  1. How sweet would it be... on Geek Olympics Code for Gold · · Score: 5, Funny

    How sweet would it be to have cheerleaders for this kind of thing?

  2. JASON MEWES IN REHAB?! on Kevin Smith set for Clerks sequel · · Score: 4, Funny

    Surely you jest. No way would he would indulge in illegal goods.

  3. Re:Word To You, Bro on Word Up · · Score: 3, Informative

    In response to RE and LA being words, that's because they're on the music scale or something like that. DO, RE, ME, FA, SO, LA, and TI are all also words. And if you use or someone else uses them, you can pretty easily add onto them(E.G. RE one turn, then add QUIRE onto it, and that's two turns) and then you can rack up some big points.

    /Me is a closet Scrabble nerd

  4. Re:Robin? on Batman Begins Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    You've gotta allow popups for that site, then it works. It's a javascript pop-up, like most of the bad kind.

  5. Christopher Walkin on Celebrity Casting For LOTR · · Score: 1

    I would love to see Christopher Walkin as about every character.

  6. It's nice to know... on RIAA Continues Distributing Dud CDs to Satisfy Settlement · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's nice to know someone in the RIAA has a sense of humor.

  7. Proper Noun Recognition on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 1

    1. A Light version of Firefox to just give basic browser functions and not be bogged down by all the fancy stuff.

    2. Suggested already, but bookmark management would be SO AWESOME. I have like 15 folders full of like 20 websites each, and it's a complete mess. I'm thinking a hotkey to open up a bar to search through them. That would be incredibly helpful.

    3. I would love to see the BugMeNot extension hosted on mozilla servers, because I've had to use BugMeNot sometimes and I've been unable to access their servers because of downtime or something.

    4. As of right now, you can highlight any text and right click and it'll search Google for your highlighted text. Maybe this is an extension, I can't remember. But anyway, you should defenitely extend it to include other engines.

  8. Bah! on Evil Dead Game Sequel Confirmed By Bruce Campbell · · Score: 1

    You're all crazy! Fistfull of Boomstick was an awesome game, although too short. I dunno if anyone was expecting a particularly thought provoking story line from an Evil Dead game. The main objective in ANY Evil Dead game has got to be tearing zombies apart with chainsaws, and Fistfull of Boomstick excels at that.

    Hail to the king, baby.

  9. Arena on TV Execs' Attempts To Lure Gamers Not Always Best · · Score: 1

    The G4 channel has a show called Arena, where they have teams of people go head to head in Unreal, Mechwarrior, DDR, etc. and it's a really great show. I watch it all the time.

    So to answer the question: Yes, yes we will.

  10. Re:Ahead of the trend. on Extreme Yo-Yoing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Funny and true. Yo-yo's were major weapons in the Earthbound Series.

    And if it's in Earthbound, it must be true.

  11. Re:Major Problem on The Trouble With Using D&D Rules In Videogames? · · Score: 1

    Ah. I skipped D&D completely then. I figured the 10 different rulebooks was just part of the territory.

    May you be modded up, my friend.

  12. Major Problem on The Trouble With Using D&D Rules In Videogames? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It still doesn't tell how Advanced Dungeons and Dragons is different from regular Dungeons and Dragons. I've asked around and no one knows. I'm starting to think nerds just made it up to sound smart.

    "I'm playing Dungeons and Dragons."
    "Oh yeah? I'm playing ADVANCED Dungeons and Dragons"

  13. Re:Current US Administration on What Should a Documentary Filmmaker Ask About Offshoring? · · Score: 1

    They obviously haven't fixed it if it's still happening.

  14. Current US Administration on What Should a Documentary Filmmaker Ask About Offshoring? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What has the current US administration done to effect outsourcing, and what viable options could they do in the future to fix it?

  15. Here's an idea on Star Wars Episode 3 Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    Maybe this article is just trying to make us forget about all the other movies that shouldn't have been made.

  16. I agree, but... on GameFAQs' Own 'Best. Game. Ever.' Contest Launched · · Score: 1

    I agree with most of those, but I also think Final Fantasy V will get totally passed up in about all of these game contests, being as it never made it to the SNES in the United States, where it would've had a lot more of an impact. It DID come out later with one of those anthology collections, but never had the impact in the US like Final Fantasy 2(4) or 3(6) did.

  17. Re:The gf? on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only 3? HAH! N00b.

  18. Re:2 words... on GameSpot Recaps 25-Year History of SNK · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No argument there.

    My friends and I still get together to have huge Baseball Stars tournaments.

  19. They've got plenty of tactics on Independent Game Studios Talk Tactics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Independent game companies usually have plenty of tactics, or else they wouldn't be as popular as they are. For example, I've been hooked on reading everything I can about an upcoming game called Guild Wars. This is going to be one hell of a game. Their kickers are going to be a non pay-to-play MMORPG(which, IMO, is huge) and "creating a game that's both easy to learn and compelling to play long term, and yet doesn't require players to spend hundreds of hours slogging through the preparation just to get to the fun bits." Defenitely going to be a game to watch.

  20. But then again on Putting a 1.48GHz Tualatin CPU in an Xbox · · Score: 5, Funny

    72GB WD SATA Raptor ~$100

    NVidia GeForce FX 5900 ~$300

    AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 ~$750


    Making your little brother cry until he wets his pants because you owned him at Halo on your suped-up Xbox - Priceless

  21. Starfox all the way.... on Nintendo, Miyamoto Preview 2004 Releases · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Starfox has always been one of my favorites. I remember back in the day when it was the first for SNES to have some kind of super FX chip, and it blew us away! And the Nintendo 64 one was even better. I'm super anxious for the next installment. That last Starfox didn't have anything to do with how the game is traditionally done, and it was pretty bland as a zelda rip-off.

  22. What surprises me... on On Going Pro At Magic - The Gathering · · Score: 4, Funny

    What really surprised me is how the author wrote 6 PAGES about a guy playing Magic: The Gathering.

    And I read the whole thing.

  23. Love SCO, or you're a terrorist on The 101 Dumbest Moments in Business · · Score: -1, Redundant

    83 How to win friends and influence software sales.

    "Terrorists do things designed to intimidate people, and we see a lot of that going on all the time--people trying to attack us or people that we're associated with."--SCO Group CEO Darl McBride, complaining about the backlash from hundreds of thousands of Linux users after the former Linux software vendor sued IBM, a major Linux proponent, for allegedly violating its intellectual-property rights.

  24. Re:Zip on Slashback: Zip, Language, Opportunism · · Score: 5, Insightful

    XP's zipping isn't good. Download 7-zip instead. Totally free, no fancy crap, and works great for all kinds of archives. You'll thank me later.

  25. Re:Simple Physics on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    The speed of light isn't a constant, you insensitive clod!

    It fluctuates with the material it passes through. Duh.
