  1. Re:Thanks, Wal-Mart! on Wal-Mart Enters the Used Game Fray · · Score: 1

    The foul smelling mouth breather behind the counter.

  2. Re:WoW is still better on Age of Conan, One Year On · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For anyone unconvinced the class balance really WAS bad enough to warrant quitting. While assassins were absolutely useless twits who could barely take care of equally leveled monsters without cooldowns, any healing class was capable of tearing the very stars from the heavens. They could only be torn down by Guardians, or by exceptionally skilled players in a lesser class(And I do mean lesser). Grouping was also a complete joke. The game plan every single time boiled down to "Let tank pile up mobs, spam aoe, repeat."

  3. Re:WoW is still better on Age of Conan, One Year On · · Score: 1

    I've been tossing around the idea of reinstalling this behemoth and giving it another go, but a combination of a nearly 40gig install and remembering just how obscenely unbalanced the crap was I really doubt I will bother.

  4. Re:Yeah, get the ball rolling... on Adblock Plus Maker Proposes Change To Help Sites · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'm fine with "normal" ads and sometimes have the blocker turned off for a few hours until I finally run into one of those fullscreen ads, or have one trying to talk to me at which point I'll spend another week or more unwilling to deal with that bullshit. I also don't think I'm alone when I say that the vast majority of websites I visit aren't "deserving" of ad revenue and are just milking visitors.

  5. Re:Persecution, not prosecution on Adult Website Use At Work Leads To Hacker Conviction · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if the hacking charge is stupider than uploading pictures of your johnson from work or not...

  6. God I wish Microage hadn't closed down... on GameStop Selling Games Played By Employees As New · · Score: 1

    I had to work through that "crappy teenager jobs" stage at McDonalds, Wal-Mart, and Westfair foods. It looked so promising at 12, when I noticed the till staff was using the work pc to play shadowrun on Genesis.

  9. Re:The answer isn't more marketing nonsense... on Game Companies Face Hard Economic Choices · · Score: 1

    No reason we can't rocket them both into the sun with the Angry "tuff" Mechanic girl to keep them company.

  10. Re:The solution is 2D games on Game Companies Face Hard Economic Choices · · Score: 1

    Popcap is your example of a "usual" 2D focused company? You can just as reasonably say that 3D games are the obvious way to go because it's working so well for Blizzard.

    Rough day at EA?

    "5) Betting on safe and sure things is a surefire road to stagnation and failure. You can't be afraid to shake up the status-quo and innovate. There's nothing wrong with sequels per se, as fans of your first(and second, third...) are likely expecting a second(or third, or fourth) (I'm working on one now, may god have mercy on my soul), but you can't just remake the same game and expect everyone to buy it a second third and fourth time." Fixed. Please god let the universe do away with the haggard space marine stereotype.

  13. Re:am i missing something? on Game Companies Face Hard Economic Choices · · Score: 1

    I would just like to say that as a young kid (23 now) The games that completely sold me on videogames and sealed my fate were Earthbound and Chrono Trigger. CT stands in my mind as the example of what a truly great game is with an interesting storyline and fairly simple gameplay while FF12 is too boring for words and was the first Final Fantasy of the "core lineup" that I simply refused to play to conclusion.

  14. Re:Yay. on Emulation Explosion On the PS3 Via Linux · · Score: 1

    More fiddling to get it working, duh.

  15. Re:No on Emulation Explosion On the PS3 Via Linux · · Score: 1

    If the 360 had an internal power adapter the thing would skip RRoD and just be reduced to ash. Console fanboyism is stupid at this point anyway. This time last year the 360 would have been the better investment as far as available games, but the gap has been closing and the Wii arguably isn't even really competing for the same market as the PS3/360.

  16. Re:Lets hope it doesn't go wrong (bad taste warnin on Europe's Biggest Amateur Rocket Completes Test-Firing · · Score: 1

    Lets see if Bill Stone is really as brave as he says :o

  17. Re:And so what... on Europe's Biggest Amateur Rocket Completes Test-Firing · · Score: 5, Funny

    2009 - 50 = 1959. See what he did there? ^__________^

    The aliens who invaded probably just couldn't read the hazard warnings left in the fields by smarter aliens :P

    Except that management has responded already and awknowledged the mistake.

  21. Re:MS on Symantec Support Gone Rogue? · · Score: 1

    ... I guess you missed the part about not wanting to OPEN THE BOX without the answer? You failed as hard here as tech support seems to have.

    Pine boxes are cheaper, too.

    I know that here atleast schools legally have to know how to contact your legal guardian, I imagine it`s the same most other places.
