  1. Re:And to think. . . on Online Colleges Could Spy On Students – By Law · · Score: 1

    You are under a woeful misconception then, sir.

  2. Re:PS3 and Linux on Penny Arcade Adventures To Appear On PS3 · · Score: 1

    Nope, usually games go PC -> Console -> Linux (if you're lucky) -> Mac (if you're really lucky).

  3. Re:Fable 2 on Putting Fable II Through Its Paces · · Score: 4, Funny

    My monkey wouldn't stop pooping in the villagers food supply, it ate half a village before it learned that villagers != food (they're for sacrificing you foolish monkey).

    The first time my creature pooped, I picked the feces up and handed it to him. While examining his droppings, I began to rub his stomach, enticing him into eating it. He did. Immediately afterward, he vomited. He never pooped again.

  4. Hmmm... on Browser-Based "Quake Live" Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    It's a neat idea, especially since it looks to add-in a lot of Team Arena's functionality. However, I still have the actual game installed and always will. The "Generations Arena" mod is just about as good as gaming gets.

  5. Re:Budweiser with Lime on Global Warming Stopped By Adding Lime To Sea · · Score: 1

    And here I thought they were just trying to mask the disgusting taste of their cheap-ass beer!

  6. Re:I gotta get into military contracting. on USAF Counter-Terror Funds Buy "Comfort Capsules" · · Score: 1

    It's going to take you a couple of thousand dollars just to paint some patriotic crap down the side of several RVs? I think you could cut that expensive down and pocket even more cash for yourself!

  7. Re:Where do I find these? on Ubisoft Steals 'No-CD Crack' To Fix Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't usually have any trouble with viruses when downloading from www.megagames.com or www.gamecopyworld.com. Still, I always scan the files first, and I'd suggest that anyone else do the same. Torrents are probably a pretty good place to look nowadays as well. Find the pirated game, but only download the crack. ;)

  8. Re:This is Stupid on Social Networking Sites Becoming Useful For Lawyers · · Score: 1

    No, this is how it should have been in the first place. Should I really have sympathy for some stupid frat boy who can't do anything but binge drink? Fuck no. It's pretty easy to not drink and drive, yet this guy was too stupid to avoid it. He should have had the book thrown at him to begin with. Thinking that some jackass frat boy could have somehow felt bad about the situation and been given a smaller sentence in the first place was the screw up. People like that don't need prison, they need executed.

  9. Re:So... on Ubisoft Steals 'No-CD Crack' To Fix Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I use no CD cracks on all of my legally bought games. Having to put discs in and take them out is kind of cumbersome when I have them all safely stored in a metal CD binder. If I wanted to switch through game discs all day I'd play my console instead.

  10. Re:Then we'd need to train a bunch of people... on You, Too, Could Be Batman In 10 To 12 Years · · Score: 1

    No, I'm Spartacus!

  11. Why Just Homebrew? on World's First Custom Firmware For Wii Released · · Score: 1

    Why limit piracy? Nintendo hates it all the same, so why limit the possible applications of said firmware?

    Videogames are too expensive to purchase often. :P

  12. Good... on Firefox 3.0.1 Fixes 'Carpet Bombing' Issue · · Score: 1

    Now fix the Awesome Bar so that I can revert back to the way address bars should work!

  13. Re:Core on Xbox 360 20 GB Price Cut "While Supplies Last" · · Score: 1

    Resident Evil 4 does suck on the PC, but largely because it was a horribly cheap port that doesn't actually support the mouse in the manner it should. Overall, Resident Evil 4 was a pretty good experience on the GameCube and Wii, despite being dumbed down from previous installments (no risk of running low on ammo, no puzzles to solve, etc).

    I can't say anything about Metroid Prime, as I don't play first person shooters on consoles. Gamepads just don't work for that genre, period.

    Halo, as you mention, is crap regardless. If you can stomach console controls and have never played any FPS before in your life, then perhaps you could find it entertaining. Overall however, it was ugly and uninteresting at best.

    Let's be fair though. The PC side of things hasn't been very good lately either. I think the last truly fun FPS I played was Unreal Tournament 2004. This decline in quality does tie in heavily with the fact that most games are planned to be released on consoles as well. Sad.

  14. Re:Morally outrageous on The Cats Into Hats · · Score: 1

    I do think that the statement (and action) is definitely in poor taste, however, it is the pet "owner's" responsibility to make sure that their animal is not running about loose.

  15. Re:How about *asking* the user if they want to sha on Data Harvesting From a Developer's Perspective · · Score: 4, Funny

    I like it when my quotes are used out of context!

    There, fixed that for you.

  16. Re:The most likely reason on Why Do We Have To Restart Routers? · · Score: 1

    Even before installing after market firmware, I never had to restart my WRT54G. If you have to restart your router every few days, I'd wager that something in is simply wrong, whether it be the setup or the user.

  17. Re:Tales of Brave Ulysses on Ulysses Spacecraft Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Always hard to beat The Cream!

    On a related note, give Symphony X's "The Odyssey" a listen. It's a true rock opera.

  18. Of Course Ulysses' Not Dead! on Ulysses Spacecraft Not Dead Yet · · Score: 4, Funny

    It'll probably return after twenty years or so, Poseidon be damned!

  19. Re:Mark Wahlberg? Ewww! on First Max Payne Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming that was just a hallucination from Valkyr and any such metaphors that do show up (visual or other) will not tie together in any meaningful way. I may be surprised however.

  20. How About the Video Rental Machines at Kroger? on The Very Worst Uses of Windows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    These things started showing up in the Krogers around here about one or two years ago. They're sort of like soda dispensing machines, but you rent DVD films from them instead. You run through a selection of video case covers via the touchscreen (which lead to a description of the film if need be) before making your selection and swiping your debit card. The machine then takes about ten minutes and a bunch of horrendously loud noise before spitting out one DVD.

    The thing is, they run Windows XP Home. I've seen the things randomly reboot (and repeat) many of times while standing in the nearby checkout lanes. One day there was merely a constant blue screen of death. Yep.

  21. Re:Better Choices on First Max Payne Trailer Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can assure you that he would do a better job than Mark Wahlberg. ;)

  22. Mark Wahlberg? Ewww! on First Max Payne Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    That said, the film could be decent enough. I'd be willing to bet that none of the allusions to Norse mythology make much of an appearance however.

  23. Re:What ever happened to... on Next Year's Madden, Others to Get Music Download Service · · Score: 1

    Anyone know where I can download the Battletoads soundtrack?

  24. Re:As a member of the Church of FSM on Louisiana Passes Intelligent Design Law · · Score: 1

    This law will ensure that no one from Louisiana will ever receive a real education.

    So then no change, right? :P

  25. Re:As a member of the Church of FSM on Louisiana Passes Intelligent Design Law · · Score: 1

    If you seriously believe that this is only to "acknowledge the fact that not everyone believes ToE is correct", then you are seriously naive and part of their agenda.
