    He's got experience selling to fad-obsessed 25-35 year olds hooked on useless crap just because it's trendy, it looks vaguely European/from the future, and it's made of plastic.

    I think I have it figured out. Today, Slashdot is out-trolling the trolls! Not even an elite Swiss army of super mountain trolls with +4 Bonnets of Fortitude could swallow the mightly load of trite "jokes" that this site is spewing out of the wretched head of its empty shell of a carcass. I mean, by Great Blackbeard's Ghost, in the time it takes to type this message there's going to be another ballast of well edited idiociy headed our way. Maybe tomorrow will be A Serious Day(tm) and the true geeks will be able to delicately discuss all the issues, the trolls having been tired of posting "In Soviet rist Post, Korean Comdex Cancels Old You!" 612 times during the past 12 hours.

    Or, we'll all be gone in disgust, only to return Monday.

  13. But... look! on Apple Hires DVD Jon · · Score: 1

    You know...

    InnovativeAthletic.com* offers some really nice prices on custom wall padding. Their covered material meets California Fire Marshall's specifications for flammability. Your padding can be delivered easily in many attractive colors: Navy Blue, Yellow, Red, White, Beige, Green, Grey, Black, Orange, and Royal Blue. Prices start as low as $69.

    I suggest we all order this immediately as it is becoming perilous to repetitively beat our heads against the fucking wall for all the stupid April Fool's jokes /. is doing. I feel really bad for MirrorDot and others who are archiving and mirroring all this idiocy. It's like the Internet, reduced to one site.

    Please, at least put a throw pillow on your forehead and tie it with a headband. We're all going to hurt ourselves if we keep slamming our heads against the wall like this.

    * I am in no way partnered with this site! Nor do I currently have padded walls.

    Yes, I bet Karol Wojtyla is in his room, laughing at the whole Catholic world right now. In a few hours he's going to come out skiing out of his room, yelling, "I'm fine! My organs work just fine! I got you good, Catholics!"

  20. Re:Nintendo = The remaining innovator on Nintendo Revolution Details Reaffirmed · · Score: 1
    Some points/opinion on your post and the grandparent's:
    • The SNES is a perfect controller for smaller hands. Like the PS* controller, it feels small and flimsy now. The ideal size for me is Xbox's Controller S. The Dreamcast and regular Xbox controllers were just too damn big.
    • The Dreamcast added the VMU, which wasn't really as useful as I had hoped -- a lot more could've been done with it.
    • The Xbox didn't add the second analog stick, since it already existed in PS* controllers. To me, the big failure of the Xbox controller (besides the size of the regular one) are the black and white buttons, which are so small as to be useless. Why can't we have BIG buttons like we used to have with the Genesis?
    • If I were to make the perfect controller, it would be the size of the Xbox Controller S, have a useful VMU like the Dreamcast, and have buttons the size of the old Genesis controller.

  22. Re:bad games on The Lifespan of The Nintendo Entertainment System · · Score: 1

    You should check out Prince of Persia, Ico, Katamari Damacy, one of the Tony Hawk games, and Rallisport 2. I want to mention Halo 2 as well, but would probably get flamed ("It's just a regular FPS!").

    There are new, interesting games coming out. Console game developers ARE getting creative. There's been a lot of new stuff since the N64. Is every game an improvement? No. But there's a lot of awesome stuff you are missing out on.

  23. Eh... on COMDEX Cancelled Again · · Score: 4, Funny

    So what's the point? Is it coming back? Is this going to be a new meme? "Duke Nukem for Longhorn SE to come out at Comdex, now powered by cold fusion... in Japan!"
