  1. Re:New Add-Ons on The Sims 2 Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    But a game where you get to be a mundane human doing mundane things?

    hey trapping people in 1 square rooms and seeing them turn into an urn is NOT mundane.. at least not in real life.

    wait a minute...

  2. no richard? on Ultima Online X Rumored In Development? · · Score: 1

    I find it almost sad that an Ultima game isn't coming out without the man Richard Garriot. It's almost as if a Zelda game being developed by Namco.

  6. what the hell? on Microsoft to Buy Vivendi Games Division? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft buying a company[division]? I have never seen this before from them. I always thought their products and services were the best, making them a powerful entity.
    There are alternatives? What? I thought the XboX was the only video game system ever made. Don't tell me this! I dont wanna hear it!
    Go away!

  7. Re:Gak on Phantom Game Console · · Score: 1

    well according to this article here the xbox is at number 2 spot in europe... its not failing as miserably as some people would have predicted

  8. the cuecat on Slashback: :CueCat, Exercise, Wormage · · Score: 1

    .. it always seemed so sad to me.. just look at the logo. :{
    maybe because it was never used. at least it was fun "modding it" to uh.. "crack" the encryption scheme to output only numbers

  9. bike? on Games Controlled By An Exercise Bike · · Score: 1

    the only bike i'd want to ride is a PCJ while playing vice city. running people over virtually would really get rid of some unwanted stress.

  10. Re:Half this list is games! on Wired News: 2002's Greatest Vaporware · · Score: 1

    not gaming on a pc? thats vaporware in itself

  11. Re:Not very strange on Console Games Sales Beat Out PC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    pc gamers dont always have to wait. nor do console owners. Usually a game seems to come out for the system best suited for it. You typically see FPS's and RTS's come out for the pc and then the console, while a game like The Thing, which is more suited to a controller comes out for the console first then PC.

  12. this isnt really an old age simulator on Old Age Simulator · · Score: 2, Funny

    there should be an old age simulator...

  14. Dont take this the wrong way on Molecular Photography · · Score: 1

    but when would something like this be implemented? /end rhetorical question.. I've been a pc user using the same ol x86 forever now. Its like I'm stuck in the early 80s still. All this new technology is right here.. yet what most of us are really using is a highly clocked 386 with simd/3dnow/mmx/etc still. I dont mean to be a troll at all.. I just hope something will get rid of ye olde x86.. I've got stay positive

  15. smart phone? on Testing an Orange SPV 'Smartphone' · · Score: 5, Funny

    The smartest phone would be one that allows people to actually know how to drive while talking

  16. what a joke on The Sims Online & "Open Source" Gaming Models · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...in which "clans" emerge, "mods" can be added... online-gaming environments are fun places where dedicated "players" can show off and surprise one another.
    This "article" is so "well" written and obviously the "writer" is so well informed.
    But seriously, this article is so poor that it is almost a joke and should be taken lightly.. no need to get worked up

  17. Re:Now this angers me on The Sims Online & "Open Source" Gaming Models · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know.. a lot of us do.. I would have liked him to do more research on this instead of simply writing this article like he was still on the high school newspaper team

  18. Re:Failure? on The Sims Online & "Open Source" Gaming Models · · Score: 1

    The problem imo, is that nice ol joe 12pack clicks on the blue E without caring. Like he actually cares what brings him his yahoo.com, but as he gets educated about other alternatives and knows more about them, then he'd probably realize "hey these fuckin popups are burnin my ass, mozilla can fix it" or "man tabbed browsing is great for my pr0n". He doesnt know right away there are alternatives so I think there should be advertisements on billboards... maybe the mozilla lizard fighting a giant tux in tokyo... now thats quality

  19. Now this angers me on The Sims Online & "Open Source" Gaming Models · · Score: 1, Interesting

    How many of you use Mozilla as your Web browser? OK, both of you can put down your hands. Mozilla, you'll remember, was the super-cool open-source version of the Netscape browser that was going to take over the Web because thousands of programmers from around the world, all committed to building a better browser and countering the Microsoft behemoth, would pool their talents and create the greatest browser ever. More than four years later, Mozilla has generated far more press releases than products and has done nothing to help the Netscape browser retake any ground from Microsoft. This was one massively multiplayer project that never took off.

    Great Journalism Jimmy, quit breakin my balls here

    who says its for a lan party? I doubt it was made for lanners.. just get a mini pc. It's cheaper and you can put in the 9700

  24. hot damn on Smaller Than The Mini PC, The P4/2400 Micro PC · · Score: 1

    anybody have the modchip out for this console yet?

    oh wait...

  25. Doesnt M$ know? on Microsoft Shuts Down Lik Sang · · Score: 1

    There are less xboxes on the prowl than ps2's.... therefore people buy more ps2 modchips. So more people would (presumably) pirate more ps2 games,and Sony loses money, leaving the xbox alone, thus letting microsoft rake in more money..

    ok stupid theory but whatever, its microsoft bashing.
