  1. Re:My dyslexia talking on Koster's Areae Unveils Metaplace · · Score: 1

    I see Meatplace. Sounds like a happy, but extremely gross place to be.

  2. Re:My humble take on it all... on Half-Life Beats Half-Life 2 Over Time? · · Score: 1

    It's great that they keep bringing out new skins, now if they could just make a bot that can actually get a nade through a window and not have it bounce back on a rushing team mate...

    Yes, they should get all those lazy texture artists and modellers over to the coding room to whip up some advanced AI real quick!

  3. Re:'We are not the Star Wars company' on LucasArts Aims for #1 · · Score: 1

    I meant that it is too bad for them if their goal really is to be more than just "The Star Wars game company."

  4. 'We are not the Star Wars company' on LucasArts Aims for #1 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    But we'll kill a finished Sam & Max game in a second! They would do better to stop just releasing Star Wars games and little else if they want to change that perception. It's too bad most of their adventure gaming people have moved on to places like Telltale.

  5. This is news? on Reviewing the Real Super Mario Brothers 2 · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think most of us knew this ages ago. The "real" Super Mario Bros. 2 has been available in collections since the SNES era.

  6. "spring back from the brink of nonexistence?" on The Oblivion of Western RPGs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What's this crap about Western RPGs being on the brink of nonexistance? I guess all those games by Bethesda, Bioware, etc. don't exist?

  7. Re:It probably went like this... on Gentoo Founder Quits Microsoft · · Score: 1

    That doesn't sound like a problem to me...

  8. Re:Interesting... on Blackberry Blackout Threat to Software as Service? · · Score: 1

    The servers are in Canada, or at least they were.

  9. Re:STOP TAKING BLACK BOX VOTING STORIES on Diebold's Election Data Off-limits · · Score: 2, Informative

    This doesn't change any of the facts. There's no reason we should be denied the ability to audit our own voting process.

  10. Re:Goddamn marketing-speak on Making Franchise Cross-Overs · · Score: 1

    Authorization granted to someone to sell or distribute a company's goods or services in a certain area.

    The company's IP is their service. Also, stop pretending language is static.

  11. Re:A message for those who didn't read the parent: on A Look at Gaming in 2010 · · Score: 1

    So you need "reason" not to like something now? It was a crappy and humorless article.

  12. Re:Wrong on Bloodrayne Officially Awful · · Score: 1

    Worthless crap is always worthless crap. And it taints anything it is based on by association.

  13. Re:Apple? on Yahoo Launches Dashboard · · Score: 1

    Stupid me. I meant trademark. Thanks.

  14. Apple? on Yahoo Launches Dashboard · · Score: 1

    Did Apple forget to copyright "Dashboard?"

  15. Re:Clunkers. on Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"? · · Score: 0

    How is BeOS any more "modern" than NeXT (OSX). It also runs on a BSD (UNIX) kernel, and provides it's own media and widget layers. The number of similarities between the two OSes is striking. And if you are going to count out anything UNIX based, BeOS is obviously out. I love Be, but I love NeXT/OSX, too. I'm not going to ignore the UNIX underpinnings on either (I consider them very beneficial).

  16. Re:More like Ethernet is the clunker! on Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"? · · Score: 1

    Hardware QoS "garauntees" won't mean anything if they get routed over an interface without hardware QoS. Any decent QoS will need to be handled by your router infrastructure. Also, with Gigabit and 10Gbps Ethernet now and faster variants on the horizon, I hardly think it will be Ethernet holding us back.

  17. Re:Cool, but too late on Reincarnating the NES · · Score: 2

    I was very psyched about this until I read some very negative reviews by sites I trust a lot more than IGN. Pass.

  18. Re:Violation of my rights on Symantec Restricts Crypto Export · · Score: 1

    I'm not in favor of this, but calling it a violation of your right to free speech is totally ridiculous. Free speech clearly means personal expression, not technical data. Or do you somehow believe people be able to send munitions plans to Iran in the name of free speech?

  19. Re:How about RPG's for Laptops? on Games That Travel Well · · Score: 1

    Get DOSbox and those old RPG collections (if you can find them). Some guy posted up a few in another thread: Ultima Collection - Ultima 1-8, expansions Ultimate Wizardry Archives - Wizardry 1-7 Ultimate Might & Magic Archives - Might & Magic 1-5 Forgotten Realms Archives - All SSI D&D Gold Box Games Ultimate RPG Archives - Bards Tale, Ultima Underworlds, Wasteland, etc.

  20. Re:Whining marketers on Nessus 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    And that feature has been taken away. It is no requirement that the venodr keep offering that feature.

  21. Re:One of Reasons on Slow Start For the 360 in Japan · · Score: 1

    When I was in Yokohama in 1999/2000, I saw a lot of SUVs. Nothing like here, but a lot more than you would expect or need with a large purely urban population..

  22. Hopefully on New Worm Chats with Users on AIM · · Score: 1

    This will cause some smarter people to stop typing "lol" every other message.

  23. Re:El Controller & El Price on Reflections On The Revolution · · Score: 1

    I want a tennis rocket.

  24. Re:Child's play on Jack Thompson vs Amazon? · · Score: 1

    How did this get modded to +4? Child's Play has nothing to do with JT. Nothing at all.

  25. Re:And this makes me trust Yahoo's map how? on Yahoo Map Engineers Prank Google · · Score: 1

    I'm really sure this has had an extremely detrimental impact on your life.
