  1. Compatition!!!!!!!! on What's In an Educational Game? · · Score: 1

    if i am at work or school, i want something short but sweet, ie tetris, planar, 3d puzzles, or games like the incredible machine.

    I do enjoy games with virtually no educational value too, but what it boils down to is score, time or however you can compare it to your friends or those around the world.

    Am i SMRT?

    I doubt i would want to play an education game that take a long time (not including playing the same thing over and over)
    But i wouldn't mind being proven wrong... is there a game that is considered long that many people like?

  2. Twilight Vampire Skin on Healing Wounds With Diamonds · · Score: 1

    perhaps this explains the vampire skin in Twilight?

    diamonds in/on there skin stop them burning up in the sun.... ;)

  3. Re:Great advertising for new versions! on Why Game Developers Should Shut Up About Used Games · · Score: 1

    While the first idea here is interesting, that doesn't solve the problem... someone will make a site like Creigs dedicated just for this issue, and were back at square one.

    As for the Make Games Better Attitude... that's retarded.

    pricing games according to VALUE is what is needed. blanket pricing is ridiculous.

    Super Mario Bros - i'll pay $1 for play once or twice and come back in a year or two, play again for 5 min and then go on to something else again.

    Tetris - i'll pay $10 for play for hours on end and come back the next week and do it all over again. (1000's of hours played on that one)

    Heavenly Sward - I'd pay $30-$40 for. It's too short a game to justify the $60 price tag. But it is a movie/story line that deserves some credit. I would be a HS2, if it was price appropriately. Not this Arbitrary $60.

    Game should come in all types of prices... 53.99, 42.50, 79.99 (for something like FF20 if they make a full length movies worth of scenes).

    Also, Games should come down in price... every 6 months drop them $5. i shouldn't be paying the same price for a game that's a year and a half old.

  4. this might be a good thing... Patenting it. on Can Bill Gates Prevent the Next Katrina? · · Score: 1

    hopefully this goes through, so if its patented... and Gates comes to his senses... he'll be able to stop people from doing such a STUPID thing

  5. Photoshop or heavier wieght programs? on Google Announces Chrome OS, For Release Mid-2010 · · Score: 1

    so what about programs like photoshop, can i still edit my photos?
    Or video editing, can i still run some 'lightweight' video editing software for my home movies?

  6. Next Questionâ"What would you do with said el on Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element · · Score: 1

    what reacts with zinc or lead that might explode?

  7. ok so only 4 atom have been observed... on Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element · · Score: 1

    but can some one tell me, is this something that can possibly naturally occur? and if so, if were in abundance, would it still decay as rapidly.

  8. Re:It's misquoted on Junior-Sized Supernova Discovered By New York Teen · · Score: 1

    Mod +1

  9. By the time Xbox has a good casual experiance... on Does the Wii Provide A "Watered-Down" Game Experience? · · Score: 1

    ...Systems will be looking at their next iteration. That being said, Nintendo will have the processing power like the rest of them... and the point will void.

    I don't expect to see same experiance for PS3 or Xbox till X-mas of 2010.

  10. Re: person choices over statisics on Could a Meteor Have Brought Down Air France 447? · · Score: 1

    I know you are not suggesting that a pilot should make their own flight path decisions... but since you making a case about making your own decisions to effect a statistic, how would a pilot flying a passenger plane make his won decisions?

    In this case, statistics might actually be closer to the real thing due to the fast that virtually all flights are 'static'

  11. Re:Did anybody else see the Scientology AD banner? on Wikipedia Bans Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    Love it! ....should we ALL go click on it?

  12. Re:Slight exageration there on Tiered Data Plans Coming To the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    That works.

    Agreed.

    True.

  13. Re:Slight exageration there on Tiered Data Plans Coming To the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    Frankly, Years is an exaggeration... while you are correct grammatically, only lawyers and copywriters say things like this.

    when you have a Baby that's 13mths old, does your family say that they have been helping you raise it for years? or since it was born or for many months?

    Years is ridiculous for a 13mth old...

    Years for a 1.5 year old product IS a bit of a stretch.

  14. and if your in canada... on Tiered Data Plans Coming To the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    Ontario, you just don't pay for data plans like i don't.

    until a data plan is considered part of my home internet usage i'm not paying more jus cause i have it coming through a separate peripheral.

    I can live with out the net on me everywhere i go, and i plan to stay that way till it's free. (As in comes with your home subscription)

    Well i might consider paying, $0.01 - $1.00/mnth
    Or
    A 1 time set up fee for $1.00- $10.00

  15. My Fav type on The Low-Intensity, Brute-Force Zombies Are Back · · Score: 1

    These are my Favorite type zombies... much more fun to take down. the new breads are not nearly as fun.

    Too vicious, too fast, communicate with other zombies...

    We need more dumb, slow, possibly confused zombies. :)

  16. what about in between tracks on Apple Shifts iTunes Pricing; $0.69 Tracks MIA · · Score: 1

    Just a thought but there are many CDs that have 25-30 track on them cuase the artist decided to talk or make an intro before the next track...

    they can be 5 seconds to a 1 minute long, but are generally not MUSIC per say...

    should these not fall under the 69c track... or less?

  17. head Phones / Car stereos on PRS Demands License Fee To Play Music To Horses · · Score: 1

    Agreed!

    or the Morons with Boom Boxes in their Cars too loud.
    Course we only hear the Bass line so maybe they'll on give them 1/2 the fine?

  18. Stick it to the station solution? on PRS Demands License Fee To Play Music To Horses · · Score: 1

    put out a petition telling everyone to stop listening to given radio station(s)...

    stations stay alive cause of advertisements... if companies find out that no ones listening, they'll stop paying for ads.

    Forcing them to FIX the problem, or Bye Bye Radio station.

  19. Employee's on the Moon on IBM Tries To Patent Offshoring · · Score: 1

    I'm Patenting employee's on the moon, (in the name of my unborn child) so that should anyone want to pay anyone to work on the moon they have to pay my child first.

  20. Re:China rocks!? on China Blocks YouTube, Again · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    China does not 'ROCK' they are what they are because they whored themselves out to worst rapist there is...next to themselves of coarse.

  21. Link to story about Xenu on Colbert Wins Space Station Name Contest · · Score: 1

    So your saying i shouldn't post this link here?

  22. Re:Once again... on Building Your Own Solar Panel In the Garage · · Score: 1

    on the contrary, someone who knows what they are doing is valued higher... they can just get the job done faster...

    usually balancing out to around the same price... but often better built.

  23. Gravity... old? on Google's Amazing Browser Experiments · · Score: 1

    isn't this kinda old now?

    http://www.youtube.com/experiencewii
    I mean it worked in my firefox then...

  24. Re:If the Wii is 'competition'... on Game Publishers Pressuring Sony For PS3 Price Cut · · Score: 1

    I wasn't saying that Nintendo made FF, just that it was the only console it was found on till FF7

    http://www.ff-fan.com/ffhistory.php

    too late? why too late? i have a Wii and a PS3.

    I've downloaded more games to the Wii (Dr.MArio, Tetris, Zelda(I&II) Super Mario 2... etc.

    On the PS3 I have only downloaded 1942.

    If the PS3 were to pick up more Classic games and do what they did with 1942, they'd have more sales there...
    the selection they have now...well some games look pretty good... but if they had classic titles... they would see even more sales.

    I'm not talking of just downloads sales... People are buying the Wii and the 360 because of the online libraries.

  25. if the bat is on the tank... on Did Bat Hitch a Ride To Space On Discovery? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    than no i don't think it made it to space.
    Unless they took the tank to space somehow...

    Or does the tank actually make it to what is considered 'space'by entering so sort of xxxxsphere
