  1. Re:No. on Do Gamers Really Need HDTV? · · Score: 1

    The picture on our Zenith got more and more squished until it finally died.

    Nowadays I'm very happy playing my Atari 2600 on my 36' Wega ;)

  2. That's what the... on Do Gamers Really Need HDTV? · · Score: 1

    ...Trance Vibrator is for!

  3. What if I don't use my finger? on Nintendo and Microsoft in Suit Over Controller Patents · · Score: 1

    including an analog sensor for creating a varying analog value according to varying depression applied by a finger of a human user to the analog sensor.

    Ha! I'm using my thumb!

  4. Right behind Andy's tombstone... on Don't Go Down Memory Lane? · · Score: 1

    ...type 'idpac' (for peperony and chease) to open the cave with the BFG hidden in it.

  5. 1+1=1 ?!? on Celebrating Puzzles · · Score: 1

    A=B=1
    A^2=AB
    A^2-B^2=AB-B^2
    (A-B)(A+B)=B(A-B)
    (A+B)=B
    B+B=B
    1+1=1

    Right? :p

  6. GBC Super Mario Bros DX had it! on How America Changed the Mario Brothers · · Score: 1

    Article mentions the SNES All-Stars cart having the Lost Levels on it, with different graphics, but Lost Levels (with close to original graphics) was also an unlockable on the Gameboy Color Super Mario Bros DX cartridge.

  7. Portal for the C64 was pretty good... on Now You're Thinking With Portals · · Score: 1

    ...though it was more of an interactive novel than any sort of 3D game :p

  8. Our founding fathers would have approved... on Broadcast Flag Sneaking in the Back Door · · Score: 1

    ...or at least some of them, including Jefferson would have. He never envisioned our government in it's current form lasting so long, that it would be redone in X number of years.

    Problem is that if you simply sunset legislation, the government would just gear up towards continually putting things back in place, which would just waste a lot of time/resources. Imagine the same old crap plus half of their time spent reintroducing the stuff that's just expired (or just about to.)

  9. Maybe right/click on the links... on Wii-mote In Action · · Score: 1

    ...that say Downloadable Movies (Quicktime) ?

  10. 12.5? on Pricing For Retro Games on the Wii · · Score: 1

    Not really, do you realize just how many Zelda games there are now?

    NES: Legend of Zelda & The Adventures of Link (also on the GBA, GC)
    Game & Watch: Zelda (also in G&W Gallery 4/Advance)
    CDI: The Wand of Gamelon
    GB: Link's Awakening, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons & The Minish Cap
    SNES: A Link To The Past
    N64: Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask (also on GC)
    GC: Ocarina of Time & Four Swords Adventures


    Even if you toss out the CDI and G&W titles, that's still 10 games, $3-$5 each fpr a $30-$50 collection.

    Oh, and there's the hard version of Ocarina of Time (N64 and GC) :p

  11. Wind Waker + Bonus Disc... on Pricing For Retro Games on the Wii · · Score: 1

    Those who pre-ordered Wind Waker came close to this, and that was less than $30.

  12. Indiana Jones! on Nintendo Learns from Mistakes with GameCube · · Score: 1

    "You throw me the idol, I throw you the Wiip!"

  13. Ha! on Windows Media Player 11 and Urge · · Score: 1
    My Zen Nano Plus has an audio-in for exactly this sort of situation!

    Records for sure! :p

  14. Wii wants Die By The Sword on LucasArts Shows Interest In Wii Lightsaber Game · · Score: 1

    They could just rip-off the engine in Die By The Sword in actual sword movement mode (using the wiimote instead of the mouse) and it'd be fantastic!

  15. Re:YouTube I find is limited on YouTube Founders Interviewed · · Score: 1

    You can grab the files from your browser cache, rename to .FLV and download an FLV player to view them with.

  16. Para Para... Wii-adise? on Resident Evil, Game On With Wii · · Score: 1

    Seems like two wiimotes would be a purfect fit for this game.

  17. Gamefest: Forgotten Realms $1.25 and up on Amazon. on Abandoned Games · · Score: 1

    All of the Eye of the beholder games can be found for less than the cost of shipping if you search for "Gamefest: Forgotten Realms" on Amazon... ...and they all run great under DOSBox!

  18. REZ was mentioned! on Games That Defined The Dreamcast · · Score: 1

    ...in the article itself, no less! (See the section on imports)

    Having copies of Rez for both systems, I'd have to say that while the Dreamcast version looks a bit better (that anti-aliasing helps a lot with all those lines!) the PS2 version does run more smoothly (and has support for that vibrator thingy, which sounds silly, but when you've got the controller and the trance vibrator beating along with sound from the game, it's pretty cool...)

  19. Tree Wave did this with a dot-matrix printer... on Scanjet Music · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...some time ago.

    Check them out here

  20. Re:Wow, way to miss the point everyone on 'Games Are Not Art' - The Fault of Game Journalists · · Score: 1

    Who would read such garbage?

    Apparently I would.

    I subscribe to Computer Music which has a section where they critique user submitted songs based on their technical/production merits, which at least to me makes for an interesting read, especially as the songs are included on a DVD which comes with each issue of the magazine.

    There are also sites like DVD Journal which mostly focuses on the technical side of DVD releases.

  21. Board games...? on 'Games Are Not Art' - The Fault of Game Journalists · · Score: 1

    But there are none that are masterpieces. None that will still be enjoyed by our grandchildren, and mentioned in schoolbooks. And until there are, he's right. I'm not saying it's _impossible_ that there could be such a thing, just that there isn't right now.

    If you look at a close cousin to video games, i.e. board games, we already have a few that span more generations than film, games such as Go and Chess. We even have some modern board games that have been played by generations like Monopoly.

    I'd be willing to bet there well be some video games that will be played for generations to come, but they may not be classics. Games like Tetris or Bejeweled (or clones) or who knows, maybe The Sims 843 with add-on packs! :p

  22. For werewolf violence against the U.S. ... on Apple to Replace Faulty Nano Screen · · Score: 1

    ... I do believe that Mark H. Walker is your man.

  23. Revolution X? on Revolution GunCon Concepts · · Score: 2, Funny

    Revolution X

    I could just see it happening...

  24. Which boardgame do you prefer? on Ask Sid Meier · · Score: 1

    Which of these boardgames do you prefer, and why?

    Civilization(with or without Advanced Civilization)
    or
    Sid Meier's Civilization - The Boardgame

  25. Robe Warrior? on House-Sitting Robot Hits Store Shelves in Japan · · Score: 1

    Ouch. Some words were just not meant to have 'robo' melded with them.

    Yeah, this title just kept making me think of this guy...
