  1. Re:I saw that episode of Malcom last night... on On The Evolution Of Dance Dance Revolution · · Score: 1

    But it was based on a DDR machine. If they showed the DDR machine in the episode then they would have to pay royalties, etc.. Idiot. Your comment is pointless and you have forced to me to start calling individuals on an Internet forum an idiot. I feel dirty now.

  2. It was cool but on Atari Lynx Emulator Goes Open Source · · Score: 3, Informative

    I remember playing it in a toy store when it first came out. I played the California games for 10 minutes and the system started to overheat. It sucked down batteris like coca cola. I wanted one really bad but my dad pointed out that I would have to blow the majority of my weekly allowance on batteries just to play it. Damn you Atari! Such a cool devise yet so flawed.

  3. Now I know what the poster watches. on On The Evolution Of Dance Dance Revolution · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Couldn't switch the channel to something else after the Simpsons and was forced to watch Malcom in the Middle and see the father do the DDR competition? It bothered you so much that you have to post a DDR article first thing Monday morning on Slasdot. Move along. Nothing to see here.

  4. Re:CC Generals on The Politics of the Video Game · · Score: 1

    Actually it would. But seriously, you have a point. The GLA in C&C was pretty damn vicious. Every cut scene had them shooting civilians for food, flooding villages, using chem weapons on just about everybody. Hell the opening scene they nuked downtown Hong Kong. And, after playing the American and Chinese sides you think that you were doing gods work to bring order and democracy to the world. Which is a contradiction on the Chinese side (communist sons of bitches). The American side, that is an entire thread in its self.

  5. I don't get it. on Dreamcast Tribute Revisits Cult Console, Games · · Score: 1

    Everybody understands why and how Sega collapsed from a videogame power house to a purely software development company. Why can't Sega learn from its mistakes, get some capital together, and make a new video game console. From this thread, it seems everybody loved their dreamcast and would go out and by a new reincarnation of it. Why can't Sega hire competent managers and marketing people! They have innovative, creative programmers and engineers. Come on Sega, get your shit together!

  6. Re:Zelda is the best game of all time! on Legend Of Zelda - Evolution Of A Franchise · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I still to this day haven't beaten one Zelda game but I do agree that all of them encompass what a great game should be. Yes, I know, my skills are lame. I remember playing Zelda for the SNES and for the first time being engrossed into a video game plot/story. If Nintendo was smart they would bundle the new Zelda with the Game Cube. I'm sure a lot of people would by the System.

  7. Re:I don't own any consoles on Sony Hit by Drop in PS2 Sales · · Score: 1

    Better controller? Are you mad sir? The XBox controller is bigger than my nut sack! And I know your going to say "well what about the mini S Controller". I'm still not impressed with it. It has a bad button layout and my hands always cramp when playing it. Give me a ps2 controller anyday.

  8. Re:Obvious on On Gamers Whining About Cheese · · Score: 2

    Thanks. I was pissed that my comment was thought of as troll based. I just get pissed off at 13 year old script kiddies. Maybe there is a better way of expressing my anger but I've never had the ability at being tactful. Anyway, bottom line is just don't whine about your gaming experience and have fun. Is that too much to ask for?

  9. MS has the advantage on Sony Hit by Drop in PS2 Sales · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What sony needs to do is drop the price down to 160 bucks and include the hard drive and network adapter with the shiny new Final Fantasy 11. Lets see Xbox compete with its Halo bundle then?

  10. Obvious on On Gamers Whining About Cheese · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f*ck the prom queen" Gamers should grow some balls and not whine. This just helps feed the stereotype that the majority of gamers are 13 year old bitches who spend too much time playing games online and can't handle being schooled by another player and are reduced to speaking l33t in order to seem cool and elite.

  11. I call Shenanigans on Hardware Manufacturers Making PC Gaming Too Elite? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "If you stay contented with your existing machinery, their profits drop and the CEOs get fired" This guy obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. Once the profits drop, they fire all the engineers, outsource to india, and the CEO gets a $500k year bonus.

  12. Awesome Product, Bad Management on Lost Sonic Game Gets X-Treme Flashback · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "Everyone else in the company (literally) was working on a different version of the game... based on a game engine Ofer had created before." There is no excuse for this. The reason why Sega finally failed (demise of Dreamcast) was bad management. If your the project manager of a game and allow your development staff to be so disorganized, you deserve to be unemployed. That's the overall story of Sega: Great, Innovative concepts but management was made up of Monkeys and malcontents so they couldn't execute any business plans without screwing everything up.

  13. Doesn't Europe Realize on Ninja Gaiden Censored For European Release · · Score: 2, Funny

    when decapitations are outlawed only outlaws will have decapitations.

  14. The problem with online games on When $1B in Online-Game Sales Isn't · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've given up on online games because it gets tiresome having listen/read l33t speak by some 13 year old. Oh and god help you if your not the shiznit in WarCraft. That 13 year old will cuse you out and threathen to tell all of his script kiddie friends how much suck. When that happens, which does a lot, I log off and go have a beer and then have sex with my girlfriend.

  15. That's nice on Xport 2 Turns Game Boy Advance Into Embedded Microcontroller · · Score: 0

    It would have been more impressive if they made this out of old N-Gage parts and ear wax.

  16. Re:Forget functionality on Nintendo's GCNext Direction Outlined By Iwata · · Score: -1

    I still play Final Fantasy and Castlevania PSX games on my PS2. You can get the games for 15 to 20 bucks. Backwards compatibility is a must for any console rig. Just look at how many pissed off people there are about the rumors that xbox games won't play on XBox 2. People feel cheated and taken advantage of when a game company says "hey fan boy. shell out another 300 dollars for this shiney new system and oh by the way, the hunderds of dollars you spent on our previous system is out the window now."

  17. There is still 63% screwing up. on Playing Video Games Makes For Better Surgeons · · Score: -1

    Basically they are saying that if you play a game x number of hours a week you have a 1/3 chance of doing the surgery right. However, what is up with the other 2/3 doctors. What are they playing? Why do they suck so much? Can I get a health Insurance discount when I use on these doctors? So many questions, too few answers

  18. But on On The Muse Of The Videogame · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you teach creativity then who will produce tomorrows Madden 2012 or Megan Man X+9^5 OR Part 6 of some shitty Platform game? Please think of the children and keep making cookie cutter games. Creativity only breeds contempt and dillusions of self worth.

  19. What about? on How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth? · · Score: 0

    What about injecting Borg nano probes into the warp core destablizers, creating a quantum ratio of 2.9 emhz, which would create a slip stream tunnel for my Chevy S-10.

  20. What doesn't Linux run on? on Australia's Great Linux-Based Satellite Network · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Linux powers my orbiting brain lasers and genetically engineered cyber goats. Linux give me the power to crush those who oppose us. You know I would be more impressed if you could get all those satellites running on a bewoulf cluster of Atari 2600's. I'm going to stop ranting now and get back to work.

  21. REZ can be addicting on History Of Video Game Music Explored · · Score: 0

    I dream of the words "Fear is the mind killer". That game is so simple but so involving because of the music.

  22. Every frigin game on Strangest Retro Videogame Plots Pondered · · Score: 0

    When you think about, most games are out there when it came to story. Think about it. Most games are the reflection of a 15 year old japanese school girl on ecstacy.

  23. $40 Million is a bargain on Half-Life 2's Technical Details, Cost Estimates · · Score: 1, Funny

    The movie Gigli cost $54 million!. If price == quality then Half Life is going to blow! Kidding of course.

  24. Good on Microsoft to Cut XBox Price to $149? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Nintendo should follow MS's lead and drop the game cube to 70 bucks. That would be gangsta tight.

  25. Who the hell ? on Asteroid to Make Closest Recorded Pass to Earth · · Score: 0

    Who's shooting all these asteriods at us? Has Johnny Ricco and the RoughNecks been alerted to this?
