  1. Re:I _need_ an alternative to Paypal on PayPal vs Google(Buy) · · Score: 1

    A bricks and mortar bank would have done the exact same thing regarding somethingawful's suddenly swelling coffers. It's not a paypal issue, rather an anomalous account issue.

    It's true that they could have handled the aftermath better, but rapid deposits like that set off alarms immediately.

  2. Re:Dr Who Porn on Dr. Who on Sci-Fi Channel in March · · Score: 1

    There's a torrent of it out there somewhere. It's pretty awful though.

  3. Re:Should I bother with "Warrior Within"? on Review: Prince of Persia - The Two Thrones · · Score: 1

    The new one is actually pretty good. I played it to completion, and any time I got to a an awkward/buggy bit, I was happy to think "At least it isn't Warrior Within".

  4. Re:Should I bother with "Warrior Within"? on Review: Prince of Persia - The Two Thrones · · Score: 5, Funny

    Instead of playing Warrior Within, listen to Godsmack at full volume and scream "Bitch!" at the top of your lungs for a few minutes. It's much the same experience.

    It's a bad, bad game.

  5. Re:Let me guess: on Ports for Porn - Using Firewalls to Block Porn · · Score: 0

    Take my wife.

    Please!

  6. Re:new business practises on iTMS Moving Up The Sales Charts · · Score: 1

    Cabaret Voltaire weren't exactly a small time outfit.

  7. Re:What?? on CNN's Game Over On The 360 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Personally, I'm holding out for the R-Type faceplate.

  8. Re:.. "Still Better than Cadbury!" on Nestle Patents Coffee Beer · · Score: 1

    It's made, perhaps unsurprisingly, by the Mars Corporation.

  9. Re:Thankfully on HBO Attacking BitTorrent · · Score: 4, Informative

    Azureus has a bad data kicker built in. Combine it with Peer Guardian and the likelihood of accepting bad connections does drop somewhat.

  10. Re:Why should it not be UK only? on BBC Releases P2P TV Client Test · · Score: 1

    Sky box & Freeview card will work if you really want it.

  11. Re:Instead of sharing non-free music on BitTorrent: Sysadmins to face the music · · Score: 1

    To be honest, those are among the worst bands I've ever heard. I seriously doubt _your_ musical taste.

  12. Re:Another Doctor Who documentary to check out on Online Doctor Who Documentary · · Score: 2, Informative

    I do believe the original poster was talking about the Dr Who Confidential series, which isn't out on DVD so far, and doesn't seem scheduled for release at any time soon.

  13. Re:12 months for some on Movie Games Losing Their Appeal to Game Publishers · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. Kotor2 had some problems that could have been easily fixed with more time. Rushing it out of the door for Christmas wasn't a good idea.
    Anyway, at least there's Jade Empire on the horizon.

  14. Re:Scannable? on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Works fine with Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Neil Young's Weld and the pop stylings of Merzbow.

  15. Re:Wow... on Martian Sea Discovered · · Score: 1

    Dry ice.

  16. Re:Ahhh the good old days.... on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 1

    I was I still had some of those tapes and a high speed deck. I could sue most of the warprecords roster by demonstrating prior art.

  17. It's hardly a first on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Diverse artists such as Tomita, Shakin' Stevens & the Thompson Twins distributed software on vinyl over 20 years ago.

    OH DEAR.
    a bat bit

    you.

  18. Re:Not surprising on United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads · · Score: 1

    I'm sure one of the channels shows that Dragonblast Z thing.

  19. Re:Better Link to Broken Saints Site on Web Comics Make The Small Screen · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm, is that maybe why strongbad isn't appearing as funny? Is firefox's inbuild pop-up blocker interfering with the humour?

  20. Re:Bandwidth on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 1

    The account is being used, therefore it uses bandwidth. If it were deleted, then it would free up bandwidth for the more active users.

  21. Re:To answer the question.... on Viewtiful Joe Swoops To Save 2D Gameplay · · Score: 1

    Those Mario Sunshine levels that emulated the old-school days are impossible to control.

    No way! They were easily the best bit of the game.

  22. Re:Don't import! on Viewtiful Joe Swoops To Save 2D Gameplay · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't agree with the lack of save points complaint. Where are the save points in Ghosts'n'Goblins or Rolling Thunder?

    They aren't there, because you're expected to be good at the game.

    Viewtiful Joe harkens back to these days, and for me that's why it's such a great game. My thumb is almost blistered after a week of it. That hasn't happened for many years.

  23. Re:To answer the question.... on Viewtiful Joe Swoops To Save 2D Gameplay · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It has quite a lot of replay value with additional difficulty levels and unlockable characters.
    It's the best game this year since Wario Ware, and probably the best game so far on the cube.

    It's a joy to play and very challenging in it's puzzles and bosses. Tremendous fun overall.

  24. Re:No longer is it shite being Scottish! on Broadband via Power Cables trials in Scotland · · Score: 1

    Irvine Welsh has recently written a followup of sorts to Trainspotting called Porno. His contempt for weedgies is pretty high.

  25. Re:best... interview... ever.... on Wil Wheaton Responds to your Questions. · · Score: -1, Troll

    fuck that. let alcohol make the first move. get the chick drunk, then fuck the living shit out of her. you'll both wake up the next morning happy as all hell. if alcohol doesn't work, or isn't available, i'd suggest a nice large hammer. one swift blow to the back of the head, knock her out, fuck the living shit out of her corpse. the next morning, go for a drive, and get in an accident. make sure its substantial, and blame the death on the wreck. a good coroner can note time of death by stomach contents, so make sure she didn't eat the night before. also, keep her warm until the crash, as it will prevent rigor mortis. if you dont like the idea of disposing of the body like this, i'd suggest keeping her in a dry location, and you can always have sex whenever you want. just make sure that once she starts to spoil, you dont tear the flesh, as the smell will be unbearable. another plus on this method is there is no need for any oral sex, for she doesnt' give a fuck. just plow away until you're done, and that's that.
