  1. Re:pricing: on Starcraft 2 To Be a Trilogy · · Score: 1

    Damn, each unsubstantiated claim of retail price has built on the last one so far. First, it was $150 for all three. Then "the low, low price of $59.99 each" and now $65. If we keep this thread going, the price will grow so massive that it collapses in on itself and we can afford it again.

    I'll bite. What the hell is this a reference to?

  3. donttasemebro on Maryland Police Put Activists' Names On Terror List · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can somebody please explain to me why a man trying to form some sort of human connection with a man who's torturing and about to kill him is funny?

    I'm not saying it's *wrong* to make a joke of something like that or out of anything at all, I suppose. I guess I just don't see the irony in it. But go ahead, punish me for being Offtopic.

  4. Re:Inefficient on Couple Funds Honeymoon With Recyclables · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You've confronted people digging for through trash to find recyclables because they need the tiny amount of money they can get for them? I get the "they're trespassing on my private property to make a mess of my garbage" problem, but have a tiny bit of perspective here, man.

  5. Are You British or American? on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 1

    Much, perhaps most, dangerous driving by kids is caused by trying to show off to their mates.

    Are you talking about their girlfriends or their friends?

  6. Re:Fuck "sedition" on Malaysian Blogger On Trial For Sedition · · Score: 1

    Man, it's about time that countries which value free speech got rid of sedition laws

    Okay, but what about Malaysia?

  7. Re:Biomods on First Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    TFA says that DX2 will have 20 different biomods, some pretty far-out. If this is a "prequel", why didn't they exist in the "future"?

    I meant, of course, DX3. But a thought occurred to me on how they could make bioaugs both new and interesting (from the player's point of view) and older and less advanced (from the storyline point of view):

    Give players a choice of a bunch of (physical, visible) bioaugs that have serious disadvantages to them. Make it so that if you mount a fucking cannon on your head, you can't hide as effectively. Make it so that if you get cushy feet to make you move more quietly, you can't jump as high. And so on.

  9. Re:Biomods on First Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Yes, but lots of old-fashion bioauged people were still around. And your nano-augs were a lot more powerful than those.

  11. Re:soo hoping they wont ruin it like dx2 on First Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Same here. I play through DX1 once or twice a year.

  12. Re:soo hoping they wont ruin it like dx2 on First Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Agreed. The original formula worked so well. Why do they feel the need fuck it up? I think everyone would be thrilled with a Deus Ex sequel with a great new story and mostly the same gameplay (obviously the AI needs to be smarter and such).

    And speaking of DX1 with upgraded graphics, check out:

    High Definition Texture Pack
    supposedly very close to completion

    Deux Ex: Reborn (a UT2004 engine port)
    unknown if this'll ever get finished. i believe the creator put it on hold to help finish the HDTP

    Dear original creators of this project,
    This is why you don't use BSD-like licenses.

    This is, in fact, the least funny Onion News Network video I've yet seen. Why the hell was *it* chosen to be on Slashdot, if you're gonna show any?

    He fucked me with a rubber hose. And I liked it.

    I'm really confused about your whole post. Are you trying to insult me, or praise my non-existent brother? I mean, I'd be happy to have the ability to please willing people sexually with hoses. Why not?
