I am a child of the '80s. My tolerance level for '80s cheese is remarkably high. I continue to lust after Molly Ringwald and Lori Loughlin, even though I was of single-digit age when they were at their peaks.
But even I cannot tolerate the Master of the Universe movie. Combine Dolph Lungren in a role that requires acting (instead of the cold emotionless machine in Rocky IV) with even worse actors, and terrible use of the He-Man source material (which was questionable material to begin with, made only exponentially worse with every deviation made from it)... and you get The Worst Movie I've Ever Seen.
There are a number of other movies I've seen that could compete, but avoid consideration due to the "+5, Female Nudity" modifier.
These programs are the #1 problem I encounter when I get the oh so common call from friends and family about how their PC just keeps popping up ads and is running really slow.
Damn them all to hell!
This being/. I am sure a great deal of you know my pain.
No. This is Slashdot. We don't have friends, and family doesn't invite us over anymore.
>> Anyone remember Bill Hatcher? Made by Sonic team, pushed eggs around, fight evil crows dressed in a chicken suit... yea thought now..
It's not the originality that sunk that game - it's the fact that the game oozed with lameness.
Not that Billy Hatcher was "original" in any sense, except the "it's not a sequel" sense.
Plus, it's those big games that give publishers the money to make Billy Hatcher games. Complain about the big titles and make them go away, and you lose your Billy Hatchers too. It works that way in movies. It works that way in games. Every time someone makes a post like this, this fact has to be re-explained.
That's the great thing about (American) football. It has maddening complexity for those who care to learn it. Or you can swig beer and cheer deep passes and big hits.
Sports games are the biggest filler of this niche.
Sports games give you nicely self-contained packages of gameplay. You can play a football game for a half-hour, and enjoy yourself. You don't have to string together hours of playtime at once to enjoy yourself. ESPN and Madden are always ready when you have a few minutes to kill.
manage to spend almost 2x what the total revenues were?
If I did this I would be MBNA's bitch for the rest of my life. Ah to have the life of a corporation....

So? The poster was complaining about size. You either get smaller size or faster speed - you don't get both.

I do so love videos of naked women.
Me in 1995: "Netscape wins! Microsoft Internet Explorer is a piece of crap!"
(The sad part is, the second half of the 2nd statement remains true...)
Heh, no they didn't. It's not an exhibit for Asian Origins of Bad Gaming.
Billy Jean is not my lov-ah!
Well if they hadn't signed a treaty with the aliens and cut my funding, I could've defended them better!

There's a name for that.
It's called "everything the RIAA has rights to".
"Crap" need not ever be explicitly written in such stories. "RIAA" already implies that.

My girlfriend's brand new laptop (well, when it was brand new a year ago) came with WinXP Pro and blue-screen'd regularly. But Linux doesn't.
Yeah, way too many resources. When my average CPU load creeps up to 2%, I panic!
Often, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
The worst part is, he failed and survived - showing just how much the movie rotted his brain.
No, the point of middle age is to do things you enjoy, without idiotic classification of leisure activities as "kiddie" or "adult".

The user is handed a really sweet gun, but the clip is half-empty, and the gun is jammed.
KDE: User shouts "hand me a gun!"
13,000 different guns fall from the sky onto the user's head, crushing him to death instantly.
Not if you made billions of dollars beforehand.
iPoon?
I'm racing to trademark the name...
