  2. Re:Smash TV on Eugene Jarvis to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award · · Score: 1
    Not true. Ikari Warriors (at least the arcade version) has a joystick that you could move in 8 directions but also ROTATE. Moving the stick controlled you movement and rotating the stick controlled the firing direction. There were quite a few games that came out with this control mechanisms - my favorite was heavy Barrel.

    http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/a/a0080600.html says addicting is right. I, too, don't like the word addicting and prefer addictive. Brian

    Your post will be summarily deleted without further notice. You have used the word "marvel" when speaking about COH. This is not allowed.

  6. Slashdot a float? on Caltech and JPL Build 50ft Robot · · Score: 0

    Will this be the first time we can slashdot a float?

    "their games will still let players be Michael Vick and the rest of the Atlanta Football Team"

    But won't it be Michael Vick playing playing for the Duluth Beavers (or something similar)?

  8. Re:Solution for competitors on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    That pretty much happens already - you can download rosters with real college players names/numbers/stats. That was the first thing I did when I got NCAA 2005 Football.

    "NFL lawyers, you may arrest me now."

    Thanks goodness lawyers can't actually arrest people.

  10. 3 words.... on Guide to your Perfect Digital Camera · · Score: 5, Informative

    Worst flash ever. It's one thing to have useless flash on an artsy site, but to use flash like this on a site/page that should be informative is worse than annoying. I would have read the article if it were plain HTML, but after 15 seconds of the flash navigation, I left and won't be back.

  11. Re:Screw the hardware on Tom's Holiday Buying Guide · · Score: 1

    How was this modded up as Informative?

  12. Re:Hard drive swap.. on Microsoft Banning Modded Xboxen · · Score: 1

    It's been done. Not sure if it gets you into Live now though. I don't have the link with me, but if I remember it was some xbox site with Llama in the name and hteyu have lots of tutorials. ugly hack though - they had the new HD sitting on top of the xbox.

    TrayWizard for Windows allows you to send ANY app to the tray. It's a free app - google it.

    Out of curiousity - what P2P app were you using to share? Just wondering which one(s) they are monitoring.

    You're obviously not a true gamer - the "end guy" is called a "boss". :)

    Have you looked at his NES hardware hacks he has done? Incredible. Seeing those, I can't beleive that this is a hoax.

  18. XBOX: Kung Fu Chaos, I-Ninja, and Malice on British Developer Argonaut Undergoing Restructuring · · Score: 1

    Some may be more familiar with these three titles. Kung Fu Chaos was pretty good. I haven't tried the other two.

  19. Re:I wouldn't worry too much... on Adware Companies Buying Game Developers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It may be that they are going to give the game away for free (and you get adware for free too)

  20. Re:Fix on Whopping-Big Data Theft At U.C. Berkeley · · Score: -1

    Why the heck was this modded insightful?

    Have you sen the latest AOL commercials where they say they listen to their members' input and the yhave improved the internet? Since when does AOL control the internet?

  22. Re:Emergency Brakes on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 1

    Yeah - I'm suspicious of this whole thing. The article says "I stomped on the brakes as hard as I could and the car finally stopped". If I found myself barreling along at 120MPH the FIRST thing I would try is stomping on the brakes and I would have the brakes floored til I stopped or crashed. brian
