  1. Tribes 2 playerbase balkanized on Tribes Franchise Quietly Strangled · · Score: 1

    Yep - too many mods.

    Sucks too - there's nothing like being part of a bomber crew, or jumping out of a havoc with 4 other heavies and pwning the enemy gens / ff gens. Or lobbing tank mortars onto the vpad from a mile away with the help of a scout with a targetting laser.

    Tribes 2 had more opportunities for more kinds of teamwork than any other game to date, but with a billion flavors of the game and no official servers, the player base just got too fragmented to find games or tribes to join.

  2. Re:MxO? on 24 Hours In The Matrix · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Your mom.

  3. Re:MxO? on 24 Hours In The Matrix · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    *cough* Oh... Matrix Online... I thought you were trying to propogate some lame techie way of saying IMO... Carry on. (Faggot.)

  4. MxO? on 24 Hours In The Matrix · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What the fuck is "MxO" supposed to mean?

    Why don't you take a shower instead of learning increasingly idiotic acronyms?

  5. YOU ARE THE MEMBER OF NASA on Senator Calls on NASA to Service Hubble · · Score: 1


    Let me preface this by say that I am a scientist.

    Really? Are you also the member of NASA?

  6. Re:Worth it? on LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass · · Score: 1

    And it's still better than Halo.

  7. FLAMEBAIT? on FCC to Fine Curses More Than Nuke Violations · · Score: 1

    What the fuck?

    I don't think the parent's comment was trying to lessen the horrors of "female circumcision". Just draw attention to the fact that "the other circumcision" is also not a good thing.

    Flamebait? Fuckwits...

  8. Gee... on Huge Star Quake Rocks Milky Way · · Score: 5, Funny

    The explosion luckily occured about 50,000 light years away form us, on the far side of the Milky Way, as the article goes on to say that had the explosion been within 10 light years of us, it "would possibly have triggered a mass extinction."

    Yeah... that would have been a real loss.

    (Yes folks, I'm just that bitter.)

  9. Re:Value of astronaut life? on NASA Prepares for Space Rescues · · Score: 1

    So then your stance is that every human life is inifinitely valuable and no expense should be spared to rescue a single individual? Even if the resources required for such a rescue placed an extreme burden on the rest of humanity? (Yes, we are venturing into the theoretical.)

  10. Re:Value of astronaut life? on NASA Prepares for Space Rescues · · Score: 1


    If one of them is me, yes.

    Oh come off it. You knew the risks when you signed up. Take it like a man. (Or woman.)

  11. Value of astronaut life? on NASA Prepares for Space Rescues · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Exactly where do you draw the line when it comes to the cost of saving a handful of high-profile people? (Astronauts.)

    Are 7 so-so scientists really worth the tens of millions of dollars needed to launch a rescue mission?

  12. Re:2005 -- Year of Desktop Linux - troll on Linux Weekly News 2004 Timeline · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is some weird kind of troll.

    Don't you know that every year since 98 has been "the year for desktop linux"?

    The people who modded this up have been trolled. They have lost. Have a nice day.

  13. Wouldn't it be cooler? on Three Largest Stars Identified · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Thanks for the laugh :)

    (This is one of the reasons I read with Flamebait +6.)

  14. Re:That's easy on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    ...turn off the computer, put away the porn, and go find a girlfriend. Seriously.

    Wow - and to think it's just that simple. So obvious! You will make millions by selling your wisdom to millions of men who lack female companionship! Just turn off the computer, put away the porn, and you will be mobbed by women! How could this simple and self-evident truth have eluded so many for so long?

    Oh wait, you're just an egotistical prick, n/m.

  15. Manipulation on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    Blah. This scares me.

  16. Re:Isn't there one? on GTA Blamed for Graffiti · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Then slap the ones that answer "no" until they tell the truth and be done with it.

    Please never have children. (Of course, most of the slashdot isn't inclined, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.)

  17. Re:Exciting! on 2004 MN4, Even Higher Probability · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...is it not your responsibility to breed in order to improve the gene pool?

    Although the prospect of lowering the percentage of Bush voters is appealing, I'd have to raise at least a dozen children to make up for the fact that people with better educations have fewer offspring than the NASCAR-watching, mouth-breathing heartland-dwellers do.

    It's a hopeless situation - unless a mass-sterilization agent is deployed, we are all going to drown in a sea of idiots in the next 30 years.

  18. Re:Exciting! on 2004 MN4, Even Higher Probability · · Score: 0, Troll


    If you're not a breeder, you're going extinct whether or not this hits.

    Uhm, people who breed die too. Your offspring != you.

  19. Re:Exciting! on 2004 MN4, Even Higher Probability · · Score: -1, Troll

    No one asked your ignorant ass, breeder. Why don't you run along now and fuck something?

  20. Are 'tards people? on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: 0, Troll

    I hold as self evident that we are all endowed with certain inalienable rights. Among them: life, liberty, and property.

    But what group of beings is denoted by "we"? How can a 'tard have the right to life if it has no hope of comprehending what life is?

  21. Not trolling. on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can assure you, it wasn't intended as a troll.

    'Tards should be destroyed.

  22. Retards on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: -1, Troll

    Piss off. Retards are fair game at all times in all circumstances.

    Retards have nothing to offer society, except perhaps as manual laborers, but even then they could never be as effective as their non-retarded counterparts. Oh, they're also good for making fun of.

    'Tards should be aborted, executed, and otherwise forcibly removed from existence as soon upon detection as is feasible.

  23. The mysterious AO rating... on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 0, Troll


    I think it's a good idea to require proof of age when purchasing games marked AO or Mature by the ERSB.

    Are there really any games rated AO? They seem to be far more scarce than NC-17 films...

  24. Concert SERIES? on Final Fantasy Concert Series Coming to the States · · Score: 1

    Uhm, ok... so they played Los Angeles... now they're going to play Chicago...

    So playing a second show in another city makes it a "series"? That seems like rather Clintonian hair-splitting. Or are they really planning a TOUR of the U.S.? If so, it sure as hell hasn't been mentioned here or in the article...

  25. Re:Oh sad day.. on Jeff Minter's Unity Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Gamecube is dying

    Do we have confirmation from Netcraft?
