |
| tgm4883 | or at least allow connectivity between them | 16:49 |
| tgm4883 | Not sure if that would introduce too much lag though | 16:49 |
| c_smith | yello | 18:10 |
| MarkDude | hello c_smith | 18:21 |
| * MarkDude is currently pondering how much he does not like Dora the Explora | 18:21 | |
| * MarkDude is watching niece now | 18:21 | |
| MarkDude | Oregon bot needs this learned >>> alis volat propriis | 19:14 |
| MarkDude | The official English version of the motto is "She Flies With Her Own Wings," | 19:18 |
| bkerensa | tgm4883: What???? People dont want to pay to play MW3 online? | 19:25 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 19:25 |
| bkerensa | MW3 is going to be the best selling game of 2011 and likely 2012.... With DLC and XBL fees were talking hundreds a year just to play it | 19:25 |
| * bkerensa pays $59 a year or whatever for XBL and the I will likely get Call of Duty XP which is another $59 for all DLC | 19:26 | |
| c_smith | meh, just got back | 20:06 |
| c_smith | if you pay for internet connectivity in console games, I laugh at you, the Wii (and PS3 too, I believe, but not sure on that one) has internet connectivity like XBL FREE!!! | 20:09 |
| c_smith | but you still have to pay for DLC. | 20:09 |
