  1. Re:I hope they get the talk stations right... on GTA: San Andreas Radio and Soundtrack · · Score: 1

    Lovefist's interview on KCHAT was hilarious. And so too was the feminazi one.

  2. Re:*sigh* on Doom 3 SDK Released · · Score: 4, Informative
    http://www.iddevnet.com/ Its the offical site for the SDK. Seems easier to use too than Q3's SDK.

    As for too late, I think its lost time to HL2. As soon as it hits, D3 will be but a memory.

  3. Mines a christmas 1999 one on Hotmail Begins to Upgrade Free Accounts · · Score: 1

    ...and its still 2mb. Any news on the attachment sizes? 1mb is pretty crappy.

  4. 100.01% on Steam Hardware Survey Results · · Score: 1

    What is RDTSC and why is it so brilliant that it breaks even the bounds of mathematics?

  5. The problem with the chart is... on BBC Launches Downloaded Music Charts · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ..that all the sites are stacked with crap pop music and have hardly any decent real proper music on them.

  6. Re:Any Farscape is good Farscape... on After Petition, Farscape Miniseries Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    I think just before the pilot shoots them he gets the call to 'bring them in'. I could be wrong about this as its been so long since Ive seen it. If so it means the crystallisation (sp) weapon isnt lethal. Instead it must be an immobiliser.

  7. Hollywood movies are worse at stereotyping on Racial Issues Alleged In GTA San Andreas, Other Games · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Name one film that didnt have a black character acting as a home boy gangsta wise cracking rapper.

  8. Gran Turismo 3 on On The Most Boring Videogames Of All Time · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I really really really REALLY like driving around a track for an hour or two and get the same car prize as I got the last two times I played it.

  9. Aw come on :( on System Downtime, Maintenance · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was about to launch my DOS attack on /. at that time!

  10. Re:Rewards now, losses later... on On Early Driv3r Reviews, World Exclusives · · Score: 1
    They get readers in the short term. Once readers realise they bought a heap of shite based on their OMG BEST GAME EVAR reviews they stop buying the POS.

    The only reason I bother to even get magazines is the cover DVDs for stuff I cant be arsed to download. Nothing else. I read the mag alright but only for the comedy reviews or writings. I sure as fuck dont base my likes on what they say.

  11. Does anyone believe pre-game reviews anymore? on Driv3r Ships 2.5 Million, Reviews Not So Sunny · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Weve been stung too many times before of rave game reviews only to find that its a pile of dog poo with dead fly topping.

    IMO if you pre-order or buy it on day of release, you deserve the pain of finding out its a polished turd.

  12. Is Painkiller any good for a tournament? on CPL Announces $1,000,000 Gaming World Tour · · Score: 1

    Granted Ive only played the demos, but is it much different than the slow pace of the demos single player game?

  13. Simple and cheaper solution to bypass the blocking on Cell Phone Jammers: Coming To An Event Near You? · · Score: 1

    Use walkie talkies.

  14. Hey what about Electric Playground? on TV Execs' Attempts To Lure Gamers Not Always Best · · Score: 1

    Is that big in the US enough to talk about it?
    Its being shown over here. And from the few episodes Ive seen of it, its basically one big fucking half an hour ad for whatever games they are pimping. I even saw them praise Lucasarts for that turkey Red Shit RTX (I forget the name of the game which shows how bad it is).

  15. The UK scene is just as bad on TV Execs' Attempts To Lure Gamers Not Always Best · · Score: 1

    Theres a Sky1 prog called Gamesville. Hosted by two mockney (fake cockney for those who dont know the term - watch the film Snatch for further reference) assholes who act like 12 year year olds trying to be cool in front of older kids.

  16. Re:This thing is boring.. on Star Wars Galaxies Takes Jump To Lightspeed · · Score: 1

    Its works fine on my XP and GeForce4 440 MX. No patches or anything.

  17. Re:Loon on Interviews On Gaming Scene In Japan Wrapped Up · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Damn right :)

    Now if only we could get a japanese reporter to go around the US finding out why the sales of hentai rape games arent selling and concluding that 'US games dont have enough school girls so are crap' the balance will be restored.

  18. You know Id be happy with a system on Videogame Reviews - Playing With Numbers? · · Score: 2, Funny

    that just told you how much the reviewer has been bribed. One star for T-shirts or free games, upto five stars for cash or promises for tickets to expos.

  19. Re:I want to be an agent. on Enter The AOL Matrix - Matrix Online Using AOL IM · · Score: 3, Funny
    And what are the enemies going to be like? THey all cant be just agents?

    Prepare to be whacking cyber-rats for the first ten levels.

  20. A game that needed to make its mod tools better on Developers Ever More Encouraging Of Modding · · Score: 1
    Homeworld 2

    They hyped it to be better to mod for than the first but when it was rushed by those cock suckers Sierra the mod tools required Maya 3 and wouldnt work on anything but Maya 3. And that isnt available anymore.
    End Reuslt = no mods worth speaking about as noone can make shit for it.

  21. Re:Sounds bad for Thief on Smith, Smith Signal Shifts At Ion Storm · · Score: 1

    No one would leave if a good game is going to be released. Face it, Thief 3 is going to be the shit stain of the franchise.

  22. Re:Can it help you get into the games market? on PlayStation 2 Linux Kit Reduced To $99 · · Score: 1
    Thanks notamac. But in the current climate any advantage is a plus, even if its being able to do stuff on the machine.

    One other question, do game companies use the linux kit to make games? Or does the PS2 have a seperate dev kit?

  23. Can it help you get into the games market? on PlayStation 2 Linux Kit Reduced To $99 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can you write games on it that are comparable to actual PS2 games? Not in complexity but in the same way they are coded in a games company?Ive been thinking of getting one if it can help me get a job as a games programmer. Is it useful at all in this respect?

  24. Re:Is this a US only deal? on PlayStation 2 Linux Kit Reduced To $99 · · Score: 1

    Sorry, please ignore, I just found the new europe price.

  25. Is this a US only deal? on PlayStation 2 Linux Kit Reduced To $99 · · Score: 1

    Coz on the Europe site its still about 135 euros.
