    * You watch the movie in the order they want you to.

    * It breaks? Buy a new one - that's what they want.

    * It degrades? They profit.

    * Theatrical or director's cut? They 'll be glad to sell you two copies.

    How the hell is Mandrake going to predict the updates that they'll need in two months and put them on the CDs?

    Didn't MS code stuff for... shit, what was that game system... oh, was it the original PlayStation? Yeah, about the time Sony was passing out PSX details, they said they paid MS to write something for it or something.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Maybe we should adopt Latin. It certainly isn't a living language anymore... Wait a second! Every language that is used in daily life is living! That's right! If everybody spoke Latin, it wouldn't be the dead language that it is.

    I don't know... according to the IMDB, the allegedly true story that is Fargo didn't actually happen. That's too bad, that movie was cinema gold.

    Ssh. We all know Microsoft sets the standards with their software. When you're big, you can force others to do what you want them to. It's a hell of a lot easier than good programming practices.

    THPS2 was good for a launch game, and possibly the best 3D --> 2D port you can get, but it doesn't hold a candle to the 4-player madness to CCR.

    Probably the reason CCR is such a fun multiplayer puzzle game is the fact that, unlike Tetris, the four players actually interact on the same field instead of multiple parallel fields. That, the speed, and the proximity make CCR digital happiness. I only wish there was a working DC emulator so I could play mad Chu Chu Rocket. And Jet Grind Radio.

    With this, UT in Linux will finally be a viable option for me! Three cheers for the kernel hackers!

    Over Christmas break, my friends and I had more fun with Chu Chu Rocket than with any other game, including the brand-new mega hype Final Fantasy X. That $50 Dreamcast fucking wins.

    Ssh! It's still better than nick. My rundown on CN anime:
    • DBZ - Bottom of the barrel diarhhea of anime
    • Zoids - Gundam knockoff, please shoot me now
    • Gundam * - It's a huge story arc, and if you miss an episode, you'll have the gun in your mouth because the rest won't make sens
    • Sailor Moon - OMG IT'S CRAZY COOL ON HAPPY CRACK FUN MEGA!
    • Cowboy Bebop - Quality.

  17. Hooray! on Nick Cancelling Invader Zim · · Score: 2, Funny
    I'm looking forward the wonderful* Klasky-Csupo show that they'll replace it with! Maybe it will be great** like that awesome*** show, Rugrats!

    * - dismal
    ** - extremely shitty
    *** - drawn-out, redundant, no good, very bad

    Nickelodeon is quickly becoming a channel that shows exactly four different shows: Rugrats, SpongeBob, that one show that had Burger King toys a while back, and another new show that takes everything TO THE EXTREME!! I'd rather they showed stuff like Zim, but then I remembered - that's what Cartoon Network is for! Fuck Nick. Show Zim on the channel that actually has quality TV like Cowboy Bebop!

    I said this:

    Last time I checked, "all" fits completely within the bounds of "many," and infinity is longer than a minute. It's a good thing you do such a great* job at identifying thinly veiled wit.

  21. Re:How long do the games last? on 4th Computer Chess Tournament · · Score: 2
    Lots of chess programs will compute out the entire game. Since the possible moveset increases exponetially every turn, calculating the whole game can take much longer than a minute in many cases.

    Now, if the engines chunk up the game into larger metamoves, they might take less time, but also wouldn't be able to do it with the same chilling accuracy a brute-force program could.
