  1. Re:That's no moon! on Dropped Shuttle Toolbag Filmed From Earth · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If there was any one person singled out to blame for the Columbia disaster, it was Linda Ham:

    (for all you mods who thought that was insightful)

  2. Doom 3 Rocked! on id Software Announces Doom 4 · · Score: 1

    The environment created by ambient sounds and especially the radio chatter was excellent!

    I loved the story line.

    I would have liked to have saved some of the other survivors I found...

  3. Where Do You Draw the Line? on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Between "Insensitivity" and "Sensitivity" towards Islam (or any other creed)? According to many Muslim clerics, any number of things count as "insensitive" toward their religion:

    - allowing women to show their hair/face in public
    - allowing Israel to exist as a state
    - allowing non-believers to live

    Can't we all just get along?

  4. Leeches on U2's Manager Calls For Mandatory Disconnects For Music Downloaders · · Score: 1

    McGuiness is such a wanker. Once again, we see cries of foul play coming not from the artists, but from the parasites that depend on the artist for a living.

    He's almost as bad as Lars Ulrich

    :-P

  5. I'm sorry, My Son's too competitive :-( on Most Parents Don't Game With Their Kids · · Score: 1

    Please, please don't make me play one more song in Battle Mode on GH3....

    It's bad enough to loose my manhood to my 11yr old, now, even my 8yr old daughter is starting to kick my butt!

    I can't wait until Starcraft II comes out and I can reclaim the top rung of the gaming food chain in my house again!

  6. Dell Vostro on Replacing a Thinkpad? · · Score: 1

    I'm using one to type this post. It is pretty sweet!

  7. Prior art - Sponge on Pentagon Developed 'Laughing Bullets' · · Score: 1

    Or they were inspired by this episode of Sponge Bob:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rUygvs5rhg :-)

  8. Re:Meh, you could do worse, I suppose on Best Presidential Candidate for Nerds? · · Score: 1

    I think what you meant to say was:

    "From a purely pragmatic perspective, the "blue states" are a net negative on the treasury (they take in more federal money than they dole out in taxes). They're always trying to shove athiesm and moral relativism down our throat as well. Cut them loose and let them turn their population into a bunch of lazy whiners that can't get a job. We'll do just fine without them TYVM."

    Have a nice day.

  9. Ed Will Sue You and the Horse You Rode In On on Seven Tracks for 80s Guitar Hero Announced · · Score: 1

    So sorry, the king of rock guitar is not very big on licensing.

  10. Crossroads - Steve Vai and Ralph Maccio on Seven Tracks for 80s Guitar Hero Announced · · Score: 1

    The end scene where Ralphy Boy triumphs over evil (and Steve Vai) - That's one I want!

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090888/

    http://www.listal.com/video/166888

  11. SCO = NOKO on SCO Legally Assaults PJ of Groklaw · · Score: 2, Funny

    With SCO it has always been about tricks and delay.

    Dang! Now I see!

    Darl McBride is *actually* Kim Jong Ill!

    SCO is the USA shell corporation for NoKo!

    It all makes sense now...

  12. CPI Rocks on CPI Sues FCC Over U.S. Broadband Competition · · Score: 1

    Center for Public Integrity is the last bastion of real investigative journalism left in the US. You think any of the big Media outlets wanna piss-off the FCC with a story like this?

    Go get 'em CPI!!

  13. images.google.com has some pics on Home Theater Transformed Into Star Trek Bridge · · Score: 1
  14. Damn, I wanna be that guy! on Home Theater Transformed Into Star Trek Bridge · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...but not his server today.

  15. Look at the Bones!! on The Details of Dead Bodies in Gaming · · Score: 1

    Oh the humanity... deathmatching in Doom I was a hoot after a few rounds, and the bodies started piling up in the kill zones! Campers started having second thoughts too, when they got back to their spot and saw what a mess it was. Ah, good times...

  16. Re:Screw the games - I want History of the World 2 on Sequels We'd All Like To See · · Score: 1

    Mel owes us HOWPt2 first...

    "Hitler...on Ice!"

  17. Super Sprint on Sequels We'd All Like To See · · Score: 1

    The Atari racing game that was top-down oriented, and had 3-players at a shot on the same track.

    http://www.fraserking.co.uk/arcade/screenshots/sup er-sprint-3.png

    Heck, just port it to GameCube/Wii please!!

  18. Old News... on Oracle and Red Hat begin battle for the Enterprise · · Score: 1

    This was all settled in Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock.
    http://www.thefilmfrontier.com/images/trek03_050.j pg

    I guess you could say it ended in a draw...

  19. This won't help... on Fantasy Sports Turn to ... Politics? · · Score: 1

    No big surprise, too many citizens already treat civics like a big game. Partisan politics helps turn every election or vote into a contest of "them vs. us", instead of what it really should be: what's best for everyone.

    It's just one more indication of how broken our political system is, and how too many people treat it as a spectator sport, rooting for their "team" to win at any cost, instead of participating to achieve a common goal.

  20. 50 Books!! Who has time to read? on 50 Books for Everyone in the Games Industry · · Score: 1

    ... I've got to work on leveling up my Titan Quest character, and hit the next LAN party!

  21. TQ is a keeper on World Of Warcraft Crushing PC Game Industry? · · Score: 1

    I picked up Titan Quest because my son wanted a "Diablo-like" RPG, and we as parents wanted to keep him off line and in a T-rated game.

    It's very much a Diablo wannabe, but if that's what you're looking for, without a monthly subscription, I suggest checking it out.

  22. One More Reason to Pirate Movies on Cutting out the Naughty Bits Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1

    Since Hollywood won't give me what I want, and will sue any business into the ground that tries to, I am left with only one alternative: Download movies and edit them myself.

  23. I Vote For... on Jackson Comments On Gaming, Kong Sequel · · Score: 1

    a cage match between Kong, Mecha-Kong, and Ali G :-)

  24. Then agin, there are bills to pay on The Good and Bad of In-Game Ads · · Score: 1

    Insightful, perhaps. But also blissfully ignorant of reality.

    People need money to live. Advertisers will pay you to pimp their stuff. Smart advertisers will actually listen to people complaining about all the crass and crappy ads, and get wise, and be more subtle, more humourous, and less invasive. I'm betting most people will be willing to tolerate well-executed ads in games, if it means spending less (or no) money up front. Or even better, if it means a shot at some sort of shiny prize for them.

    "This secret level brought to you by Pepsi. Here's your iTunes download code. Have a nice day."

    Resistance is futile :-)

  25. Re:Film's Challenges... on More Delays for Ender Movie · · Score: 1

    ...this seems to dark for a CG movie.

    I heard they said the same thing about Madagascar...
