  1. Languages on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 1

    Forget if netspeak is making people more proficient or not in the english language, what about the fact the internet is destroying slowly the use for other languages? Not taking sides, just bringing a debate. Personally I can't wait until we all speak and write in phonetics.

    And this is bull, netspeak is making teen's brains rot. We are just showing them that it doesn't matter how you write, and it's going to propagate to other things. Procrastinate!

  2. Retards on Google Fires Blogger? · · Score: 1

    If you think that you can get away with talking about people (or even worse, businesses), good or bad, you're plainly idiotic. Open up a blog and talk about everything your spouse does, and then make her read it. Chances are at some point she'll get pissed, it's a major argument to anyone who maintains a website of a personal nature. Keep it separate or anonymous, or both. My two cents.

  4. Worthless on Review: World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    This review does not speak of even one of the flaws ot WoW. A perfect score should only be reserved to a game that's flawless, and a game that has washy PvP, a less than stellar performance currently, queues to get in the server extending to 2h30 on prime time and the really annoying regular maintenance right in my playtime make it less than perfect.

    This looks more like an ad that goes into the game features in detail rather than a critique. I suggest the reviewer gets himself a marketing job instead of a critical-thinking job.

    Of course I enjoy WoW a lot, but I clearly see it has flaws like any other games, it just has severely less of them. But the ones WoW has right now are more than annoying, they are up to the level of downright irritation. It really feels like they don't know where they're going at this point with the game, maintenance hours for example were implemented a short while ago, and in the last 3 days were done twice out of scedule, and extended beyond 1 hour.

    I've been trying to play with friends, it's really hard to keep our levels together and have quests we can do together unless we keep the same schedule and pay attention not to do things others haven't done already. This is a fatal MMORPG flaw, the inability to play with friends of all levels without hurting gameplay (twinking, power leveling are some aspects).

    I'd like a real review now, this was a colossal waste of my time, which I have a lot but meh.

  5. Re:Computer controlled gaming = sad. on Review: World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    "Wake me up when they make a MM Action RPG like Diablo."

    Have you even tried WoW? It's exactly what you asked. It's a cross to me between Wizardry 8, Diablo and Morrowind.

    As for the 15$ a month, anyone bringing this argument is very cheap. MMOs save me from buying 2-3 games per month at 60$ minimum a copy.

    "Diablo in my opinion was the first step to truly enjoying combat with different moves for your characters"

    Yeah like there's dozens of ways to fight an opponent in Diablo. Suuuure.

  8. Easy way to correct this on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 1

    Give them better facial quirks. If you see a CG animated character and his traits do not follow what he is trying to convey, he seems less human. I frown when i question something, i smile when i'm happy, i push back my lips when i'm wondering about something.

    Without that, they feel artificial. I think a good CG character i didn't notice too much because they exagerated his facial traits was "Charming" in Shrek. The fact they made it so caricatural was, ironically, what made him seem more real.

    That 1% missing from the "Valley" is attainable, but people are reluctant to bridge the gap (not to mention we don't have the power... yet) because it would make them too real.

    Maybe it's a deep down, subsconscious fear that machines will one day be indistiguishable from real humans and cause problems. Think Terminator.

  12. Those who forget history... on Positive Reviews For Nvidia' GeForce 6800 Ultra · · Score: 1

    Trust me, after the Radeon 8500 fiasco (remember the first pre catalyst drivers? 6013 i think?) i never want to touch a brand new card again. I'd rather have solid drivers with a slightly older card.

    Never, ever touch the bleeding edge. You know why they call it that? Because you will cry tears of blood when your game locks up every 30 minutes. Leave this crappy card to the experts.

    With the "release now, deal with issues and patch later" mentality of the video card/gaming industry, i say stay the hell away. Good benchmarks or not.

    PS : Don't consider 3DMark as a good source of information for a card that's running ForceWare, i'm sure there are still some "speed hacks" in there.

  13. Re:See my Gosling msoking weed post on James Gosling On The Sun/Microsoft Settlement · · Score: 1

    That makes absolutely no sense at all. Not than you don't have valid points, but the english language is a tool used to get understood by everyone. Randomly pulling PR bullshit and dubious numbers out of your behind does not contribute to people better understanding this issue whatsoever.

  14. Dark Side? on James Gosling On The Sun/Microsoft Settlement · · Score: 1

    "We have not sold our soul to the Dark Side."

    A tad bit childish. Sun are not the angelic good guys. Microsoft are not the bad guys. Leave the Dungeons and Dragon or Starwars attitude at home.
