  1. Re:uploaded video footage of gameplay is verbotten on Five Days Locked in a Room With GTA IV · · Score: 1

    Interesting. I've seen GTA footage of the other games all over youtube for years. Why the big kibosh all of a sudden?

  2. parchment paper yellow? on What Font Color Is Best For Eyes? · · Score: 1

    Light parchment color yellow, with darker text is good for me.
    Reminds me of an old book.

  3. Re:One word...Weatherbug. on Should IT Shops Let Users Manage Their Own PCs? · · Score: 1

    She knows better now, but it wasn't long ago that I had to lock my wife's computer down, so she couldn't install this evil thing.

  4. Scientology Youtube channel on Scientology's Credibility Questioned Over Video Channel · · Score: 1

    The news sites are claiming that the Scientology Video Channel launched simultaneously on their website AND on YouTube. But I can't find the YouTube version.

    Anyone find the URL?

  5. Re:Good for Clinton on Clinton Takes Ohio, Texas; McCain Seals The Deal · · Score: 1

    I blogged pretty much the same thing, just a few minutes ago.

    Hillary Clinton: SuperSpoiler

  6. Re:You're wrong, Taco on Brawndo, It's Got Electrolytes. It's What Plants Crave · · Score: 1

    From a fiscal point of view, the point should have been to make a FUNNY satire on the human race. Not a MEH one. Maybe if they did that, someone would have actually seen it.

  7. Re:Requires Neverwinter Nights on Academic Games Are No Fun · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

    And at the least, couldn't they maybe have based it on something like Oblivion, as a mod package?

  8. Re:WoW, for consoles? on Blizzard and Activision Announce $18.8bn Merger · · Score: 1

    I could see console-specific version of WoW being developed. I think it would definetly be a buy for many console gamers, more than people realize.

  9. WoW, for consoles? on Blizzard and Activision Announce $18.8bn Merger · · Score: 1

    Any chance the Activision involvement could lead to World of Warcraft ported to next-gen consoles?

  10. Re:All I want to know on Game Journalist May Have Been Fired Over Negative Review · · Score: 1

    Yeah. But those who didn't see the video review can watch it here.

  11. Re:All I want to know on Game Journalist May Have Been Fired Over Negative Review · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Pretty Vacant on Sex Pistols Reunite For Guitar Hero III · · Score: 1

    Now I'm in a quandry...who do I believe?

    You, or Wikipedia?

  13. Pretty Vacant on Sex Pistols Reunite For Guitar Hero III · · Score: 1

    They are listed on the soundtrack for the game Skate, as well. They redid "Pretty Vacant"

  14. go back to law school on Video Professor Sues 100 Anonymous Critics · · Score: 1

    My daughter knows more about the legal system than Video Professor does, and she's three and a half.

  15. GameStop a non-factor on GameStop's View of the Gaming World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nobody buys new games from GameStop, anyway.

  16. Re:How can you tell if you have FiOS? on Cablevision CEO a Verizon FiOS Customer? · · Score: 1

    Your neighborhood may have infrastructure in place, but I wouldn't think you could log in to their network without a valid account/ID/pw.

  17. Re:By what? on Sony Dismisses Critics of Lair · · Score: 1

    There wasn't much to it, once you got past the novelty of the SixAxis control scheme. Then again, the price was great. It's the only PS3 game my wife plays.

  18. Re:Not the right box... on Cablevision CEO a Verizon FiOS Customer? · · Score: 1

    Aside from the differences in photo quality between the two, there appears to be a datestamp in the top photo, and none in the bottom photo.

    Even if they are from the same camera (and that appears unlikely), it still just looks like a picture of some wires, AND a picture of a mailbox.

    That's like taking a picture of me on a John Deere, and a picture of the White House, and then claiming I mow the President's yard.

  19. a dud by any other name on Sony Dismisses Critics of Lair · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't care how they try to smooth things over in the press... just rent the game. Anyone can quickly see that creature moves about as gracefully as a drunk uncle.

    Buy it? You'll be pissed you even blew a rental fee.

  20. Re:It just slipped from a 9.0 to a 4.9 on Haze Now Slated As A PS3 Exclusive · · Score: 1

    I've watched the demo footage. Lead character's hair/ponytail is all jittery and distracting. framerate looks bad, from what I've seen. Speaking of what I've already seen, it looks too much like a ripoff of God Of War.

  21. semantics on The US Rural Broadband Crisis · · Score: 1

    Right now, about 17% [of store locations] can't get broadband," says CIO Robert Hinkle


    I'm willing to bet there's a difference in semantics, here.

    "can't get" is not equal to "won't pay what they're asking".

  22. Re:well duh... on The White House Crowd Control Manual · · Score: 1

    I refer you to the First Amendment.

    Although...he's right, you know. There IS a time and place.

    For instance: you can't just claim "First Ammendment!! First Ammendment!!" and protest on, say, private property. Or have a peace parade (on a public street) at 2AM.
  23. Re:Lord help us! on School Boards Rule, Internet No Longer Dangerous · · Score: 1

    I walked into my school's library and saw a group of men staring at nude photos plain as the eye can see,


    Why were there men standing around in your school library?

    Sounds like your school has a *intruder* problem, not an *internet* problem. ;-)

  24. 'increasingly juicy targets' on Social Networking Sites Full of Security Holes · · Score: 1
    I'm guessing if you're searching MySpace for "juicy", then YES... you'll probably see more than a few 'security holes'. That's just the risk you take, as a user of The_Internet.

    /haven't tried, myself

  25. Re:Wii brings back the fun to gaming... on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    I was around in the "old days".

    I distinctly remember that Defender/Stargate controls confused the hell out of me.
