  1. Re:Through the gates of hell... on Monkey Island To Return · · Score: 1

    Wallace and Gromit.

  2. Re:This sucks on Left 4 Dead 2 Announced For November · · Score: 1

    I shudder to think how much money I've spent on Galaga over the years...

  3. Re:This sucks on Left 4 Dead 2 Announced For November · · Score: 1

    I still play L4D for at least 3-4 hours a week, it's a better way to meet people online than Uno.

  4. Re:Whats so great about that game. on Left 4 Dead 2 Announced For November · · Score: 1

    The game is pretty shortlived as a single player campaign, multiplayer is where it shines. Splitscreen is pretty good but online with random people is awesome.

  5. Re:I hate this new trend in gaming on Microsoft Debuts Full-Body Controller-less Gaming At E3 · · Score: 1

    I agree, if I wanted to flap my arms around like a wounded turkey I'd buy a Wii. It's nice to have this as an optional extra for certain games, but you'll take my gamepad over my rotten corpse.

  6. Re:it's why Windows took over in the first place on Harsh Words From Google On Linux Development · · Score: 1

    I don't know what you're talking about, I've got Loki games from 2000/01 which work perfectly on my current system.

  7. Re:Hell yeah on Church of Scientology On Trial In France · · Score: 1

    I personally don't give a shit what people believe in, I have no agenda against religious people. But who are you to decide what is religion and what is not?

  8. Re:Hell yeah on Church of Scientology On Trial In France · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I agree, now when are the other organized religions going to be outlawed?

  9. Subconscious absorption. on When Does Gore Get In the Way of Gameplay? · · Score: 1

    Your subconscious is now so desensitized to gore and violence that it is filtering it out from your perception. You are now warped.

  10. Re:Download and play or buy and wait on Terminator Salvation Game Launched, PC Version Recalled · · Score: 5, Insightful

    the entire QA process that any competent business would undertake.

    What, like the one outlined in the story? Shipping a busted installer doesn't sound too competent to me...

  11. Re:The game is fine; public opinion needs fixing on Age of Conan, One Year On · · Score: 1

    That's business; deliver or GTFO, don't expect favours from paying customers.

  12. Re:And this will help adoption rates and piracy ho on Dell Indicates Windows 7 Pricing Will Be Higher · · Score: 1

    I don't believe Vista is new coke, it is a product of Microsoft's hubris.

  13. Re:Maybe it's just me... on Left 4 Dead SDK Beta Released · · Score: 1

    L4D is more akin to Gauntlet than a survival/horror zombie shooter, zombies are a good scenario but there is plenty of gaming abstraction.

  14. Re:Huzzah. on Team Fortress 2 Update To Bring Maps, Sniper and Spy Upgrades · · Score: 1

    I bought a 360 because of the excellent live service; people are far less likely to glitch, grief and hack if there's money on the line. The good and bad people you flag also propagates to all games you play, meet someone cool on TF2 and play gears with them etc. Meet a griefer and avoid them for all games.

    360 also has a hard drive, for updates.

  15. Re:Casual multiplayer game? on BioShock 2 Multiplayer Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    Bioshock is an arcade shooter with a touch more depth than most. There are plenty of RPG games servicing what you describe.

  16. Re:Are the slashdot editors getting desperate? on MS, Intel "Goofed Up" Win 7 XP Virtualization · · Score: 1

    What's your beef, that Microsoft's OS doesn't stand up under light of day? All of the listed items are facts which contradict MS' PR spin:

    - Windows 7 is secure says Microsoft. That's what they told us about Vista, but still makes the same fundamental mistakes.
    - Windows 7 is fast and suitable for netbooks says Microsoft. No it's not.
    - Windows 7 will allow you to virtualize your legacy apps. If your lucky.

    This is a news website and facts that contradicts MS' FUD or spin is news to me. If you don't like it don't come here.

  17. Re:Good for routers? on Oracle Won't Abandon SPARC, Says Ellison · · Score: 1

    Fast CPU doesn't mean fast system.

  18. Re:100 miles to the nearest commuter train, on Your Commuting Costs By Car Vs. Train? · · Score: 1

    My bike has 9-speed cassette too, riding through Sydney rain, crud and traffic. I make a point of keeping it all clean and adjusted.

  19. Re:100 miles to the nearest commuter train, on Your Commuting Costs By Car Vs. Train? · · Score: 1

    I commute 8000KM per year in Sydney,spent $2000 on an appropriate commuting bike. In the 16000KM I've had my current bike I haven't changed the chain or cluster because I keep them well lubed, even if they were sloppy it wouldn't matter. I expect to get lifetime from the steel frame.

    I think you should change to a different bike shop, preferably one that sells Surly.

  20. Re:Integrating your personal music into the game? on Apple Racks Up the Gaming Patents · · Score: 1

    I recently bought an xbox to play L4D and was pleasantly suprised by the integrated music player, also the divx stuff. They don't really promote it.

  21. Re:The problem isn't GLIBC. It's Ulrich Drepper. on Debian Switching From Glibc To Eglibc · · Score: 1

    Theo also fixes bugs.

  22. Re:trade innovation for commoditization? on Basic Linux Boot On Open Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    Open standard means that if I were willing to cough for fabrication, I could do a run of Sparc without worrying about ISA IP. Can you do that PPC or AMD64?

  23. Re:You mean like the Xbox? on Apple Snags Former Xbox Exec · · Score: 1

    Aside from the fucked quality control, xbox is a pretty good product.

  24. Re:priority? on Quake Live Dev Says Mac and Linux Are "Top Priority" · · Score: 1

    I've bought every id game because they port to Linux. They've made a few bucks off me, times that by a few others and perhaps it's worthwhile.

  25. Re:trade innovation for commoditization? on Basic Linux Boot On Open Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    Aside from being an awesome arch, Sparc is an open standard.
