    Finally, Ben Affleck finds a part that suits his acting talent.

  2. Re:Why are game companies bitching? on Game Software Sales Reach $7.3B in 2004 · · Score: 1

    Game developers are complaining about not making enough money. Publishers are quite satified. Especially if the publisher is named 'EA'

  3. Re:Oh yeah, Sega on Sega Done with Sports, Take-Two Launches Label · · Score: 1

    I think he means that Sega is the new old Apple. You know, when Jobs wasn't there.

  4. You know who has to stop? on Game Companies Prepare for Next Console War · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. Stop producing more, and more expansive to develop for consoles. Actually that's not truly fair. They are, at least partially, hardware companies.

    What actually needs to stop is developers and publishers getting a hard on everytime a new console comes out and jumping on the bandwagon. It takes a couple of years to get used to developing to a new platform. It's just the nature of the beast. Developers are adapting to the new hardware, seeing what they can do. Little innovation takes place in this phase, because developers are already try something new, the hardware, the graphics. Once that has been figured out, developers can (though unfortunately they don't always) then push other boundaries such as new and different gameplay. That's why a majority of what innovative games there are happen 3+ years after a console has been released.

    The problem is now, a next-gen console gets released after 4 years, roughly. Like sheep, developers follow the hardware companies to the new console, instead of sticking to a stable, easier to develop platform. Where they can continue to push technical, but even more importantly creative boundaries.

    What developers need to do, as a bloc, is say 'No' to the new consoles. 'We're not ready to change yet' And the big developers and publishers need to realize this to. They have more clout and actually make the hardware companies change what they are doing. There needs to be wake up call in the industry. Yes, its partially the developers fault for the lack of innovation, and publishers also share the guilt, but it's hard for developers to explore the field of possibilities when the hardware companies keep pulling them forward.

  6. Fight Spam with Spam! Spam Spam Spam on Spamfighting Since the Death of MakeLoveNotSpam? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've been spamming the spammy spammers with my anti-spammer spammer. My spam scripts is well suited to spamming spammy spammers with spam. Spaming spammers is the best way to get them to stop spamming. Infact sometimes I use other spammer's spam to spam the spammers.

    Now I'm off to eat my breakfast of spam, eggs, bacon, and spam.

  11. Perhaps Google is looking for guys like you. on Google's Math Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Personnally, if I was Google, if anyone could provide an answer that worked and why, I would give that person serious consideration for employment. Just people the monkeys in the math room came up with one answer, doesn't mean I ignore those who can prove that it can be something else. Then again I'm not Google so there is no way for me to know what they are looking for, but I'm thinking they are just looking for math-minded out-the-box thinkers.

    I resent that. We do not say anything resembling "G'day mate" nor do we wrestle alligator.

    Besides, I'm not... well i know people who i'm pretty sure are NOT criminals.

    From what I remember Eric Harris had horribly apathetic parents. Sure they didn't beat the crap of the kid, but they weren't exactly helpful, either.

    You know for for the most part, Star Wars games are pretty damn good. There are exceptions I know, but considering how many Star Wars games there were, it is still an accomplishment.

    I vote for candidates based on their merit, not what party's ticket they run on. Just because someone who runs says they are a Libertarian doesn't mean they get my vote. Third party candidates can be just as full of shit as their counterparts in the larger parties.
