  1. Re:Time to stop relying on Texas... on Conservative Textbook Curriculum Passes Final Vote In Texas · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't we have a responsibility to protect those children from what their community wants to teach them?

    No.

  2. Re:Not Happening on Is id Abandoning Linux? · · Score: 1

    They're targeting the Xbox 360, which doesn't have OpenGL. They most definitely have a Direct3D backend.

  3. Tradition? on Square Steps Back from 'No FF on 360' Remark · · Score: 4, Informative

    Final Fantasy VII and VIII were both released for the PS1 and PC.

    Final Fantasy XI is on the PS2, PC, and 360.

    A 360 port wouldn't exactly be an earth-shattering move.

  4. Re:does he think he is nostradamus or something? on Xbox 360 Wins Through 2009? · · Score: 1

    who would have predicted, for instance, the overwhelming popularity of the nintendo DS over the PSP?

    Anyone who ever owned a Game Gear, Lynx, TurboExpress, or Nomad?

  5. That sounds familiar... on Indigo Prophecy Creator - No More 'Porn Narrative' · · Score: 5, Interesting

  6. Re:Not villainous enough on Review: City of Villains · · Score: 1

    Everything else was fighting the same old villains from CoH -- Hellions, Skulls, Lost, Family, etc. Sure, the mission text may say "kidnap" rather than "rescue", but I was only ever "kidnapping" someone from another villain group, and it sure felt like a rescue. Sure, I steal valuable items, but only from other villain groups -- never from museums, offices, mansions, and the like.



    My Corruptor is level 14, and so far he's...
    • Killed a traitor to a mob family
    • Turned a young heroine into a villain by planting false evidence about her parents' deaths
    • Captured innocent civilians for Vahizlok surgeons to use for body parts.
    • Smuggled drugs into Paragon City
    • Robbed several banks and casinos
    • Fought at least three different hero groups, plus security guards, police, and military.


    I was underwhelmed at the outset of the game -- the first few levels were pretty much CoH with a new paint job. But the criminal activity definitely picked up around level 6 or so. You're not always busting up the good guys, but there's ample opportunity for villainy.
  7. Re:Donations on TrekUnited Campaign Ends · · Score: 5, Informative
    Now they call off the battle and wow, look they are $144,173 richer.


    "Our final proposal was knocked down by Paramount. We will not see a season five for Star Trek Enterprise," wrote Jane Braz in a post at the Trek Fans United Forum, speaking on behalf of TrekUnited founder Tim Brazeal. The group said that it would begin refunding donations on Monday or Tuesday."
  8. Re:Please oh please push the reset button on Enterprise Finale Synopsis Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wish. It's set on the Enterprise-D (TNG season 7), not the Titan.

    I'm sure the makeup people were begging for time travel when Berman told them to make Riker and Troi look 11 years younger...

  9. Re:Interesting to note... on Smorgasbord of Iron Chef · · Score: 1

    If memory serves me right... the 2000th dish special originally aired in 1998, almost a year before the "boycott" episode.

  10. Easy solution... more live TV. on Big Ugly Dishes Grab Primetime Shows Early · · Score: 5

    "No, Homer. Very few cartoons are broadcast live, it's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists."
