  1. Fun is key, not newness. on LucasArts Officially Announces KOTOR II · · Score: 1

    Just because a game has a sequel doesn't mean there are new and different things in it.

    But irregardless, if the game is fun, it is fun even if there is nothing new.

  2. Re:FFXI on MMOG Subscription Winners, Losers Analyzed · · Score: 1

    Two things

    1) Thats probably not 1 million players because people can have multiple chars.

    2) Even so, that still means more $$$ for square because each additional char costs another buck even if you don't use it all month.

  3. Re:FFXI on MMOG Subscription Winners, Losers Analyzed · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Most of your assumptions are wrong, probably due to the fact that you only played for one month.

  4. Re:Obvious Omition on MMOG Subscription Winners, Losers Analyzed · · Score: 1

    Good point since its been out longer than some of the games on his 'worldwide' section and has a larger worldwide % than EQ.

  5. What I really want to know is..... on 2003 CD Sales Officially Down 7.6 Percent · · Score: 1

    How many CD releases there were this year compared to last.

    If there were 10% less CD releases than last year, this is a 2.4% improvement.

    Without knowing the percentage difference in released albums, this article is meaningless.

  6. Re:Detection/Removal instructions? on PhatBot Trojan Spreading Rapidly On Windows PCs · · Score: 1

    and you don't see how srvhost.exe and svchost.exe are similar?

  7. Re:Idea? on PhatBot Trojan Spreading Rapidly On Windows PCs · · Score: 1

    The physical barrier could be a key switch, of course you'd still have retard users who leave the key in insecure mode.

    Perhaps a push button that requires you to hold it down during an update.

  8. Re:Nitpick about Mortal Kombat on Pro Gamer Fatal1ty Talks Tactics, Endorsements · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming he meant in vs. mode.

    Back in college we always had people queued up along whatever arcade fighter was popular at the time.

  9. The who??? on MMO Guild Gets Corporate Sponsorship? · · Score: 1

    For the oldest and largest guild in mmorpg'dom, the 15 random MMORPGers I asked had never heard of em.

  10. Re:High quality videos on Season 2 Premiere of Red vs Blue · · Score: 1

    One minor correction, they have taken down season 1 temporarily, but will restore it after their traffic levels out.

  11. Re:High quality videos on Season 2 Premiere of Red vs Blue · · Score: 1

    Not insulting at all, especially with a rampant slashdotting of their site going on.

    Especially since you're berating him for wanting something they GIVE AWAY FREE. All their past episodes are still available, AND on bittorrents for the most part that rvb links to to save their own bandwidth.

  12. Re:Game Copy X=Ripoff on Games X Copy Stirs Backup Controversy · · Score: 1

    Non-standard synonym for regardless if you'd ever bothered with a dictionary.

  13. Re:Game Copy X=Ripoff on Games X Copy Stirs Backup Controversy · · Score: 1

    Which dictionary lists the term "flooberschnizzle"?

    Irregardless is a word, because it has meaning, is used by people in spoken and written English and has been catalogued by Dictionary companies as being an English word. I doubt your "flooberschnizzle" has the same background.

  14. Re:Game Copy X=Ripoff on Games X Copy Stirs Backup Controversy · · Score: 0

    "Isn't a word. Stop using it."

    Irregardless is a word. Stop saying it isn't. It might not be standard English usage, but at least use the correct terminology when you decide to play grammar Nazi.

  15. Re:So far, the high rated comments are astonishing on Extinctions Due to Global Warming Predicted · · Score: 1

    Not to mention as you get more warm air, you get more evaporation and a higher humidity.

  16. Re:Not likely ..... As long as Hemp is illegal on The End of the Oil Age · · Score: 1

    Hemp illegal because it resembles marijuna?

    Hrm which does it resemble Cannabis Sativa or Indica. Because both can be processed and smoked, and both are considered hemp.

  17. Which is good.... on 10th Circuit Says FTC Can Enforce Do Not Call · · Score: 2, Insightful

    because no such law was passed.

    The Law says the government enforces my telling them they can't talk to me.

  18. Re:"Jigga" what? on Computer Makers Sued Over Hard Drive Size · · Score: 1

    Minor pedantry, people who say jiggabyte aren't mispronouncing it. They're using an equally acceptable, albeit less used, pronunciation.

  19. Re:CD based MP3 players on Samsung Yepp YP-55V Review · · Score: 2, Interesting

    FYI, thats 180 seconds of Audio CD shake buffer. Its like 8 megs of ram, or 480 seconds of MP3 shake buffer. Quite frequently the disk will stop spinning and it plays from the buffer.

    The guy above who said 'they can't hardly take much shaking' doesn't know what he was talking about.

  20. Re:Garbage on Osirusoft Blacklists The World · · Score: 1

    Erm....lets try this again....

    You:"What the Fsck is he supposed to do, drop it silently and then continue to get hammered by 100,000 queries an hour? "

    Me:"According to NANAE retards he should get a new ISP/IP address"

    You:"Well that's because your spam-spewing-supporting ISP won't get off their spammer-paid ass to DO something about the problem, thus LANDING you on the list in the first place."

    In case you hadn't noticed, I said nothing about ME getting a new ISP/IP address, I was answering your 'WTF is he supposed to do' question. I've never had my email rejected by any blackhole list.

  21. Re:Garbage on Osirusoft Blacklists The World · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually according to standard NANAE retards, he should find a new isp and/or get a new ipaddress.
