But yes, spill the beans, even the ending! Go ahead with the spoilers! I'll do my part: in Carlito's Way, at the end, the little punk Benny, mistreated by the protagonist in the first half of the film, spots him at the station, just before Carlito manages to escape, and shoots him in the back. The protagonist dies and with him the happy ending.

Madonna, what nostalgia for these absurd and crazy pages... we should bring back anonymous comments; we would always double over with laughter at Deb. Now it doesn’t happen anymore :(

sometimes they return...

it's the same, the game has flopped on all systems and it's deserted everywhere

It's dead because there are fewer than 500 people playing it worldwide... in Italy, there aren't even any servers; you have to connect to the UK with ping over 200. There are no rave reviews shouting "masterpiece," at best it’s referred to as a good game, and the average on Metacritic is telling. The only good thing about the game is the engine; otherwise, it's a bleak simplification of the UT gameplay, distinctly aimed at the console audience in this third installment. UT2004 is played ten times more than UT3, which says a lot.

no, he was dead and buried. But he wasn't even worth 20 sacks at launch.

Honestly, I’ve never really hung around house music, but if you want to dive deeper, for sure Roger Sanchez, Armand Van Helden, Deep Dish, Gavin Hardkiss, Murk, and Robbie Rivera are prominent DJs. Regarding the live @Amsterdam, if you’re talking about the one from 2000, I saw it—great "old times." Sessions 84-88 is very acid house, but I think there’s also some techno in there.

I know, I know... even 4 developers, of which 2 are external, Levine busy with Infinite, I felt it was going to hell... but the first one was really one of the first titles that justified "nextgen" for me. The kind of title you don't forget. And the sequel, half the length, with console porting graphics the same as the first but less inspired, no pipemania, a story that takes off in the last hour after 6 hours of boredom, no real nemesis (tell me, who, having reached the end, actually wants to kill her?), as challenging as a walk in the park (on hard level -_-)... improved gameplay and worthy endings, but disappointment on every other front. 50 cards thrown away, I don’t even want to talk about the multiplayer.

it ends abruptly because in the album all the tracks are connected, one starts with the end of another. Dance comes from the disco of the '70s, house itself is originally a derivative of dance, but today it is definitely a genre on its own. House also has origins in '80s funk, but technically there are significant differences in the meter and frequency (bpm). Unfortunately, nowadays Tiesto makes house, and his records have become unlistenable, at least for me. In live performances, it works, but it's a bit like watching Metallica, yes to the live show, but you would never buy one of their albums again.

go to the NPD website and browse; the data I mentioned is about a year old. And of course, it only pertains to the retail market; digital delivery isn’t counted but is becoming an increasingly larger slice of the pie, growing at an average rate of 120% every year (even though it still has a value of less than a billion dollars annually; by the end of the year it should be around 1.2 billion dollars). To clarify, the AAA titles that suffer the most from piracy are also the ones that sell the most (e.g. MW2, over a million pirated downloads, but over 20 million copies sold); if the title is of high quality, it will still sell. Piracy is particularly harmful when it comes to high-quality titles from smaller software houses, often offered at budget prices. That’s where the damage is severe, and unfortunately, there are people who pirate titles for 15 euros but buy titles for 60 euros. Similarly, the person who uploaded the pirated copy of Avatar online eight months ago didn't cause significant harm to the film industry, but those who upload films without major distributors behind them certainly contribute significantly to harming the art.
