  1. Re:Cool on Balloon and Duct Tape Deliver Great Space Photos · · Score: 4, Informative

    yep. last september, a couple of kids from MIT... total cost was less than $150.

  2. OLD NEWS on Parasites Makes Us Dumber or Sexier · · Score: 1

    this is old! we've already known about these aspects of t. gondii for years now. fucking wake up, you cat-loving schizos. at any rate, the only important question imho is "when can we start the kitty genocide?" yeah... suck it, zombies.

  3. Re:Get rid of Golden Tee on Arcade Golf Game Fraud Scandal Revealed, Probed · · Score: 1

    While I can't speak for Mr. Smith, I believe the bothersome issue of the ubiquitous Golden Tees is that of choice, not the game itself. Most or many bars have, maybe half a dozen to a dozen or so coin-op entertainment machines... a typical breakdown would include pool/darts/jukebox, maybe foosball, air hockey if you're lucky, a pinball machine if you're really lucky, two or three phony gambling machines with poker or blackjack, and then one or two arcade games. The arcade game is Golden Tee, 99.9% of the time. That's cool for people like baxt3r, but it's lame for the rest of us. (The other game, if there is one, is usually a sit-down racing game, where $1.00 = 1 credit.)

    I was at a bar recently that had (in addition to the Golden Tee machine) another, MAME-ish type cabinet. It offered maybe 50 games, such as Street Fighter II Turbo, Final Fight, Rastan, and older Atari-ish classics. A great idea, and easy to implement, but certainly an exeception to the rule.

  4. Leaks on ISS May Have A Leak · · Score: 1

    I hope they find the astronaut that was responsible for this leak, because I would love to see him frog-marched out of the ISS.

  5. Re:Pinball2000 on Lord Of The Rings Pinball Machine Announced · · Score: 1

    That is very unfortunate because, IIRC, they made a Star Wars pinball-2000 machine, right at the end, that I played like twice.

    ...Years later, I still dream of this machine, with its holograms, lightsabers, and plastic Jar Jar.

  6. here's a good one on What MUDs Do You Play? · · Score: 1

    Hack N Slash RPGD: Go here to download the free client. (Recommended)

    Or just telnet to games.microwavesoft.com:7000
    Source is available here.

  7. mod parent troll on Protests, Politics And Parties In MMORPGs · · Score: 1
    The good news is that his ass is so fat he needed to buy two plane tickets. That means there was one fewer hard-working, non commie-pinko, American on that plane when it crashed.

    (OT, I know, but...) Would someone seriously tell me why people post stuff like this? I'm not super offended or anything, I just don't get it, really...
    is it like a weird sexual fetish or can't they find alt.troll or are they really grade-schoolers or what? (The trolls at Fark usually stay on topic at least, and sometimes they are even subtle...)
    TIA!
  8. What about.... on Top Videogame Boss Fights Rated · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...Mother Brain?! For its time, Metroid's end battle was pretty innovative, IMHO... i.e., "disconnecting" her life support, the time bomb (I bet every player, upon seeing that message the first time, gasped a collective, "Oh shit!"), etc. Not to mention the fact that, oddly enough, the Mother Brain didn't even attack you; which could've been a bad idea, but I believe it was properly & cleverly executed by Gunpei Yokoi and the rest of the M1 team. And Super Metroid totally upped the ante with their new implementation of Mother Brain, as well.

  9. ...It's like a family name on Iceman Otzi was a Fighter · · Score: 1

    Goathearding + Rectal exams + Violently angry people?

    It's painfully obvious that the Otzi guy is actually the long-lost ancestor of the Goatse guy.

  10. Re:Logical fallacies on Judge Decides X-Men Aren't Human · · Score: 1

    ...I think it was an "unanswerable question"; i.e., part rhetorical question + part rhetorical diss.
