  1. Re:PC gaming was going down before the Xbox on Is The Xbox The Cause Of The PC Gamer's Downfall? · · Score: 1

    Yes there is. Here's another example, since some people don't like Merriam-Webster's offerings. I would've linked the Oxford English Dictionary, but it's subscription only, by the look of things.

  2. looks like someone... on NEC's Turbografx-16 History Recounted · · Score: 1

    missed the joke.

  3. Re:The Answer on Marriage Proposal via Atari 2600? · · Score: 1

    I got that one almost verbatim...excepting, of course, the ROM proposal. Suffice it to say, things didn't work out for us.

  4. Re:EA on An Xbox Live-like Service For Open/Indie Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I've never touched a Live game...but I'm almost certain that their matchmaking probably works a bit better than the one used in FIFA 2004 (which should be the same as the rest of the EA sports games) for PS2.

    I've played three matches in the two and a half months that I've had the game, and it's not for a lack of other players, it has more to do with the fact that a connection to the other players is never established.

    I, for one, would welcome something more stable/standardized, even if Satan was the one putting it out there...

  5. Re:Possible Matchups ... on EA Vs. Marvel Fighting Games Announced · · Score: 1

    hell, even semi-colons would've worked.

  6. Re:Game Sndtrks on Game Music Continuing To Gain Recognition · · Score: 1

    Even if you try to cut out the importing portion of acquiring game soundtracks...you end up dropping mad coin. There's a store here in the Dallas-area that sells a lot of soundtracks, but they're generally 20-30 USD. It's called Anime POP!, if anyone cared...

  7. Re:I have one thing to say... on Best Way To Manage Growing Console Clutter? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thanks, mom. ;)

  8. Re:ookay on NY Post Says GTA Worse Than Molesting · · Score: 2, Funny

    I heard that rags everywhere (dish, oily, et all) were uniting to be disassociated from the cesspool that is the Post.

    horse..soundly..beaten..while..dead.

  9. Re:Hint... on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    So he works for Burger King now?

  10. Re:Final Fantasy XI on Worst Gaming Decisions Of 2003 Rated · · Score: 1

    Poor guy. You should totally blow up the box/cd with fireworks...I bet that'll make you feel a little better.

  11. Re:How about that dud Matrix game? on Worst Gaming Decisions Of 2003 Rated · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I never liked the whole 'filling in the holes', bit. What ever happened to using exposition...or, even better, allowing the audience to decide for themselves what happened. It was a neat demonstration of the convergence of two markets, though...and it was pretty, at times.

  12. Re:Am I the only guy that finds it funny that ... on Worst Gaming Decisions Of 2003 Rated · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It just goes to show, that even when you're 'bashing' a game, you've got to pay your bills and shill it, at the same time. Bad press is still press, and some people might buy some of those games based on what they've read...

  13. What about... on Worst Gaming Decisions Of 2003 Rated · · Score: 1

    Final Fantasy X-2? No, I can't put it down...but I don't like it one bit. I just want to get the remainder of the story before I bury it in my backyard, really. The gameplay tries too hard to be fluid and innovative, and to me, fails in both respects. Items don't matter any longer, either...and that's a travesty. It was horribly over-hyped and over-rated, IMHO.

  14. Re:Obscene? on Warshaw Awards Celebrate 2003's Gaming Missteps · · Score: 1

    When it's a fictional burgular tapping an oversized gumdrop...you're damned right it is.

  15. Re:Tony Hawk... on On The Quality Of Licensed Game Soundtracks · · Score: 1

    Amen to that! I especially enjoy the fact that they tend to shy away from the 'larger' bands within the given genres...NOFX and Alkaline Trio is about as big as it gets for THUG. But nothing will ever top THPS2...Bad f'n Religion! Guh, I'm such a fan-boy.

  16. Tony Hawk... on On The Quality Of Licensed Game Soundtracks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This series, for me at least, has offered the best blend of different genres in terms of licensed music. If you like rap/hip-hop...you're covered. If you like rock...you're covered. If you like punk...you've more than covered. Before these games, I had a tendency to turn the music off (volume down), leave the ambient noises on and put on some cd or another. I do hope that future iterations on PS2 will utilize the HDD and allow people to play music of their own choice, though...because one Strike Anywhere song only makes me want to hear a bunch of Strike Anywhere songs.

  17. Re:You call that a sword? on Square Enix Standalone TV Sword Mayhem · · Score: 1

    mod me down for not having read *all* posts first...stupid acting before thinking.

  18. Re:You call that a sword? on Square Enix Standalone TV Sword Mayhem · · Score: 1

    "I see you've played Knifey-Spooney before!"

    *the above is a (possibly marred) simpsons quote...obligatory, of course.*

  19. Re:Final Fantasy VII-2, eh? on The 10 Biggest PS2 Rumors Analyzed · · Score: 1

    that made me laugh so hard that I damn near cried. (no sarcasm was included in this post)

  20. Re:The best is sonic of course.. on Highs And Lows Of Game Character Design · · Score: 1

    Didn't Q-Bert get his own show at some point? Maybe an inclusion into some other cartoon show?

  21. Re:What about Jennifer? on Hulk Game Codes Hidden In Movie · · Score: 1

    go rent 'requiem for a dream'...watch it...then cleanse thyself. repeatedly.

  22. *frown* on Limited-Edition, Coffin-Sealed Boktai GBA · · Score: 1

    I want this game...and I want this gameboy...and I want the case. I want to move to japan so I don't keep getting screwed out of cool, completely unnecessary stuff that has no additional worth outside of it's 'neat' factor. Oh well, at least I can get the game soon.

  23. Re:XBox Laptop on Smaller XBox 1.5 Rumored In Japan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    this kind of looks like a laptop...but it's a ps2.

  24. Re:Its worth on Star Wars Episode III: Behind the Scenes Webcam · · Score: 1

    or these might work:
    BG: time 1
    GL: time 2

    just thought I'd help you out with those (they didn't work for me).

  25. offtopic venting (of sorts) on Want To Get Schooled By Levelord? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why does this have to be at SMU? WHY?! I loathe that place, and I will continue to do so until my ex-girlfriend finally graduates...or until I grow up...whichever comes first (likely to be the graduation).
