  1. Re:What ever happened to the 64DD? on A Lost Miyamoto Project - Super Mario 128 · · Score: 1

    Wait, you're telling me there's a random track generator? I've never even HEARD of that one before. I was pretty good at it in years past but I don't play any more because my N64 controller joysticks are messed up and I have no good controllers for my computer. I'm planning on buying F-Zero X on the virtual console for the Wii as soon as I can. Tell me more about this "random track" feature.

  2. Re:quote the Wikipedia on A Lost Miyamoto Project - Super Mario 128 · · Score: 1
    With the release of the Nintendo GameCube, many games that had been released or were still in development for the 64DD were released on the GameCube instead.
    Such as Eternal Darkness, no? Good thing that game made it to the Cube, because it deserved to be played.

    It was released in Japan and was a commercial failure. I would've loved to have one, though, even if only to play with the F-Zero X track editor and to have some nice new tracks to race on. I don't know what other games were actually released for it, but I'm sure there were more.

  4. Re:Meh. on Five Men Arrested in LexisNexis Data Theft · · Score: 1

    Amoral means that morals have no place in its existence. Animals are amoral.
    Immoral means that they break decent moral standards. Bad people are immoral.

  5. I wanna volunteer on China Getting 'Serious' About Spam? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Where can I sign up? I wanna read people's mail!

  6. Hold it right there! on Science Ability Down in U.S. High Schools · · Score: 1

    All the think tanks I know of are actually made of college professors, not to act against them. Of which think tanks do you speak?

  7. Just another reason on Merrill Lynch Predicts $200 Wii · · Score: 1

    Just another reason for me to say don't fear the Wiiper

  8. Honesty and reputation? on The Economy of Online Crime · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Honesty my ass. They're all just being extra careful not to get caught.

  9. Re:We can do better on Metal Gear Solid Movie Confirmed · · Score: 1

    If he read Slashdot, you'd probably be begging for mercy right now.

    How about Steven Seagall?

  11. GalCiv 2 on What Would You Like to See from Game AI? · · Score: 1

    Play Galactic Civilizations 2 and you will understand what game AI should be.

  12. Re:Hey relatives on Grand Theft Auto Civil Case Moves Forward · · Score: 1

    So my comment doesn't make sense because I didn't even read the summary properly. That means I'll get modded up, right?

  13. Time for investing on UMD Format's Death Rattle Begins · · Score: 1

    1. Go buy all the UMD movies you can find 2. Shove them in the closet and leave them for 20 years 3. Sell them one at a time to rabid fanboys on E-Bay

  14. Hey relatives on Grand Theft Auto Civil Case Moves Forward · · Score: 2, Informative

    If he was mimicking the game, it's time to remove him from the game. Sometimes helping somebody with a problem is as simple as "let's go fishing" or something similar. If they noticed terrible behavior from him before hand and they actually cared about him and not making money off his mistakes, they would have sought to help him beforehand instead of whining after the fact.

  15. Re:Yeah but does it have the content too? on Microsoft Releases MechCommander 2 Source Code · · Score: 1

    It's about 5 years old, I think. It's really a very good game. If you're into the sort of thing, you could always download the ISO and burn it. It works just fine and doesn't need a CD key. Friend of an acquaintance of mine told me so, anyway.

  16. Re:Why should mail and calendar be integrated? on Mozilla Lightning 0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    It doesn't have anything to do with any e-mail protocol. It makes ical calendars. Currently, it's for keeping up with your own calendar and it just happens to be in an email client. Actually, it's just an extension. If you don't like it, don't get it.

  17. What the hell is a DJ? on Learning to DJ? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm not even sure what a DJ is. Doesn't that just mean you have lots of MP3's and a CD burner? My recommendation is to learn to play an instrument. Go out and buy yourself a guitar/banjo/piano/anything and take some lessons for it. Or maybe learn to sing. It's really fun and rewarding to play an instrument and/or sing.

  18. Re:Forget Japan on U.S. Army Robots Break Asimov's First Law · · Score: 1

    While I was spending money on videogames, he was renting DVD's and making copies of them. We both had fun in our own ways. We were both taking hard science classes and making good grades. You know nothing of your selected topic.

  19. Forget Japan on U.S. Army Robots Break Asimov's First Law · · Score: 1

    My roommate last year was Japanese. I kicked his ass in every videogame I have. Also, he's never played DDR even once! So much for those 1337 Japanese.

    It's called the IDSA.

  21. Not necessarily "marketing" on Game Previews Just Game Marketing? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It wouldn't make sense to say many bad things about a game before it's even finished; it wouldn't be fair. It does make sense that game writers would tell the eager fans everything they do have to be excited about. Should they write me an article telling me that some budgetware paintball game will have no features and the core gameplay will suck? No. That can be saved for a review. When something rad like Oblivion is being developed, it does make quite a bit of sense to tell me what'll make it so interesting beforehand. If they didn't, nobody would buy the magazine. It's not selling games, it's selling magazines.

  22. Re:Right and left are false dichotomies on Netroots Politics · · Score: 1

    I agree with you completely. Speaking of balancing out the fuckers, isn't it interesting how in this particular forum on this particular website, everything I've said has been modded down for no good reason and some other things that have little value get modded up? Talk about "community" or "corporate capitalist pigs" and they love you. Talk about personal responsibility and freedom and they hate you automatically.

  23. Don't need one on The Videogame Oscars · · Score: 1

    Game reviewers and magazines and things like gamerankings.com already do a great job for gamers. No need for an awards show. To me, finding a half-decent movie to downl^H^H^H^H^H rent is a harder thing to do. Also, if music and movies had come to be in their present form of easy access like video games in the age of the internet, the internet would be the only decent place to get information about them, just like video games.

    The government shouldn't have started it. Now that it's here, I'm gonna go ahead and use it. The government shouldn't have built that huge library in my town. It is there, though, and I will use it. Not every action of every day is a philosophical battle.

  25. Re:Right and left are false dichotomies on Netroots Politics · · Score: 1

    I actually agree that the L party isn't the answer presently. Things like voluntary taxation and privatization of highways can't possibly work. I figure the L party is the best shot I have at reducing the size of government since I've seen what Republicans really mean when they say "freedom" and "small gov't". Also, you should look into the idea called (I think) the "fair tax". It's a little crazy, but it sounds at least plausible. So you give everybody in America a $500 EBT card once a month to buy enough food to barely live and then you put a sales tax on everything. That should mean the end of intrusive income tax and death tax and all those other really awful taxes. It should also be able to gain the needed funds if done right. It's a bit unrefined, but worth looking at. I believe there is a website for it somewhere.
