  1. For us PC users on Trent Reznor Challenges Music Norms · · Score: 1

    Can someone convert this to Acid or Fruity Loops format? I am certainly not going to buy a mac just so I can use Garageband.

  2. AIPU on World's First Physics Processing Unit · · Score: 1

    Games need an A.I processing unit (AIPU). The enemies in computer games are still as dumb as a box of hammers (despite all the developer lies about how they work together, adapt to you, etc). All the graphics and ragdoll gimmicks in the world don't make up for boring enemies.

  3. oh no! on Buy a Piece of Acclaim · · Score: 1

    43,000 copies of video games

    Estimated value exceeding at least $3

  4. Re:Quickie Slashdot Poll... on Ballmer Says iPod Users are Thieves · · Score: 1

    1) 98% (don't forget BT and usenet) 2) 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000% 3) 0.1% (I must have at least 1 free song) 4) 1.0% 5) 0.9%

  5. Re:Full List of DVD Changes on Star Wars DVD Set Previews/Reviews · · Score: 1

    Rumoured : - The Tauntauns could be re-done with CGI - Nope
    - Rumour that the missing Wampa Attack sequence may be back into the beginning of the film - Nope
    - 'Grander escape sequence' between Lando, Leia, Chewie, C3PO and R2 in Cloud City - Nope
    - Possible additional deleted scene(s) with Yoda on Dagobah - Nope
    - Boba Fett's voice redubbed by Temura Morrison (Jango Fett) - Yep (badly too)

    Who at theforce.net compiled this bunch of nonsense?

    Other confirmed details (off the top of my head):

    -no shockwave when the AT-AT destroys the power generator, shockwaves were all the rage in '97 with stupid games like Incoming

    -Vader still says "inform the command ship that my shuttle bla bla bla" instead of "bring my shuttle" as in OTR

    -Luke still says "you were lucky to get out of there" rather than the original and much funnier, "you're lucky you don't taste very good" (Dagoba)

    -Snowmonster still shown, and he still looks like a guy in a fur suit

    -Luke doesn't scream like a little bitch when jumping off (as he did in the SE's)

  6. Re:Hmm. on Rio Reveals iPod Mini Slayer · · Score: 1

    I'll take metallic/silver over fairy white any day. Rio should definitely rip-o...borrow the iPod interface though. Regarding no iTunes, so what. Again, not everyone is subscribes to the Apple lovein.

  7. If you want to modify this mod on Marine Finds Duct Tape on Mars · · Score: 4, Informative

    The flashlight intensity and pattern of this mod is controlled by a .tga file that acts as an alpha channel. I opened it in photoshop and used the circle gradient to make the spot larger with a softer edge (the one in the mod is way too small and hard edged). Add it back to the pk4 and make sure it retains the /lights path. On a sidenote, this mod seems to screw up screenshots. I took 4 to show people and they were solid blue. You can also have some fun with the .tga and have like 2 flashlights or give it a wide/narrow shape, etc.

  8. I said it once before on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    Star Wars Episode III: Droids Gone Wild

  9. However... on Star Wars Episode III : Birth Of The Empire · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Jar Jar stepping in cow dung. Jar Jar getting farted on by a space-cow. Jar Jar shop-lifting food. That is bad storytelling. If you have time constraints, you cut the scenes that have no relevance to the story and no impact on the flow, not the ones that are both cool and integral to the story.
    George thought those were cool scenes. That's why ep1+2 sucked.
  10. official title leaked on Star Wars Episode 3 Release Date Announced · · Score: 3, Funny

    SW EP III: Droids Gone Wild

  11. MStunes on Microsoft Dismisses Apple's iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    Shudder. I'm almost afraid to speculate about MS integrating their own MStunes.NET into Longhorn. It is of course a vital part of any OS, just like a web browser and email client.
