  1. Re:Mod Title Up! on Well I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle · · Score: 1

    You're right that's even better! Thanks;-)

  2. Mod Title Up! on Well I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What a great way to start off the day with a laugh!

  3. Re:BONK THE ZONK! on Red Steel Impressions Roundup · · Score: 1
    Same here. Why do you bitch about more content? At the very least the games section is constantly being updated and, since this is E3 time, there are even more things to report.

    Leave Zonk alone.

  4. Re:Nintendo: the next Apple? on Super Smash Brothers Wii, Featuring Solid Snake · · Score: 2, Insightful
    How many computers came standard with a GUI in the 80s before apple's?

    The name you're looking for is Amiga. They were not only more powerful than Apple's, but cheaper, too. Apple is only an innovator when compared to Microsoft.

  5. Re:Trailer ! on Super Smash Brothers Wii, Featuring Solid Snake · · Score: 1
    Sometimes you have to make time for the important stuff.

    I totally agree. Prioritize, man, prioritize. And don't forget to bering a friend and a camcorder so you can make the Front Page, too;-)

  6. Boomerang? on Warhawk and The Dualshake Controller · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But do they still look like giant half-moon boomerangs? That's the question. The controllers in the early pictures looked amazingly uncomfortable. Flying is nice, but are the controllers actually comfortable?

  7. Re:Retro Controller on Resident Evil, Game On With Wii · · Score: 1
    Sounds like it might be possible to buy a developer license. I can't wait!

    They ahve either already said, or rumor has it, that they will sell Dev kits for $2,000. not cheap but a fraction of the cost of PS3 or 360 kits.

  8. Re:Is your palm blinking red, Taco? on CmdrTaco becomes An Old(er) Man · · Score: 1
    The million dollar question is: Do you think the scriptwriters were actually PAID for this crap?

    Like I always say, you just can't write dialogue like that;-)

  9. Re:Investment of sorts on Grand Theft Auto IV Unveiled On 360 · · Score: 1
    Is that another way of saying "Patch"? :)

    Yep. It provides additional functionality and control of undocumented features;-)

  10. Re:Slight disappointment on 27 Playable Wii Games At E3 · · Score: 2
    I know.

    Then why'd you ask? Or was it just an ill-conceived attempt at humor?

  11. Re:Wireless? on Cancer Resistant Mouse Provides Possible Cure · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's even worse. Apparantly the cancer resistant gene was found on the 3rd button. Mac users are hosed.

  12. Re:Pen and Paper? on Generic Dungeons, Universal Dragons · · Score: 1
    Which brings up an interesting point. I used to play Silent Death and Battletech, years ago, and one of the annoying things was copying the datasheets so you could check off damage and the like. There has certainly got to be PDA based datasheets now, don't you think? Sort of a convergance of electronic and tactile gaming?

    If not, I call the copyrighted patenting trademarking rights!

  13. Case with Wheels on Carrying Your IT Equipment With You? · · Score: 1

    As long as you're willing to spend the money, this should be able to easily hold all of your equipment. That plus it self powered, too!

  14. Could Walmart accomplish on Wal-Mart to Offer Components for DIY Computers · · Score: 3, Interesting
    What Wintel never did? Eliminate compeltely incompatible hardware? Could the market prowess finally force hardware manufacturers to a single and consistent standard?

    The good news is that Walmart porbably can. The bad news is that the standard will likely suck.

  15. Re:Answer is easy. on Americans Are Seriously Sick · · Score: 1
    I was talking about the rest of the world.

    Wait, we've mentioned Europe and the US, WTF, there's more? When'd that happen?

  16. Re:Can't be any worse than parts 3 and 4... on 'Revenge of the Nerds' Remake in the Works · · Score: 1

    I guess that means I didn't sacrifice any neurons to parts 3 or 4! I don't know that that makes me any smarter, but it likely made me less dumber;-)

  17. Re:ahem on 'Revenge of the Nerds' Remake in the Works · · Score: 1

    Hey, batting 2 out of 3 ain't that bad;-)

  18. Re:Can't be any worse than parts 3 and 4... on 'Revenge of the Nerds' Remake in the Works · · Score: 1
    Parts 3 and 4 were utter garbage.

    I think I saw 3 (Hotel Essex?), but I'm not entirely sure it wasn't 2. One was awesome. I had no idea there was a 4. That's scary. Maybe they'd be better off making a prequel...

  19. Unrated Editions? on ABC Launches Full Episode Streaming · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm sure many of you have noticed that movies now get edited down to PG-13 ratings for theatres and then get bumped back to R levels on the unrated DVD releases. I wonder how long it will be before a network (Fox?) does the same thing. See our shows free on TV, or pay a little for the streaming unrated version of American Dad. Or, better yet, Trippin' the Rift.

  20. Re:Bring back colonial-era punishment on Next Generation Spam Zombies Will Use Data Mining · · Score: 1

    And Mac users could throw their Apples at them...

  21. Data Mining Spam Zombies? on Next Generation Spam Zombies Will Use Data Mining · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that on Sci-Fi last Thursday at 3am? I think they were From Beyond...

  22. Great. That's just @%#$ Dandy. on Cell Phones Responsible For Next Internet Worm? · · Score: 1, Funny

    So now the obnoxious windbag annoying everyone on the bus can also be transmitting virii to everyone, too! Yet another victory for the annoying.

  23. Company name? on Store Your Own Juice · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's not Shipstone, is it?

  24. In other news... on Intel Admits To Falling Behind AMD · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Intel admits that water is wet and ponies are cute.

    Intel's marketshare is deceiving because it is propped up on a number of "exclusive" contracts. Once those go away, and they will as AMD pulls away technologically and pricewise, Intel is going to see the market flipped in a very short amount of time.

    Intel Outside, not just a good idea anymore.

  25. Yeah! The Good News! on Nintendo Revolution Renamed 'Wii' · · Score: 5, Insightful
    This is actually great news. See, every time Nintendo does something with a console, there is always one really stupid thing about it. With the wii (did I just really write that?) its the name that means that we can simply keep calling it the Revolution and it won't suck.

    Kudos to Nintendo for getting their stupidity out of their sytem early, and in a manner which won't affect the machines performance.
