  1. I blame it on... on When Videogames Publishers Go 'Street' · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    the movie You Got Served.

  2. Crying myself to sleep tonight... on Sam & Max Sequel Canceled · · Score: 1

    :O I think I might cry.

  3. Hacking the Xbox on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 1

    One of the easiest, and more rewarding, hacks I have done was with my Xbox. I do not use it to play copied Box games (Nor do I own any Box games for that matter), but I do use it to play games less than or equal to 64 bit.

    Super Nintendo runs very well on the Box. My only gripe is the size of the hdd can not fit a high amount of games. This can easily be solved with buying a larger hdd and using a modchip that allows you to use it. Also, arcade games, such as Neogeo and Mame, run really well on the system with minimal to no slow down. Also, the new N64 emulator, Surreal64, runs games such as Paper Mario and Mario Tennis very well. Not perfect like the every other emulator, but enough.

    Almost every other emulator available offers a streaming service so that you may keep all of your rom (Sega Genesis, Turbo Graphics 16, Gameboy, etc.) or ISOs (Sega CD) files on your computer. Most commonly used are Relax and SMB, though many will agree that SMB is a pain in the arse to set up.

    All Emulators feature up to four player support (if the original system had that available), lightgun, mouse (with the USB hack), and everything else that was available to that system.

    Also, you can put Linux on it. I had my Box running as a web server for about a month, but decided I liked Super Nintendo much better.

    To install the chip, all I did was clip in it with the no solder pogo-pins. It took about 30 minutes from opening the box to playing.

  4. Art and Drawing on What Kind of Tablet PC to Buy? · · Score: 1
    Has anyone used a Tablet PC for drawing? I own a Wacom Tablet (12 X 12) and use it daily to draw political cartoons for my school's paper.

    Do these work well for drawing in Photoshop or Painter? I know Gabe uses one.

  5. Re:Get a laptop, save the money on What Kind of Tablet PC to Buy? · · Score: 1

    *claps* Very well put. I never even thought of taking a scanner to the library.

  6. They worked? on SCO Says It Has No Plan To Sue Linux Companies · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does that mean all the DoS attacks worked? After netcraft reported all those down times, it would be more than a coincidence if, for some reason, all the controversy just ended.

  7. Blow Stuff Up! on Chemistry Sets for Adults? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's obvious why this guy wants a chemistry set... The same reason we all wanted one:

    To blow things up.

    There is a solution, though.

    A hand full of sodium + a large lake = very nice explosions.

    You can learn the importance of keeping alkaline metals away from water, the amount of energy created with the mixing of H2Oand sodium, and why you should never stick sodium in someone's bathing suit.

    Can you say, "Win Win."

  8. OpenGL on DirectX 9 Finally Out · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Now all we have to wait for is OpenGL 2.0!" Isn't that like saying, "Now all we have to wait for is God to ride down on a cloud and hand deliver it to us!"

  9. Re:Sex appeal? I think not! on Has AOL Lost Its Sex Drive? · · Score: 1

    Actually, my sig has got me much action.

  10. Sex appeal? I think not! on Has AOL Lost Its Sex Drive? · · Score: 1

    AOL used to be like the average geek. Strong sex drive, but no sex appeal... (Unless you get your average user pitty drunk).

  11. wow, I can't believe this. on Lik-Sang Back Online, Minus Modchips · · Score: 1

    "All the Court Orders have been issued before hearing a single word from the company."

    --Well, it looks like all the videogame companies joined the Tyranny that is Entertainment companies.

  12. Girl Gamers Unite (at my house) on Wanted: Female Game Testers · · Score: 5, Funny

    It makes you wonder why there aren't more female gamers. Why do they look so derogatory towards video games. The only games that really get girls are Tetris (Dr. Mario) or Sonic the Hedgehog. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't girl gamers that play other games than those, but when you look at the average girl that plays any kind of video game, those two usually come up. Oh, by the way, girl gamers, please show your support. If more girl gamers were honest with this kind of thing, than others wouldn't be reluctant to start. I think all girl gamers should unite (at my house)! We can do stuff... er- play games.

  13. Discrediting Violence on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Now they can't blame video games for increasing violent emotions and actions. How are you going to be violent to someone if you can't pull yourself away from the computer long enough to eat.

  14. Arrrrrr... They have me BOOTY! on (CD) Pirates Take to the Ocean · · Score: 1

    They aren't pirates until they get Eye-Patches and Peg-Legs. Though, I would buy an Eye-Patch just for fun.

  15. Some, in the media and among the piracy profiteers on Howard Berman Talks About P2P Piracy Prevention Act · · Score: 1

    This Line, "Some, in the media and among the piracy profiteers, claim that the bill is not limited in this way.", sounds like something out of the Salam Witch Hunt or McCarthyism. If you stand up against this bill, you are automatically labled a "Piracy Profiteer". It may not be as bad as being considered a Communist (R) or a Witch (R), but it might ruin your reputation in congress. Also, if they do something to your HDD, if you bring them to court, how are you going to prove they did anything. How are they going to prove you did anything. Sounds like a bunch of crap to me.
