  1. uhh on A Smart Pillbox To Improve Medication Compliance · · Score: 1

    Unless a court has ordered it, you can't be forced to take your medicine. Pretty much all they can do is bad vibe you. This is a terrifying little idea because I could easily see the insurance companies lobbying for laws requiring that you take medication.......

  2. Fumito Ueda on Are These People Reshaping the Gaming Industry? · · Score: 1

    hahahahahaha
    these fucking idiots
    you cannot have a list like this and not include Fumito Ueda (TeamICO)
    he has literally pioneered the use of emotions, other than fear and anger, as the driving force to get you to play the game. not to mention being a graphic and level design genius

    this list is full of idiots maintaining the status quo
    "omg guy who invented final fantasy! omg guy from EA!"

    jesus christ

  3. gundam on Sci-Fi Tech We Could Have Right Now (For a Price) · · Score: 1

    seeing it recognized as a "Gundam" just made this nerd's day
    I thought of it right away before I clicked the link, and it came true!

  4. Re:ignorant on When Are Kids Old Enough to Play Videogames? · · Score: 1

    wow... you're the type of person I was talking about
    halo? hahaha
    please, play ico and shadow of the colossus (and understand them... almost no one does) and then come back and comment

  5. ignorant on When Are Kids Old Enough to Play Videogames? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If you are not sure about whether or not there are games equal to books yet, then you're an idiot and should stay out of the argument. Leave it to people who have played the games, and know what they're talking about.

  6. what the hell on Cloverfield Discussion · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can't quite figure out if not only the submitter, but everyone commenting is being paid to hype this.
    HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY ANALYZE A MOVIE MADE IN THE LAST 25 YEARS
    THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING GOOD
    NOTHING

    you want to see a movie, get a netflix account and grab stuff by tarkovsky, lang, kurosawa, godard, herzog.... SOMEONE WITH REAL TALENT

    but don't act like you're some sort of intellectual because you're analyzing a fucking godzilla knockoff made in 2008 you fucking tools

  7. thank god on Jade Empire 2 in the Works · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    maybe that will save them because mass effect was atrocious, worthless graphics, boring dialogue, very few good/bad situations, been-there-done-that sci fi plot, and extreme repetition

    but then again if they take what they "learned" (not always a good thing) and apply it to this game too, it's ruined

  8. hah on Only 2 in 500 College Students Believe in IP · · Score: 0, Troll

    as if there is some sort of basic right and wrong
    I download music and movies because I hope to one day witness the entire industry come crashing down... but along the way I'd still like to hear and see what's going on

    what I'm doing happens to be perfectly in the right, for me
    but then again im completely crazy

  9. ugh on What Is Your Game of the Year? · · Score: 1

    I'm tired of hearing people talk about Mario Galaxy as if it did something new. Not only was Sonic messing around with gravity in the Genesis days, the entire concept of mini planetoids with their own gravity that you can walk around was the basis for like... 3 levels in Sonic Adventure 2.

    Stop acting like it's new, Nintendo is out of ideas. They're just lucky that they're amazing at whatever they put their tired minds to.

  10. Re:WHAT?! on More Than Half of the US Plays Videogames · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    yeah uh... not all games are FPSs fool how about you take a look into some other genres
    I dont think we should use the term "hardcore gamers" for people with tunnel vision when it comes to what games they will play

    it should only apply to the crazies like me, who will play nearly anything as long as its not yet another jap RPG

  11. Re:Super Mario Galaxy - Individual planetary gravi on This Year's Top Game Design Innovations · · Score: 1

    yeah uh, in case you didn't know, mario galaxy is just an expanded version of a couple of levels from sonic adventure 2
    the only good levels in the game really, but it's been done correctly before

  12. Re:I can wait on LittleBigPlanet Demo Not Coming This Year · · Score: 1

    yeah uh because there are games that come out for consoles.... that arent on pc
    OH MY GOD

  13. what the fuck on Dvorak Slams OLPC As 'Naive Fiasco' · · Score: 1

    how many times does it have to be said the xo is not for the starving children with flies on their faces ITS FOR THE COMMUNITIES THAT MIGHT HAVE LIKE... POWER, AND SOME BASIC NECESSITIES OR MAYBE EVEN FUCKING MISSISSIPPI YOU IDIOTS ugh people that spread these lies need to die, seriously maybe of starvation

  14. Re:linearity in galaxies on Sneaking Stories Past Miyamoto · · Score: 0, Troll

    oh shut up maturity has nothing to do with it, and in fact i have a better word: fanboyism
    linearity was always mario's issue and is one of many reasons why the old sonic games were better

    i was so glad to find mario 64 and sunshine had true exploration in them, i played both for probably a grand total of 6000 bazillion years... mario galaxy is a depressing mindless return to the old boring mario style, and the worst part is people like you who go "man this is even better" only a few years after saying the same thing about mario 64

    insufferable fanboys

  15. Re:well that's funny on Rowling Sues Harry Potter Lexicon · · Score: 1

    hmm ok but then why do I own like 3 books on harry potter that aren't by her?

  16. well that's funny on Rowling Sues Harry Potter Lexicon · · Score: 5, Interesting

    the first thing I see on the main page is a quote from JKR:
    "This is such a great site...my natural home." - JK Rowling
    I assume this is a lawyer thing

  17. please don't on Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI · · Score: 2, Interesting

    this is a bad idea for 2 reasons:
    1) those who use it for real/business reasons will have to completely relearn the interface
    2) it will make it easier for untalented idiots to post their bullshit "art" all over the internet

  18. we'll see on Bid On A Role in Fable 2 For Child's Play · · Score: 1

    how can we be sure this isn't yet ANOTHER promise they can't keep?

  19. Re:When will Europe learn? on Germany Seeks Expansion of Computer Spying · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    as always I have no mod points when I need them

  20. thanks on The Real Mother of All Bombs, 46 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    and with that lovely thought, I go to bed
    to dream dreams of nuclear holocaust

  21. jesus h christ on Leopard Upgraders Getting "Blue Screen of Death" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    people are so fucking stupid
    "oh no this 3rd party application which adds dubious and useless enhancements to my system is causing my computer to not work upon upgrading to a completely new version!"
    bust out the slashdot article I guess

  22. Re:Ug on Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan Takes A Bow · · Score: 1

    No, she actually spelled it wrong.... verbally

  23. cool on MySpace Makes Plans for Online Gaming Channel · · Score: 2, Funny

    now I can play chess against 12 year olds and beat the hell out of them
    this'll be great for my self esteem

  24. ah it all makes sense now on Brazilian Pop Music Scene Thrives on Piracy · · Score: 1

    i talk regularly in chatrooms on the p2p program soulseek. Soulseek has a massive south american userbase and I have discovered so many cool bands thanks to their members sitting in chatrooms and telling people to download their stuff

    just think about how fast popularity can spread if it's not linked to monetary value

  25. did they even hear what they were saying? on Bill Gates Denied Visa To Nigeria · · Score: 5, Funny

    who could possibly want to stay in nigeria indefinitely?
