  1. Re:WoW's peaked. on Age of Conan's "Kinda" Launch and Massive Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I remember all those dragonlance games where I spent 3 levels fighting rats and snakes, longing for the day when I could take on a Giant Wasp. Some day I'll be able to replace my rusty dagger with a more worthy weapon.

  2. Re:My take... on Age of Conan's "Kinda" Launch and Massive Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    Yes. Now please stand up so we can give you your prize.

  3. Re:My take... on Age of Conan's "Kinda" Launch and Massive Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    The stealth makes sense. Everyone should have some basic idea about how not to be seen.

  4. Re:I hope it's significantly BETTER on A Few Notes on Movies of the Near Future · · Score: 1

    I think it suffered a bit for throwing in every single bit character from every episode. You do need to see it at least twice, to notice how certain late revelations are consistant with the early parts.

  5. Re:wow on A Few Notes on Movies of the Near Future · · Score: 1

    The Simpsons movie was awful. The only funny thing I can remember from it was Spider-pig.

  6. Re:A good trailer on Early Review Calls New Indiana Jones Film Dreadful · · Score: 1

    I'm more annoyed by the quantity and volume of commercials (not movie trailers, commercials for unrelated products) that they play before the movie... I miss the old days, with the slideshow of ads for local businesses, then a few trailers then the movie

  7. What? on Judge in Capitol v. Thomas Considers New Trial · · Score: 1

    He says that his instruction that simply uploading music to a P2P network without any proof that anyone actually downloaded it may conflict with a case in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals that said...
    I couldn't parse this, it seems to say his instruction was "simply uploading music to a P2P network without any proof that anyone actually downloaded it", but that's not an instruction. It's not even a complete statement.
  8. Re:Excite.com? I remember them! on MySpace Wins $230 Million Judgment Against Sanford Wallace · · Score: 1

    I would have expected "hotmail" to raise more eyebrows

  9. Re:Sounds like shit on Introducing Classical Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    You can get all five, either by holding more than one button per finger, or by wrapping your thumb around to get the green button with that. It would be a difficult position to get into out of though.

  10. Re:Classical 'hero' instruments on Introducing Classical Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    If you license Ed Grimley as the onscreen character, I'll buy it!

  11. Re:Then don't post it on Introducing Classical Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    It's very easy. If you don't find a story interesting. DON'T READ IT. And particularly, don't waste your time reading the comments.

  12. Re:Bigger Worry: A backdoor is worse than a CD. on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Never trust any rights given to you in an agreement that can be unilaterally changed by the other party.

  13. Re:Bigger Worry: A backdoor is worse than a CD. on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 1

    Of course they wouldn't actually do that. They would have to produce a patch for every game they released with this form of DRM, after a few years this is going to be too expensive for a company that's going out of business (And it would be really hard to justify the cost, releasing the old games from DRM is not going to produce any more money for the failing company)

  14. Re:Hollywood is dead to me on Speed Racer's Visual FX Uncovered · · Score: 1

    Mixing traditional animation with live action is so 1980s. I'm sure if they did it, it would be a real dog, with CGIed lips.

  15. Re:Awesome on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Of course if a game tells me "that's a bad idea", I'm definately going to try it to see what happens. But since it's a game the worst that will happen is I'll get killed and have to reload the game (well lots of innocents could get killed too, but this is GTA, that happens anyway)

  16. Re:In other words: on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Never spill your beer in the bullet chamber.

  17. Re:GET OFF MY LAUN! on Pidgin Controversy Triggers Fork · · Score: 1

    I use vi, a lot. Therefore, I hit Escape before I do anything. When this unexpectedly closes a window on me, it gets annoying.

  18. Re:obligitory post on Laptops Screens, Glare or Matte? · · Score: 1

    You get a bluetooth mouse and use that. You don't actually plan on using the touchpad, do you?

  19. Re:Favorite Dune quotes. on New Dune Movie Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I liked "My name is a Killing Word", even though it had no basis in the book.

  20. Re:Why not do another book in the series on New Dune Movie Confirmed · · Score: 1

    The Sci-Fi network got through Children of Dune, after that the books get less interesting. (Though I'd like to see how they'd make Leto the worm look, I don't see how you could make a movie out of God Emporer)

  21. Re:dear god! on Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee · · Score: 1

    It's a little ugly. But I like that it makes the thread trees easier to follow.

  22. Re:Is this real? - Umm yes on Creative Vista Driver Modder Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    Which is legitimate. They're not the first company to give a crippled product away for free and expect people to pay for the full featured product.

  23. Re:Time Suck == Failure on Will Twitter Join Podcasting on the 'Net Sidelines'? · · Score: 1

    It seems to work for World of Warcraft

  24. Re:Headstones?? ARGH!! on Will Twitter Join Podcasting on the 'Net Sidelines'? · · Score: 1

    Roy Orbison seems so out of place in that group. And at the same time, so awesome. Not so noticable in Tweeter and the Monkeyman, but in other songs.

  25. Re:PS/2 on A Fond Look at Some Obsolete Ports · · Score: 1

    I still use PS/2 ports because my KVM switch doesn't handle USB, and I haven't seen any that do (not that I've looked all that hard in a while)
