  1. If not me, then someone else... on Ants... In... Space · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Save the Queen!

    Who's the Queen?!

    I'm the Queen!!

    No, you're not.

  2. oh the humanity on Rise of the Triad Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    This game came (shareware) with the duke3d retail bundle. To all those who have played this game, I've got two words for you.

    Drunk Missles.

    Try running from those, Nazi.

  3. Isn't this just on A Twisty Maze Of Sewerbot Links, All Different · · Score: 1

    ...another crude attempt by those crappy life insurance companies to get the elderly to invest in "Robot Insurance"?

    Grandma: You're never safe, what with those robots around! Stealing your medication and running up your long distance minutes!

  4. Re:as cheap as older pentium machines are on Ultima 7 in Windows? · · Score: 1

    Well, I had a P-120 with 32 megs of RAM, and still had to sacrifice my firstborn to get this thing to play on it...I made it work, but with serious memory management tweaking. T'was hardly worth the effort. I'd rather play Ultima4 with Mo'Slo.

  5. suicide scherzo on 24 Hours Of Beethoven's 9th Symphony · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yet another way to get little Alex to try to off himself, O my brothers.

  6. No Time!!! on More Fun Than You Can Shake A Stick At · · Score: 1

    I'm still patiently awaiting Parappa III!
    Punch Punch Chop!
    My spelling --Bad.
    My point being, is this any different than Parappa, with bells, whistles, and a conspicuous lack of vibrating device?

  7. Instead... on NASA Cancels Moon Hoax Book · · Score: 1

    Simthers has been ordered to release the Buzz Aldrin robot.

  8. Illegal? on Making and Detecting Illegal Music · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pac-Man Fever should have been illegal. They dropped the ball on that 15 years ago, however.

  9. So that's why on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 1

    Christopher Reeve regained some movement. Someone must put a stop to this nonsense. Better him than any of us, I say.

  10. Re:Free? on The Porn Of Napster · · Score: 1

    Isn't this already a problem with usenet? Say, for instance, scans of various magazines, or copies of "legitimate" porn sites .jpgs get distributed on usenet (as happens regularly...so I've been told :) ). These images are all copyrighted. So what difference does p2p make, if it's all just file sharing, anyway?

  11. Re:Technobabble... on Star Trek: Pick A Plot · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that Reading Rainbow does get confusing, sometimes.

  12. 21ct.gooddays.org on What (And Where) Are The Classic Free Games? · · Score: 1

    This site is devoted to the games of the good old days. It even has Legend of Zelda ported to windows from the NES. If anything, it's good for a read, I was lost on this site for hours.

  13. Re:Poor Sam! on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 1

    "A new introduction of loyal Hobbit Sam Gamgee"

    Please, keep it clean!

    We don't need another rehash of the homo-erotic bs that has started some of the worst and most moronic debates ever to blight the Web.

    Besides, they go down as Worst Thread Ever!

  14. Poor Sam! on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 1

    "A new introduction of loyal Hobbit Sam Gamgee"

  15. Previous discussions... on Fake Light Sabers Making Real Cash · · Score: 1

    If I recall, there's a guy here who owns one, also, discussions with the proprietors over strength,(you will spar, won't you?) and oh so many other details. http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?q=Y& a=tpc&s=50009562&f=34709834&m=5760901974&p=1

  16. Re:So? on Internet Routes Around South African Gov't · · Score: 1

    Sounds like (ahem) the CIA factbook's site. (kidding!)

  17. Re:Not so rare on Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down · · Score: 1

    Also, the unused portions of the bridge to Key West were destroyed in the making of "True Lies". And all of us here in Milwaukee look on with pride whilst watching the Blues Brothers in the final car chase over our (still in construction at the time) Marquette Interchange. Throw the cash, you get whatever you want, I guess.

  18. they're already military nuclear technicians... on In Space, No One Knows You Read Vogue · · Score: 1

    Yeah, didn't Dan Aykroyd get it on with one of them in "Spies Like Us"? And hell, that was what, 10 or so years ago? So it's only natural that they're going to space now. WHEE!

  19. Douglas Adams had a good idea... on Manned Mars Mission Some Way Off · · Score: 1

    Send the Telemarketers, telephone repair-people, door-to-door knife/luggage/vaccuum cleaner salesfolk, Sally Struthers, George Lucas, Jehovas Witnesses, Best Buy computer department employees, boy bands, send them all up. That way, all of our most (ahem) precious occupations will have a go there on the Red Planet. (Oh, yes, send the producers of that movie up, too.)
    The trick would be getting them all into one ship without them killing each other.

  20. Re:Older Final Fantasy on Review: Final Fantasy X · · Score: 1

    I also liked the older ones, although I do find myself playing FFVII now and then. However, with my lack of patience for the battle system, I probably look more like I'm playing "Track and Field" on the old NES than any RPG. Having to sit through the summonings is brutal. Can't there just be a MAIM spell and get it over with?

  21. Re:How are they getting those shots? on More Final Fantasy Bits · · Score: 1

    Use babelfish and translate it.

  22. Re:elves on The Hype of the Rings · · Score: 1

    I apologize that I do not have the books on me right now, but I believe that after the hobbits escape the shire, they are watched over by a group of elves travelling somewhere. I remember that it was Sam Gamgee's first sighting of an Elf, and there is some detail there, though it is only a general overview through the eyes of a Hobbit.

  23. Re:"mutant" on Mutant Tetrachromat Females Found · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the use of the term is for the benefit of certain geno-geeks hoping for X-men type "Mutant Registration", thus getting themselves a list of conveniently female-only potentials. Practical!

  24. Re:Wolverine deserves his own film! on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    Easy part to play? I, for one, would find it difficult to be suspended by my balls twisted up all beans-and-franks in a bungee cord.

    Ow.

  25. Re:those silly penguins on Slashback: life-support, petrol, gender, tunes · · Score: 1

    Or some poor unsuspecting kind soul swims out to find our little friends, only to swim into the ferocious maw of (duuh-duuh) A Man-and-Penguin-Eating Shark! Lo! The humanity!

    oh well. Maybe this soul came of the Rainbow Warrior, which just attempted to board a Russian frigate. Serves 'em right. If the Russians didn't get them, then the sharks might as well.
