  2. Re:Mickey vs. Mighty on Scientists' Mouse Fight Club · · Score: 1

    Its not as bad as you think. Turns out that Mickey is actually Jerry. Also, the Disney World castle is blown up.

  3. Re:Where can I buy mice in bulk? on Scientists' Mouse Fight Club · · Score: 3, Funny

    So your going to make a bunch of mice fight each other to create testosterone then eat the mice? The steroid market is a very weird place...

  4. RealID Name on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    Why are there so many John Doe's on this forum? Most have been a very popular name.

  5. Re:I'm not convinced on The "King of All Computer Mice" Finally Ships · · Score: 1

    I have the Naga and the thumb side number-pad is nice but your thumb has issues reaching the 3, 6, and 9 digits as you have to hold the mouse w/ your thumb and ring/pinky finger. Overall, it gets uncomfortable quickly when using anything other than the lowest and most forward digits (7, 8, and 4). I foresee this mouse being unable to right/left click and macro simultaneousness i.e. modifier keys. I would love to see a better picture of the mouse but it seems the site is pretty well /.'d already...

    The fat green alien rapper on the right of the Disaster Hero page made me laugh. It may do the same for you, just saying. Bling!

  8. A cave on One Video Card, 12 Monitors · · Score: 1

    In this respect the Powercolor innovation is great, as everyone can have a true immersive 3D cave even at home

    How is this a selling point? Can you get anymore true 3D cave immersion than my mom's basement?

    Only 2? What about Tri-SLi.

  10. Validation? on Lord of the Rings Online To Go Free-To-Play · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it would only be validation if it makes money. Let's wait until we see release/subscription rates a few months down the line.

    So getting drunk is both the cause and solution to all of this guys troubles? Sir, you may have a drinking problem.

  13. Publisher? Maybe. on Ubisoft Says No More Game Manuals · · Score: 1

    While UBI may be the first publisher, I think digital distribution methods like Steam are WAY ahead on this front.

  14. Let me decide on US Rejects Demands For ACTA Transparency · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We hope that enough progress is made in New Zealand in clearing brackets from the text so that participants can be in a position to reach a consensus on sharing a meaningful text with the public.

    Hey, how about letting the people decide what is meaningful?

  16. Re:What about this guy...? on Videogame Driving Skills Don't Apply In Real Life · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As an avid Impreza driver, I would love to agree w/ you on all of these points but the limiting factor in learning how a car actually handles from a game is feedback, particularly steering. Don't get me wrong, braking, lines, and shift points are all things you can learn from a game but I would disagree that you can learn exactly how your car will handle. As a great example, I was making a right turn into traffic and floored it. The car over steered and required a steering correction which was much more difficult than the initial turn. In your standard GT game, your controller, or steering wheel, would easily correct the over steer but in an actual car it will take much more force and you have the inertia from the turn throwing off your movements.

    I think the big part of faster times from drivers who practice in games is that they learn the track, lines, braking, and shift points. They should know how their car handles from RL practice.

    Side note - GT doesn't tell you that Impreza first gear and reverse are terrible.
