  1. This article is bad and you should feel as such! on The Best Achievements · · Score: 0

    For liking it!

    All of those achievements are BUTTS, I say! Where are the WEIRD ones? Like the 1 point achievement for beating Bullet Witch on HELL difficulty? Or the 0 point achievement you get for falling down a damn manhole five times in a row in TMNT Arcade?

    And what kind of buttass list has multiple achievements from THE SAME GAME in it? Piss and piffle!

  2. On a related tangent... on PSP North American Launch Date · · Score: 0

    I used to run PSP (Paintshop Pro) on my PS2 (IBM PS2 Model 70). Yeah, I've been burned by Sony's shitty hardware too many times. A $650 Mavica, $300 PS2, $200 PSX, $450 DVD player, all with dead drives, all purchased brand new... so even though I'm still pissed at Nintendo about the Gamecube NIC, AKA the $35 paperweight, I'd still rather get a DS. Gimmick Gadget! Touch screen, wireless linking, dual cart slots, and built-in junk. At least I'll still be able to play the same copy of Mario Kart Super Circuit that I've been playing for years, all the while putting off getting x-new game.

    I'll just have my famous genius scientist leave me a super robot hidden in a cavern behind a waterfall in x-country, and somehow come up with teams of engineers to repair and reload the mega-alloy missile punch manipulators after I save the Earth from humanoid alien invaders each Saturday morning. Let's fighting!

  7. Umm, something. on Introducing Children to Computers? · · Score: 1

    My early experience with computers was terrible at best. I was allowed to mess around with proprietary dummy terminals and other systems that have no modern legacy. I had a computer class in 1st grade, 1984, and I think the system I was on was a TRaSh-80 of some sort. My uncle let me borrow a TRS-80 BL2 for a while, but I barely learned anything from it. A book of basic programs isn't a textbook.

    In 3rd grade, I had another class, where I used Apple ][ systems, and occasionally the Apple ][ GS by the teacher's desk. Learned nothing from Truck Driver, Number Munchers, or Carmen Sandiego. I still can't remember how to reboot an Apple from the keyboard. So much for school. In 9th grade, I had a communication technology class, but we did little but mess with a plotter and Car Builder. In 10th grade, I had a computer class with Win3fW systems, and I learned how to use Excel... not that I can remember any of the cell codes. In 12th grade, I was finally permitted to take Electronics. TWO. Not Electronics 1! The entire class failed. The teacher retired (but should have been fired).

    I got my first computer in October of 1998. An AMD K6-2 300, Win98, 32MB of ram, a 2MB 2D video card, and a 56K modem. I've learned everything I know about computers since then, on my own, and most of that was before Wikipedia and Google. Learning by doing is easily the best, if you have access to decent equipment, and a teacher/geek/friend who isn't a damn moron to help you out.

    I dunno, I'm kinda rambling. In summary, my entire contact with computers before actually owning one taught me next to nothing about them. If you want to teach a kid, give them an OS they can't break, and a straightforward GUI without a special theme. Some people freak out when you change the color scheme on their system. "What happened to Windows?!" Rolleyes.

  8. Re:Blame M$ on It's Not About The Technology · · Score: 1

    Hmm. From what I can discern, Windows "sux" because you can absolutely ruin it if you're stupid enough. Nix doesn't exactly present its delicate parts to the average moron user, so it's harder to kill... Same for Apple's offerings, right?

    You know, if you put antifreeze in the oil reservoir, your engine will die. It's not the manufacturer's fault.

  9. Re:#1 should have been Steam!!! on Top 20 Gaming Lows of 2004 · · Score: 1

    If they somehow decide that fees should be payed to use Steam for whatever reason, people aren't stupid, they will leave and so would I. People are most certainly stupid. Do you think the diehard HL/CS camp would greatly protest paying $5 or so per month to play games through Steam? "Hay, it's cheaper than those stupied mmolololwtf games"
