  1. Dark Basic on Game Creation Software for Kids? · · Score: 1

    If the language itself is too complicated, there are several creation kits as well. I suspect that transitioning from one of the kits to the full language will be a great learning experience.

    Dark Basic

  2. Even with Double Dash? on Nintendo Profits Drop As Gamecube Loses Ground · · Score: 2, Interesting

    After hearing of the eight-player capabilities of Mario Kart, I and several friends have all pledged to become 2-cube households the day it comes out. They may have been thinking about console sales a little after all...

  3. Expensive on Metroid Prime Done Quick · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's $0.47 a minute. He'd actually have saved money playing it in a wallet-gouging arcade. Adventure games are over too fast as it is...

  4. All summed up with: working at home on Psychology of a Programmer · · Score: 1

    If it wasn't for my home office, I would never get any code written. This should be a strongly considered option for more companies, especially small ones with few people to a project.

  5. Amen to that. on Farscape Finale Tonight · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    SG1 is lowbrow and unartistic, like most scifi fare. Farscape speaks in color and metaphor. Star Trek and its ilk will never do that; they're simply geared towards a less complex cognitive process.

  6. Re:Nintendo's market on Nintendo Confirms New Console In 2005 · · Score: 1

    I can see it now... training a whole zone of Koopas onto some poor unsuspecting mushroom retainer newbie. 1-Up Mushrooms selling for $600.00 on ebay. Massive guild wars between the Holy Alliance of Mario and Luigi's Disciples.

    Sign me up. Way more interesting than recycled fantasy junk.

  7. Doesn't matter if the address is real... on Saddam's Inbox Hacked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Whether or not Saddam or his regime read it isn't really the point. The interesting thing is what people sent, and why. It's also a unique privacy issue; these people who thought they could quietly support Iraq are exposed in such a way that they can't really claim to have been violated.

  8. Support it with some extrta income... on Starting a LAN Gaming Centre? · · Score: 1

    I would consider using it as a training facility in your off-peak time (like daytime during schooldays). Especially if you're not in a real metropolis. Around here, only the community college has decent facilities for that, and they could be undercut easily.

  9. The old ways... on Wireless PS/2? · · Score: 1

    To avoid the clutter, I ran all relevant cables under the floor to a small project box mounted within the floor, under my coffeetable. The game machines on the lower shelf of the coffeetable have power, AV and network without a messy trunk of cable connecting the entertainment center and coffee table island.
