  1. Re:Another puzzle. on Geek Brain Teasers · · Score: 2

    If boy 1 saw that boy 2 was clean and boy 3 was muddy, and boy 3 had his hand up, that means that one of himself or boy 2 has mud. Since boy 2 was clean (he could see that) he must be muddy.

  2. Ahh the Advance.. on Game Boy Advance Arrives · · Score: 2

    A relife for the 16 bit era? could the SNES 'time of light' be once again upon us? It looks that way- from the game lists anyway. But it makes me wonder-- very few things nowadays are done for the 'fans'- they're done for the $'s and the Advance seems too good to be true.

    Does anyone know if tey confirmed the FF4-6 remakes yet?

  3. Re:Censorship by a different name on B.C. Officially Proposes Video Game Regulations · · Score: 2

    What I find wierd are those shows that *do* show breasts, but they still result to the old tricks sometimes - the same person on scene could be full frontal naked, and then a camera change later she's standing so a metal bar exactly obscures her chest. It makes me wonder what they're thinking..

  4. Re:I hate or dislike almost every new arcade game on Another Arcade Standby Calls It Quits · · Score: 2

    Probably the most annoying thing with Ryu Ken and Akuma is the rather large invincibilty window and priority of the Dragon Punch. There are numerous ways to get past fireballs (even more in more recent games, like CVS's evade roll) and the kick can easily be defeated, but the dragon punch (only theirs, it seems. Most other z-motion moves (Cannon Spike, Iori's Fire Ball in CVS, Sakura's dragon punch) have lower priority.

    I never play as Ryu/Ken though. They really dont fit my style.

    I had a post modded up and down like 8 times, settling eventually on 3.

    THere haven't been many space stations for Mir to be compared against, you know.

  7. It's Funny, Laugh on Anti Spamming Act 2001 Proposed · · Score: 5

    I thought i'd share this gem with you.
    I received unsolciited advertising mail and this was at the end:

    This is not a SPAM. You are receiving this because you are on a list of email addresses that I have purchased for marketing.

  8. Re:Much too late on Black & White Goes Gold · · Score: 2

    RA2 is a helluva lot better then Tiberian Sun. If RA2 *DOES* suck (I dissagree, but anyway) then it certianlydoesn't deserve to bite in all caps.

  9. Re:i'm stunned... on Preliminary Ruling Limits Scope of Rambus Patents · · Score: 2

    What about Capcom and SNK working together or Sega making Nintendo games?

  10. Re:Invention without Ethics on Paper Phones · · Score: 2

    There's a lower limit. It's called being dead.

  11. Re:*Where* do you live? on Screwed Over IP Rights By Your Employer? · · Score: 2

    You miss the point: the IP agreement was that the stuff was *HIS* and now the company says that they want it. If he's in a state with Ip agreements, then he's on solid ground. if he's not in a state with IP agreements, then the company has no right to the stuff anyway.

  12. You know what they say. on One Click Setback for Amazon · · Score: 2

    Every time a multinational corporation attempts to bully people with unfair patents and fails, an angel gets it's wings.

  13. Re:Something I'd like to see on The Largest Unpiloted Legged Robot Yet · · Score: 2

    As opposed to a flaming pit of ICE, which just results in a lot of water.

    Which would work fairly well, considering their robots.

  14. Fix not your gaze where it is required the least on Clock Ticking For Australian PlayStation Chippers · · Score: 2

    Everyone seems to be arguing over the ligimitacy of playing backups/copies/etc and whether it costs Sony money or whatever..

    All this about piracy when there is one, very legitimate use for mod chips... Imports! You cant play Japanese games on an American playstation without modchips or other trickery!

  15. Re:Conquer, smonquer on The Making of PlayStation · · Score: 2

    The PSX has shown in the past that it's slow for sprites (slowdowns in a lot of places) and it's severely ram limited (MvC with no tag-team!?)
    ----

  16. Re:Conquer, smonquer on The Making of PlayStation · · Score: 2

    The Saturn did have a much, much, MUCH better sprite engine. Sprite games on the PSX generally suck (look at the crippled Marvel vs Capcom, for instance)

    Like "Pigeonhole Principle"?

  20. Hmm on Self-Healing Composites · · Score: 2

    Well it's good to know that Science is getting all the physical stuff out of the way BEFORE making AI, so any rouge AI can just build a robot made out of self-repairing laser-deflecting EMP-proof armor.

  21. Re:In the future on Cops Bust Starcraft Clan · · Score: 2

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it:
    cs_prison (AKA the 'lets all fall off ladders' map)
    es_jail (one of the two maps in the 'failed' escape map type)

  22. Re:Disturbing, but hardly surprising on Cops Bust Starcraft Clan · · Score: 2

    Everyone knows that any child can go on a killing spree with the guns he has stockpiled just from hearing the word 'Kill'. The lesson here is that you should always threaten people by saying you'll send them to another dimension.

  23. Railgun, eh? on DIY Railgun Projects · · Score: 2

    Can we mount this on a robot and use it to propell stealth nuclear warheads from places off the world's nuclear strategy map?

  25. Re:My main problem... on 'Matrix' Sequels In Trouble? · · Score: 2

    Whether you have to consiously control something doesn't mean it still isn't being driven, at least partially, by your brain. If someone had their brain just 100% shut off, what would that do to the person?

    Granted, the whole 'bleeding' in the real world thing is nonsense.
