  1. ORIGINAL trilogy? on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    Well, now that someone has pried Star Wars out of his very much still alive hands, should we be seeing the uneditted cuts of Star Wars in a form other than non-anamorphic DVD sometime in the near future?

  2. The idea behind the demo on Duke Nukem Forever Demo Released · · Score: 1

    ...Was clearly to give the pre-order players the validation they need. That the game exists, and that they are among the first to play SOME incarnation of the title.

    I can't wait for Friday. Fuck the naysayers.

  3. Region locking is archaic on Nintendo 3DS Launching On March 27 For $250 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Having since enjoyed the freedoms afforded to me (for now anyway) with the lack of PS3 region locking, as an Australian, I have hence decided that any systems locked will be imported from the states.

    Region locking to me is a serious throwback to the early 90s where Nintendo used to manipulate publishers and price points in every region. With region locking, Nintendo can just blindly go ahead and charge me twice as much (typically new games here are upto $120AUD on PS3/360, similar on Wii) and get away with it.

    It's bullshit and I refuse to play their profiteering game any longer.

  4. Over it on iPhone Alarms Hit By New Year's Bug · · Score: 0

    Apple make good phones. Their other stuff I don't really care about.

    The fact my expensive new phone can't even manage to keep the time, twice this fucking year now (last one was when daylight savings came into effect), is really irritating to me. Last time I checked, clocks were pretty important. Alarms are also important. The alarm stays on but doesn't trigger. I don't even understand how this could happen on something as basic as a year change.

    We're way past Y2K to be having this kind of crap happen.

    Oh, and I do work one of the aforementioned 'shit jobs' that requires me to be at work by 8am on a Sunday morning (this marks the second time my phones made me late now). Guess I should buy a $10 alarm clock that can actually keep the time better than my $800+ phone.

  5. BSG was good... on BSG Prequel Series Caprica Canceled · · Score: 1

    ...but this prequel often had trouble with its story. It's special effects were extremely ordinary in alot of circumstances. You can only suspend your level of disbelief TO A POINT - an extremely obvious fake car explosion ruins this immersion a little bit. This whole thing with sects and that manipulative woman irritated me and is boring. Sure, Zoe's hot but it doesn't make up for the rest of the shows issues. Quite simply - even if BSG did have average writing occasionally, it's miles ahead of this prequel.
