    No, but I don't think it's my fault when someone else steals my car and decides to go all GTA3.

  2. Re:Microsoft Bashing on Security Concerns When Consoles Go Online? · · Score: 1

    That article had nothing to do with the Nimbda virus, but the poster had to throw it in there cause Microsoft didn't look bad in that article. Awful.

    The article was written by the poster, dork.

  4. Re:so then...keyboard controlled? on E3 Controller Previews · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm pretty sure Capcom realizes that this isn't going to sell a million copies, it's not like they're trying to compete with Mario here. This controller is meant for one game and one game only, and it's supposed to simulate a mech. I'd say that this custom controller is probably better than immersing you in that experience than a keyboard and mouse would be. Give them some credit for having the balls to put money into the development of something completely different (that probably won't sell) while most other devs are just trying to copy the hot title of the month.

    Keep trying, that wasn't entirely off topic. But hang in there, you'll be a true Slashdotter yet!

    I feel like the South Park kids in that episode where the military and those scientists keep trying to tell the kids why their group is the right one in the battle for Towlie:

  7. Re:the dreamcast has great game selection on Xbox Price Drops to $200 · · Score: 1

    If you find a copy of the Bleem disc (good luck) you can play Metal Gear Solid on your Dreamcast with improved graphics.

    Or you can just wait, because it looks like Konami is putting out some kind of compilation deal which may or may not include a remade version of MGS using the MGS2 engine for the PS2, XBox, and PC. They'll probably give all the details at E3.

  8. "no plans" on Xbox Price Drops to $200 · · Score: 1

    Nintendo still has no plans to cut pricing on the Gamecube.

    Sorry if this has been mentioned, I'm too lazy to check, but Sony officially had 'no plan' to lower prices up until the other day when they did...

  9. Re:one's pet projects versus faster releases on Debian May 1 Release Delayed · · Score: 1

    Yes but who cares? I love Debian, it's great for me, but if corporations want to use Red Hat, good for them! Why does the end goal of every distribution and/or OS have to be that everyone in the world uses it? Debian works for some people, Red Hat works for others.

  10. Re:M$ Shot Own Foot on PS2 Vs. X-Box: Winner Emerging? · · Score: 1

    Must be nice to have mutant hands. I love the DC, it's still my favorite console (none of the new ones have had the time to build a library that great yet), but man do I hate me some DC controllers. I ended up buying a 3rd party controller that was a bit more comfortable, but just wasn't SEGA quality.

    Exactly. And Perfect Dark was the second (and still the best).

  12. Re:Uh, what about the... on PS2 Vs. X-Box: Winner Emerging? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Unfortunately I don't have a link, but the Cube did outsell the XBox last week by about four thousand units. The reason this is kind of significant is that the GameCube hasn't seen any big releases recently. Looks like MS was just better at getting stock to the stores, but now that Nintendo has caught up things might start to change. Especially with Resident Evil coming out the first week of May. This story really is ridiculous, though. First of all, no winner emerges six months into a five year console lifespan. Second, the PS2 had a full year head start, and six months into it's lifetime there was NOTHING to play on the damn thing (maybe SSX and TTT, but I wasn't really impressed until GT3 came out last summer). Third, there are more than two competitors here, and anyone writing off Nintendo is a fool, especially considering their lineup for the second half of the year. I wonder how many people remember that the N64 rolled all over the PSX until FFVII was released.

  13. Re:Waah, waah, waah. on Games People Shouldn't Play · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's what he's saying. This is more of a "watch out for these crappy games" than a "video games aren't good any more" kind of thing. Not everyone spends a lot of time reading about or playing video games, so this is kind of a heads up of what to watch out for.
