    GET YOUR ASS TO MARS

  3. Great... on Velociraptor Had Feathers · · Score: 1

    There go all my childhood fantasies. Instead of being scary, they ran around looking like Liberace.

    "GRR! Don't I look FABULOUS?!"

  4. WOOSH! on Wii Zapper To Have Zelda Pack-In Title · · Score: 0

    Uh, they're releasing a Zapper add-on, and they're NOT including an updated version of Duck Hunt? Way to miss the boat, Nintendo!

  5. Sweet! on Beijing Police To Launch Animated Web Patrols · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bonzi Buddy got a new job!

  6. Re:Silent Hill 4 on Videogames Make Better Horror Than Movies? · · Score: 1

    I'm also casting my vote for Eternal Darkness. Excellent game. It did an amazing job with wearing down your nerves in time to punch you in the gut with something that makes you wish you had put plastic on your couch. Of particular note is when you 'see' yourself in the bathtub having slashed your own wrists. I knew someone had to have brought up Eternal Darkness. Hands down the scariest and most immersive game I've ever played. Where's my sequel already, Silicon Knights???
  7. Re:Difference from MPAA? on Manhunt 2 Ready For Release, Politicians Angered · · Score: 5, Funny

    I am not a US citizen, and don't know how MPAA or its rating system works. I am a US citizen, and I don't either.

    And the right has an entire channel of the same thing. What's your point?

    It's getting cloudy. You wouldn't like me when it's cloudy.

  10. Re:Thuuurs ur problem! on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 5, Funny

    Guess they'll have to recall that tentacle rape simulator too...

  11. Re:What's the Motive? on Paramount to Drop Blu-Ray for HD-DVD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have to ask myself, what's the motive a studio would have with going toward HD DVD technology vs. Blu-Ray?

    Actually, there's a decent examination of the possible reasons for the choice over at Fat Harry's Bullshit Emporium and Discount Taxidermist.
  12. Re:Yeah, right. on Paramount to Drop Blu-Ray for HD-DVD · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I love the smell of burning blu-ray in the morning. Smells like...victory.

  13. Re:hmmmm... on Voyager Spacecraft Celebrate 30th Anniversary · · Score: 5, Funny

    The first post is a Star Trek reference, but NOT one about V'Ger? Your nerd license is hereby revoked, pwizard2, and may the gods have mercy on your soul.

  14. Re:Tasmanian Outflow vs. North Atlantic Current on Super Pathway Discovered In Southern Ocean · · Score: 1

    Why oh why don't we have a "criticaldesalinizationpoint" tag when we need it?

  15. Re:Questions of feedstock on Echeria Coli Co-Opted To Make Gasoline · · Score: 1

    While this solves the problem with using non-renewable petroleum, we'd still be burning gasoline and pumping out CO2...

  16. Re:This is not news. on The Postal Movie is Really Bad · · Score: 1

    Be careful badmouthing him on the internet. He may just beat the shit out of you.

  17. Re:I am thinkink.... on 3 Ton Meteorite Stolen · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, obviously the rock was made of kryptonite, which leads to one prime (bald) suspect...

  18. Re:Irony on CA Game Bill Struck Down, Governor Vows Appeal · · Score: 1

    Exactly right, my good man. I grew up on Super Mario Brothers, and now I eat mushrooms and save princesses all the time.

  19. Re:Relative to Income on Microsoft Cuts Vista Price To $66 In China · · Score: 3, Funny

    What, so they can run it on their $199 PCs?

  20. Re:KDE Four Live CD on KDE 4.0 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll wait until it's been integrated with Kubuntu 12.04 (Octagonal Ocelot), thankyouverymuch.

  21. Re:Apple might not be wrong on Broken Patent System? Google, Apple Disagree · · Score: 1

    That's easy for them to say when they got into the game early and established a metric fuckton of patents.

  22. I knew it! on Second Life & WoW Terrorist Training Camps? · · Score: 1

    I just knew there was something fishy about that bukkake garden!

    Yeah - they're not poor until after they buy the PS3.

  25. Re:No... on Are Cheap Laptops a Roadblock for Moore's Law? · · Score: 1

    I recently took 10+ hours of DV video and edited it together into an hour-long DVD using only F/OSS software. My machine is nowhere near top-of-the-line (1.4GHz Sempron, 1G RAM, Ubuntu 7.04), but aside from the enormous storage requirements, the only problem I ran into was the 2+ hours it would take to turn an hour of DV footage into an MPEG2. Would a much faster computer have helped? Sure, but only with the rendering portion of the process. For the actual editing, my old Frankenbox worked just fine.
