    A young luke Skywalker reminds me of a young indiana jones. That series wasn't that interesting either.

    "You can't after all, market crap". Are you not leaving yourself wide open for the Apple fanbois to chirp in with some sort of anti-Microsoft remark?

  13. Re:Why Movies Suck on Movies Losing Popularity at Box Office · · Score: 1

    It is when the small indie film is in all the major cinemas. You're telling me that a $5 million dollar movie like Lost in Translation works out the same as a $200 million dollar movie? The price isn't variable its a set rate regardless of advertising or audience's.

    How come the cheaper independent movies cost the same as a over priced typical hollywood movie?

    I've come to realise that only 5% of the site is unsafe as well, mostly to do with porn not being porn but a man wearing suspenders over his legs and face squatting in disturbing poses.

  17. Re:More Stupid Censorship and Irony on Graffiti Game Banned in Australia · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I use to believe that our violent urges could be taken out on a game but that was before i realised that children today grow up in a world full of violence and they cannot appreciate the games like people a generation older than them can because we didn't grow up with it. Of course parents or lack of parents play a part. Today i don't think the younger gamer can or wants to make a difference between the reality of life and the reality of a computer game. Don't forget, TV in some countries doesn't allow certain types of drama to be screened before a certain time as well, not everybody makes the correct distinction. Violent need to be handled correctly by the suppliers and parents and if parents are not going to help then they need banning by the government. Even porno is supposed to be out of reach for children (hence top shelf) and its not violent, there is a time for everything in a child's life to experience things, the least we could do is make sure it doesn't corrupt them by over stimulating them with unrealistic outlets for their expression.

  18. What about silent movies? on Using Watermarks to Combat Piracy · · Score: 1

    There are some real classics out there, you know like those Charlie Chaplin films. How do they convert this technology towards downloaded movies, especially silent ones. Will they change the narrative text between scenes or something? If not can this be seen as a workout which can be used in more modern films because they are more "recent". Jaws isn't as good without the sound!

  19. Re:This IS new! on NASA Begins Work on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter · · Score: 0, Troll

    I thought they already mapped it anyway a few years ago. Glad you curbed your dog.

  20. Big Deal on NASA Begins Work on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter · · Score: 0

    How about actually doing something with the moon rather than mapping it again. How about we get this colonization process underway hey? Learn something about the human condition in outer space, practice with new technologies or "new theories" rather than knowing where every nook and cranny of the moon is?

    Thank you for informing me on that one, some of Gas powered games have made it to the mac so i am hopeful it will soon after the windows release.

    Big Berther, that was an awesome weapon. Those brawlers i thought were brilliant at first, everybody thought that. In the end I moved up to 6 advanced airports churning out stealth fighters about 50 each even though there was a 200 unit limit. Nothing stood in my way when 100+ stealths were on the move and unsuspected. Each airport had 6 nano planes helping build them so reinforcements were on their way incase of a surprise from the opponent.
    When the mods came out, I liked building those huge fusion generators that could cloak and produce 1000 energy. I always played Arm, never could get the Core. I also remember hiding zippy's (advanced stealth kbot) behind trees and left them to guard without roaming. For a while I got away with that tactic because they couldn't be seen right away, most thought they were planes flying over head or something.
    Thanks for the link, i could kiss you. I've not read whether its mac compatible so don't hold out for the kiss anyway.

  24. Re:Total Annihilation, Neverwinter Nights. on Games That Keep You Coming Back? · · Score: 2

    I remember going ape shit over TA when i saw it in PCZONE, double page spread, Arm bombers dropping a load over Core Tanks. I bought it there and then in my mind. My only regret was not having enough time to get all the updates over the years and losing the game. God damn, its the only game I regret not playing any more. What made it worse, it still hasn't been surpassed. Warzone 2100 came really close but it wasn't as really gripping (except for that level where there is a nuke heading to your base and you have to evac your troops while defending the base at the same time) or as personal, also it didn't make it big time. Having your own commander as you made it for me. The most powerful unit being you was also the most vunverable so you took great care over it.
