Gee, how many times have we seen *that* witty comment? 200? 300? More?
Hmm.. I just typed up an ultra-sarcastic, mean-spirited reply to this post, and Netscape crashed before I could send it. Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't start a flame war over this (though it's probably deserved, you horrible, horrible person). The non-sarcastic version:
I didn't read any of the comments on this page. Nor on any of the other patent-related posts. I didn't realize that my comment was somewhat unoriginal. So there. Maybe now you can call off my execution, you rat bastard.
...But I bet that the CRTC has some ulterior motive. Why? Because the CRTC is evil, and I'm pretty sure they're run by Hitler. They're the same people who prevent Canadians from getting all the cool American channels, because they're "preserving Canadian culture." Which is, of course, a big load of bull, because really, Canadians are just Americans (when it comes to TV, movies, and music).
And, all of those tie-ins are littered with banner ads. So even if you don't buy anything, you're still generating revenue for Netscape on some level.
What? A business wants to make money? What a shocker! What's next? A website that wants to get hits? Or maybe a stand-up comedian who wants to get laughs?
The nerve of Netscape! Trying to make money and sustain their business! For shame!
This actually reminds me of something I read about a while back (it may have been on Slashdot). It was sort of like this, but it was made by a university student for a contest, and it used a lightsaber instead of your head. I'm pretty sure the guy made an accompanying game, too.
I don't know about everyone else, but the idea of using a lightsaber seems a lot more tempting than trying to control a game by shaking my head. George Clooney should love it, though...
This is good. Now, when one of my friends tries to make fun of me for re-watching the trilogy every couple of months, I can just point them to this guy's site.
It's like the fat guy back in High School gym class. You may suck at gym, but the fat guy always makes you look good.
First of all, that story was called the next gaming gods. Second of all, I can see why you'd have a problem with Killcreek being there (it would be hard not to see that)... But Cliffy B? Why shouldn't he? I think a little game called Unreal Tournament warrants his inclusion on the list.
I believe computer professionsals suffer more back pain than professional movers
Holy crap, do you want some cheese with that whine?
Really though, this guy needs to get some serious perspective. Computer programmers sit on their asses all day. Professional movers are up and about all day, lifting hundreds of pounds at a time.
Gee, let's see, which one is harder on your back? Is it (a) Sitting on your ass all day, or (b) lifting hundreds of pounds and moving all day?
Yeah, this is a real toughie, Reege. I'm going to have to go for a lifeline.
Holy crap, this is the saddest thing I've heard in a long time. I mean, if you wanted a PS2 so badly that you're willing to pay triple (or more) than what it's worth, why the hell didn't you preorder it?
This is just idiocy at its peak. If these people waited a few weeks, they could buy a PS2 in the store with plenty of games, and go and eat dinner at a nice restaurant that night -- For the same money, or maybe even less.
P.T. Barnum was wrong. There is a sucker and an idiot born every minute. And every other minute, a sucker/idiot is born. And those people are now paying $1000+ for a PS2.
The original (1985) Super Mario Bros is on the GBC, with pixel perfect reproduction and color. You get all
32 levels, the star levels, and 'Super Mario for Super players' (Hella tough), challange mode, and a 2 player
race game. All for 30 bucks.
I just cant stop playing this, I haven't even been playing Tetris since I got it.
Agreed. The game is awesome. If your a fan of Super Mario Brothers and you have a Game Boy Color, you owe it to yourself to buy it. Heck, even if you don't have a Game Boy, buy one, then buy SMB DX.
But nothing beats Tetris. I've been playing that game for years, and I don't think I'll EVER get sick of it. Sure, there will be spans of a month or so where I won't. But I always come back.
Quimby: Demand? Who are you to demand anything? I run this town. You're just a bunch of low-income nobodies!
Assistant: Uh, election in November. Election in November...
Quimby: What? Again!? This stupid country.
Oh yeah, this is a real good idea. Because God knows, I'm always overshooting those icons. And then I figure, "Well, I've already passed that icon, why bother going through the hassle of going all the way back to it?"
And links too. The fact that they're underlined and that my cursor turns into a pointing finger when I go over them isn't enough. And then, what if I overshoot that? Moving my hand a couple of millimeters is unacceptable.
So sign me up for one of those force-feedback mice right now!
This reminds me of that Star Trek where Picard and his girlfriend go and play their instruments in the Jefferies Tube. She has a roll-up piano, and uh... Well, that's about it, actually.
All spammers should be forcibly dragged out of their homes and lined up in the streets. They should then by shot in the head, one by one, execution-style -- preferably with a very powerful, very high caliber rifle or pistol. And it should be televised, as a warning for all potential spammers.

Actually, it is their collective vision. It was co-written by Clarke and Kubrick (the book came after the film, I believe).
It's a space station.

You call this postem?
You call this a tax return?

If you don't get that reference, then you don't watch enough Simpsons.
The system
Two controllers
A light-gun
Robbie the Robot (or whatever his name was)
Super Mario Brothers
Duck Hunt
Maybe Gyromite, I can't remember...
Now those were the good old days. Happy birthday NES!

Damn! You beat me to it.
I'll bet this has something to do with Homer sabotaging Mir.
This list is okay, but what about Al Gore? After all, he created the internet.
That was a good episode.
That would be sweet.
Will Wright didn't make all the sim games. Not even close. Just Simcity, Simcity 2000, and the Sims.
Which isn't really too hard, considering that's none.
Long live Lithtech!
