  1. Re:I wonder how long until it "accidentally" leaks on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Already have it in my utorrent queue!

    It will be interesting to see how long before we see the un-fucked-with version released.

    I dunno, I kinda think this was done a while ago by El Goonish Shive...

  3. Re:They're called digital cameras on Polaroid Lovers Try To Revive Its Instant Film · · Score: 5, Funny

    also, keep in mind that you may need a physical photograph that is instantly available in case you need to write something important on it that you might forget because you have a memory condition.

    Did i tell you about my memory condition?

    They could still do it through wireless. The keys emit a signal that can be picked up no matter what connection the keyboard has to the computer.

    For all you paranoid conspiracy theorists out there that are busy shitting bricks, I will be developing a USB based jamming device that will saturate the area with dummy signals. Please send $100 via brown paper bag on doorstep courier.

  6. Re:A human like AI... on A Look At the AI of Empire: Total War and F.E.A.R. 2 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, I can see a more human-like AI bunnyhoping towards you as you try to kill it, shooting you in the face with a shotgun, and then sending a message saying "pwnd b1tch."

    At this point, the humanity and sophistication of AI will have reached truly awesome heights, and gaming will be all the better for it.

  7. Re:Game version of Phun? on Crayon Physics Combines Science and Puzzles · · Score: 1

    Yep, I was playing around with Phun at least a year ago. Why's this so special again?

  8. Re:$400 a month? on Switching To Solar Power — Six Months Later · · Score: 1

    Thankyou! I live on Maui and get billed up the ass for electricity, with electric bills through the roof. Usually we get billed $300-400 a month for our 4 person family, with most of the energy going to water heating and laundry machines, and not much is wasted since we don't have a TV and only have one desktop currently operational. We live in a small house, and have no AC either. It still costs that much a month, mostly because our only choice for energy here is Maui Electric. They charge what they want, and have been known to raise their rates without notification, much to our (unhappy) surprise when the bill arrives.

    I dunno about you guys but that is the kinda office i want to work at. COD matches a few times a week ftw! "Damnit Tuna, you never use the sniper rifle at Carentan!"

  11. Re:The same guy who invented the Super Soaker? on Super Soaker Inventor Hopes to Double Solar Efficiency · · Score: 5, Funny

    And, also like Super Soakers, this will spend all its time outside in the sun, and the colors will thankfully fade -but only on one side.

  12. But... on US Consumers Clueless About Online Tracking · · Score: 2, Funny

    But I can just change my browser options to "don't save filled forms" and all the stuff I search for on Google isn't saved right?

    Nobody could ever get that information.

  13. Just have to look... on Games All Downhill Since Pong? · · Score: 1

    You just gotta look past the titles. Ive been content playing the Forgotten Hope mod for the battlefield 1942 engine for a while now, and it will soon have a version out for Battlefield 2, which will be nice to swap between with something like Project Reality. There are people out there who actually care about gameplay more than what the annoying lowest common denominator wants. Sure the graphics arent quite as good as say Crysis, but it looks good enough, and with 64 players, these games can be intense.

    Some BF2 mods for those who havent looked:
    WWII as it's meant to be played (coming soon)...
    http://forgottenhope.filefront.com/main.php?module=&lang=english&flash=yes&mod=

    Intense, team-based, and tactical (available)...

    Hmmm... Im thinking fancy little window wipers like certain upscale cars use on their headlights... These rovers have been surprisingly robust. Wheres the people who say America makes cheap vehicles now?

  15. Re:What about TV on Neilsen Introduces New Way To Measure Gamer Metrics · · Score: 1

    Now I suppose all we need is for someone to jump that last remaining gap and start implanting subliminal messages that prompt us to choose the "better" form of entertainment?

    (inside head)

    "your playing to much BF2...you want to watch American Idol..."

    'But no, I dont'

    "yes you do, studies show more people are watching Idol right now"

    'still, I do-'

    "WATCH"

    (a splitting headache ensues, guy goes to get a drink of water, and decides to watch TV...)
