  1. Blizz forums on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you've ever been to the Blizzard forums then you'd know nothing of value was lost.

  2. Re:2Ghz what? on Motorola Planning 2GHz Android Phone For Later This Year · · Score: 2, Funny

    Burn! (no really)

  3. Re:I have the first review on Dungeon Siege III Being Developed by Obsidian · · Score: 1

    Sadly this is true. I was really impressed with NWN2 as a game I bought it just recently and there was still a bug that prevented me from finishing the game without a console command workaround. I was interested in Alpha Protocol till I heard about about it having the typical Obsidian "polish".

  4. Re:Waaah! It's a whine from Gabe Newell on Valve's Newell Thinks PS3 Needs To Be "Open Like a Mac" · · Score: 1

    Uhhh, Blizzard has made Mac versions of all of their games. They've been releasing the games for both platforms simultaneously for at least a decade or so.

  5. Re:why buy WoG through Steam, instead of NOT throu on Steam Client for Mac Launches, Linux Client On the Way · · Score: 1

    Not everyone has heard of World of Goo, they might browse the Steam library for an impulse buy.

  6. Re:Netflix has a better plan for only $8.99 on Rumors of Hulu's Subscription Plans · · Score: 1

    And it works on your TV through all current gen consoles. I don't know of a way to use Hulu through a PS3.

  7. Re:I know just where to use it first... on Innocent Until Predicted Guilty · · Score: 1

  8. Database on Facebook Patents the News Feed · · Score: 1

    When my patent on relation databases goes through I'm going to own this rock.

  9. Re:Awful ports? on When PC Ports of Console Games Go Wrong · · Score: 1

    Way better than coaxial. ....Is it threading?

  10. Re:Why not create an artificial moon? on Space Junk Getting Worse · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that also affect all of the stuff orbiting the planet that isn't junk too?

  11. Re:SC2 = Star Control II on StarCraft II Beta To Begin This Month · · Score: 1

    SupCom 2

  12. Re:Will it stay free? on Blizzard Previews Revamped Battle.net · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's been 12 years since Starcraft came out and legacy Battle.net is still up.

  13. Re:What is the deal? on EPIC Files FTC Complaint Over Facebook's New Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it is only your profile/avatar photo, not all of your albums.

  14. Re:Hope you have permission for that photo -- poor on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 1

    Kid probably shouldn't have set his Facebook profile settings to Everyone.

  15. What is the deal? on EPIC Files FTC Complaint Over Facebook's New Privacy Policy · · Score: 1, Informative

    What are these people trying to hide the fact that they're friends with Hitler or something?

  16. If IE has taught us anything... on Google Says Ad Blockers Will Save Online Ads · · Score: 1

    Random schmoes don't know how to change their browser let alone install extensions to block ads.

  17. Re:No mention of Prototype? on NYT's "Games To Avoid" an Ironic, Perfect Gamer Wish List · · Score: 1

    I was shocked to not see Prototype on the list as well.

  18. Re:Does anyone really believe the scores ? on Review Scores the "Least Important Factor" When Buying Games · · Score: 1

    Nothing ever lives up to the hype, don't buy into the bullshit of "best game ever" and you won't be disappointed as easily. Plenty of games that don't live up to the pre-release hype are still very enjoyable.

  19. Maybe I am dumb... on Newspapers Face the Prisoner's Dilemma With Google · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How does moving off of Google to Bing make them more money? I know Microsoft is paying them but I still don't see how this beneficial. If they kill Google and Bing fills in the void marketshare wise won't they just have the same problem?

  20. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on StarCraft AI Competition Announced · · Score: 1

    I'm not worried it'll probably just block the path with supply depots and think it is safe.

  21. Re:My own review, after having finished the game on Review: Dragon Age: Origins · · Score: 1

    I had similar complaints with lack of stamina/mana until I realized what the willpower stat did. After raising willpower to around 20 my warrior/berserker/commander can easily roll with three sustained abilities up and still have plenty of stamina for activated abilities. The AI is pretty good once I learned how to use it. My defender (Alistair worked great) and healer (I devoted all my mage's attribute points to willpower/magic) were just set on default. I put my rogue and berserker on scrapper and set one tactic to make the rogue follow the target of my berserker. The over abundant crafting stuff is in there because harder difficulties require a lot more consumable use.

  22. Compromise on Cable Exec Suggests Changing Consumer Behavior, Not Business Model · · Score: 1

    In order for me to get everything I want you're going to have to make some changes.

  23. Re:The game that invented the headshot... on Epic Releases Free Version of Unreal Engine · · Score: 1

    Sadly, the bio gun has been in every version.

  24. Protip! on Chinese Bureaucrats Duel Over Right To Regulate WoW · · Score: 1

    Protip: Roll a flavor of the month class. I don't know which one it is but you can count the nerf threads on the wow pvp forums to figure it out.

  25. Re:Windows 7: "I'm up here, boys!" on Engineers Tell How Feedback Shaped Windows 7 · · Score: 2

    Can you translate this into a car analogy for me?
