  1. Re:Gold selling is a good idea on Game Developers On Gold Selling · · Score: 1

    I did a quick search on the FFXI wiki and it is a % tax + flat fee.

  2. Re:Too "Colbert".. on NASA To Announce Module Name On Colbert Show · · Score: 1

    +5 The honest truth.

  3. Re:Gold selling is a good idea on Game Developers On Gold Selling · · Score: 1

    Actually gil is getting destroyed. There is the AH tax/listing fee.

  4. Re:Final Fantasy XIII anyone? on Rockstar Games Develops Connection Between Flash Gaming, Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    No, FF13 games are completly independent games linked by a common theme. Also, the mobile title is now going to be a PSP game.

  5. +5 Credit where credit is due.
    Also there is Shadowrun which was playable on PC and X360. I guess WoW could be considered multi-platform because you can play it on Mac and PC.

    "All of this has happened before and will happen again."

  7. Re:Not "like XP," they "hate Vista with a passion. on XP Reprieve, Downgrade May Continue After Win7 · · Score: 1

    I had the same experience when my work upgraded MS Office from 2003 to 2007. Yes, everything is still there and some stuff is cool, but I have to relearn how to do alot of things. Even just printing. Gone are the days when you click the simple printer icon on the top tool bar. Now you have to go through Excell's start menu, select print, and then chose how you want to print.

  8. Re:Why? on MediaDefender Buys MediaSentry For $136,000 (Not $20M) · · Score: 1

    Very few people wake up one morning, decide the world is a bleak place and off themselves without a word. Whether or not the suicide attempt itself is a cry for help, or the result of a legitimate desire to end one's life, most people DO "cry for help" before they ever do it.

    And it is because no one listened that they end up following through with the act. Maybe because no one ever listened to them (or they had no one to tell) is the reason they take their own life.

  9. Re:this language will be removed on Texas Senate Proposes a Budget With a No-Vista-Upgrades Rider · · Score: 1

    I am in this boat. Recently I had to reinstall WindowsXP on my gameing rig that has a Raid setup. I forgot what a pain it was to get Raid working with windows setup (need a floppy drive, who uses those any more). Also, XP is starting to show it's age. I'm about to install a new video card with 1Gig of memory on it so I am very close to hitting the 4gig memory limitation of XP32. I think I can survive till Win7 comes out but not much past that.

  10. Re:Pipe dream on Harvard Law's Nesson Says P2P Is "Fair Use" · · Score: 1

    Back in the day when I used to download NES and SNES Roms the legal statement on the sites were something like "It is illegal to download a rom for a game you do not own the original cartage for." I dont see why the same logic can not be applied to modern games/movies/music.

  11. Re:Pipe dream on Harvard Law's Nesson Says P2P Is "Fair Use" · · Score: 1

    WTF! So is it against the law if I clean my DVDs? After all I am escaping/slowing down the normal wear and tear of my purchase.

    When you buy something like a movie or game you buy a copy of the content not the medium.

  12. Re:Finding Easter Eggs in the Legal Code on Harvard Law's Nesson Says P2P Is "Fair Use" · · Score: 0, Troll

    But you did not steal the car. You used a replicator to make an identical copy of the car. You did not deprive the original owner of anything.

  13. Re:I missed it? on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hollywood have run out of original ideas and are now strip-mining all of the money-making franchises they can, especially comics.

    The Simpsons did it!

    Every story that can be done has been done and done several times. It is rare that you get to see something truly unique (Donnie Darko). Until then I'll try to enjoy the new spins hollywood puts on old classics.

  14. Re:WWOOOSSSHHHH!!! KKRRCK-BOOOOMM!!!! on NASA In Colbert Conundrum Over Space Station · · Score: 1

    Nice that you fail to mention that of the 4 voting options and 10 wright-ins Serenity and Tranquility are most fitting with the other node modules (Unity and Harmony).

  15. Re:WWOOOSSSHHHH!!! KKRRCK-BOOOOMM!!!! on NASA In Colbert Conundrum Over Space Station · · Score: 1

    No, the only objection I have to the name 'serenity' is that it hails from obviously bad science fiction.

    Please elaborate. How exactly was Firefly "bad science fiction"?

  16. Re:Utah has a rather progressive Governor. on Utah Governor Vetoes Jack Thompson's Game Sales Bill · · Score: 1

    I dont know why this was modded troll because it is true. I voted democrat in the last Utah election but seeing what the governor has done, I wish he was gona run for a third term.

  17. Re:A Good topic on The Age of Speed · · Score: 1

    But why do you do what you dont want to do? What is the point of life if you can not enjoy it?

    I'm not sure you understand what you are saying. Before they explained The Force as germs it was magic.

  19. Re:Hardly surprising... on Ballmer Scorns Apple As a $500 Logo · · Score: 1

    What Apple software is only aviable on Apple and not Windows?

    Also, the only popular game Apple/Mac can play is WoW. What about Crysis, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty?

  20. Re:Bastards made piece with the Cylons on Battlestar Galactica Hosted At the UN · · Score: 1

    That was 2 years ago. In case you are even farther behind here is a few more for you; King Kong dies and Aerith is killed by Sephiroth at the end of disk 1.

    Falling is the fun part. I used to jump off tall things when I was a kid and enjoy doing it. It is only when I came in contact with the hard surface known as "the ground" that I started to regret what I did.

    I dont know about your system but I only have 2GB ram and I can leave Firefox open with 20ish tabs and still play Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3 just fine.

  25. Re: Firefly on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 1

    You can have my geek card now because I dont even know what RSS is. My guess is that it is a automated system that downloads stuff. If that is true then thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass. I dont need my computer downloading more stuff without my knowledge.
