  1. Re:More Impressive on Nintendogs Sells Quarter of a Millions Units · · Score: 1

    They are talking about a game released after system launch. Halo was THE launch title for the Xbox. Almost nobody bought anything else, mainly because there were few other good games.

    Yeah, not sure what the stats are for Halo 2, though.

  2. Re:Sprites please! on Capcom May Be Prepping Street Fighter 4 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, of course all generalizations are wrong.

    I also played PowerStone 2. Great game. Bushido Blade is not my thing, though.

  3. Re:I'd get into making SWF games, but.. on Making A Fortune From Casual Games · · Score: 1

    mtasc.org returns me 404.

    It is just me?

  4. You mean I still have to pay... on New Xbox Live Pricing Revealed · · Score: -1, Troll

    for Xbox live, on top of the $400 dollars I will already have paid?

    So, the fully functional Xbox 360 is $460 US dollars?

    Ooooh, I see, I see, This is for the regular xbox. Not trying to spread FUD here, no sir.

  5. Sprites please! on Capcom May Be Prepping Street Fighter 4 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I hope they make it 2D, as the only good 3D fighter is Smash Bros Melee, and it is not in the same style as SF.

    Namco and Sega fanboys, your "fighting games" are not up to snuff to be compared with Capcom, Snk or Nintendo, so shut up.

  6. Just don't use Flash it is unless really needed! on Flash EULA Doesn't Fit the Times · · Score: 1

    The only justification is for some web games. Maybe.

  7. Just mention Castlevania... on The Heartbreak of Canceled Games · · Score: 2, Informative

    for Dreamcast, and you will have fanboys crying in seconds.

  8. Re:Science gone amuck again on Molecular Gastronomy, The Science of Cooking · · Score: 1

    I now see in my grocery store "organic milk", it is priced twice as expensive as the gallon of regular milk. The same thing is in produce, they have organic vegitables. What is this? 20 years ago everything was organic, now only the rich can get normal food. The rest of us must eat crap that has been genetically modified.

    Because 20 years ago we didn't have as many people as today. Also, Meat consumption has been increasing . Due to the second law of thermodynamics, to produce meat is more expensive than to produce vegetables, so an increase in meat consumption means A LOT less vegetables.

    So, the only way to keep up the food production so everybody eats is to genetically modify food, so it is more cost effective to produce it.

    "Natural" food is more expensive because we are more people, who are also eating more. If you want to eat "Natural" food, you have three options:

    -Shut up and pay more.
    -Plant your own stuff.
    -Go to live somewhere else, where life is cheaper. Which won't be effective for your whole life.

  9. Re:loads of oils, creams, butter and mayo on Molecular Gastronomy, The Science of Cooking · · Score: 1

    You just made my day. How funny!

  10. Re:loads of oils, creams, butter and mayo on Molecular Gastronomy, The Science of Cooking · · Score: 1

    You should still consult some knowledgeable chef, because nutritionist just want us to eat soy meat and carrots, and nothing of the stuff that actually tastes well (because, it probably it is bad for us).

  11. Yeah, it's a gimmick! on Sony Describes DS As Gimmick · · Score: 5, Funny

    That is why the PSP, the superior product, is outselling the DS worldwide...

    Wait a minute...

  12. They should have made it online since day one... on Metroid Prime Hunters Will Go Online · · Score: 1

    And not try to include the feature at the last minute.

    Still, I prefer it with online support, than not. So I will wait.

  13. Re:knowledge is power on New Round of P2P Lawsuits from Hollywood · · Score: 2, Funny

    That{s why we need (and for other reasons) Creative Commons Pr0n.

  14. Re:In Other News... on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    The link redirects me to the main page of the forum.

    instructions?

  15. Re:In Other News... on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    Too bad. Seems you're missing out on the Masterpiece that is Batman Begins. If you plan to see one other movie this year, make it Batman Begins! You will not be disappointed!;

    I think you are A LITTLE biased about this movie.

    (hint: look at your username!)

  16. Re:FPS is not the only genre that matters... on The Maturation of Video Games · · Score: 1

    Really. I played those games and, while good, are not as good as Sonic 1

  17. FPS is not the only genre that matters... on The Maturation of Video Games · · Score: 1

    ... By the time console gamers were wowed by Sonic The Hedgehog's 64-colour world, computer gamers were already familiar with zooming across galaxies, building cities and landing virtual planes. The 486 ran at 66 mHz and had the capability to create 3D texture maps. 16-bit consoles, which ran at 7 mHz, could not replicate a game as impressive-looking, innovative and as huge as Doom.

    The other side of the coin is that computers weren't able to replicate a great platformer like Sonic for a long time after Doom.

  18. Re:Bad timing? on Retro Gaming Gains A Savior? · · Score: 1

    Nintendo does go after "pirate" consoles every once in a while, but these are systems with Nintendo software pre-installed on them. They always carefully word their press releases so that it looks like the console itself is illegal, though, and the media usually plays along. It's a scare tactic.


    If the console contains Nintendo software preinstalled, the console IT IS illegal, not just some dark PR move by Nintendo. It is not a scare tactic.

  19. Well, that will make things easier... on The Milky Way is Not a Spiral? · · Score: 1

    For the psicohistorians. No clues about where the Second Foundation is, based on the form of the galaxy.

  20. $100 is expensive for all that. on Xbox360 Pricing, 2 Models at Launch · · Score: 1

    A wireless controller of first quality TODAY (the Wavebird) is worth $20. A Hard Disk is worth what? $40?

    The headset another $10. I can't believe they are counting the Ethernet cable in the offer. That should be free.

    MS will make a lot of money from this "offer"

  21. Re:Our standard enterprise stack these days on Choice of Language for Large-Scale Web Apps? · · Score: 0

    I know that yes, you have to change a couple of files to get a new field (the jsp to display it/enter it, a java bean to move it around, and an hibernate config file, at least), but they all are small changes. Almost any other framework will make you change even more things.

    Yes, RoR is the best thing around, but, come on, Spring isn't bad. It is actually pretty fast. I always have around a blank web application that I can hack around as much as I want, so I have something running almost instanstly.

  22. If they can't do it until... on DS Wifi Bounty Set · · Score: 1

    Nintendo releases their first online title, will the bounty go to the already very rich Nintendo?

  23. It doesn't look sucky! on V For Vendetta Trailer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The trailer actually gives me hope, as it portrays some importants scenes from the comic, as the take over of the tv channel, the torture of evey, and her under the rain.

  24. Re:Stupid on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 2, Funny



    What do you propose, to ban parents?!
