  • Spent some time in a similar situation earlier this year in Aus. Wasn’t strip searched but they check everything you bring in, turn out your pockets and confiscated phone charging cables, shoe laces, belts and drawstrings from pants. Also not allowed to take bags onto the ward.

    It’s a safety measure for everyone’s sake: staff, patients and visitors. Its not necessarily that you would be a danger to others, as other patients stealing something and doing something dangerous.

    Don’t know about the US but there is no way the hospitals over here are buying body scanners with their shoestring budgets.






  • WoW, XBL and Eve are some examples

    Subscriptions to online vs offline games is the major difference from now and back then.

    I used to pay a subscription to play WoW and Eve because alot of the game runs on the game company’s hardware, which requires maintenance and upgrading periodically.

    Single player games that have no reason to connect to the internet other than for updates should not be locked into having a continuous connection to authentication servers and there is no reason to pay a continuing subscription for the game, other than the company’s greed.

    They should release decent DLC, expansions, etc if they want to keep milking the same title (or better yet, invest in some new IP instead of swapping franchises like trading cards)
