  1. Re:The Nintendo Revolution: on Rumour Control on the Revolution Controller · · Score: 1

    Ahh, crap. I misspelled fictitious(pretty badly at that). I really do try to spell correctly too... It must be the booze.

  2. Re:The Nintendo Revolution: on Rumour Control on the Revolution Controller · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, because Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto: New Quasi-Fictiosious City are going to be nothing like any game ever made...

    Dislaimer: I'm no fanboy for either camp - it's just that the parent is ridiculous.

  3. Re:Finally on Halo Movie Awards 2005 · · Score: 1

    They get a copy of the 4th season DVD from the future. Geez, how hard was that to figure out?

  4. Re:Erm? on Sony Goes After Saturday Night TV · · Score: 1

    You're not nuts, you've just gone "link blind". It's a condition that only affects a small percentage of people, but it's still quite a serious affliction.

    A strict diet of chicken livers, goats milk, and grain alcohol should provide temporary relief while you wait for a doctor's appointment

  5. Actually, This May Not Be A Bad Idea on Halo Movie Slated For 2007 · · Score: 1

    I've played both Halo games, and have never been a fan. However, I was way too into the whole I Love Bees thing. If the movie takes that route (or even the Red Vs. Blue route), it may not be that bad...

  6. Re:Confusion on J Allard Interviewed · · Score: 1

    They would be stupid not to do it.

    Why thank you, Mr. J. Allard in disuise, for your completely unbiased opinion.

  7. Re:It would appear that IGN is smoking gravel on IGN's Top 100 Games · · Score: 1

    ...and I consider (my favorite game) to be better than (insert your favorite game here). It's opinion, what's your point?.

  8. Re:missing something on Python's Cheese Shop Now Open · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that the only way it's different from the Vaults Of Parnassus is that there's way more stuff in the latter. Maybe it's easier to update than the Vaults.

    No comment on the cheese sketch.

  9. Re:Well that explains Startropics... on Nintendo's Crackrock Revealed · · Score: 1

    Kudos to someone giving props to Star Tropics. That was the first game I ever loved.

  10. Re:Homophobia on Making XBox Live Less Horrifying · · Score: 2, Informative

    The anonymity can give people delusions of granduer. ...as explained by John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.

  11. Re:Name one platform Firefox doesn't suck on. on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    Extensions are fine and all, but I'd rather the browser work right without me spending so much effort on it.

    I can understand your frustrations, but I think you're confusing the phrase "work right" with "work the way I want it to".

  12. Re:All I want to know... on AI Allowed to Create Their Own Culture · · Score: 1

    I think they'll be rocking out to Judas Priest way before religion comes into the picture. Oh, wait... you meant the other kind of metal didn't you?

  13. Re:What a sad week for gamers on EA's Busy Week · · Score: 1

    I think you're forgetting this is EA... Sure, they may start re-thinking the way they make games and succeed, but I doubt that we're going to get any innovative games out of the situation any time soon.

    Hopefully, though, we may see employees starting to be treated a little better when EA realizes that they can't be the Wal-Mart of games (ie. underpaid, overworked employees) in every country.

  14. Re:Gamer Grrl on Uneasy Relationship Between Gender and Gaming · · Score: 1

    Sorry, make that "our respective games" instead of "out respective games". I even used preview...

  15. Re:Gamer Grrl on Uneasy Relationship Between Gender and Gaming · · Score: 1

    Co-op mode - chances are, I won't get as much screen time to perfect my 12-step awesome combo moves, so playing competative just leads to me getting my ass kicked every time we play. That gets boring fast. Besides which, I'm probably in a relationship WITH you, and am playing the game to do something WITH you not AGAINST you.

    Excellent point. Even though we could own each other at out respective games (myself with FPS type games, she with fighting games) the most fun my ex-girlfriend and I had playing games was in co-op games like the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series.

  16. Re:Quality? Wha?!?! on Best Game Writers 2005 Recognized · · Score: 1

    I don't know about Half Life, but the PA guys didn't exactly extoll the virtues of Halo...

  17. Re:And... no one cares on FFXII News Coming At Square Enix Event · · Score: 1

    I was thinking pretty much the same thing until I played Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time. There's still a part of me that wishes it was a traditional turn based affair but, given their past performance, I've got a bit of faith in SquareEnix.

  18. Re:YES, Advancing the characters on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    I fully agree with you, although the emotionally charged episodes that aired during the early seasons have always been my least favorite.

    Basically everyone I know hates the early Lisa focused episodes. The one where she gets the pony is just awful, in my opinion. Hey, that's just me.

  19. Still downhill but... on The Final Days of Final Fantasy · · Score: 1

    I only think it's been downhill since Final Fantasy IX. I know most people don't agree with me, but I think that IX stands alongside VI as one of the the best actual Final Fantasy games ever made.

    I say "actual Final Fantasy games" because Final Fantasy Tactics and FFT: Advance were both great games (I still play FFT on my PS1 constantly), but more side-games than anything else, brilliant as they may be.

    OFFTOPIC: By the way, am I the only person who doesn't have problem with the new "confirm you're not a script" thing?

  20. Re:Good for you on Morpheus is Dead · · Score: 0, Troll

    Dont kid yourself. The Matrix has always sucked.

  21. Re:Mistake number one. on Ballmer Reflects on Xbox Launch Errors · · Score: 1

    And yes, I am fully aware of how funny it is to spell the word "grammar" wrong in a post like that.

    *shakes head*

  22. Re:Oh... NOW it's a disaster? on Ballmer Reflects on Xbox Launch Errors · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has a bit of a say. New developers aren't going to be able to get dev kits from a company that doesn't support the hardware. Old developers may not be able to renew the necessary licenses. I'm not sure about that one though.

  23. Re:No on PlayStation 3 Pricing Revealed? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's what I do whenever I buy a console anyway. At least it's good to know that PS2 games will continue to come out for quite a while.

  24. Re:metal arms: glitch in the system on Blizzard Acquires Swingin' Ape Studios · · Score: 1

    That sure is one heck of a game. It'll kick your ass on the higher difficulty settings too...

  25. Re:Random Question for Game Designers on The Making of Super Mario Bros. 3 · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think Python has been in a PS2 game or two. Possibly a game from Humongous(like the Backyard Baseball series), since I know they're quite fond of Python.
