'If someone buys a DVD and watches it on the Nintendo GameCube, we wouldn't receive any revenue from that. We'd rather have them play our games.'
News flash asshole nobody is playing your games. Your dead last in the "console wars" and nobody wants to play mario with a stupid water gun. After I play Madden 2004 on PS2 I think I'll watch some Old School on DVD and keep all my disposable income away from Nintendo.
Having to go out and buy a USB modem for 65 bucks when I have a perfectly good winmodem in my computer. Why is the winmodem the most mysterious pieces of hardware for the linux community? I could have spent my 65 dollars on pot and porn like all good script kiddies do.
I did the trial for gamefly and I have to say they have good prices and a huge library of games. However, I discontinued the service because of the mail time factor. They are based in California and I'm in DC. To mail back a game and get another one takes 8 days! Pretty hard to get your game on when your waiting over a week.
I use to be rabid Starwars freak back in the day (owned all the toys, stood in line for god knows how long for the special edition movies, etc.) but I feel Mr.Lucas Jumped the shark on the franchise awhile ago. People please! How many times can you play the battle of hoth before your eyes bleed and you go brain dead. Face it, the new movies produce horrible characters and games, the old movies are becoming stale and irrelavent. Let it go people. I'm waiting for a decent Farscape or Star Gate SG1 game./destroying all my childhood memories
Good point. I loved FF7 because it had the quarky plot and the CGI cut scenes only lasted a couple of minutes at most. With that said I'll keep my eyes open on the next installment but I'm not pre-ordering. You here me Square Soft!!?
Personaly FFX was horrible. 90% of the game was CGI movies. Where was the game play? Where was the interesting characters? Square Soft made all you fan boys its little bitch.
Good point. All you think it's so cool to hack an XBOX with Linux (okay actually it is pretty cool) but then complain about this mystical freeLoader being incompatiable. Please! all you guys are suppose to be elite Programmer/Hacker/Engineers (in theory). Okay guys go out there and show Nintendo just what your made of.
Phase1: Spend millions of dollars developing a game that will only run on 10% of computers. Phase2: ??? Phase3: Profit!
Hey Kids! Do you have a rich white daddy that gives you a huge allowance every week to spend on upgrading your already tricked out computer? Then do we have a game for you!
I heard about full sail 2 years ago and visited the campus. The studio where they teach games is very impressive. 3 huge screens on the wall where the Instructer teaches while everybody sits at their computers that is on a semi-super computer network. However, there program seemed to be more of a crash course in game design. Supposedly, you get your A.A in just over a year. Thats with all the programming and math courses. I don't know about you but teaching people with no experience how to program 3D worlds in one year seems a bit much.
Jesus tap dancing christ. Send your kids to little league or force them to take up a hobby like painting or something athletic. Teach your kids programming and all they will have is a hard life of unemployment and no sex.
It says that you can recharge your SP up to 100 times before the Lithium Ion battery goes dead. So my question is where do you get another battery? I don't believe any of the stores are selling them.
God my nerdar is going through the roof. Bitching about Star Trek on Slashdot; No hot women for you! Wait, I'm posting a comment on a Star Trek thread on slashdot. Oh shit, I'm a nerd too. Damn you Khan!!!!!!!
"Jill Tarter and the Allen Telescope Array" sounds like an awesome 80's progressive rock band.
Hello Cleveland!! Are you ready to rock?! Give it up for Jill Tarter and the Allen Telescope Array!!!
I still say that the worest episode was when Springfield found out that Principal Skinner was somebody else and that the real Skinner was in a Vietnamese tiger cage for 20 years. I don't think I laughed once.
I've been a casual user of Linux now for about 1.5 years. Although I haven't had to much trouble with it (installations, installing new apps, etc.) it still has a ways to go. If you guys want Linux to be in prime time, you have to start building a system and apps don't require the command prompt for 100% efficiency. What little old lady or freakin secretary or non-computer literate bimbo is going to choose Linux or windows? Hey look I can click on a executable file and install an app on XP. But hell if I want to install an app on my linux box I have to compile the program with a new library. Then if i want to make it run I have to type a bunch of commands. Don't get me wrong, I like the option of all this. I like how the system is open ended and with a little smarts and adventerous attitude you can do anything on Linux. But, JMZ's rant had a point. Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc. plays everything right out of the box. It's called user friendly.
I ran into the same thing when I was at the University of Scranton. Everybodies voice mail password was defaulted to their room number at the beginning of the year. However, most people never changed it. So I would dial in to their voice mail, leave a rather rude sexual explicit voice mail greeting and then change their password. Oh the fun and the horror.

----Booting up my PS2 which requires no upgrades
Now if we can get a lawsuit going on George Lucas then things will get interesting.
Mesa thinks de star wars franchise jumped the shark a long long time ago.

I will celebrate it by spending extra time downloading porn.

This kind of thing gives nerds a bad name. Go out side and kiss a girl or play soft ball or something healthy and not in doors for god sakes!!!
Unless I can watch porn in a *.avi format on my Red Hat box, I don't care.
but can you masturbate to it?
Because nobody suspects the butterfly!
I'm going to patent a style sheet I just created for my website. Eat that!
