  1. Re:Silly... on Activision's GUN Misfires With Native Americans · · Score: 1

    Actually, in GUN, you are on the opposite side as the Native Americans at first, but by the end of the game your character allies with them. There's more to it than that, but it could be considered spoilers.

  2. Re:I always thought the reason was on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    WC3 and Starcraft use the Apple/Command key as a right click modifier, so that control can be used for unit group hotkeys across both platforms.

  3. Re:Mice on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    It's not. The OS and all the applications are designed to make right/control clicking unnecessary. When you have only one button, it encourages simplicity in software design.

  4. Re:Mice on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is absolutely no reason for my mother to attempt to understand quantum physics. There are plenty of reasons for her to use a computer. Bad comparison.

  5. Re:Battery life won't matter to the Sony devoted on Sony Says PSP Battery Life is Shorter than Quoted · · Score: 1

    http://ps2.ign.com/mail/2004-11-01.html

    I give you, the Sony devoted.

    Be warned that the page linked to above contains statements of grpahic stupidity.

  6. Re:WTF on Super Monkey Ball Deluxe Announced · · Score: 1

    This is an advertisement? Did it not occur to you that some of us might like to know that a Gamecube favorite is coming to PS2 and Xbox?

  7. Re:I Love Bees has been great on I Love Bees Coming to an End · · Score: 1

    Gemini here. I had been reading, but didn't get past the morons and the semantics discussions the first time.

  8. Re:Bittorrent... on Halo 2 Available on the Net · · Score: 1

    A true Halo fan wouldn't want to play the damn thing in French for the first time.

  9. Re:Saw it in Walmart last night on Donkey Konga Bundle Pack Announced · · Score: 3, Informative

    You mean, the bundle with the Gamecube included, or one with just the bongos and the game? Because the bundle with the bongos and the game is the only way to get the game at this point.

  10. Re:Word of Mouth on Anatomy of a LAN Party? · · Score: 5, Funny

  11. Re:Ad blocking == bad on Interview with Camino Developer Mike Pinkerton · · Score: 1

    [i]Yes, because you live in some magickal world where the browser fairy takes you to unwanted sites and fills your screen with advertisements.[/i]

    You mean he uses IE on a PC?

  12. Re:sony's should just keep quiet on Sony PSP Hardware Completed · · Score: 1

    What the hell, the games are dark? Didn't Sony use an original GBA ever? The peoples, they didn't like that too much.

  13. Hard drive? on Will Xbox2 Be Backward Compatible? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If this is true, then MS would probably be forced to include a hard drive in the new system in some form, whether it's built in or a removeable one. Some games use it for caching, and most companies don't bother to optimize Xbox save files for size since size is no object on an Xbox.

  14. Re:Unlikely on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    There's always the eMac for $999 with a Superdrive.

  15. Re:More Valve Bullshit. on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    This is retarded. Quality aside, anyone who thinks Half-Life 2 wouldn't sell a few million copies in the first week needs to pull their head out of their asses.

  16. Re:Motion Sickness an Issue? on Play Halo at the Movies · · Score: 1

    Halo is a fairly slow paced game as far as FPS games go. I can't imagine playing something crazy fast like Timesplitters 2 on a projector.

  17. Re:VPC6 runs iTunesWin just fine on Virgin Accuses Apple of Abusing Monopoly · · Score: 1

    iTunes PC only runs on 2000 and XP.

  18. Re:Games becoming more like work on Atlus Readies Stylus-Based Surgery Game For DS · · Score: 1

    It's backward compatible with GBA games, but not older Game Boy/Color ones.

  19. Re:Takeover??? on iTunes For Linux, Thanks To CodeWeavers · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure #2 is "Sell songs." in this case. Not too difficult, this one.

  20. Re:Finally!!! on iTunes For Linux, Thanks To CodeWeavers · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you make the "Part of a Compilation" option "Yes" then it puts all the songs in a folder of the album's name under the folder Compilations.

  21. Re:Overpriced on More Classic NES Titles For GBA Announced · · Score: 4, Informative

    The NES Classic series is only $20 each. Still too much, though.

  22. Re:Two Screen == Gimmick? on Famitsu Weighs In On Battle Between DS And PSP · · Score: 2, Informative

    [i]
    Have you tried using a STYLUS to play Far Cry? There's a significant difference between a stylus and a mouse. If there wasn't and they were the same thing, than Nintendo would've had a player using the stylus to control Metroid DS, not the pad.[/i]

    Well, that's exactly what they did. You move forward and back and left and right with the pad, lock on with L, and look around with the stylus. Weapons are selectable on the edges of the screen. Thanks for playing though.

  23. Re:Safari on Mozilla Project Officially Releases Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 1

    This has always worked by default for me, but I've never tried the OS X version extensively.

  24. Re:Less is More on Miller, Wright, Mechner Discuss Videogame Graphics · · Score: 1

    What is this secret voting crazyness? Have I not seen it since I've only played with two people?

  25. Re:SeGa! on Sega Studios To Be Amalgamated In Sammy Merger · · Score: 1

    They have this on the Sonic Advance games.

    However, if I booted up Monkey Ball 3 and it was all Midi-tastic and said "SE-GA" it'd be awesome.
