A friend and I decided to play some real world checkers. Everything was going fine until he jumped one of my pieces. The damned thing didn't move!
We stared at it for 15 minutes, waiting for it to disappear or leap off the board. Nothing. Finally we managed to prod it off with a stick.
Never will I trust a computer game again.
Next year we're gonna take best picture. And we're gonna take best costumes, and we're gonna take best makeup, and we're gonna take best special effects, and best editing and-- YERRAAAAARRRRGGH!
Anything that makes noise can be used for musical purposes. Tiny kiddie keyboards, Speak n Spells, etc. Always fun to take apart, add audio outputs, extra knobs, buttons etc.
Skinner: Not the interrogative, but rather a windowing system with the unlikely name of "Y".
Chalmers: Well that's just great, Seymour. We've been out here six seconds and you've already managed to blow the routine.

I loved comic books. I loved video games. I loved my Amiga.
Then I discovered hate.
It came to me in the form of a game with such sluggishly awful controls that I cursed the day that Dr. Doom decided to take his revenge.
With Captain American and Spidey moving at about 60 frames per hour you had no real desire to stop the evil Doctor. Was the included comic any consolation?
Isn't this what 3D0 tried... and failed miserably at?
Sort of... except with this system all the software is already out there. No porting or console specific development (as with the 3D0). Could be interesting, maybe they'll be a spectacular failure instead!
Live video mixing is nothing new. I've seen several shows with crazy live video, usually smaller name groups in clubs. VJ Central has reviews of many different pieces of software that allow live mixing. Most of them allow routing of MIDI control (keyboard, knobs, sliders) to the software.
This device is cool because it gives video mixing the same feel as a turntable. Maybe the VJ will take center stage now instead of being hidden in the back
There are many standard sound effects libraries (Warner Bros, Lucas Film, etc.) that TV/game studios purchase for use, so don't be surprised if you keep hearing the same sounds.
I heard a camel in some Jackie Chan movie make the same sound that a Doom grunt makes. It freaked me out man.
I hadn't heard of that so I Googled for it and found this.
But I also accidently found this other Turok marketing thingy, where they brainwash you into thinking you're Turok or something. Now I'm not exactly sure if that means that you become the video game character, the video game itself, or the $10,000 baby.
Either way you get "500 in cash, plus an X-Box, plus every Turok game that ever was." I woulda settled for a $2 and firm pat on the buttocks.
The vandal who put this in the CVS code tree obviously had a lot of skill.
That's right. These aren't just ordinary hackers. They must be... 1337 warez d00dz. And why are they infiltrating BitKeeper? You guessed it. Half-Life wall hacks.
Gentlemen, we are dealing with a couple of sick individuals.
The three brothers that won the settlement the other day are by far the biggest creditor, so I assume that they get first crack at any assets when X10 goes under.
That's a lot of little cameras to play with.
Sorority houses had better watch out for any suspicious plumbers coming to "fix the shower".

We should all just link to our old complaints.

Nerd rage rising... deep breath... don't lose pocket protector...
Any site that has its own theme song has to be good.... uh.

And no Raymond Burr! Hooray!
And no Harry Shearer either... (only memorable thing about the 98 US version)
And you yelled at last years oscars too.

It was an airplane AND the Columbia crashing into a sky scraper! What the?!?!
For fans of 70's camp, Japanese game shows, and drugs.
I run a couple linux distros and that's almost--
er, I'm a loser.
SCO? Have they done something wrong?
*runs*
You must be a Coke drinker...
Yes, this Caridi guy was the sole source. Guess you can stop looking! Right, everyone?

No. It sucked too.
I hate you, Dr. Doom's Revenge.

Unfortunately, the 'selection' process of the record companies doesn't really help that problem, since they select more on sex appeal
I know! I keep wondering why no one's offered me a record deal.

The vibrator game.
there's gonna be a bunch of seriously pissed off Zelda fans.
And we all know what they're like!
When people realize that when one slashdot user speaks, he doesn't speak for all slashdot users.
Unless he's the Lorax! He speaks for the geeks!
Or maybe he speaks for something else. Can't remember.
