  1. Re:Hmmm.... on Half Life 2 Stuttering Bug Official · · Score: 1

    So someone with an older system than yours is getting a better game experience. Just goes to show you, splurging to get the latest and the greatest (i.e. buying what the advertisemens tell you to) isn't always the way to go.

  2. Re:you can buy it.. but you can't play it on Half Life 2 Available, Delays Not Valve's Fault · · Score: 1

    I really don't think that's what the grandparent meant by "register." He meant register as in, pay at the...

  3. Re:appledotslashdotdotcom on Podcasting D&D Games · · Score: 1

    Yes, he's obviously not a Pod Person that mindlessly follows trend! Er, I mean, iPod Person.

  4. Re:Ever see an absent minded genius? on Podcasting D&D Games · · Score: 1

    Getting along with people is actually Charisma, not Wisdom. At least in 3rd Ed D&D.

  5. Re:Who the hell cares on Movie Industry to sue File Sharers · · Score: 1

    You're absolutely right! I'm going to download a book on Shareaza RIGHT NOW!

  6. Christopher is better than Heather. on EQ2 Voiced By Hollywood Actors · · Score: 1

    Sorry for Heather Graham fans out there, but as pretty as she is, she never struck me as being a great actress. And as a voice actress, it seems to me that she loses a lot of her appeal.

    Christopher Lee, on the other hand, is a legend. And he has a fantastic voice.

  7. Re:There is already a label on No Half-Life 2 on Steam? · · Score: 1

    How about.... Steamware!

    Come on, someone had to say it.

  8. Re:Release date on PS2 Final Fantasy 7 Spinoff · · Score: 1

    If they got great sales, that sounds like a good argument for the "invicibility" of Square.

  9. Re:Doesn't work, at least with the original DOS ga on X-Wing, TIE Fighter 95 Fixed, Lego Yoda Revealed · · Score: 1
    Actually, engine wash was only included in XvT

    Do you mean introduced? I'm pretty sure I've been struck with engine wash in X-Wing Alliance (which came after XvT).

  10. Re:Mazes on On The Most Boring Videogames Of All Time · · Score: 1

    Strangely, some games that were fun to play 15-20 years ago are terribly boring nowadays. Who remembers "The Bard's Tale"? Who enjoyed it? And who would loathe to play it today? I remember wasting months on the first Bard's Tale. Literally. While I liked it, the main reason was that I was stuck -- possibly for more than a year, before I broke down and bought the hint book. (Turned out I had missed a single square inside a dark area.) At least, by then, my party had leveled up enough to easily beat the monsters within the remaining dungeons.

  11. Re:Tail of the Sun on On The Most Boring Videogames Of All Time · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mind you, the article was about boring games, not bad games. So it wasn't called the worst game ever in the article; just the most boring one.

  12. Re:People think this is bad? on Derek Smart Lusting Rights To Freespace? · · Score: 1

    Actually, didn't Derek Smart threaten legal action against them to prevent them from "developing thier stuff"?

  13. Re:Rock and Rule on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    Yes. I've seen it twice as a kid. I was surprised to learn that it's actually an obscure movie, then again it is a Canadian movie. :)

  14. Re:Donnie Darko on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    I'll give them this: that was one creepy rabbit.

  15. Re:Gunkata on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    I could swear that http://www.cinemaclock.com listed Equilibrium as an upcoming movie when it was released. However, now it's gone from the list.

  16. Re:Scary... on Users Conned by Cable Con · · Score: 1

    I have the feeling that /.ers aren't saying they deserved what they got because they were committing a crime, but rather, because they were dumb to get caught.

  17. Re:Good SF and bad movies... on Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. Larry Niven · · Score: 1
    I have to admit my idea of the perfect Lord Of The Rings movie would be to film almost every scene and with a minimum of adaptation, and almost no changes to the dialog.
    It sounds to me like you're less a fan of Tolkien, and more a fan of accuracy. A recreation of every scene in Lord of the Rings? Preposterous!
  18. Re:Good SF and bad movies... on Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. Larry Niven · · Score: 1

    I was told that while the movie was being promoted and the actors were being interviewed, they were totally clueless or confused by questions about the satirical aspects of Starship Troopers. And it wasn't because they didn't understand what satire means. It was because, in their mind, they played it totally straight.

  19. My God on Collecting Stardust · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's full of dust!

  20. Oh great on Ring Of Stars Found Around Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Now we have seven days to live! Thanks a lot scientists!
