  1. affordable on Large Publishers Pointing to High Prices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i think this will lead to allot more copied games, cause im starting to have problems affording (or saying i can afford, other things have more importaint ques on my money) that are 44$ slightly cause i dont have tons of cash to spend on frivolas things at times, and mostly, cause very few games end up worth nearly that amount. and this price hike isn't going to help there cause i think. oh well. maybe once they get very old game si might be able to afford them (and hopefully that will coincide with the console dropping price too!)

    well i ment it as people with different hands like different styles. i used size thusfar from what ive seen.

  3. Re:Fansubs and Video on Demand on BitTorrent May Prove Too Good to Quash · · Score: 1

    i just recently got into the show lost. and i wanted to "catch up" and see all that happened, no one i know recorded them all. so i had to find all the episodes up to now on BT, cause dvd's wont be out for year or so (ok, maybe 4 or 5 months) but i would still be behind. and i dont like that cause its a cool show and you need to see it all

    i like the ps2 xbox is ok. GC not so much. its all boilds down to what the people want. some have bigger hands, those are the people i see who dislike the ps2 controller more than people with medium hands. im not sure about the GC one though

  5. Re:Risky.. on Next-gen Game Boy to Hit Stores This Year? · · Score: 1

    i actually liked the sholder buttons more on the GBA as opposed to the sp, my fingers barely work with the two small/close ones.. pluss the gba had less top heavy feel than the old game boys/sp i got an afterburner yes, cause the light was hell. and i loved it till it broke :(

  6. Re:Statistically invalid samples on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 2, Insightful

    or how for the money thing. they spend 1/3 but do they have as many students overall we could be spending less overall (giving the country and cost of things versus over there) we could spend 2$ per kid for pencils or something, while to get 2times the pencils per kids, they only spend 2$

  7. Re:i can see it now on Online Gaming Ad Network Launches · · Score: 1

    i wouldn't mind as much if the prices of games did go down and they wernt like the parent and big 30 second things all the time you couldn't skip. things like coke machines or billboards. or heck. even drinking coke in a agame to get back HP or something would be fine. as long as i get games cheaper. cause 50$ a game is a bit much for most the stinkers out there. i would be much more willing to buy a game at 30 or 20 dollars that i havent played a demo of cause i isn't that much. 50$ make me wanna be sure i will like it or i can junk it without to much loss (selling online or to a store as used)

    even the creator of tetris said he almost got addicted to it and had to get it out of his house when he made. it. its just mind numbing enough to keep you buys. but always different enough to not bore you

  9. Re:Very Cool on Red vs Blue Meets The Sims · · Score: 2, Informative

    they just split screened it for when he jumped in, and didn't worry about the other shots, as maroon is hard to tell from red in distance. the most impressive is actually the panning shot in the first scene

    looks kind of interesting, but i think you should put in mroe than hack and slash, heck. bars would be nice. and other things you could do for fun

  13. Re:Work in Teams on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 1

    while i hate (and i do mean HATE) working in groups. i do know the use of talking to people and being at least, my amount of anti social. (I like people, they like me, i just cant stand them)

    how about startiing them off just socialising together though, no task to do, just relaxing and chatting over each others cold fusion theory's

    I have done the puzzle piece one... and as a group... we decided to cheat.. it worked much better.

    i say have a, well.. not a "party" but a get together of all the kids and siblings. and some adults in there. this will allow some more intelectual kids to talk to an adult. and at the same time, having siblings around add's a bit of fun to it and some chatting with there age. though depending on how old they are... dont bring there peers in, or not many of them.. (IE: no 16-18 year old peers and such, an older brother or two like that is fine)



    wow, that was allot mroe than i planned to say.

    from all i know about GPS (i am no expert so yeah) they use the same satelites. but all the military has is a few more to also get more information and closer readings. to stop us from using it, they just excrypt them for where they want us to not know. course we only know about ours... i wonder if someone else might have the same type of system hidden....... *ponders*

    i so wanna see the space fighting and all. its looks cool... sorry off topic. Lanparties with UT people, or just a PW'd game online with friends is a good thing for UT

  17. Man.... on Putting a 1.48GHz Tualatin CPU in an Xbox · · Score: 1

    Ok, now this is getting a bit pointless. games cant use it, only thing that could be would be Linux on it (maybe a emulator) i mean, i thought MS should do a small cd w/ keyboard that is just a net pc-console, make the font a little bigger and use it for email and internet, and wow, cheap pc that is all most of america needs. putting a new cpu in it just seems wasteful to me. at the point you are doing that, just go buy a farking pc! *sigh*

  18. Re:If I use asterisks, it appears less offensive on Mac Version Of Halo Exemplifies Piracy Problem? · · Score: 1

    sorry, that is what i ment. i was trying to say that allot of people think they are overpriced, when i dont really think they are, sur they arn't cheap. but allot of work goes into these. though i will put allot of it into models and engine construction. but blah. what i mean is yes, i pay for games i like, because well. i like them, and i figure if i buy the games i like, they will be (very slightly) more apt to make those ones, as opposed to the cheaply produced garbage games

  19. Re:If I use asterisks, it appears less offensive on Mac Version Of Halo Exemplifies Piracy Problem? · · Score: 1

    i cant say i go without pirating. yes i have, and i probably will. but i do it more to see if a game is worthwhile enough to buy. heck. sometimes ive played pirated versions just to go buy the real one multiple times (UT for example i think ive bough 3 or 4 times)

    but i do hate people who just ware and thats it. really. all you are doing is not giving people the money they do deserve for writeing the games you like. and yes we wish they were cheaper, but someone on slashdot (i think, i forgot the link) did make a good point. of how many people work on the games for how long. and that versus the amount they make off of them isn't much. i would write this a bit better if i wasn't falling asleep at the keyboard at work :( oh well

  20. Re:What?? on 'Just Sleep On It' Solves Tricky Problems? · · Score: 1

    What i recall, is your Sub does filter out allot of stuff from your awake mind. but your brain records everything you see, hear, smell, feel, ect. and while your brain can only use part of this. your Sub has full access to it. hence it will remember allot more and on problems where you have to remember something, it will.

    i saw one study where when givin a very complex and hard math problem, if you thought about it. you would have to take your time to answer it. but they found that your brain's sub will feed you the answer almost instantly. try it sometimes, you would be amazed. it isn't perfect, but if you keep trying to use it, ive seen some people who can do near autistic things like that (thats how they do it too. your brain processing allot of things quickly, there sub just doesn't filter things out as well or the right things.)

    Have you ever been looking for something, and keep getting pulled for some reason to one room, or part of a room. heck. ive even had my hand "reach out" towards what i was looking for (it took me a few hours to realise and then find it cause i wasn't paying attention) thats your sub working on the problem you are thinking about too.
