    No, that was for missile command.

  2. Shame the ground game sucks. on 'Weekly Episodes' Coming To Star Trek Online · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Space game was great but the ground game was shallow, boring and not fun (it was like playing CoH without the superpowers). Too bad I had such high hopes for it. If they can fix the ground game up I would probably purchase a lifetime sub.

    Maybe if a game studio other than cryptic had made it it would have been awesome.

    Disclaimer: I know some people like all aspects, I personally could not get into the away mission part of the game. I absolutely loved the space part though.

    Cool or not, you use violence on a person they have a right to defend themselves in kind. If I'm defending myself against a larger adversary I would use whatever I had at my disposal to ensure they go down and stay down.

    The antagonists reproductive organs are irrelevant. Maybe next time they will think twice before acting like a total douche mobile.

    Three minutes of ball kicking is nothing compared to the physical and mental abuse these kids put up with. Try putting up with having shit dumped on you constantly for months or years at a time and tell me you wouldn't snap.

    At least for that guy it only lasted a few minutes, the pain a few days. People who are bullied have to live with the consequences for the rest of their lives.

    No, very fucking cool. It's what those fuckers deserve. If you pick on those smaller or weaker when you get your balls mashed you deserve it. If you don't want to risk your balls don't pick on those who have no choice but to resort to ball breaking.

    True, but that's what virus scanners are for (and Firefox/noscript etc).

    And virtual machine sandboxes.

    You could copy the data to USB with the licensed profile.(they will work on any xbox with licensed profile.) Put that away in case of disaster. You can even recover your profile right away and continue to use as is. Later on when disaster strikes if you can obtain another console reset to factory and plug in the USB. Playable games.

  9. Re:Sounds familiar. on Mom Arrested After Son Makes Dry Ice "Bombs" · · Score: 1

    But, terrifingly, such a concept didn't even make it out of the internet muckraking circles. And that's why we have this problem, because people think the ends justify the means.

    This is the problem, the people in power don't have a fucking clue.

    My kingdom for a mod point.

    Stereoscopic vision is gained by the age of six or not at all. Six years old is the cut off for stereoscopic development. I'm guessing you had no ill effects because you were over the age of seven.

    Stereoscopic vision is gained by the age of six or not at all. Six years old is the cut off for stereoscopic development. I would say a not for use under the age of seven to be sure.

    Prototype, assassins creed and Darksiders are three good ones off the top of my head. Ok, yes there is shooting in prototype but to be fair you don't actually have to use the guns.

    Such as 3D TVs. 3D is here to stay and you will eventually be using it.

    Except the 10% of people with impaired or no vision in one eye. There would be absolutely no point for them.

  22. Re:Has anyone considered... on Struggling To Bridge the Casual-Hardcore Game Gap · · Score: 1

    Depends on the release of wii 2. Release it too early and casuals won't buy it because they will perceive the wii to be "enough" for them, and/or will fail to see the value of wii 2 due to being part of the casual segment of the market who already owns a game console.
